FAQ
Is the output ready to print as a folded booklet?
It is laid out for it: sheet 1 front carries the last page and page 1, its back carries page 2 and the second-to-last page, and so on. Print double-sided and flip on the short edge. Printer duplex settings vary, so print a 4-page test before a long document.
What happens if my page count is not a multiple of 4?
Blank pages are added at the end so the count becomes a multiple of 4. Those blank pages end up as blank halves in the booklet, usually on the inside of the back cover.
What if my pages are different sizes?
The sheet size is based on the first page (two pages wide, one page tall). Every other page is scaled down or up to fit inside its half and centred, so mixed sizes will show different margins.
Does it add margins or a gutter for binding?
No. There is no gutter or creep adjustment; pages are simply centred in each half. Leave binding margin in your original document if you need it.
