Printing a chapbook

Rhema's own 5×8 booklet PDF: sequence the poems, check the marks, and send it to any print shop.

Sequence first

In the outline view, drag the cards into the order of the book. The sequence you see is the sequence that prints.

The booklet

Right-click the collection → Export → Chapbook PDF (5×8)…. Rhema sets a 5×8 inch booklet: title page, the poems in order with their line breaks intact, each poem’s drawing and QR where you gave it one, ready for any print shop that does saddle-stitched booklets — the classic chapbook.

A poem mark in the light theme

What carries through

  • Stanza breaks and indents, exactly as typed
  • The poem’s status dots stay on screen only — never in print
  • Poem drawing… and Poem QR… settings apply per poem

Print a proof copy before the run: the PDF opens in any viewer, and the page count is what the shop will ask you for.

Next: settings & snapshots — the safety net under everything.
