CS6 - my print booklet presets keep disappearing

I just recently installed CS6 on my computer. I had to set up all of my print booklet presets again (I use them frequently to print booklets on our printer). I saved them, just as I had previously with CS5.
And for awhile, all was right with the world. Then today, I tried to print a booklet and all of my presets have disappeared.
On top of all that, I have noticed that some of the dialogs that I turned off (you know, the check mark that says "Don't ask me this again") have been reappearing as well, on occasion. I can't help but think these two are connected.
Any ideas? I also can't seem to find where these presets would be saved in the program folders so I could reload them in the Print Presets dialog box.

I didn't reset my preferences, I know that for a fact. And even if I did, I would've had to do it about half a dozen times since that's how often my dialog boxes keep being reset (not even talking about the print presets). I think my prefernces file keeps getting corrupted for some reason. I don't print booklets on a daily basis, maybe monthly, so this has probably happened at least 3 times since the beginning of this month, again just judging by the amount of times my dialogs reset.
And believe me, to reset my preferences without knowing it would be a feat indeed. It's hard enough for me to get my fingers on those buttons fast enough when I mean to reset preferences, I can't imagine doing it accidentally.
I've been reading some other posts on similar issues, I guess my best bet is to reset my print presets AGAIN and figure out how to save them as a copy somewhere safe that isn't in the InDesign folder.

  • User  Presets keep disappearing

    For the 4th time this year I have started up LR4 only to find that all my User Presets have disappeared - why is this happening. All my photos are still there but I have no User presets for Develop nor print and no Metadata presets. I haven't changed any settings.

    There is no advantage. Quite the opposite.

    The only scenario where it makes sense is if you have two computers and want to work alternatively from one of them (with the same hard drive), and you need to access your presets from either computer.

  • Print booklet CS6 - print presets missing

    We have a problem using the print booklet feature in CS6. We can't choose print presets, resulting in low res PDF files and low res print work. How can we solve this problem?

    You need to go to the print setup though the Print Booklet dialog, and then to the Adobe PDF driver setings and change the preset under the PDF Settings tab.

  • Print Booklet Bleed Issue in CS6

    When I try to print the file as a booklet, the left and right bleeding of some pages does not appear on themselves; however, they appear on the next spread.
    The spread goes like this, with some objects exceeding the pages for bleeding:
    When I print as a booklet, the preview goes like this:
    Front and Back Covers; their left and right bleed do not show...
    ...but instead, they reach the next spread. These blue stripes in the left and right are the continuation of the covers above.
    And it keeps happening with other pages that need bleeding. The top and bottom bleed are fine.
    I tried changing many options in the print booklet dialogue box, even in the printer setup itself.
    It may be that I have built the spreads wrong too I am still thinking if these 2 and 21 pages are necessary to exist in the file, since they are only blank. (though I had tried deleting them too, and the issue still exist)
    I looked everywhere for a solution, maybe I don't know the right terms to search for this problem...
    I also noticed that everything goes well while using the Export (to PDF) command.
    The reason I'm using the booklet option is to have a document with the pages in an order ready for print and staples,
    while maintaining the 1 to 22 sequence to use in the web.
    It would be terrible creating another document and change the page numbers manually.
    Hope somebody knows how to make it.

    Hi Mikey!
    My bad, sorry: actually there're 24 pages counting the covers and the 2 blank pages. (1-22 is the numbering for the inside content).
    Even changing the page numbers won't correct the bleed.
    Deciding to do something new, I isolated the pages, which first were Facing Pages.
    After making a end with the spreads, the Booklet option seemed to function normally with the document bleed.
    The problem is that I still would have to change the margins of the pages manually,
    since they are not spreads anymore and now there's no inside/outside margins, but left/right instead.
    If I could understand why I can't print the spreads as booklet would be so much better...

  • CS6 on Mac OS 10.8 printing booklet

    Hi all,
    I've just switched from WinXP/CS5.5 to Mac10.8/CS6 Design & web Premium and I have a problem with booklets.
    I'm newbie on Mac so please excuse me if it's lame question.
    When I'm doing a booklet (File -> Print Booklet), defining all my needs (Pages all, Booklet type, signature size etc.) CS is doing a Postcript file with a page size of original document with only right half of my booklet spread (not twice larger for a whole spread).
    Printer is PostScript File - I cannot change to Adobe PDF nor change page size (in Booklet -> Printer settings -> Setup).
    Moreover I have a dialog that there is no printers installed on my MacBook.
    Mac system settings on Printes are empty.
    I've tried to search on forum/google etc but found nothing on 10.8 printing problem. Only solutions I've found are on other versions of OS with different dialogs, check-boxes...
    Any hints?
    Pawel

    I think problem is partly solved - based on http://forums.adobe.com/message/4767410. Now I can change page format with Postscript printer and Acrobat 9 PPD and print a booklet, then convert to pdf.
    It's not good when you have a brand new hardware and software and you have to look for this kind of tricks to do quite simple and basic task.

