Create Booklet

[Jenelle Centeno]

Whetheryou want to create a booklet for an event or print out an ambitious book project, consider using the pre-built page settings for booklets that comes with Word. The Book Fold layout sets you up for printing your masterpiece automatically in the correct order, ready for folding and binding.

If your printer supports automatic printing on both sides, change Print One Sided to Print on Both Sides. Choose the option Flip pages on short edge to avoid printing the second side of each sheet upside down.

Go to File > Page Setup and check the paper size. Keep in mind that the final size of the booklet is one half of the paper size. Make sure your printer is stocked with paper of the right size.

Hi all, I think I need some advice on the best way to create and print an A5 Booklet using my home printer (ideally from start to finish). I have searched the forums but have been unable to find any help on this topic. I have created a document (in A4 format, I believe? (.afpub file attached)), but when I come to print it, I am unable to get it to print in A5 Booklet format. I have tried all possible combinations in the print settings (my HP LaserJet4250dtn printer supports duplex printing) but no combination seems to produce the required result. I am not sure if I have created the document using the incorrect template, just missing something in the printer settings, or BOTH! Any advice or pointers/links would be greatly appreciated.

I have now managed to resolve the problem for myself. Somehow, in my previous attempts I must have missed a certain combination on the Affinity Publisher 2 print settings panel. I have now stumbled across the correct combination which now prints an A5 Booklet perfectly (I have saved these settings as a print profile).

Go to your profile settings and click on the little picture image below the letter in the circle, you can then change it to a picture of your choice. I'm not sure, but you may have to be a member for a certain time, or have a certain number of posts, before you can make changes.

Not if the final output will be A4 and there is just a need to make a smaller proof print. But yes, I think that you are correct. From the posts it seems like the desired output is in fact A5 sized pages.

Hilltop, thanks for your comments. As you suggest, I changed my document setup page preset to "A5" and yes, that produces the same print output as my solution (just means that I need to resize all the content to fit the new A5 format - it has obviously been sized to fit an A4 document). I would assume that your suggestion is the correct way to produce an A5 document and my "solution" is incorrect (even though it does give me the required output). This is the type of information I was asking for when I created the post.

For a few years I have used Pages and the 'create booklet' function to make PDFs that I can print as booklets for work. I go to the print box, in the bottom left hand corner and in the PDF menu, select 'create booklet' and it opens Preview for me to print.

Since I updated Pages this function no longer works. It appears to go through the process, processing pages 1-17, and then nothing happens. It used to automatically open Preview, but this is no longer the case.

As far as it goes I didn't change anything. The 'create booklet' option is still there, and it appears to be working as it processes through the pages, however, it doesn't open Preview and make the booklet as it used to.

I find it very annoying that the Mac OS does not come with a built in feature to create booklets. I produce a lot of written pages and Create Booklets was my way out. Now I have to share my papers with my PC computer which have this feature built into the system. It saves a lot of paper to write booklets. But this seems to be of no interest to Apple.

I wasn't responding to you. The original poster is using Pages v7.3 on Mojave, where the circa 2007, third-party Create Booklets solution does not work, any better than it does on High Sierra for me. Applications written over eleven years ago do have a shelf life on OS X/macOS.

I was just googling on the subject "create Booklet" and the this site poked up. And I found that someone had the same problem as I had. And this person did not have an answer. So I told the person of my experience. But all of a sudden I am not welcome to discuss these problems because it is a club for Pages. Excuse me but it seem to affect all program on Apple OS, also the Safari which is an Apple product. So I looked for help and you shut me out. Thank you!

I have two computers running on High Sierra OS. On both of these a result from searching om Safari can be printed in a Booklet form using the "Create Booklet" function. But with the new Mojave OS it seem to work somehow but nothing comes out. No booklets. No nothing. And this just because I upgraded one of my computers to Mojave OS. Do you think I will upgrade the other two? No!

I produce for the church the monthly parish magazine - an A4 booklet. I produce the copy and send it to the printer as a Corel document. I also put it on the web site I manage as a PDF - see _feb.pdf for an example. I create the PDF by simply using "Print to PDF".

I think that by following the above I can set up the same document using Peter's instructions. One thing I am not certain of is who allocates the page numbers 1 & 8 and 2 & 7 etc. Me (as I do in Corel) or InDesign?

Do you print in house, or send it out to a commercial printer? The only reason to impose is if you are printing it yourself, and for that you would probably want to use Print Booklet. Your online PDF should be single pages, in consecutive order, to make it easier for your readers.

The hard copy goes to a commercial printer. I also produce a low res PDF version which goes on the village web site (as per link above). The reasons I produce the PDF in the same fomat as the version that the commercial printer would get are a) in Corel it is easier than producing two separate versions and b) most people who are interested in the on-line version (ex-villagers) like to print their own hard copy. I gather that with InDesign I can produce in consecutive order and then decide whether to output in conscutive order or impose (? I am not certain about the meaning of the term "impose" in this context - does it mean produce a version with the double pages correctly numbered for the folded and stapled version? i.e. 1 & 8, 2 &7.

IN ID you should ALWAYS do the layout in consecutive order (1,2,3... known as reader's spreads) so you see what the reader will see. It makes it much easier to jusdge the design and to work with crossovers, if you have any.

how do I make a booklet with Libre Office? Which program and settings. Looking to make a 25-50 page dept. handbook for new employees. Would like it to be a 8X10 sheet of paper folded in half and printed on both sides of the paper.

I am trying to create a kind of book of those that are made with letter size sheets folded in half lengthwise. On my own I tried several things but I only managed to get 2 letter pages joined vertically and that is not what I am looking for. It is important to clarify that the pages will be printed on both sides. In my country we call it booklet ("folleto" in the image). I was working in Publisher but I saw that inDesign offered me better things, and this is the configuration I was using.

Most often a commercial printer will want single pages so they can properly impose for a booklet. If you are doing this yourself at home, you may need page spreads output so you can manually bind the booklet.

On the left is standard booklet page insertion that user must implement to make booklet. On the right is stacked booklet I would like to get. Stacked is nice and tidy and much easier to make good looking booklet in home made conditions, with no need for cutting.

Idea of a script is to set printing order for pages in such manner that when printer is set to print booklet order of pages in print is suitable for simple folding. Sadly, default printer has to be set specifically for this purpose each time you want to use script.
