How can I print a booklet in Pages 13.2 so that the pages are in the correct order? (I just need an 8-page booklet on letter-sized paper.)

I am seeing advice to select options in the Print menu that don't actually show up on my computer. Perhaps they are using an earlier version of Pages?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.6

Remember that posts on the Internet span a large timeframe and may refer to printing from Pages '09 and not the current (v13.2) pages. Not checking the date of Internet information to the current date can often result in misleading information.


The Pages User Guide for Mac offers little consolation for booklet printing advice:


Print a document or envelope in Pages on Mac - Apple Support


and the current Adobe Acrobat Reader (not the Acrobat Pro product) has a improved Booklet printing feature on its print panel when opened from the Reader toolbar, not the File menu.


You may need a more advanced PDF imposition tool to arrange your PDF document pages precisely as you want them. The $20USD Create Booklet 2 in the Mac App Store has been around for decades and may provide you with the articulation of PDF pages that saves you considerable time and aggravation. More info on the vendor's website.