  • Print Booklet in CS6

    How can I print my 20 files as a single book. I read the Help's and they talk about Print Booklet under FILE. I find nothing about this in CS6.

    Thank you,
    I did exactly as you suggested (my files are  PDF), in Browse, held Control key, did a multi select and saved as a single file.
    Haven't tried to print yet but my files were originaly Scanned "as single PDF". Because I am new to CS6, when I tried to "clean the dirt" off each picture from the scan, I could find no way to save each picture back to a multi file.
    So I saved them each as a single PDF and was going to print each one again, and then Scan each one again into a multi file. Then the dirt would have returned.
    Thanks to you, now I can print a clean book.
    Again, thank you.

  • How can we access the 'print booklet' options in CS6 without a printer online?

    I cannot access the print setup option in ‘print booklet’ in CS6 to change the paper/image orientation from portrait to landscape. I am trying to save it as a .ps file so I can take a print ready pdf to the printers. But the resulting pdf that saves now is cropping my A4 (to be A5 after stapled) 2up saddle stitched booklet. As in the spread stays landscape, but the A4 paper in portrait. Can anyone help me please?

  • Error printing booklet in CS6

    InDesign Printing Error message appears when selecting 'Print Booklet'.  Says the Adobe Print Engine failed to output the data due to an unknown problem.  Never experienced any difficulties prior to upgrading from CS5.5 to CS6.  Help, anyone, please!

    I am never involved in the printing of a document, I'm actually not even an official graphic designer I just end up doing amateaur work. I have the same problem. Just upgraded to CS6, need to print booklet for an in-house saddle-stitch document. I don't have a pdf printer on my good computer, it fails to print to pdf on my laptop unless it's interactive (not what I want) and even then I can't arrange it correctly for a saddle-stitch print job. On both computers, I'm getting the same error as CA. How can I get around this?

  • Why does my Epson printer keep disappearing from my ipad

    Why does my air printer keep disappearing from my ipad

    reboot the router (and the printer). 
    If still happening, check your router settings.  Is it set so that the lease on the printer IP expires?
    The pad has to see the printer as active, and on the same wifi network as the pad.
    You might also want to see if there is a firmware update for the printer available.

  • Print Booklet in Indesign cs6 doesn't line up correctly

    Has anyone had luck with the "Print Booklet" tool to proof a multi-page catalog? I tried printing double sided on a Canon ir4035 and found that the front and rear sides didn't line up.
    I'm thinking of buying a nice new 12 x 18 color laser, and I want to make sure that "print booklet" really works on double sided printers before spending the money.
    Thanks,
    John

    I suspect the problem is not InDesign, but the printer. Printers in this class just don't have the same sort of tolerances that a printing press can achieve for sheet-to-sheet and front-to-back registration. It's not unusual to see as much as 1/8 in overal drift through a print run. If the misalignment is fairly uniform you could consider printing to PDF (windows) or postscript and distilling (mac), then place the PDF into a new file and shift every other page to compensate.

  • No Adobe PDF or EPS available in InDesign "Print Booklet?"

    I am  running Windows 7 and  have InDesign CS6 and Acrobat X Pro installed. I need to save a multi-page document in booklet form to a PDF to send to a service provider. When I try to use the “Print Booklet” routine there are no presets for Adobe PDF or EPS. A non-Adobe PDF creator that I have installed does show up but it is inadequate for this job. Exporting the document to Adobe PDF works just fine. but that doesn't impose the proper page sequence, Can’t seem to find an answer anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm not sure that the PDF virtual printer is actually installed after Acrobat 9 since it no longer works in Mac after Snow Leopard.
    There are scripts that will allow you to do simple two-up impositions that don't use creep, and an inexpensive (used to be free, and might be still) plugin for more complex impositions: Overview | IDImposer
    But this printer is really not doing his job if he wants you to d the imposition, and I'd be very suspicious of his ability to output your file correctly. Do you have other options?

  • How do I "Print Booklet" with just odd pages and even pages for duplexing . . options disabled

    I have InDesign CS5.5 on a Windows 7 64-bit machine hooked to a Xerox 7750 printer.  I have created a 8.5x11 portrait document and trying to create a booklet on 12x18 sheets.
    I need to print duplex manually and so I need to print just the odd spreads and then the even spreads.
    I have printed to Adobe PDF and printed from my created PDF file and have it working, but I want to know why InDesign won't let me do it.  When I click "File > Print Booklet > Print Settings" then it shows the Print Dialog box with the Pages section, which includes the Sequence that normally would allow me to do Odd Pages or Even Pages, but it is disabled.  Why?  I can define Print Presets and I can choose Odd Pages, but when I choose that in the Preset box it does not show anything, everything is still disabled.
    Anybody have any idea of why it is disabled?  Is it my printer driver?

