这款工具的作用
A booklet is not simply two pages per sheet. Once a stack of paper is folded in half, the page order stops being sequential: the outermost sheet has to carry the last page next to the first. This tool works out that arrangement and writes it into a new document.
Use it for anything meant to be folded and stapled down the middle: a programme, a zine, a manual, an order of service, a short report you want to hand out as a small book rather than a stack of loose sheets.
工作原理
- Drop the PDF onto this page.
- Leave the binding on saddle stitch unless you are having the spine glued.
- Set the gutter, which is the extra space at the fold that the binding takes up.
- Press Make booklet.
- Print the result double-sided, flipping on the short edge, then fold the stack in half and staple the spine.
Saddle stitch is the fold-and-staple binding, and it needs a page count that is a multiple of four. If yours is not, the tool pads with blanks in the right places automatically, which is why the output may have up to three more pages than you expected. Those blanks land where a reader expects blanks - at the inside back - rather than in the middle of the text.
The gutter is the setting people wish they had thought about afterwards. It adds space at the fold so the binding does not swallow the inner edge of the text. Fourteen points is a reasonable default for a stapled booklet; increase it for thicker stacks, where the inner pages creep outward as the fold gets bulkier.
Print double-sided, flipping on the short edge. Flipping on the long edge puts every second sheet upside down, and it is by far the most common reason a booklet comes out wrong on the first attempt. Test with four pages before printing fifty.
Perfect binding is offered for spines that are glued rather than folded. It keeps pages in reading order two to a sheet, because glued spines do not need the folding rearrangement.
这款工具做不到的事
- Links and form fields do not survive, because each page is drawn as artwork onto the new sheet.
- Very thick booklets need creep compensation, which this tool does not calculate - increase the gutter by hand instead.
常见问题
- 我该怎样打印结果？
- 双面打印，沿短边翻转，按 100% 比例，不要额外的适应页面缩小。然后把整叠纸一起对折，沿折线钉两下。如果每隔一张纸就上下颠倒，说明你的打印机沿长边翻转了——改这个设置再重印。
- 我的文档不是四的倍数页，会怎样？
- 会自动添加空白页把它补到下一个四的倍数，并把它们放在读者预期出现空白的地方，而不是内容中间。你的原件不会被修改。
- 订口是做什么用的？
- 它在折线处预留空间，使装订不会遮住正文的内侧边缘。册子越厚需要越多，因为随着折叠的纸叠变厚，内侧纸张会向外偏移。
- 我什么时候该选无线胶订？
- 当书脊将被胶粘或夹住而不是折叠时，比如较厚的书。无线胶订让页面按普通阅读顺序每张两页排列，因为没有折叠需要提前规划。
