Acrobat X booklet feature problem

When I print from acrobat x using the booklet feature the pages impose properly but they do not butt together at the spine. The book is 6 x 6 inches and I want to print imposed printer spread PDF's onto a 8.5" x 14" sheet. I can't seem to get the spines to but together.
Using a Mac. Acrobat 10.1.6. Imac using 10.6.8

Page tool prevents use of Print Booklet feature in InDesign CC2014

Having used the page tool at one time, but with all pages set to the correct size, the print booklet error message is that the booklet doesn't fit the current paper size.
There have been previous discussions, but I can't find one active. The discussion shows as answered, but not resolved. early 2012 this issue was reported as a bug and it is InDesign CC2014, 10.1.0.71 Build. This is the Cloud and this issue has not been resolved.
I went so far as to create a new document and take all the objects from one document and copy to the new document and the issue still exists. I created the document originally in InDesign CS6.I copy pasted contents into a clean document in CC2014. This is a valuable document that needs to be edited and used in the future.
Can someone please respond as to: if this bug that has been reported numerous times in the past, will it ever be fixed? Are we eliminating print booklet at some point so it isn't worth the investment? I don't get it. If there is another discussion open for this, I can't find it. Thanks.

That is not a correct answer. My question was not addressed, however, I very much appreciate the workaround. Go figure…. I think there is a feature in InDesign that if not working, should be removed by the software developers. [back to my question.]
I need to print proofs for a variety of people where I work. I don't want to explain my software is broken and they will need to proof single pages.
I did not know about the print booklet feature in Acrobat. That should suffice nicely.
I still didn't get my question answered, however, so please don't close this discussion.

2-up saddle stitch, booklet feature, crop marks

Hi.
I'd like to make two flyers on one 8.5 x 11 size of paper.
I have made the flyer 5.5x8.5.
I put a .125 bleed alllll around so the size is actually 5.75x8.75 of the flyers.
So I used the booklet feature & I think I have a problem. The two flyers are next to each other. The bleeds look fine on the outter edges where the paper will be cut against the crop marks. I am having problems within the center between the two. They are overlapping each other & according to the crop mark (which I believe is placed accurate), a tiny part of the flyer on the right will go on to the left flyer. Am I supposed to do something different with sizing?
Before I started the booklet. I made 4 pages in the size of 5.75x8.75. (there is a front & back to the flyer).
Then I did the saddle stitch 2 - up. I basically left most of the defaults there except unchecking everything but crop marks.
Please help me understand.
Thank you in advance!

Jules,
When you use bleed the object is to allow enough space so that misalignment on the cutter will still give you acceptable results. This means that you need to separate the two pages slightly and trim the inside edge of both, along with all of the outside edges, rather than trying to get away with splitting them apart right where they join in a single cut (that can work for non-bleed layouts, but is just too iffy for color to the edge).
There is no way you can put two 5.5 x 8.5 pages together on one 8.5 x 11 sheet if they bleed. Even if you didn't have a problem in the center (and you can butt them if you remove bleed from the inside edge, but as I said, don't try it that way, especially on a desktop printer), you'd have a problem on the outer edges where you run into the non-printing area on the printer. The preview doesn't show you that. :)

Brochure / booklet printing problem

Hi,
I have a problem with the booklet printing. I am german, so I hope you know what I mean
When I try to print a booklet I sometimes get the error message (translatet from german so maybe it's not the exact wording): "The active document uses multiple page sizes. "Print Booklet" can be used only for documents with common page size."
How can I solve this? All the pages are the same size (A5) but InDesign wont let me print it. The only way that worked for me is to make a new document and copy all the page content but that not a solution. This happens a lot so I'm tired of making new documents...
I hope you can help me.
thank you

Mr. Krone,
I am the “this DOV” that you refer to.
I never said “that its a non-issue for Adobe.” What I did give you was our position as to the best and most professional method of doing imposition because there are so many issues associated with both “booklet making” and imposition in general that this built-in, fairly hobbled feature simply can't handle correctly. Since the print booklet feature doesn't provide a PDF export feature, if you create PDF via it, it is by distillation of PostScript, a real crap shoot if your document has any transparency effects and/or color management.
If there is a bug (and I am not doubting for a minute that this thread notes some real bug or bugs), it should be reported to Adobe Tech Support for resolution. Neither I nor anyone else in this thread indicated that such a reported bug would be dismissed and not fixed by Adobe.
In terms of the parts of this thread associated with DTP and teaching, etc., I know of absolutely no word processor, layout program, or desktop publishing program (whatever that means) that offers any real support for imposition because, as previously stated, imposition is exceptionally device dependent. If you don't understand that, you are personally not in a position to diss our recommendations.
I will not stoop to the point of posting my résumé into this thread, but let's just say that (1) I've been in senior positions at Adobe for nearly 23 years, (2) have been in the computer and graphic arts industry for over 40 years, (3) currently am also serving as an industry research professor at the California Polytechnic University at San Luis Obispo in the Graphic Communications Department teaching publishing workflow as well as having taught classes at RIT and given many classes and presentations throughout the world, (4) am current chair of the ISO PDF/X standards committee, and finally (5) have the full support of Adobe executive management in posting here. Sorry you don't like my advice, but we stand behind it!

