Choose a template

Pages includes two categories of templates specially designed for creating EPUB books. To choose a book template:

  1. In Pages on your Mac, choose File > New.
    In the document manager in Pages on your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, or on iCloud.com, tap or click the New Document button .
  2. In the template chooser, scroll down to the Books templates.
  3. Choose the template that's best for your content:
    • For books that use mostly text, choose a Portrait template. With a Portrait template, you can choose to use reflowable text when you export to EPUB. In the exported EPUB book, text adjusts to different sizes or orientations of devices. Because of this, your book may look different from the original document when opened in Apple Books or other readers.*
    • For books that use a lot of images, or that format content in columns, choose a Landscape template. Landscape templates are exported to EPUB with fixed layouts. The layout is maintained in the exported EPUB book. The layout doesn't change depending on the size or orientation of devices.

* If you decide you want the layout of your Portrait EPUB book to match your document's layout, you can always export your Portrait template-based document as a fixed layout EPUB.

Create a book in Pages

After you've picked a template you can add text, photos, image galleries, videos, shapes, tables, charts, and your own drawings to your document. You can record audio directly on a page in your document and listen to it in your EPUB. You can also animate drawings, which will play back in your EPUB. And, to make sure your book has a table of contents, use the Table of Contents view in Pages to add one.

With a Portrait template, new pages are automatically created as you add content. Your text automatically flows from one page to another. With a Landscape template, you must manually add a new page.

You can also copy a section from one word-processing document to another, or copy a page from one page layout document to another. Learn how to copy and paste pages and sections on iPad, iPhone, or Mac.

If you want text to flow from one page to another in a Landscape template, you can use linked text boxes.

Unfortunately there is no way in the Mac OSX print dialog to automatically create a booklet. There used to be a free app called ‘Create Booklet’ but the free version broke with the release of Mojave. You can do it manually bit it is fairly complex and time consuming. This article outlines the 2 options: the easy way (paid) and the hard way (free.)

The easy way – paid.

There are plenty of Apps that will create a booklet for you.

The cheapest is a brand new app simply called ‘Booklet.’ It’s $1.49 in the Mac App store, and to me that’s abbot the right price for a booklet making app. (It’s not a complicated task.) You can purchase booklet from the App Store here. I’ve been using it for a few days and it seems to be OK.

Another option is ‘Create Booklet,‘ available for $19.95 from the Mac App Store. I have been using it for years and it is reliable and easily accessible from the print menu when you go to print a document. (There used to be a free version but it no longer works in Mojave).

Another paid option is booklet creator available for $30. It allows you to print a booklet up to 8 pages for free.

A third option is cheap imposter for $35.

Adobe Acrobat Pro (also paid) has an option to create a booklet in its print dialog.

The hard way – free!

If you are only doing this once, have plenty of time or like a challenge then you can create a booklet manually using Preview. This will give exactly the same result as the above applications. The OSX print dialog can do the hardest bit – rotating 2 pdf pages, shrinking them, and putting them together onto 1 page. But the order will be all wrong for a booklet. So all you need to do is rearrange the pages and then send it to the printer as 2 pages per sheet.

Step 1: Insert blank pages to bring the number of pages to a multiple of four.

Make A Booklet App For Mac

You need to add some blank pages to the booklet out so that it has a multiple of 4 pages. (The booklet needs to be 4 pages, 8 pages, 12 pages, 16 pages etc.) You can do this in Preview with the ‘Insert – Blank Page’ (Found in the Edit menu.)

Step 2: Manually rearrange the pages of the pdf file into the right order for a booklet.

You need to rearrange the pages to be in the right order to make a booklet. This is the order you need:

4 pages: 4,1,2,3.

8 pages: 8,1,2,7,6,3,4,5.

16 pages: 16,1,2,15,14,3,4,13,12,5,6,11,10,7,8,9.

Can you see the pattern?

The pattern is Last, first x2, last x2, first x2 , last x2 etc.

In practice the way to do this is: Grab the Last page then delete it, grab the First page then delete it, grab the new first page then delete it, grab the last Page x2 etc until all the pages are gone.

I find the easiest way to do this is as follows:

  1. Open the pdf in preview.
  2. View thumbnails.
  3. Drag Last page of this pdf to desktop to make a new document. Delete last page from original document.
  4. Open new document in Preview and view thumbnails.
  5. Drag first page of original document into end of new document. Delete it from original.
  6. Drag new first page from original into new document. Delete it.
  7. Drag last page of original. Delete it.
  8. Drag last page of original. Delete it.
  9. Drag first page. etc till no pages left.

You can now select ‘Save to pdf’ to make a new pdf file of the booklet, or you can print the booklet directly to your printer.

Step 3: Shrink, rotate & combine the pages into a booklet.

This sounds complicated but OS X can foo it automatically. Yes – OS X can do the most complicated part it just can’t do the simple part of rearranging the pages!

To combine the pages into a booklet go to ‘Print’ the document and then select these 3 options under ‘Layout’:

  • ‘2 Pages per sheet’
  • ‘Two-Sided’
  • ‘Short-Edge binding’

If you have selected all three options you can either ‘Print’ directly to the printer, or a safer option is to select ‘Save to pdf, save it as a new pdf booklet, then print this booklet using preview.