    I too was very frustrated after upgrading to indesign cs5.5 and the latest LION OS on my new MAC.  I missed the odd/even page selection in the print dialog box within Indesign.  I tried about everything and found little of value in various forums.  But I did find a workable solution that makes since in terms of Apple's OS.
    My objective is to "impose" my document and also end up with a file that I can just print again and again without "ripping" in the InDesign Print Booklet Dialog.
    Here is the quick version of what to do.  I am not including every little step with pictures. =)  (I can if there is interest.)
    1. create your document
    2. Print Booklet
    3. At the first dialog box, just ignore the printer in print preset (you will come back to this) and go to the 2-up perfect bound option and select 16 page signatures.  This will impose 2-up on 4 physical pieces of paper printed both sides.  So 16 of your document pages printed duplex on 4 physical sheets of paper.  It would be nice to then just select the printer and scaling, etc. and the option to print even pages, flip over and then print odd pages but that ain't an option.  If you have different needs, do the math and input the correct numbers before proceeding
    4. Click on Print Settings  to pull up a second dialog box.
    5. Select for Printer PostScript File (not your printer)  Also select for PPD your printer or Adobe PDF 9 if you have that installed.  Don't obsess on this just pick your Printer for the PPD.
    6. Select 1 copy and All Pages while in the General Tab
    7. Select the Setup Tab Here is where you put in the actual physical paper size that you are going to print your document on. Don't scale to fit.  You must do this.  If you feel the need, check out all the tabs and options but for now, you are just trying to get an output file.  You probably do want to select CENTER for page position in this same setup tab.
    8. Hit OK whcih will return you to the original dialog.  Check when you return to be sure that at the top Printer is populated with PostScript File.  Click on Print and give the thing a name and a location to save at the resulting dialog.
    Breathe as you are almost home.  You have sucessfully created a file that can be called up again and again without opening InDesign. (albeit, a postscript file but not a problem)
    Now,
    1. Double click on this new file (it will have a .ps extention) or just open it in your PREVIEW (apple supplied utility)   Preview is where you accomplish the even and odd page objective.
    2. Preview will show you a short progress dialog while it rips this postscript file into a PDF.
    3. Click on PRINT
    4. Select your printer,page range, select the Paper Size (again not document size  but  the size sheet that you are printing the 2-up , imposed (booklet) document on. If not in the selection dialog, then use the custom option to create it (custom paper size) and give it a name.
    5. Click on SCALE and insert 100% in place of the weird number that it will insert for you.  You will then see your document correctly displayed in the sidebar preview window.
    6.  OK, now what you have been waiting for. Click on the box that says Preview (the active window) and select Paper Handling from the drop-down and select from Pages to Print the coveted odd or even page selection.  You can also do other things that should have been back at the InDesign print dialog but are now gone.  Explore. Enjoy.
    7.  You will have to work out your own work flow about reverse or no reverse order and how to flip, etc. But you will be working with something predictable at this point.
    8.  Since this has been ripped into a PDF , you might as well Click on the PDF button and click on save as a PDF at this point to save that postscript to PDF rip.   Also print using PREVIEW for the newly created PDF file next time as you will not have to learn a bunch of new dialogs and be frustrated all over again.
    I am now back in business printing the book blocks for my handbound journals.

  • Time won't show in Menu; keeps disappearing

    The upper right hand area of my MacBook Pro keeps disappearing and reappearing with the little wireless icons, bluetooth, etc. every few seconds. However, the time doesn't even appear when those items reappear. Also, most of my programs including Safari and System Preferences will no longer open, and when I shut the lid of the laptop and reopen it, it restarts and doesn't go back to the screen that was on it to begin with. All of this happened after Time Machine notified me that I had not backed up in 15 days and I chose to ignore it and restart my computer. Is there any way that I can restore my computer to the way it was a week ago or another way to fix this problem?

    You can restore your computer to the way it was 1 week ago by doing the following: (note that this will set your computer EXACTLY as it was 1 week ago. any new files you made will be wiped. I would suggest manually copying any important, non-backed up files to the external drive manually, then manually restoring them):
    1. Print this page (there is no internet during this procedure).
    2. Insert your Leopard install dvd.
    3. Shut down.
    4. Start up, while holding "C" (to start from the DVD)
    5. Click Utilities>Restore From Time Machine Backup.
    6. Select the backup you want and click "Restore"
    7. Wait for it to finish (it will be a few hours-it needs to copy LOTS of data back).
    8. Restart, without holding any keys.
    Your mac should now be back to how it was at the backup you selected.
    Good luck!
