FOLDED BOOKLETS · PAGE ORDER, EXPLAINED

Before you fold.
Put pages in order.

Plan which logical pages share each side of a folded sheet. Count added blanks, split into separate booklets, and save a clear one-copy sheet order.

Count every source page, including covers and intentional blanks. Numbers refer to the source sequence, not printed page labels. Up to 1,000 source pages. No source document is uploaded or rearranged.

Four page positions per physical sheet.

Each side holds two upright pages. Sheets are nested, then folded once down the middle. Added blanks go after the final logical page; a final separate booklet can be smaller.

A separate booklet is its own nested group. This tool does not plan sewing, spine binding or printer feed/rotation settings.

THE PLAN FOR ONE COPY

Outside sheet first.

Sheet 1 is outermost within each booklet. Front and back are each viewed upright from their own printed face. A pipe (|) marks the centre fold.

Repeat this plan for each copy. “Blank” is an added empty page slot.

A SMALL CHECK BEFORE A PRINT RUN

Count the blanks.

One folded sheet provides four page positions. A non-multiple of four needs one, two or three added blanks.

Keep groups clear.

Separate booklets each have an outer sheet and their own nesting order. The last group uses only the sheets it needs.

Test the printer.

A correct page pairing does not choose duplex orientation. Make a small numbered test before using a full print run.
