Booklet Maker vs Notedown

BookletMaker is a PDF imposition app for Mac, iPad and iPhone that turns any PDF into a print-ready, saddle-stitched booklet. Teachers, churches, zine makers and print shops use it for service programs, songbooks, class workbooks, manuals and zines. It runs entirely on your device — no account, no upload — and is localized into 34 languages on macOS 14+, iPadOS 17+ and iOS 17+. COMMON QUESTIONS How do I print a PDF as a booklet? Open the PDF, choose a preset, then print or save — page ordering, rotation and duplex flipping are automatic, including a guided mode for printers without duplex. What is PDF imposition? Arranging pages so folded sheets read in the right order. BookletMaker does saddle-stitched booklets, mini-booklets, 2-up, 4-up and custom n-up grids, with signature folding and creep compensation. Does BookletMaker upload my files? No. Every page is processed on your device; your documents never leave your Mac, iPad or iPhone. Is BookletMaker free? Yes — core booklet printing is free. BookletMaker Pro adds signature folding, creep, punch gutter and batch tools; anyone who bought the app before 2.0 keeps everything unlocked.
