Create Booklet
Create Booklet is a macOS utility that integrates with the native Print dialog to help users format and print documents as professional booklets. It automatically arranges pages in the correct order for saddle-stitch or perfect binding, handles duplex printing on both compatible and incompatible printers, and optimises layout for booklet dimensions and paper size. The app is widely used by independent publishers, small business owners, educators, and anyone creating printed promotional materials, brochures, self-published books or magazines from word processors like Pages or Microsoft Word. It has been the standard booklet-formatting tool for Mac users for over a decade.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe search results mention Create Booklet 2 as a recent release with enhanced features and improved interface, suggesting the developer is still actively maintaining the application. However, we found no explicit information in the available search results about whether a native Apple Silicon build exists. Given that the app is actively maintained and integrates with macOS system printing, contact the developer directly to confirm native Apple Silicon support. If a native build is not yet available, ask when one is planned — you have until September 2028 when Apple removes Rosetta 2 from macOS 28, but the sooner you know the status, the sooner you can plan. In the meantime, the Intel build continues to work under Rosetta 2 on M-series Macs, though with reduced performance and battery efficiency. If the developer confirms no native build is planned, consider alternatives like Swift Publisher (a full design app with booklet templates) or continuing to use Pages or Word's built-in print options, though Create Booklet's integration makes it more convenient for this specific task.
