Create Booklet with Mac Preview
Advertisements
One of the missing yet necessary utility from our Mac Preview, though we've gotten many other extra features, is the ability to print document as booklet.
Unlike normal printing option, to print a document (or maybe, eBook) as booklet the order of the page is extremely important, e.g. order of the page for printing 8-Page document should be 8-1 2-7 6-3 4-5, which will consume up most of the time in the process of ordering.
Therefore, to create booklets of our documents, we will need…
Create Booklet 1.0.1
Create Booklet, created by Christoph Vogelbusch, is the additional utility sought by many booklet fans. With this nifty utility, which is a sequence of automator actions actually, in few steps a well-arranged booklet can be printed out.
You can download it from this page: Create Booklet 1.0.1.
Integration with Mac Preview
With only one additional option, which is to create the booklet, no much further learnings are required to master this new utility. These simple steps will be more than enough to help you utilize this.
- Install Create Booklet 1.0.1
- Open your document with Preview (usually in form of PDF)
- Choose File → Print... (keystrokes Command-P)
- Located at lower left, button labelled PDF can be pressed
- From provided menu selections, choose new option Create Booklet
- In the new Preview pane opened from the finished process, pages have already been sorted to be printed as booklet
I've tried it on printing my several notes and it really works!

This is a great little find. Thank you.

To make this work on my printer, which prints single-side only, I had to print a pair of pages one by one. Because the pdf does not allow the user to print only one page, I selected two sequential pages at a time and put only one sheet of paper in the tray. Then I clicked the print button to print out one side (it doesn't matter which page prints first). After that page prints, the printer asks for more paper. So I put the printed page exactly as it came out of the printer back into the tray and pressed OK on the printer. Then the second page that was selected prints correctly on the back of the first page. And so on with the rest of the pages. Not exactly 21st century state-of-the-art, but it works.

Hello, Tx for the info. I have been using CocoaBooklet (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14804 ) for many years, but couldn't change the layout. Hope this one can do !

Just as Don, my printer only does single sided, but there's a quicker way to do this. When you print, select paper handling options. Then set pages to print to odd. Page order to normal, and print. The take the stack of paper from the printer and put it back in to print again. Just lift from the out tray to the in tray just as it comes out. The print again, this time selecting Even pages, and page order: reverse. And it should all come out no problems. It would be nice though if create booklet would produce two pdfs, so you can just print them one after the other without having to worry about messing about with the printer options.

When I follow these directions, step #5, the CreateBooklet option under the PDF menu is greyed out. Doesn't work.

Honestly, I've always been more of a fan of just putting the monitor to sleep than screen savers. Sure they look pretty awesome, but if you're sitting at your computer, are you really doing so with the screen saver on?Good luck for the dates. It has been some times since we last heard about the next tour. I hope they can run it accordingly now.62l0lBUC6NlgxEzy
