For zine makers, teachers & small print shops
Your pages.
The right fold.
Prepare a booklet PDF before you reach the printer. See the page order, add the necessary blanks, and export a separate proof.
Choose your pages
- No files selected.
Use a static, upright PDF. Encrypted files and interactive forms are unsupported. Original files remain unchanged.
Check before printing
ZIP contains imposed.pdf, order-proof.pdf, page-order.csv, job.json and PRINT-FIRST.txt. Full edition also includes fronts.pdf and backs.pdf. Preview shows order, not an image rendering of your PDF; open exported PDFs before printing.
One sheet first. Then the run.
- Open imposed.pdf. Print landscape at Actual size / 100%.
- The PDF already contains two pages per sheet. Do not apply Booklet or 2-up again.
- Short-edge duplex is the usual starting setting. Test one sheet; your driver and tray may differ.
- Fold and check: cover upright, inside pages upright, numbers in reading order.
This is a page-preparation tool, not a press-ready certificate. Physical printing has not been tested by us. No creep, bleed, crop marks or universal manual-duplex tray instructions.

Privacy, limits & licence
All PDF processing happens on your device. No file upload, analytics, tracking, accounts or automatic saving. Downloaded PDFs contain their source artwork; sharing them is your decision. Sheet order and scaling are mechanically checked; printer behavior and human usability remain separate. Use files you have permission to reproduce. Tool is AI-assisted, with original implementation and the MIT-licensed PDF-LIB library. Standard PDF annotations, links, signatures and attachments are not retained.
