The /BindDetails dictionary contains additional parameters that specify exactly what the binding should look like. For right edge binding and bottom edge binding all sheets are rotated 180 degrees.
Binding is done with a cover sheet. The cover sheet must be more than twice as large as the other document pages. The cover sheet is folded and glued around the other pages and optionally trimmed. Trimming is specified by the Trim parameter (see Trim).
