Print Booklets
Booklets are documents with multiple pages arranged on sheets of
paper that, when folded, present the correct page order. You can create
2-up saddle-stitched booklets—two side-by-side-pages, printed on both
sides, that are collated, folded once, and fastened along the fold. The
first page prints on the same printed sheet as the last page, the second
page on the same sheet as the second-to-last page, and so on. Each
page is automatically centered on the sheet, and large pages are scaled
(shrunk) to fit the printable area. When you collate, fold, and staple the
double-sided pages, the result is a single book with correct pagination.
providers describe the intent of a printed piece, as well as each
process step required to achieve that intent. Settings embedded
in JDF files automate PDF creation and preflight.
