Use case

If you need to print more than 48 pages, you can prepare and order multiple booklets.

Example with a 72 pages newspaper:

You can plan to print two 36 pages booklets (or 32 and 40, 28 and 44 etc.)

Two options are available:

1. Keep the two booklets separate, like the Sport, TV or Economics supplements that you will find in the newspapers sold on newsstands. You just have to build your PDFs as two distinct newspapers.

2. Group two booklets into a single newspaper: you need to build an enclosing section and an inside section.

- The enclosing section contains the beginning and the end of your newspaper: pages 1 to 18 and 55 to 72.

- The inside section contains the middle of your newspaper: pages 19 to 54.

Then, you'll be able to gather the two sections. The inside section completes the enclosing section at its centrefold.

It's possible to print multiple double-page spreads in the same newspaper.

Here's an example:

For example, you can print a 12-page newspaper and pull apart into 6 spreads on 3 different sheets of paper.

Here is the detail of a 12-page newspaper:
Sheet #1 - Front side: Pages 12 and 1 (page 12 to the left, page 1 to the right)
Sheet #1 - Back side: Pages 2 and 11
Sheet #2 - Front side: Pages 10 and 3
Sheet #2 - Back side: Pages 4 and 9
Sheet #3 - Front side: Pages 8 and 5
Sheet #3 - Back side: Pages 6 and 7

To make sure the posters are clean, ensure that the inner edges of each page have no central margin or gutter and that they come together, while maintaining a margin on the outer edges of the spread.
