<title>Print a booklet</title>

<p>You can print a booklet from a PDF.  If you want to print a booklet from a
 <app>LibreOffice</app> document, you will need to export it to PDF first. Your
 document needs to have a multiple of 4 number of pages (4, 8, 12, 16,...).</p>

<p>If your <app>LibreOffice</app> document does not have a multiple of 4 pages,
 add the required number of blank pages at the end of the document before
 exporting to PDF.</p>
 <p>If the number of pages in your PDF document is not a multiple of 4, you
 should add the appropriate number of blank pages (1,2 or 3) to make it a
 multiple of 4. To do so, you can:</p>

 <steps>
  <item>
   <p>Create a <app>LibreOffice</app> document with the number (1-3) of blank
   pages needed.</p>
  </item>
  <item>
   <p>Export the blank pages to a PDF.</p>
  </item>
  <item>
   <p>Merge the blank pages with your PDF document using <app>PDF-Shuffler</app>,
   placing the blank pages at the end.</p>
  </item>
 </steps>

<p>Select the type of printer you will be using for printing from the list
