How to Print a Booklet on Letter‑Size Paper

 Format Your Document

  • Set your document size to Statement (5.5" × 8.5").
    • This ensures each page will fit neatly into a booklet format when printed.
  • Use portrait orientation.

 Set Up Your Pages

  • Your total page count should be a multiple of 4 (e.g., 8, 12, 16).
    • This is required because each sheet folds into 4 booklet pages.
  • If needed, add blank pages at the end to meet this requirement.
