# Workflow

## Work as you've always done!

Create Booklet allows you to keep your way of creating documents. Stick with your favorite editor (Pages, Word, OpenOffice, any software that basically deals with pages and can print). The point is to provide a document to Create Booklet, no matter which software created it.

Since a booklet has to fit two pages onto one, make sure to understand how to create a perfect input document by reading our instructions on “Why do I see margins?”

## Get your Document into Create Booklet

To build a booklet, there are two ways to input documents to Create Booklet.

### As PDF

This is very simple, open any PDF file (drag & drop works) with Create Booklet and the app will instantly create a booklet from it, ready for instant print or export.

### By direct printing into Create Booklet from your editor.

One powerful thing about Create Booklet is that you can directly print into it. For this you just need to use it as a PDF Service. Once the PDF Service is installed, simply print from your application and choose PDF Open in Create Booklet in the print panel.

## Print a Booklet

Create Booklet has a simple and efficient user interface. It allows you to manipulate your document and gives you many options for your booklet, like adding page numbers, splitting booklets into multiple thin ones and even pro-features like creep compensation.

Finally when you want to create your booklet, you can either use Export Booklet to create a PDF to print it elsewhere, or Print it on a duplex printer (make sure to select the correct duplex option). If you don't own a duplex printer, no problem! Use our manual duplex feature!
