How to print & fold your booklet

Five steps from PDF to a real little book on the shelf.

From PDF to a real little book.
  1. 1

    Download your booklet

    Open any finished story, tap “Download to print”, and choose Booklet. You’ll get a print-ready PDF (A4, two pages per sheet).

    Tap “Download to print” and choose Booklet.
  2. 2

    Print double-sided — flip on the LONG edge

    In your printer settings choose Two-Sided / Double-sided, flipping on the long edge. This is the most important step: the pages are arranged so the booklet only folds correctly when printed this way. (Some viewers, like macOS Preview, won’t remember this automatically — set it each time.)

    Print double-sided — flip on the LONG edge
    Double-sided → On (long edge) — not “On (Short Edge)”.
  3. 3

    Print at actual size

    Set the scale to 100% / Actual Size — not “Fit to page” — on A4 paper, so the margins and spine line up.

    Scale → 100% — not “Scale to Fit”.

    Fold and nest

    Fold each printed sheet in half. Stack them so the first sheet is on the outside and the rest nest inside it.
