Turn any PDF into a print-ready booklet — free. Saddle-stitched signatures, 2-up and 4-up imposition, cleanup tools, page numbers, watermarks, OCR, and an inline editor — all on-device, in 34 languages, on Mac, iPad, iPhone, Windows and Android — or right in your browser with the free web tool.
A few moments from BookletMaker on Mac, iPad, iPhone, Windows, and Android.
Saddle-stitched booklet, mini-booklet, 2-up, 4-up, custom n-up — and the controls that matter for the cut.
Configurable signature size from a single booklet to 32-page signatures, with creep compensation that pulls inner pages out by a configurable amount per sheet.
Standard layouts plus any custom n-up grid. Choose paper, orientation, direction, scale, cell borders, crop marks — BookletMaker handles ordering and rotation.
Tap a paragraph to edit text directly in the PDF — original font, size, and color preserved. Surrounding content reflows so longer edits push down.
Search across the entire document and replace every match with proper font matching. Whited-out and overlaid using the original glyphs.
Highlight, redact, sticky notes, ink, signature stamps, image insertion — all with cross-platform commit pipelines.
Run on-device OCR over scanned PDFs to make them searchable. Save the recognized text as a plain-text file.
Crop margins, remove blank pages, split landscape spreads into portrait halves, rasterize corrupted source PDFs, choose which page-boundary box (media / crop / trim) to use.
Position (top, bottom, inner, outer), font size, color, format token ({n} or {n} of {total}), starting offset, and skip-first behavior for cover pages.
Leave the right margin for 2-, 3-, 4-, or 6-hole binders with visual guides.
Text watermark with adjustable opacity. Use any 1-page PDF as a letterhead applied to all pages, first page, odd, or even.
Batch-impose dozens of PDFs in one run. Drop the output to a folder of your choice, every file imposed with the current preset.
Save imposed PDF, flatten annotations, export with a password, export each page as PNG / JPEG / TIFF, copy as PDF, or print directly via AirPrint.
BookletMaker is a PDF imposition app that turns any PDF into a print-ready booklet. It runs on Mac, iPad, iPhone, Windows and Android, or free in your browser, and your documents stay on your device.
Saddle-stitched booklet imposition reorders pages so they read correctly when the printed sheets are folded in half. Print duplex, or turn on Manual duplex — BookletMaker will print the fronts, prompt you to flip and reload the stack, then print the backs.
Yes. The entire app — imposition, OCR, find and replace, annotations, export, AirPrint — works fully offline. Your documents and their file names never leave your device unless you share them. The app only goes online for purchases and restoring them, anonymous usage statistics you can switch off in Settings, the small public seasonal-content file, and the public template catalog and template files. Those last two are plain fetches that send nothing about you or your documents.
No. All processing happens on your device. The app has no accounts and no cloud upload of PDF content, and it never collects the contents or file names of your documents.
Creep is the small outward shift of inner pages when paper is folded into a booklet. Increase Creep (in points per sheet) in Layout details; BookletMaker pulls inner pages in by that amount per sheet so the trim cut stays straight.
Yes. Standard 2-up and 4-up plus any custom n-up grid. You control paper size, orientation, scale, cell borders, and crop marks. The app handles page ordering and rotation.
