Why are there blank pages?
Each folded sheet has four reading pages. The final signature is padded to the next multiple of four.
Which duplex setting should I choose?
Use short-edge duplex for the landscape imposed PDF, but check one sheet because printer feed and drivers differ.
Can I bind on the right?
Yes. The left and right positions on every sheet side swap while source reading order remains unchanged.
Are fonts rasterized?
The source PDF page is embedded as vector content; existing raster images remain raster images. Comments and interactive forms are not copied.
Can I use a manual duplex printer?
Yes. Print odd output pages first and even output pages on the reverse. Test feed orientation and even-page order with one sheet before a full signature.
