Print a booklet

  1. Choose File > Print and select the printer.
  2. Under Page Handling, choose Booklet Printing from the Page Scaling menu.
  3. In the Print Range area, specify which pages to print:
    • To print pages from front to back, select All.

    • To divide a large booklet into smaller groupings, select Pages and specify a page range for the first grouping. Print each page range separately.

    • To print certain pages on a different paper or paper stock, specify those pages using the Sheets From/To option. Click the Properties button and select the correct paper tray and any other options as necessary.

  4. Choose additional page handling options. The Preview image changes as you specify options.
    Booklet Subset
    Determines which sides of the paper print. Choose Both Sides to automatically print both sides of the paper (your printer must support automatic duplex printing). Choose Front Side Only to print all pages that appear on the front side of the paper. After these pages print, flip them, choose File > Print again, and choose Back Side Only. Depending on the printer model, you might have to turn and reorder the pages to print the back sides.
    To prevent others in a shared printing environment from printing on your pages before you print the back side, consider printing the back side pages using a different paper tray.

    Auto-Rotate Pages
    Automatically rotates each page for the best fit in the printable area.

    Sheets From
    Specifies the first and last sheet to print. Acrobat determines which sheets must print to accommodate the print job. For example, if you have a 16-page document, then sheets 1 through 4 print.

    Binding
    Determines the orientation for the binding. Choose Left for text read left-to-right; choose Left (Tall) for paper folded on the long side, where the printable area is long and narrow. Choose Right for text read right-to-left or for Asian-style vertical reading; choose Right (Tall) for paper folded on the long side.

    Compare Right binding with Right (Tall).
