How do I make a booklet from a PDF?

Create a booklet by uploading your PDF and letting the tool impose the pages into signature order for folding — so when you print double-sided and fold the stack, the pages read in the correct sequence. Choose paper size and binding, then download the print-ready booklet. Everything runs locally.

  • Automatic 2-up signature imposition
  • Correct fold-and-staple page order
  • Duplex-ready output
