Text boxes and images may need moving and possibly also resizing to fit the page before you print the document as a booklet. This is a known limitation with the booklet (book fold) option in Word.
Word Doc Formatting with PDFs
Hi,
I am formatting a booklet/chapbook in Microsoft word (using the standard booklet template found in Word), and noticed that when exporting the file (as a .doc) when emailing and exporting the doc into a pdf, the format changes quite significantly. The page count increases, and design elements in the document change drastically. I know that exporting to a pdf is not in Microsoft Word's nature and tends to change the format, but I don't know why the document style is changing when I simply email it in the original form. Please help! Images attached: first image is document when sent via email, second image is original doc format in desktop Word
