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.
