How to create a 16-page A5 booklet...

[Boy]

Xara software doesn't have a 'Print Booklet' capability, so you have to use the 'Booklet' setting on your printer if it is available. How I do it is: set up a single page A5 document (so not: 'Double-page') and when I'm ready to print it, choose the 'Booklet' setting with A4 paper size.

If your printer doesn't have imposition capability, you could export your document as a PDF file, open it in PagePlus and take it from there.

Export as single pages in what is called "reader order." So page 1 to 16.

Open the pdf in Adobe Reader (or likely any/most pdf reader). From Adobe Reader you can print a booklet. You will need to pick the paper size from the print dialog if it is different than your default paper size. Choose the orientation if needed. Choose one of the scaling options if needed.

OK - thanks guys.
I've tried these suggestions and whilst they do work, they're incredibly tedious.
Even though Serif's PagePlus is now a legacy product and is no longer being updated, it seems far more capable than Designer Pro - a 'Pro' item that doesn't offer page imposition?
I've deleted my trial version of Designer Pro and will continue with PagePlus.
Thanks again for your input.
