A clear path to print
Open. Adjust. Print.
Your artwork stays on your device.
Your layout stays in your control.
- 01
Open pages in reading order
Use the order a reader expects. Check whether the source contains single pages or two-page spreads.
- 02
Choose the sheet and finishing
Set the paper size and orientation. Review bleed, crop marks and any creep compensation for the chosen stock.
- 03
Proof, print and fold
Inspect both sides and Print notes. Print a duplex proof at actual size, fold it and check the reading order.
A little print know-how
Good files.
Better results.
A few things to check before you send your job to the printer.
Read the Booklet · saddle stitch guideAllow for full-bleed artwork
A5 artwork with bleed and crop marks needs more room than a plain A4 sheet. Choose a larger sheet and confirm the finished size.
Make a folded proof
A folded sample reveals upside-down backs, misplaced covers and blank pages before you run the full quantity.
Do I need to rearrange the pages first?
No. Supply pages in reading order. Booklet calculates the pairs needed for folding; choose the source layout explicitly if automatic spread detection is not right for your file.
What if my page count is not a multiple of four?
The layout adds blank pages to complete folded sheets. Review the preview and blank-page note to confirm their positions.
Which duplex flip setting should I use?
Follow the Print notes for the current layout, then check one folded proof. Printer feed direction and output rotation can change the setting you need.
When should I use Book instead?
Use Book when you need several folded signatures for a bound volume. Booklet is the starting point for a single nested saddle-stitched section.
