Frequently asked questions
How do I print the booklet?
Print double-sided with the flip edge set under Double-sided flip (short edge by default). Stack the sheets in order, fold them in half, and staple along the fold.
What if my page count is not a multiple of 4?
Blank pages fill the last sheet. Turn on Keep last page as back cover to put the blanks before the last page instead of after it.
What are signatures and creep?
Sheets per signature splits a thick booklet into groups that are folded separately and then stacked. Creep shifts inner sheets toward the spine, about 0.1 mm per sheet for regular paper, so margins stay even after trimming.
How do I fold the zine?
Print one-sided, fold along the dashed lines, cut the solid line in the middle, then fold it into an 8-page booklet. Page 1 is the cover at the bottom right.
Is anything lost when imposing?
Text stays sharp and selectable because pages are placed as vector graphics, but links and form fields are not carried over.
Does it support right-to-left books?
Yes. Turn on Right to left for books that open on the right, such as Japanese, Arabic, or Hebrew.
