About
Octavo is an application that transforms the creation of booklets, brochures, mini-zines, and business cards from a page-calculation puzzle into a simple, straightforward task.You simply upload a PDF file, and Octavo automatically calculates the page order for double-sided printing, adds fold and staple marks, and prepares the sheets for printing.
If you have ever tried to print a booklet only to find yourself unsure of how to arrange the pages—or if you’ve spent time battling with printer settings and wasted half a ream of paper in the process—Octavo was designed specifically for you.The app was born out of a real-world problem faced by its developer: after upgrading a laser printer, he discovered that the new driver was missing the "booklet printing" option.
