What is PDF Booklet Maker?
PDF Booklet Maker rearranges a document for saddle-stitch printing: two pages on each side of a sheet, in the order that makes them read correctly once the stack is printed double-sided, folded in half and stapled. Blank pages are added when the page count isn't a multiple of four. Choose left or right binding, the sheet size, margins and the gutter.
Make a printable booklet from any PDF. Pages are imposed two per sheet side in saddle-stitch order, blank pages are added when needed, and you choose sheet size, binding side, margins and gutter. Print double-sided, flip on the short edge, fold and staple.
