Booklet Options

This page appears as part of the Advanced Print Wizard and the print Output Preset wizard.

The Booklet Options page defines how to generate booklets in the output. It is used in conjunction with Imposition settings, which will appear after the Booklet entries have been made.

This page includes a handy illustration that displays how the final binding would look, based upon the current selections.

Options:

  • Configuration: Use the drop-down to select the type of binding to use:

    • Saddle Binding: This binding places all the pages in a stack, binds the middle and folds the stack as one.
    • Perfect Binding: This binding type is often used for books. Pages are folded in the middle and then set side by side. The pages are then bound along the folded "spine".
    • 1 up Perfect Binding: This binding does not contain any folding. The pages are lined up side by side and bound along one edge.

  • Booklet Binding Edge: Use the drop-down to select the side on which to bind the booklet.

Optional Cover Page selections are available to Saddle Binding only.
