Booklet Printing - Alignment

I am trying to print a Boolet in A4 but cannot get the correct asgnment.  It looks great in print preview, but when I fold it into a Booklet, the centrefold includes some of the left hand page.  The printer is a HP Photosmart Premuim 309a, operating through Windows 7 via cable.

  • Booklet printing vertical alignment

    I am printing a 4-page booklet in Acrobat 9 Standard and would like the document to be aligned with the top of the page rather than vertically centered.  Is this possible?

  • Printing alignment issue

    Hi,
    I am using inDesign CS3 on Windows XP. On the computer screen, my layouts look exactly how I want them to. However, when I print my document, the alignments are not correct. In particular, the master page spread seems not to line up with marks that I have made on individual pages. How can I fix the alignment issue?
    The printer is a HP Laserjet 9000 dn -- an industrial strength behemoth.
    Thanks,
    Liat.

    The master page content seems to be off by a millimeter or so when I print.
    The "marks" I've drawn on the actual pages are lines and rectangles. These lines and rectangles are drawn so that they fit within certain areas of the master page content. When I print, the lines and rectangles are 1-2 millimeters off from where they are supposed to be with respect to the master.
    In particular, my master page contains a theater seating chart. On the individual pages themselves, I "highlight" a certain seats in the chart by drawing a gray rectangles over these seats. When I print, these rectangles are shifted 1 mm to the left, and no longer fully "cover" the seats they are supposed to, making my publication look a bit sloppy.
    Besides this 1-mm alignment issue between the master content and the content on individual pages, all other content is printing just fine.
    I do not think that this is an issue of the page position in the print dialog box, since that would make a drastic alignment problem, not one as small as I am getting.
    I thought about converting to PDF, but: I am printing my document as a booklet. I am working with 2-page spreads, each page being 8.5 by 5.5 inches. I have been using inDesign's "print booklet" function (2-up saddle stitch) to print my double-sided booklet. I have not yet figured out how to either (1) print PDFs as booklets or (2) export my inDesign document to PDF so that all the booklet-printing properties are preserved (i.e. page order, etc.), so that I can simply print the PDF normally.
    I think you're right that PDF might be the way to go, since usually PDF's talk to printers better than inDesign seems to.
    Thank you,
    Liat

  • Canon 4080i can't access booklet printing - Legal or Tabloid

    I used to be able to do booklet printing on both Legal and Tabloid size paper. Now I only get that for Letter sized paper. Did the drivers change to disallow that or am I missing something like maybe a setting on the printer itself? Color imageRunner 4080i with AH1 and W2 over the network. Any help would be appreciated. I see that if I do it through Parallels and windowze I see those options in the print dialog there.

    Having said that, what you are telling me is to specify the folded page size as the paper size and that won't work.
    Well it sort of works for me.
    With a multiple page document open in Preview, I can set the Paper Size to US Letter. I then change to the Finishing menu and select Booklet and Saddle Stitch. When I then print the job the machine errors, prompting me to load 11" x 17", which is obviously the size needed to fit two Letter size pages to a sheet to make the booklet.
    If I then created a Custom Paper size of 7" x 8.5" so that I could 'use' Legal for the booklet sheet, I did find that the Booklet selection was not available. This was the case for the UFR2 and PS3 driver. Interesting side note is that the iR C5185 using the imagePASS-H1 does support the printing of booklets using Legal paper (at least through the driver it appears to support it).
    So as you have found there does appear to be a limitation with the latest drivers to create a booklet using Legal paper. But booklet printing on 11x17 with Letter sized originals appears to be available with both the UFR2 and PS3 driver.

  • I have a HP Laserjet P2055dn booklet printing is not working anymore. Windows 7 64 bit

    I used to do booklet printing on my HP P2055dn; a feature that I loved!   Suddently thisfeature stopped and therefore  I updated the driver  but  now it is gone for good. 
    Under printer properties I used to have "General Printing", "dublex",  "Envelops", " Booklet" and "Defaults".but  now there is only "General" and "Duplex" the rest is gone.!!!!!.
    I am using Windows 7, 64 bit, Word 2010. Neither printer driver P2055dnUPS PC6 nor HP univerals PCL 6 works.
    Please note that  I still have  all the printer properties (above) on my laptop, Win7, 64 bit Word 2007 (old printer driver).
    I assume this has something to do with the compatability of Office 2010 AND the  Printer driver. I could easily test this by updating the printer driver on my laptop but I am afraid to lose this feature there too.  Any useful advice!!!!
    Update: I installed the old printer driver and  have all printer properties!!  There is a problem with HP updated relased in July 2011 !!
    Update: although the software shows the booklet prining and envelop option. Booklet prining is not working. So my quess is that the HP frimware update screwed everything up!!!  So what do do now?

