# Print folded booklets

You can make folded booklets (like a small book or pamphlet) by printing pages of a document in a special order and changing a couple of printing options.

These instructions are for printing a booklet from a PDF document. If you want to print a booklet from a LibreOffice document, first export it to a PDF. Make sure the document has a multiple of 4 pages. You may need to add up to 3 blank pages.

To print a booklet:

Klik op Bestand Afdrukken.

Go to the General tab. Under Range, choose Pages.

Type the numbers of the pages in this order (n is the total number of pages, and a multiple of 4):

n, 1, 2, n-1, n-2, 3, 4, n-3, n-4, 5, 6, n-5, n-6, 7, 8, n-7, n-8, 9, 10, n-9, n-10, 11, 12, n-11...

Examples:

4 page booklet: Type 4,1,2,3

8 page booklet: Type 8,1,2,7,6,3,4,5

20 page booklet: Type 20,1,2,19,18,3,4,17,16,5,6,15,14,7,8,13,12,9,10,11

Now, go to the Page Setup tab.

Under Layout, in the Two-side option, select Short Edge (Flip).

In the Pages per side option, select 2.

In the Page ordering menu, select Left to right.

Click Print.
