To create a two-sided document with a binding, see Bound two-sided documents.

Bound two-sided documents

If you want to bind printed pages into a book, you can adjust the print settings to accommodate the binding.

Bound two-sided documents can have a book binding (binding on the side) or a tablet binding (binding at the top). Book binding is the most common type of binding.
