The choice of a binding method is determined by the job’s size, complexity, and 
budget. Saddle stitch binding is very cost-efficient, but is more suitable for small 
booklets than for large jobs. (A rule of thumb says that saddle stitch binding works best 
for booklets or brochures with a maximum of 88 pages.) Conversely, perfect binding is 
more expensive but more suitable for larger jobs.

DocBuilder Pro reorders imposed pages automatically according to your choice of 
binding method, which can save a significant amount of time and effort. Consider, for 
example, what must be done when a book that was to be saddle stitched exceeds the 
bindery’s maximum page count and must be reimposed as a perfect-bound book. To 
redo the imposition by traditional means would be labor-intensive; with 
DocBuilder Pro, it takes only moments.

All books and brochures use a sheet that is folded to create separate page areas. Because 
the sheet itself has some thickness, each fold causes a very small incremental shift in the 
location of the edge of each page relative to the others. The result is that the edges of 
pages furthest from the saddle’s innermost fold seem to move away from the edges of 
pages closest to the innermost fold. As the number of pages in the saddle increases, so 
does the amount of this shift, which is known as shingling. To counteract the effects of 
shingling (illustrated in an exaggerated manner below), the bindery trims the edges of 
the finished book to a common edge.

Trimming the bound pages resolves only half of the problem, however—as the edges of 
pages move, so do the content areas imaged on them. The apparent shift of content 
area caused by folding a sheet multiple times is known as creep or binder’s creep. The 
effect of creep is that the content area of pages closer to the innermost fold in a saddle 
appear to move towards the outer margins of the page.
