![]() Keith You could try one of the scripts found at Is there any way to save the printer spreads as an Indesign file so I can manually combine them to fit my needs? For commercial printing, I need the pages (5.5 x 8.5) set 4 up on tabloid.Īfter printer spreads are created, I need to combine two printer spreads and save as pdf. The Print Booklet in CS3 feature works great if you want to print the booklet. Another thing to try, if you have Acrobat 8, would be to use Acrobat to build the booklet, at described in the original blog post. This will cause the booklet to be built as it is sent to your printer. A couple of easy things to try: Are you checking the "Create new document" option in the lower left corner of the InBooklet dialog box? If so, try unchecking that option. But, shen I try it (I'm in CS2) the software gets stuck while trying to create the new document - any suggestions? do I need to reload the software?Īnonymous: There could be any number of things that are making the InBooklet plugin hang as it tries to create the new printer's spread document. This sounds great - I'm trying to print a booklet inhouse for demo. It looks like perhaps the PDF printer driver didn't install correctly. ![]() Sasha, try choosing "Repair Acrobat Installation" from the Help menu in Acrobat 9. Using CS4, fully installed in Creative Suite Design Premium, I can't find the Adobe PDF printer option in the selection of printers, to use in order to create printer spread PDFs. If you're like me, that was a gigantic "DUH! I should have thought of that sooner." All you have to do in the Print Booklet Screen is click on "Print Settings" and then select "Adobe PDF" as your printer, and then it will save it out correctly so you can finish the rest of this. At first I thought to myself, "Now how do I save this PDF with the printer layout without re-arranging everything? Since, if you use Export then it will just save it as the readers spread. I dropped in on this in google, and thought maybe this would help anybody else looking for the same thing. Wow that was so easy! thanks so much for this! i've been trying all day to figure it out lol. Thanks for your time, lookin' forward to your reply. I'm printing a booklet from my home computer. Is there any way to print the fronts separately? Because both fronts print on the same page and are really small. However, when I go to print front and back, it prints really small as it prints all spreads across the page. You can even duplex by going to the print driver. Repeat for the back sides after reloading the paper in the printer. In the drop-down list next to "Page Scaling", choose Booklet Printing, choose Front Side Only for the "Booklet subset" and print the spreads. Create a PDF of the document in reader spread page order.Ĥ. You can't do this with the File > Print Booklet command in CS3. If you don't, you will need to print the "front" side of each spread, then flip the pages over, reload them into the printer and print the "back" side of each spread. This command always rearranges the pages into printer spread order as the document is printed, which works fine as long as you have a duplex printer. In CS3, the feature is located in File > Print Booklet. You can then use the normal InDesign print dialog box to control duplexing, printing front sides only, etc. By checking the Create New Document option, InDesign will create a copy of your document in printer spread order. The CS2 feature is located in File > InBooklet SE. Both InDesign CS2 and CS3 have a feature that will quickly rearrange the pages of a "reader spread" document into " printer spread" order, and then print the pages on a duplex (double-sided) printer.
