# Can Cleardox automatically prepare for book layout if I need to print in double-sided format?

## Preparing legal binders for physical printing in court often requires double-sided book layout, which traditionally involves tedious manual adjustments such as aligning page numbers and ensuring appendices start on the correct page

In Cleardox, selecting the book layout option handles:

- Automatic insertion of blank pages to ensure all appendices start on odd pages (right-hand side).
- Automatic alignment of page numbers and margins for double-sided printing (left-right).
- Option to download a digital version where margins are right-aligned, matching the book layout edition in page numbering.
