I absolutely love the new V5b! Only issue I have is a minor issue I've had since the first version; in order to get it to print properly in booklet format on letter size pages is to print it at 120% zoom because for some reason Adobe Acrobat Reader keeps wanting to size the booklet format with massive margins by default. Printing in full letter size doesn't seem to have these massive margins, only booklet format.

Thank you! Yeah this has been really weird, I've noticed this issue on Mac as well.
I've created this in Affinity Publisher and have seen these margin issues both printing through Affinity and using Mac's print dialogue, too. I even tried to save as a PDF in the print, then zooming in on that. It's bizarre. I'll continue to look into this!
I think I understand the issue here, but it isn't a simple fix. The basic issue is that each page of the document is 4.25 inches wide by 5.5 inches high. This page size is 1/4 a sheet of letter paper, not half. This size would be ideal if the paper was folded into fourths, but the booklet printing folds it into halves.
As a result, when acrobat rotates the pages to make them a booklet, the program resizes each page to keep it proportionate. to accomplish this, and leave a gutter to fold, means that the final size doesn't fill the half page, leaving a large margin.
The cleanest way to fix this would be for each page to be 5.5 wide by 8.5 high, but that's not the proportions of the existing pages, so that would require remaking the entire document in the new size.
