Here are some of our Frequently Asked Questions:
- Why does my document have to be a multiple of 4 pages?
A booklet is printed on a larger sheet, then folded/stapled in the center. One double-sided sheet will have 4 pages on it, so the smallest booklet is 8 pages. If you need, we can add blank pages (inside covers, or to the back) to accommodate this.
- How do I setup the file?
Please setup your file at the finished (folded) size, with only one page per page in your file (i.e. provide an 8 page file for an 8 page booklet). We can do the booklet imposition, which involves putting the first and last pages together, along with the second and second to last page, etc.
