PDF N-Up & Booklet

What is this tool?

A PDF layout tool with two modes. Pages per sheet (N-up) tiles consecutive pages onto each sheet in a grid. Booklet mode reorders the pages so that, printed double-sided and folded, they read in order — adding blank pages to fill the last sheet and optionally splitting a thick booklet into smaller stacks.

When to use it

  • Printing handouts with four slides per page
  • Making a small booklet from a document
  • Saving paper when printing a long draft
  • Proofing a document's flow in a compact sheet view
  • Preparing a right-to-left booklet

Frequently asked questions

How do I print the booklet?

Print double-sided, flipping on the short edge, then fold the stack in half. The pages come out in reading order.

What if the page count isn't a multiple of four?

Blank pages are added to fill the last sheet.

What are stacks for?

A thick booklet is hard to fold as one stack. Splitting it into smaller stacks of a few sheets makes each easier to fold and bind.

Do links and form fields survive?

No — pages are redrawn onto the new sheets, so links and fillable fields are not carried over.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No — it's processed entirely in your browser.
