Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “RRD”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2017. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Spinoff Transactions On October 1, 2016, the Company completed the separation of its financial communications and data services business (“Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc.” or “Donnelley Financial”) and the publishing and retail-centric print services and office products business (“LSC Communications, Inc.” or “LSC”) into two separate publicly-traded companies (the "Separation"). The Company completed the tax-free distribution of 80.75% of the outstanding common stock of each Donnelley Financial and LSC to the Company’s stockholders of record on September 23, 2016 who received one share of each Donnelley Financial and LSC for every eight shares of RRD common stock owned as of the record date (the “Distribution”). The Company retained 19.25% of the outstanding common stock of each Donnelley Financial and LSC. The historical financial results of Donnelley Financial and LSC prior to the Separation, are presented as discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Sales from RRD to Donnelley Financial and LSC previously eliminated in consolidation have been recast and are now shown as external sales within the financial results of continuing operations. These net sales were $41.6 million for three months ended March 31, 2016. Unless indicated otherwise, the information in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relates to the Company's continuing operations. Prior periods have been recast to reflect the Company's current segment reporting structure. See Note 2, Discontinued Operations , for more information on the Separation. Reverse Stock Split Immediately following the Distribution on October 1, 2016, the Company effected a one-for-three reverse stock split for RRD common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on September 14, 2016 and previously approved by the Company’s stockholders at the annual meeting on May 19, 2016. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of issued and outstanding and treasury shares of the Company’s common stock were reduced proportionally based on the Reverse Stock Split ratio of one share for every three shares of common stock held before the Reverse Stock Split . All references in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements to the number of shares of common stock and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

Discontinued Operations	2. Discontinued Operations Immediately following the Distribution, the Company held approximately 6.2 million shares of Donnelley Financial Solutions common stock and approximately 6.2 million shares of LSC common stock. The Company accounts for these investments as available-for-sale equity securities. In March 2017, the Company sold the 6.2 million shares of LSC common stock it retained upon spinoff for net proceeds of $121.4 million, resulting in a realized loss of $51.6 million, which was recorded within investment and other expense (income)-net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The value of the Company’s investment in Donnelley Financial was $120.4 million as of March 31, 2017. The following details the financial results of discontinued operations: For the three months ended March 31, 2016 Net sales $ 1,047.4 Cost of sales 810.6 Operating expenses (a) 161.1 Interest and other expense (income), net (b) 17.9 Earnings before income taxes 57.8 Income tax expense 21.6 Net earnings from discontinued operations $ 36.2 (a) Includes spinoff transaction costs incurred of $11.9 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2016. (b) Includes the related interest expense of the corporate level debt, which was retired in connection with the Separation totaling $18.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

The charges for these services are intended to allow the companies, as applicable, to recover the direct and indirect costs incurred in providing such services. The Transition Services Agreement generally provides for a term of services starting at the Separation date and continuing for a period of up to twenty-four months following the Separation. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recognized $2.8 million as a reduction of costs within selling, general and administrative expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations from the Transition Services Agreement. The Company also entered into various commercial agreements which govern sales transactions between the companies.

These charges primarily relate to ceasing the Company’s relationship in a joint venture within the International segment, the reorganization of selling and general and administrative functions primarily within the Corporate and Variable Print segments and one facility closure in the Strategic Services segment. The Company also recorded impairment charges of $0.5 million related to equipment associated with a facility closure in the Strategic Services segment. Additionally, the Company incurred lease termination and other restructuring charges of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. For the first quarter of 2016, the Company recorded net restructuring charges of $4.9 million for employee termination costs. These charges primarily related to two facility closures in the International segment and the reorganization of certain operations. Additionally, the Company incurred lease termination and other restructuring charges of $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2016. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company also recorded $1.6 million of net gains on the sale of previously impaired assets, partially offset by impairment charges related to buildings and machinery and equipment associated with facility closures. Other Charges For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded other charges of $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for multi-employer withdrawal pension plan obligations unrelated to facility closures. The total liabilities for the withdrawal obligations associated with the Company’s decision to withdraw from multi-employer pension plans included in accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities are $4.9 million and $34.1 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2017 . The Company’s multi-employer pension plan withdrawal liabilities could be affected by the financial stability of other employers participating in the plans and any decisions by those employers to withdraw from the plans in the future. While it is not possible to quantify the potential impact of future events or circumstances, reductions in other employers’ participation in multi-employer pension plans, including certain plans from which the Company has previously withdrawn, could have a material impact on the Company’s previously estimated withdrawal liabilities, consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Restructuring