PDF Booklet Maker

Rearrange a document's pages into the correct imposed order for printing double-sided, folding the whole stack in half at once, and stapling along the crease to make a booklet. Blank pages are added automatically if the page count isn't a multiple of four.

This tool produces a PDF ready for double-sided printing, so you can fold all the sheets together at once and staple them at the middle to get a booklet. If the page count isn't a multiple of 4, blank pages are automatically added at the end.

What this tool does

Reorders a PDF's pages into booklet printing order: pages are arranged on sheets so that printing double-sided and folding down the middle produces a booklet that reads correctly.

When to use it

You are printing a booklet, newsletter or event programme to be folded in half.
You want to turn an ordinary document into a small pamphlet for handing out.
You are preparing training material to be printed and saddle-stapled.

How to use it

Put a PDF on the drop area or choose it.
Click "Create and download booklet".
Print the result double-sided, flipping on the short edge, then fold the stack in half.

A practical example

Input

An 8-page document.

Output

A 2-sheet, 4-side file whose pages are in booklet order — not 1, 2, 3, 4, but the order that reads correctly once folded.

When the page count is not a multiple of four, blank pages are inserted where the signature needs them, which is exactly how printed booklets normally work.

Limitations

The file must have at least one page.
The output is specifically for double-sided printing; printing it single-sided produces a meaningless order.
You do not control the number of signatures or the binding method — the order is computed for a single booklet folded down the middle.
Placing two pages on one sheet shrinks the text; check the result before printing many copies.

Privacy and processing

The reordering happens inside your browser and the file is never uploaded.

Technical notes

Pages are copied and arranged with pdf-lib without re-encoding their content.
Blank pages added to complete a signature are created at the same page size so the layout stays aligned.
