It's for every one from casual reading to pamphlets.Ĭreate Booklet is a super easy booklet creator. It's more convenient to hold and saves paper. When you read on paper print a booklet instead of a stack of pages. It’s great for if I want to print out a book and bind it up by hand instead of regular old journals, which does not need a special program because its just lines on a page.With Create Booklet anything can be printed as a booklet. This is so when you put the printed pages in again to print on the other side, it comes out the correct way up. You may want to select “Flip Backs Upside Down (For Duplex Printers)” unless your printer has a built in print-on-both-sides feature built in. If you are not interested in having a headache in attempt to find out, just print Odd Pages first, and then turn the stack around en masse (long side) and then print Even Pages. Print Odd Pages first unless your printer has super fancy settings. Things I learned from using Booklet Creator:
There’s a trial that limits you to printing 16 pages at a time, which is good enough for if you’re testing out the software, then it is roughly $20 for a forever license (the only good kind of license, none of that month-to-month nonsense). I wound up finally finding Booklet Creator after seeing someone online giving it a try and coming off successful. I thought Affinity Serif’s Publisher would do signature printing but newp, Affinity isn’t much of a help in that department. It may work for others but it doesn’t work for me.
It was good for back then in the past (2015-ish) but now, it’s just too wonky and outdated for me. In the past, I would accomplish this with Blue Squirrel’s program called “Clickbook”. Sometimes signatures are called “sub-booklets”, which can make internet search difficult because the usual standard name is “signature”. It’s wasted paper, wasted time, wasted printer ink, everything is a waste. With all those pages stacked on top of each other, the pages can become out of order quickly when not checked. One sheet of plain printer paper can create four sides, front and back, of pages. Especially since the average book needs several signatures.
But it isn’t that straight-forward when assembling pages for signature printing. In a signature (a batch of folded pages), they have to line up and, well, look like a regular book. The part that makes things tricky is the collation of the pages. It is a pain in the neck to bind printed documents and even worse when it comes to looking up how to do it because online searches assume you mean putting a book in a professional bindery or printing it for official distribution, like a regular book. I book bind by hand, something I’ve talked about before here.
