# 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 by choosing File Export as PDF…. Your document needs to have a multiple of 4 number of pages (4, 8, 12, 16,…). You may need to add up to 3 blank pages.

To print a booklet:

Klicka på Arkiv Skriv ut.

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…

Exempel:

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-sided option, select Short Edge (Flip).

In the Pages per side option, select 2.

In the Page ordering menu, select Left to right.
