With Create Booklet anything can be printed as a booklet. When you read on paper print a booklet instead of a stack of pages. It's more convenient to hold and saves paper. It's for every one from casual reading to pamphlets. Create Booklet is a super easy booklet creator. Since 2005 Create Booklet has been the standard for Mac, it's about time we released it for iPhone and iPad! ____________________ What is a Booklet? A booklet is a double sided printing you fold so it becomes a small book. For this to work, all pages are shrunk so that two pages fit per sheet side. More over these pages are resorted so when you fold the paper, the first pages is on the front and page 2 is exactly of the backside of this page etc. Your life will become more comfortable for just the price of a single cup of nice coffee. You get a complete solution to save a lot of paper (and thus the rainforest) and comfortably read booklets — instead of having to handle stacks of papers. _____________ Built for you! Create Booklet is built to be instant and easy. Still if you are missing a feature let us know! You know we listen! _________ Features • Support for Cloud Drives: Access your PDFs right from within Create Booklet. No matter if it's on iCloud, DropBox or other solutions. • Duplex correction: We don't know why, but many printer drivers have problems with booklets. A booklet needs short-sided-binding duplex. So if your printer has trouble with that, Create Booklet has the solution: Pre-Rotated Backsides :-) • Right to left languages: If your text is right to left, your booklet needs to be that way, too – “no problemo”. • Landscape booklets: You have a landscape PDF? Create Booklet can make it into a landscape booklet. • Zoom pages: If you want to e.g. fit two US Letter pages onto one US Letter sheet, this will create a margin. Create Booklet can help you with it's page zoom to minimize margins. (Still we recommend fitting formats, DIN A or US Letter onto US Legal and vice versa.) __________________ Customers love it Here are some comment on Create Booklet for Mac. “OMG!