Adobe Acrobat has encountered a problem and needs to close.

Just recently when I launch Acrobat X after about 10 seconds I get this error, "Adobe Acrobat has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I can create PDFs and open PDFs for 10 seconds. I've done a repair of Acrobat, I tried a new user account, and I disbled all my start up items. I still get the same error I have no clue what to do. Any suggestions?
J.R.

OK Will, I pressed ctrl + Shift and double clicked on a desktop icon of a file.pdf I had saved there and it opened and is still open. By not pressing ctrl + Shift the file opens then closes with that error in about10 seconds.
So now, what has that proved to us is the issue? Doesn't that load Acrobat without all the extensions?
This issue just started a few days ago and all I remember installing on my computer were some Window's updates.

Can't upload files--"Acrobat has encountered a problem"

I'm experimenting with Acrobat. com as a way to collaborate with peers across the country. Seems like an ideal answer. I'm testing the "free," 2-person version at the moment, and can't seem to upload files to My Workspace. I'm trying to upload two files individually--the first a small MS Word file, the second a 1mb PowerPoint. Each attempt produces an "Acrobat has encountered a problem" error message. I can't even upload a photo of myself for my profile. At first, I thought it might be a firewall/proxy problem, but I ran all the Adobe diagnostics. Everything tested fine. I'm even able to establish video connection in the ConnectNow workspace. I'm working off a T3 pipeline, so I don't think its a volume problem. Help.

Hi, can you tell exactly what requirements exist?
I am having the same problem when I try to upload a file. My Admin has opened the site Acrobat.com for me and I can access Acrobat.com via browser, but not upload PDFs. I also cannot upload files for review from other Adobe products (RoboHelp or Acrobat).
This whole issue seems rather strange to me - an online reviewing process should be designed for professional users and these user are typically behind a firewall. Therefore it would be most important to pinpoint exactly which access rights are required, rather then let the user try and stumble around themselves.

Acrobat Pro 8 Printing Problems with Xerox 252 Fiery

printer: Xerox 252 with Fiery Controller
Software: Acrobat Pro 8
OS: WinXp pro
The problem occurs when I am printing a binder that consists of 8x11 and 11x17's. The printer locks up and does not print. We have had the Xerox techs come out but after numerous trouble shooting efforts we came to a conclusion that there is an issue with Acrobat 8.
Also, in order to print an 8x11 or 11x17 there is a need to go through and set the file size for each time we print. The check box "print by pdf source size" is checked and we are still having problems.
I've had no issue with Acrobat 7 and the problems I'm having are with Acrobat pro 8.

Correction it's a Xerox Docucolor 242 PS with Fiery

Acrobat 8 Pro - Toolbar Problem

Hi,
2 days ago I bought a new Dell T5400 precision workstation. I am using XP Pro SP3. No anti-virus software yet.
After installing everything (Office, Quark, PageMaker, CS3) I launched Acrobat and all seemed well until I used the cropping tool.
At this point everything slowed to a crawl.
Same problem if I use the hand tool - perhaps other tools may also give the problem.
Uninstalled every application including CS3 and used the cleansweep utility (think it is called that) to make sure no legacy bits of CS3 remained.
Re-installed just Acrobat Pro but the problem persists. The programme launches in a blink of an eye and I can zoom in and out at blistering speed until I use the crop tool and then everything just slows right down again to the point where you think the application has frozen. After quiting and re-launching everything works at blistering speed again until I use the cropping tool or the hand tool. Same problem if I choose Document > Crop Pages.
Have tried several different Acrobat files.
Tried installing the Acrobat updates one at a time until 8.1.6 (I think) but the problem persists.
So now, apart from any software that was pre-installed on the machine the only things I have added is Acrobat Pro 8.
The only other think to say is that I used PartitionMagic from Norton before I started.
I haven't tried to re-install the system software and am reluctant to go through this pain unless someone has overcome this problem by doing this before.
I'm guessing that Acrobat 8 Pro has a conflict issue with something on the machine.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Russ

In the end it turned out that the standard graphics card which came with my Dell Precision Workstation (nVidia 290) is not supported by Acrobat Pro 8.
I just assumed it would be.
We had a PC Wizard around for 5 hours and having turned on the 2D GPU option in Acrobat Preferences without any success, he went deep down into the machine and turned things off that were on by default and turned things on that were off (memory allocation I think).
After this everything is fine. In fact we can turn off the 2D GPU option and it doesn't seem to affect anything.
I should add that I had actually bought 2 identical workstations from Dell and they both failed to work properly with Acrobat 8.
Thanks for all your help.

