Octavo 1.2.2 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesAnyone who has printed a booklet at home knows the pain. You fold the pages and the order is wrong, so the middle of the story lands on the cover. Octavo solves that quiet maths problem for you. It takes your PDF, arranges the pages in the order a folded booklet needs, adds fold and staple marks where they help, and exports sheets that are ready to print. It also handles small zines, brochures and other folded pieces with the same care.

FAQs
What does imposition mean?
It means placing pages on a sheet in the order they need for folding. Octavo does that ordering for you, so the folded result reads correctly.
Can I make more than booklets?
Yes. The app also covers mini zines, concertina zines, brochures, business cards and other folded or bound layouts.
Can I export instead of printing directly?
Yes. You can export an imposed PDF for printing elsewhere, or a reading order PDF for viewing on screen.
