Question

How many pages does a booklet need, and which pages count as the cover?

Answer

A booklet needs a minimum of 8 pages, and the cover is included in that count. Of those 8, four make up the cover set, meaning the front cover, back cover, and their inside faces, while the remaining pages are interior content.

  • Minimum: 8 pages total.
  • Cover set: front cover, inside front, inside back, and back cover.
  • Interior: the remaining pages after the cover.
  • Page counts are built in multiples of 4.

If you submit separate files for the cover and interior, make sure they add up to the required total so nothing is missing at production.