Reserve The restructuring reserve as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2017, were as follows: Foreign December 31, Restructuring Exchange and Cash March 31, 2016 Charges Other Paid 2017 Employee terminations $ 7.6 $ 6.4 $ 0.1 $ (4.2 ) $ 9.9 Multi-employer pension withdrawal obligations 11.8 0.2 — (0.4 ) 11.6 Lease terminations and other 1.6 1.4 1.0 (0.5 ) 3.5 Total $ 21.0 $ 8.0 $ 1.1 $ (5.1 ) $ 25.0 The current portion of restructuring reserves of $10.0 million at March 31, 2017 was included in accrued liabilities, while the long-term portion of $15.0 million, primarily related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations related to facility closures and lease termination costs, was included in other noncurrent liabilities at March 31, 2017. The Company anticipates that payments associated with the employee terminations reflected in the above table will be substantially completed by March 2018. Payments on all of the Company’s multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations are scheduled to be completed by 2036. Changes based on uncertainties in these estimated withdrawal obligations could affect the ultimate charges related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawals. The restructuring liabilities classified as “lease terminations and other” consisted of lease terminations, other facility closing costs and contract termination costs. Payments on certain of the lease obligations are scheduled to continue until 2018. Market conditions and the Company’s ability to sublease these properties could affect the ultimate charges related to the lease obligations. Any potential recoveries or additional charges could affect amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings per Share	11. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to RRD common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In computing diluted earnings per share, basic earnings per share is adjusted for the assumed issuance of all potentially dilutive share-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock units and performance share units. Performance share units are considered anti-dilutive and excluded if the performance targets upon which the issuance of the shares is contingent have not been achieved and the respective performance period has not been completed as of the end of the current period. Additionally, stock options are considered anti-dilutive when the exercise price exceeds the average of the Company’s stock price during the applicable period. In periods when the Company is in a net loss from continuing operations, share-based awards are excluded from the calculation of earnings per share as their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, no shares of common stock were purchased by the Company; however, shares were withheld for tax liabilities upon the vesting of equity awards. The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation and the anti-dilutive share-based awards for three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Basic net (loss) earnings per share attributable to RRD common stockholders: Continuing operations $ (0.71 ) $ 0.05 Discontinued operations — 0.52 Net (loss) earnings attributable to RRD stockholders (0.71 ) 0.57 Diluted net (loss) earnings per share attributable to RRD common stockholders: Continuing operations (0.71 ) 0.05 Discontinued operations — 0.52 Net (loss) earnings attributable to RRD stockholders (0.71 ) 0.57 Numerator Net loss attributable to RRD common stockholders - continuing operations (50.1 ) 3.6 Net earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes — 36.2 Net (loss) earnings attributable to RRD common stockholders (50.1 ) 39.8 Denominator: Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 70.1 69.9 Dilutive options and awards — 0.4 Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding 70.1 70.3 Weighted average number of anti-dilutive share-based awards: Stock options 1.3 0.7 Performance share units 0.1 0.2 Restricted stock units 0.5 — Total 1.9 0.9 Dividends declared per common share 0.14 0.78

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	14. Commitments and Contingencies The Company is subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. The Company provides for expenses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such amounts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are adjusted as new information develops or circumstances change and are generally not discounted. The Company has been designated as a potentially responsible party or has received claims in two active federal and state Superfund and other multiparty remediation sites. In addition to these sites, the Company may also have the obligation to remediate seven other previously and currently owned facilities. At the Superfund sites, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act provides that the Company’s liability could be joint and several, meaning that the Company could be required to pay an amount in excess of its proportionate share of the remediation costs. The Company’s understanding of the financial strength of other potentially responsible parties at the multiparty sites and of other liable parties at the previously owned facilities has been considered, where appropriate, in the determination of the Company’s estimated liability. The Company established reserves, recorded in accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities, that it believes are adequate to cover its share of the potential costs of remediation at each of the multiparty sites and the previously and currently owned facilities. It is not possible to quantify with certainty the potential impact of actions regarding environmental matters, particularly remediation and other compliance efforts that the Company may undertake in the future. However, in the opinion of management, compliance with the present environmental protection laws, before taking into account estimated recoveries from third parties, will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. From time to time, the Company’s customers and others file voluntary petitions for reorganization under United States bankruptcy laws. In such cases, certain pre-petition payments received by the Company from these parties could be considered preference items and subject to return. In addition, the Company may be party to certain litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the final resolution of these preference items and litigation will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	15. Debt The Company’s debt at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 consisted of the following: March 31, December 31, 2017 2016 Borrowings under the Credit Agreement $ 40.0 $ 185.0 11.25% senior notes due February 1, 2019 (a) 172.2 172.2 7.625% senior notes due June 15, 2020 350.0 350.0 7.875% senior notes due March 15, 2021 448.9 448.8 8.875% debentures due April 15, 2021 80.9 80.9 