Turn the Google Docs™ document you have open into a booklet PDF: the pages are put in saddle-stitch order, two per sheet, so you print double-sided, fold the stack in half and staple — and it reads 1, 2, 3… like a little book. Good for zines, programs, handouts, recipe books and small manuals — print booklets with any double-sided printer.

Your document stays with you. It reads only the document you have open. It does not change the document, creates nothing in Google Drive™, and sends its content nowhere. The booklet PDF is built in your browser and downloaded to your computer.

It asks only for permission to read the document you have open (not your whole Google Drive™) and to show a sidebar.

Free
• Booklets of up to 16 pages (longer documents: the first 16 pages)
• A4 paper (A5 booklet)
• Blank pages added automatically to make a multiple of 4
• Gutter (0–10 mm), page numbers, and back sides turned for printers that only flip on the long edge
• No watermark

Paid ($19, one-time)
• Any number of pages
• Paper: A4 or Letter (half-letter booklet)
• Split a long document into several booklets (8–64 pages each) that are easy to fold
• No subscription: buy once, it does not expire
• Try every paid feature free for 7 days from the first time you open the add-on. After that, the free features keep working.

The only outside service the add-on ever contacts is Gumroad, and only to check a license key: your browser sends only the license key and the product ID — nothing about you or your files.

How to use
Open a file, then choose Extensions > Pagefold for Docs™ > Make a booklet PDF. Choose the options and press "Make booklet PDF". Print the downloaded PDF double-sided ("flip on short edge", actual size), stack the sheets, fold them in half and staple the fold.

If you are signed in to more than one Google account and the sidebar does not load, open the file in a window signed in to only one account.
