While there are templates available for several n page booklets, using them requires a separate template for each size (in pages) booklet you'll want to make.


A better method is to use some form of imposition software for mac that will do the imposing (placing each page on the correct sheet) using a copy of your content, printed to a PDF document. The link is to a Google search using that phrase as the search term.


For a more detailed discussion of imposition and some of the available software, see Peter Breis's post "imposing booklets" at the iWork Tips & Tricks site. (Scroll down)

I did this, probably the longest way possible, howver it worked well. I sized my page in Inspector, then kept adding pages. In each page i placed a 'text box', then created each page's content. I linked the pages in order of their flow, using the little link tabs on each text box. Used a view that allowed me to see all the pages on the left of the current page i was working on - could also move/reorder the pages in this side view. Advise not linking until content is complete, especially if you do an reordering. As I said - probably a round-about way of making a 5x7 booklet - when I could not find a template that worked, I went to the Apple store in a 1to1 session and this was the solution they provided. Hope this helps.
