A booklet needs the pages in a special order. For 8 pages, the first sheet has 8 and 1 on the front and 2 and 7 on the back. The second sheet has 6 and 3 on the front and 4 and 5 on the back. This tool does the ordering for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my document uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens inside your browser. Your PDF never leaves your device.
How does the booklet page order work?
Pages are grouped in fours for each sheet. With 8 pages: sheet 1 front is 8 and 1, sheet 1 back is 2 and 7, sheet 2 front is 6 and 3, sheet 2 back is 4 and 5. When you fold the sheets and put one inside the other, the pages read 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
What if my page count is not a multiple of 4?
Blank pages are added. Choose whether they go at the end or just before the last page, so the last page stays as the back cover.
Which duplex setting should I choose?
Choose "flip on short edge" in your printer settings, and keep "Short edge" selected in this tool. If your printer can only flip on the long edge, select "Long edge" in this tool and the back sides are turned for you.
My printer is not double-sided. What do I do?
Print the odd pages first. Then turn the stack over, put it back in the printer, and print the even pages. Test with a 4 page file first to learn how your printer feeds paper.
Do links and form fields stay?
No. Clickable links and fillable form fields are not kept. The look of the pages stays the same.
Does it work on a password protected PDF?
No. Unlock it first with the Unlock PDF tool.
Is it free?
Yes, this tool is completely free to use.
