Everything you need to know about using this tool effectively

What is PDF Booklet?

PDF Booklet rearranges your PDF pages into a booklet imposition layout, creating properly ordered pages for double-sided printing, folding, and binding into a professional booklet. Choose between saddle-stitch and half-fold binding styles, and the tool adds blank pages automatically to complete the booklet signatures.

Our PDF Booklet tool automatically reorders and positions your PDF pages into a booklet imposition layout. When printed double-sided and folded in half, the pages will appear in the correct reading order. The tool calculates the optimal page arrangement based on your document's page count, adds blank pages if needed to reach a multiple of four, and creates a print-ready output. You can choose between saddle-stitch and half-fold binding styles, adjust booklet size, and configure margins for your specific printer.

Can I create booklets with more than 100 pages?