INDD CS5 print booklet impose problem

Using iMac with Lion and INDD CS5.
Im doing a 28 page booklet on legal paper (8.5x14), so each final page is 8.5 tall by 7 wide. I used the Print Booklet feature to make an imposed PDF and the preview looked fine, but the resulting ps file opens and its "imposed" but it only is getting the left page and part of the right page, almost as if the page size its "printing" to is not legal. But I can't find where I make sure its destination is legal paper. Anywhere in the print or settings where its specifies paper, its grayed out or unavailable.
Any help?

This is a 100% Adobe issue, I've been following a tutorial off the Adobe site, printing to a PS file, and it still screws up.
BUT......
Use FIX 2 off this link, worked great for me.

Booklet printing problem

I have a booklet set up on half-letter sized pages that I want to make into an imposed PDF. In the Print Booklet preview, it looks correct. But when I make the PDF, the pages appear half the size that they should. I see two tiny pages on a letter-size sheet of paper.
I tried changing the page size and orientation in Print Settings, but I can't get it to come out right. Is the Print Booklet feature malfunctioning? Or am I just not figuring something out?

I tried the Dave Saunders script, but got a JavaScript error, #30477

Opentype features problem

Hi,
I am having some difficulty with getting two Opentype layout features to
work in Indesign 1.5 and Photoshop 6. The liga feature works perfectly, but
dlig and clig don't (though they preview correctly in Fontlab 4.5.1). I have
generated the font as a CFF-flavoured OTF font using either Macintosh,
Windows ANSI or FL's standard encoding but the problem remains. Yet all the
glyphs are available under Indesign's "insert character" dialog box. When I
opened the generated font in Fontlab, the features work as expected. Putting
all the lookups in the liga feature didn't solve the problem either (and
every glyph has a Unicode number attached to it). Do the alternate glyphs
need to be named according to their Unicode index?
I am using MacOS 9.2 with ATM Deluxe 4.6.1.
Regards,
David Philpott

Color Separations When Using "Print Booklet" feature

My document has a 2-color logo (black & spot PMS 485) and a 10% black screen on it. When I make a pdf using the export to pdf everything breaks out correctly. When I use the print booklet feature and "print" it as a pdf or postscript it changes some of the black in my logo to 4-color black. It also changes the 10% black screen to 4-color. I've tried just about every setting I can think of and can't seem to get it to break out correctly.
The below images show what I'm talking about. The top part of each image is the original InDesign file. The bottom images are after they have been inserted into the print layout. The one on the left shows with all colors shown and the one on the right shows the black turned off in the separations preview. You can see on the bottom of the right one the black screen is still showing and the black in the logo is also because somehow they have been converted to 4-color.

In the Print dialog make sure Output>Color is Composite CMYK, Graphics>Send Data is set to All, and Color Management>Printer Profile is set to Document CMYK.

Difference between LC Reader extensions and Acrobat's Extend Features

Hello,
is there any difference between the way, how works LC's Reader Extensions service and Acrobat's Extend Features?
We have a pdf form, which we can extend (enable features like saveing filled pdf form) by Acrobat, but extending by LC ES2 service trhrows exception:
ALC-RES-001-019: The input document is not a valid document type for this operation.
com.adobe.internal.pdftoolkit.core.exceptions.PDFCosParseException: Expected 'xref' : 437523
The document was not build by LC Designer nor Acrobat.
Thanks.

If you go to adobe.com take a look at the the acrobat feature sheet, in particular the one that shows the different features available in Reader vs. Acro Standard vs. Acro Pro. Basically RE enables Reader to use features available in Acrobat Standard. There are tons of features available in Acrobat Pro beyond that, but they are more typically features used by form developers rather than end users.
Sorry Aandi, got to correct you, but RE'ing a PDF can allow it to access a DB via ODBC. However, I would personally recommend you make a web service call and let the server handle hitting the DB if needed. It is much more secure, less work to set up (don't need a local ODBC connection on each client), and easier to work with IMO.

Featured Problem: Displaying unknown data in a GUI

The featured problems are problems submitted for your enjoyment and education. In the world of java, there are many many things to learn. It is, naturally, impossible to know them all. If you are new or old to java, this will give your brain a workout. The goal isto come up with the BEST solution to the problem.
Problem:
You need to show some data in a GUI List control. The difficulty is that the objects of data and their type will not be known to you until runtime. What is the best way to accomplish this?

You have a misunderstanding. You have NO CONTROL at all over the objects you are displaying. Reflection is the key, yes, but not on the object side. Instead on the cell renderer side.
The solution calls for the invention of a ListCellRenderer that allows the user of the render to render on whatever he wants, field or method result. The user tells you what he wants to render on and you render on it. Furhtermore if he can change the target and have your rendere adapt on the fly, that would be better.
