Booklet Creator - Free Online Tool

BookletCreator is a free online tool that allows you to create a booklet from a PDF document. It reorders pages so that after printing and folding the pages, a small book is created.



The original document should be in PDF format with "portrait" paper orientation. If you have a document in a format other than PDF, you should first convert it to a PDF. To do this, you can use a free PDF creation tool. I have seen PrimoPDF recommended, which has a desktop and online version of their tool. Also note, since I am a fan of Open Source, that my OpenSource 3.1 will open PDF's allow one to edit and then save as either a PDF, RTF, Word, and much more. It's free to download OpenSource 3.1


Note that BookletCreator cannot work with password-protected PDFs. If your file is protected (and you have the password), you should remove protection in the PDF security settings before uploading it to BookletCreator. If you don't have the password but security settings allow you to print the document, then you can try printing it with PrimoPDF virtual printer. You will get another PDF document and it will be password-free. This document will look like a set of pictures, rather than text, but BookletCreator will be able to read it and create a booklet version for you.


This might seem a bit complicated but I think it would work well with grades 4 and higher. I can see this as part of a center or a step within a project to be completed.
