<p>You can make folded booklets (like a small book or pamphlet) by printing
pages of a document in a special order and changing a couple of printing

first export it to a PDF by choosing <guiseq><gui>File</gui><gui>Export

number of pages (4, 8, 12, 16,...). You may need to add up to 3 blank
pages.</p>
