Reorder pages for a folded, saddle-stitched booklet. The tool is free in your browser and shows the result without asking you to create an account.

How to use

Prepare a PDF whose pages are in normal reading order.
Select the file; the interface shows a 25 MB maximum.
Choose the binding mode: left stitch for Western reading or right stitch for right-to-left reading.
Run the imposition and check the page order in a preview or after printing.
Print one test sheet before full production if the page count is odd.

Example

A team prepares a folded and saddle-stitched show program. They impose the PDF as a booklet so that duplex printing, folding and stitching produce pages in the correct order. A paper test validates the fold.

Limits and formats

The tool reorders pages for booklet printing; it does not fold, print or staple the document.
An odd page count may require a blank page to complete the booklet, so check the output before printing.
The binding direction must be chosen correctly, otherwise the reading order may appear reversed.
Margins and edges may react differently depending on the printer and paper used.

Where processing happens

Processing is entirely local: the tool runs in your browser and nothing is sent outside. The PDF stays on your device during imposition, which avoids sending an internal document to a remote service. You can prepare a booklet without creating an account.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose the correct binding direction?

Pick left stitching for Western reading, page after page from left to right. Pick right stitching if the document is read from right to left.

What if the page count is odd?

Is the result ready to print?

Yes, the tool arranges pages for a folded, saddle-stitched booklet. You still need to print duplex, fold and staple according to your equipment.
