How to use booklet pdf

  1. Add the PDF. Drop the file in. The preview shows the first sheet.
  2. Choose the paper. Pick A4 or Letter and set a margin or a small fold gap.
  3. Print and fold. Print double sided, flip on the short edge, then fold the stack in half.

What you get

  • Two pages per side in fold order
  • A4 or US Letter landscape sheets
  • Blank pages added when the count is short
  • A faint fold line if you want one

Why this runs in your browser

Most free PDF sites ask you to upload your file. Then you wait. Then you hope they delete their copy. That is a bad deal for a payslip, a contract or a passport scan.

Booklet PDF reads the file on your device and saves the result to your downloads folder. There is no upload and no copy on a server. For the details, see how it works.

Booklet PDF questions

How many pages do I need?

Any number works. The tool adds blank pages until the count fits a booklet. A four page booklet needs four pages.

Which way do I flip the paper?

Choose flip on the short edge in your printer settings. That keeps the second side the right way up.

What is a saddle stitch booklet?

It is a stack of folded sheets with staples down the fold. The pages are paired so the order works after folding.

Can I print only one booklet?

Yes. You get a PDF with one sheet for every four pages. Print one copy and fold it.

Does it work for A5 booklets?

The sheet is A4 landscape, so each page prints at about A5. That is the normal size for a folded booklet.
