Create a Printer Handover Sheet - Free Online Browser Tool

Produce one page listing every page size, colour mode and specification, to send with a print job.

Printers ask the same questions every time: how many pages, what sizes, what produced it, is anything rotated. Answering them from memory is how jobs come back. This generates the answers from the file itself.

This create a printer handover sheet utility runs completely inside your web browser. Your document is opened locally and processed on your own device using JavaScript and WebAssembly, so your file is never uploaded to any server.

How to Use the Create a Printer Handover Sheet Tool

Four steps, and the whole thing runs locally on your own device.

  1. Load the document

    The sheet describes whatever you loaded, so load the file you are actually sending.

  2. Add a job reference and printer

    Both are optional but they make the sheet usable as a handover document.

  3. Choose the detail level

    A line per page, or just the summary when a single sheet has to hold it all.

  4. Download the bundle

    The original file is included unchanged alongside the generated sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it change my document?

No. The spec sheet is a separate generated PDF, and your original is included in the bundle byte-for-byte as it was.

Does it warn about mixed page sizes?

Yes, explicitly. Mixed sizes are the single most common cause of a print job coming back, so the sheet calls them out rather than listing them as if normal.

What if my file has hundreds of pages?

The per-page list stops before it runs off the sheet and says it was truncated, rather than pretending the list is complete. Switch to summary only for a document that long.

Is this a proof?

No. It is a specification sheet describing the file. A proof is an actual printed representation, which is a different thing entirely.

Should I verify it?

Yes. It states what the PDF contains, which is not always what you intended — that discrepancy is often exactly what the sheet is useful for catching.
