Print booklet from Pages

I have Pages 8.2.1 on my iMac running Catalina. I cannot figure out how to get Page to print a booklet. All the online tips say to choose "booklet" under the PDF menu, but it's not there.

iMac 27" 5K, macOS 10.15

Provided you have a document that is n-tuple pages, on the print panel, you select Layout, and under two-sided, you will find Booklet.

I just created a custom 5.5 x 8.5 in word processing document, and populated 7 pages of it as facing pages. Nothing has changed in my Pages v8.2.1 print panel regarding the presence of Booklet as previously shown. I cannot explain why Booklet would be missing in your print panel.

Plan B. Export to PDF, and using a current Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, open the PDF. The Adobe print panel will have a Booklet category, and see if that gets the job done.

You must be frustrated beyond description when using Pages instead of InDesign.

Thanks for your response, but the word "Booklet" does not appear in my menu. I have a Pages document of 38 pages, set up as facing 5.5x8.5 pages. Nothing I select gets me what I am trying to do! I wouldn't be doing this in Pages (I usually use InDesign), but I inherited this job.
