Tri-fold Brochures Layout

The Tri-fold and Tri-flip layouts produce single-page flyers or leaflets that you fold twice to make three panels. The front panel is page 1, and the reader opens up the brochure to see pages 2, 3, and 4 inside, and then turns the sheet over to read pages 5 and 6.

The difference between these layouts is in how you turn the brochure to read it (the "binding orientation"). To read a Tri-fold brochure, you orient it as tall and narrow, and open it up with the panels arranged side by side. To read a Tri-flip brochure, you orient it to be wide with few lines of text, and open it up with the panels one above another.

About No Scaling

The brochure layouts have the No scaling setting on. This means that ClickBook does not reduce the document's pages. Text and graphics are printed at the same size they're set to in your application program. Why? As you can see in the pictures above, a brochure has tall, very narrow (or wide, very short) mini-pages. Scaling a normal page size down to this shape would distort your fonts and graphics. So instead, you set up the page in your application program exactly as you want it to print, including matching the mini-page size. Then ClickBook prints the pages in the necessary order but without shrinking them.

Creating a brochure

Different application programs require different methods of matching the mini-page size.