7.00% senior notes due February 15, 2022 140.0 140.0 6.50% senior notes due November 15, 2023 350.0 350.0 6.00% senior notes due April 1, 2024 400.0 400.0 6.625% debentures due April 15, 2029 199.5 199.5 8.820% debentures due April 15, 2031 69.0 69.0 Other (b) 12.6 8.5 Unamortized debt issuance costs (15.8 ) (16.5 ) Total debt 2,247.3 2,387.4 Less: current portion (12.4 ) (8.2 ) Long-term debt $ 2,234.9 $ 2,379.2 (a) As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the interest rate on the 11.25% senior notes due February 1, 2019 was 13.25%, the maximum rate on these notes, as a result of ratings downgrades. (b) Includes miscellaneous debt obligations and capital leases. The fair values of the senior notes and debentures, which were determined using the market approach based upon interest rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar terms and maturities, were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s debt was greater than its book value by approximately $35.5 million and $4.3 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company’s $800.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) contains a number of restrictive covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio, as defined in and calculated pursuant to the Credit Agreement , that, in part, restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, engage in mergers and consolidations, make restricted payments and dispose of certain assets. The Credit Agreement generally allows annual dividend payments of up to $60.0 million in aggregate, though additional dividends may be permitted subject to certain conditions. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Agreement was 3.5% during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The weighted average interest rate on the borrowing under the prior credit agreement was 2.3% during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Interest income was $0.9 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

Income Taxes	16. Income Taxes The Company’s effective income tax rate was (0.4%) and 46.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 reflects the impact of the $51.6 million realized loss on the sale of the LSC retained shares. The sale generated a capital loss which will be carried forward, however it is more likely than not that the benefit of such deferred tax asset will not be realized and a full valuation allowance was recorded.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives	17. Derivatives All derivatives are recorded as other current or noncurrent assets or other current or noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their respective fair values. Unrealized gains and losses related to derivatives are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes, or in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, depending on the purpose for which the derivative is held. For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss related to the derivatives are generally recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) until the transaction affects earnings. For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not meet the criteria for designation as a hedge at inception, or fail to meet the criteria thereafter, are recognized currently in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. At the inception of a hedge transaction, the Company formally documents the hedge relationship and the risk management objective for undertaking the hedge. In addition, the Company assesses both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative in the hedging transaction has been highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item and whether the derivative is expected to continue to be highly effective. The impact of any ineffectiveness is also recognized currently in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company is exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations in certain countries in which it operates. The exposure to foreign currency movements is limited in many countries because the operating revenues and expenses of its various subsidiaries and business units are substantially in the local currency of the country in which they operate. To the extent borrowings, sales, purchases, revenues, expenses or other transactions are not in the local currency of the subsidiary or operating unit, the Company is exposed to currency risk. Periodically, the Company uses foreign exchange spot and forward contracts to hedge exposures resulting from foreign exchange fluctuations. Accordingly, the gains and losses associated with the fair values of foreign currency exchange contracts are recognized currently in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and are generally offset by gains and losses on underlying payables, receivables and net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The aggregate notional value of the forward contracts at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $102.3 million and $172.2 million, respectively. The fair values of foreign exchange forward contracts were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy and are valued using market exchange rates. On March 13, 2012, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure, effectively changing the interest rate on $400.0 million of its fixed-rate senior notes to a floating-rate based on LIBOR plus a basis point spread. The interest rate swaps, with a notional value of $400.0 million at inception, were designated as fair value hedges against changes in the value of the Company’s $450.0 million 8.25% senior notes due March 15, 2019, which were attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. During 2014, the Company repurchased $211.1 million of the 8.25% senior notes due March 15, 2019, and related interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $210.0 million were terminated, resulting in payments of $4.2 million for the fair value of the interest rate swaps. