Reorder PDF pages two at a time into booklet sides

  1. Drop a PDF or click “Choose files”. The pages of the first file appear as thumbnails.

  2. Under “Layout”, choose N-up or booklet. For N-up, choose how many pages go on each sheet.

  3. Set the paper, order, binding, margin and gap as needed. The preview shows where each page lands.

  4. Click “Create imposed PDF” and download the result. For a booklet, print double-sided with “short-edge binding”.

What it does

2 to 16 pages on one sheet

Choose 2, 4, 6, 8, 9 or 16 pages. Set the sheet orientation and the order: Z or N, left to right or right to left.

Booklet order and blank pages

Pages are reordered so that printing two per side and folding gives a booklet. Only the blank pages needed to reach a multiple of 4 are added.

Vector content kept

Text and drawings in the source PDF are placed as they are, not rasterized. They stay sharp when scaled down.

Outlines show where to cut

Turn on outlines to see the boundary of each page. Check the layout in the preview before saving.

FAQ

How is this different from a printer’s 2-in-1 setting?
A printer’s 2-in-1 mode usually shrinks and places pages in the driver at print time. This tool fixes the layout inside the PDF first. Print it at actual size (no scaling) and the placement stays the same on any printer.
How do I print a booklet double-sided?
Print the saved PDF double-sided with “short-edge binding” (some printers call it “flip on short edge”). After printing, fold each set in half at the centre and staple it.
How do I use right binding for vertical text?
For a booklet, choose “Right binding (vertical text)” under “Binding side”. Pages then run from right to left. For horizontal documents, keep “Left binding”.
Why are blank pages added?
A booklet is folded in groups of 4 pages, so the page count is padded to a multiple of 4 with blank pages. The number of blank pages added is shown next to the result.
Does it work when the page sizes differ?
Yes. Each page is scaled to fit its cell and keeps its proportions. With “Same as source”, the first page’s size is used for the sheet.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Everything is processed in your browser and never sent to a server.

PDF Editor

Lay text (Japanese included), shapes, arrows, a highlighter, freehand drawing and images on top of a PDF, and fill in its form fields. Text, shapes, highlights and freehand strokes are written as PDF vectors and real text, never as pictures; an added image is embedded as an image. Rewriting the original text and true redaction are not possible.