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, in connection with the tender of the Company’s 8.25% senior notes due March 15, 2019, the Company terminated the remaining $190.0 million notional value of the interest rate swap agreements which resulted in cash received of $2.5 million for the fair value of the interest rate swaps. The fair values of interest rate swaps were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy and were developed using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on the expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit enhancements to the contracts, are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the credit value adjustments of the interest rate swap agreements, which take into account the possibility of counterparty and the Company’s own default. The Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps are subject to enforceable master netting agreements that allow the Company to settle positive and negative positions with the respective counterparties. The Company settles foreign exchange forward contracts on a net basis when possible. Foreign exchange forward contracts that can be settled on a net basis are presented net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest rate swaps were settled on a gross basis and presented gross in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company manages credit risk for its derivative positions on a counterparty-by-counterparty basis, considering the net portfolio exposure with each counterparty, consistent with its risk management strategy for such transactions. The Company’s agreements with each of its counterparties contain a provision where the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if it either defaults or, in certain cases, is capable of being declared in default of any of its indebtedness greater than specified thresholds. These agreements also contain a provision where the Company could be declared in default subsequent to a merger or restructuring type event if the creditworthiness of the resulting entity is materially weaker. At March 31, 2017 March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Derivatives not designated as hedges Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 0.2 $ 1.7 Accrued liabilities 0.4 1.5 The pre-tax (gains) losses related to derivatives not designated as hedges recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were as follows: Three Months Ended Classification of Loss Recognized in the March 31, Condensed 2017 2016 Derivatives not designated as hedges Foreign exchange forward contracts Selling, $ 1.6 $ 5.2 For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, the pre-tax (gains) losses related to the hedged items attributable to changes in the hedged benchmark interest rate and the offsetting (gain) loss on the related interest rate swaps for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were as follows: Three Months Ended Classification of (Gain) Loss Recognized in the March 31, Condensed 2017 2016 Fair Value Hedges Interest rate swaps Investment and other expense (income)-net $ — $ (2.6 ) Hedged items Investment and other expense (income)-net — 2.8 Total ineffectiveness recognized Investment and other expense (income)-net $ — $ 0.2 The Company also recognized a net reduction to interest expense of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 related to the Company’s fair value hedges, which included interest accruals on the derivatives and amortization of the basis in the hedged items.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	19. New Accounting Pronouncements In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-07 “Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost,” which changes the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost (net benefit cost) within the Statement of Operations. Under the current guidance, net benefit cost is reported as an employee cost within operating income. The amendment requires the bifurcation of net benefit cost, with the service cost component to be presented with other employee compensation costs in operating income while the other components will be reported separately outside of income from operations. ASU No. 2017-07 will be effective in the first quarter of 2018 and is required to be retrospectively adopted. Had this guidance been adopted as of January 1, 2017, income from operations within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three-months ended March 31, 2017 would have been lower by $4.1 million and other non-operating income would have increased $4.1 million. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” eliminates Step 2 from the current goodwill impairment test, including determining the implied fair value of goodwill and comparing it with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The standard requires entities to record impairment charges based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. . The adoption of ASU 2017-04 may impact the results of future goodwill impairment tests and therefore could impact the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. The Company has elected to early adopt this guidance and will apply this guidance to all impairment analyses performed after January 1, 2017. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU Under the new guidance, when awards vest or are settled, the excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies are recorded as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement instead of in additional paid-in capital. This guidance will be applied prospectively. Furthermore, the guidance requires excess tax benefits to be presented as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity, which can be applied retrospectively or prospectively. Under the new guidance, an election can be made regarding whether to account for forfeitures of share-based payments by recognizing forfeitures of awards as they occur or estimate the number of awards expected to be forfeited, as is currently required. This guidance is to be applied using a modified retrospective transition method, with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. T In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue using a five-step process that supersedes virtually all existing revenue guidance. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. During 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 ASU 2016-10 “ and ASU 2016-12 which clarify the revenue recognition implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations, identifying performance obligations, determining whether an entity's promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use or a right to access the entity's intellectual property, assessing the collectability criteria, presentation of sales and similar taxes, noncash consideration and various other items. The amendments in these ASUs affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, and the effective date and transition requirements are the same as those for ASU 2014-09 which, as amended by ASU Based upon preliminary results of management’s evaluation, the most impactful aspects of the guidance relate to the timing of recognition for the revenue from customized products over time versus at a point in time, as well as inventory billed but not yet shipped. The Company has amounts of customized products in the Variable Print and International segments which are currently recognized when the products are completed and shipped to the customer. Currently, the Company defers revenue for inventory billed but not yet shipped which under the new revenue standard, the Company may be able to recognize revenue for certain inventory billed but not yet shipped. The actual revenue recognition treatment required under this new standard will be dependent on contract specific terms. The Company is still in the process of evaluating and designing the necessary changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard.