    Hi,
    Please update the printer driver with correct version and compatible with Windows version.
    Then Open "Devices and Printers" and right click on "Printing Prefences"
    Create new Printing Shotcuts as below.
    Then go to the other tab Finishing and do exactly like the image.
    Apply and Save.
    Your Booklet printing and shotcuts is ready. now you can print.
    Please let me know if this is being useful for you.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8000 -- keeps printing alignment page

    I was having troubles with the black ink not printing correctly so after doing many cleanings I decieded to manually clean the print head. I took the printhead out of the printer then wipped the part where the ink comes out with a most paper towle. After I put the printhead back in the printer printed a print alignment page. OK. Now when ever I print anything the printer will after the print job is done print another alignment page. Is there a way to make it stop? Thanks for you help.

  • Booklet printing with HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809n

    Can any one help with booklet printing? I have looked at other posts and none seem to quite cover my problem.
    I want to print from Microsoft Office Publisher 2003, and have a PC running Windows XP.
    The booklet needs printing on A4 (297 x 210mm) paper landscape format with 2 pages (A5) per side.
    What prints out is portrait with 4 pages per sheet (A6 size) with the printing on the reverse side inverted.
    I've tried all combinations of landscape and portrait etc. and nothing works. As I will need to do these booklets quite often in future I would like to sort it asap.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Different page sizes in booklet printing

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a booklet, printed on A4 paper in landscape, with two pages per sheet side, ie so when folded the booklet is A5 sized.
    Using the booklet printing feature of Acrobat this works great, providing all the pages are the same size.
    However I now need to add a couple of double-sized pages, eg for the centre pages and optionally for the outer cover. The nature of these pages is that they are in effect double sized single pages, ie they should fill a whole A4 sheet, not half, and I would prefer not to split in two.
    Is there something I need to do when I create the PDF file from the various source documents?
    Hope the above makes sense but hopefully the following will clarify:
    For 8 page booklet, I want to print:
    A4 sheet 1, side 1 -> page 8 & page 1
    A4 sheet 1, side 2 -> page 2 & page 7
    A4 sheet 2, side 1 -> page 6 & page 3
    A4 sheet 2, side 2 -> page 4 & page 5 (this is a double sized page)
    Many thanks,
    Clive

    Use the Preflight panel. Create a profile which turns on DOCUMENT > All Pages Must Use Same Size and Orientation.

  • Booklet Printing Duplex Imposition

    I have been Googling and searching the forums and I am not finding just what I need. Please help!
    I want to create a booklet in InDesign. I set up my document with left and right hand pages as 1/4 of a standard letter size. So my page measures 4.25" wide and 5.5" tall. The page count varies, but let's say it's about 40 pages in length.
    My goal is to print this on 4-up sheets with duplexing. I can then cut the paper, stack it and bind it.
    But I am getting stuck on the imposition. Here is what I tried:
    1) I output the page from InDesign as a PDF with single pages. I then opened it in Acrobat and tried to set up the print. But there is no imposition in Acrobat and, even though I have a duplex printer, it doesn't seem to understand two sided, multi-up prining. I have a cover and a first page that should get imposes back to back, but every opion in Acrobat puts them in sequential order (of varying types of maze paths for layout).
    I tried "Booklet Printing" under Page Scaling, but I could not find a way to get 4-up on a page.
    2) Tried booklet printing direct from InDesign. The main problem here is that their only 4-up option is for four consecutive pages laid out end to end. This is absolutely no help.
    3) Found the Dave Saunder script called "MakeBooklet.jsxbin", but I have no directions for it. I cannot see the code, so I assume this has been compiled. It is for CS3 and before running it, I need directions which I cannot find.
    I am very stuck. I am not sure where to go from here, but I absolutely do not have $500 for some imposition software that I will use just a few times in my lifespan. I have Distiller, but still need to generate the imposed EPS pages for that. Right now, I am thinking I will have to do this manually, and that is just going to be a nightmare.
    All suggestions are welcomed!!
    I have InDesign CS4, Acrobat 9 Pro and am on the Macintosh platform (iMac i7 with Mac OS 10.6.4)

    You'll have to do some of this semi manually, because 1, you don't want to spend any money on it, and 2, because you're doing something a bit unusual, by putting two pages on one, and printers and free scripts don't allow for it.
    So first of all run the makebooklet script on your original document, which we'll say is called filename, which will then save that file as something like filename_bklt_1. BTW you don't need any instructions for makebooklet because there are no options, at least on the version I have, just run it and see what happens!
    The make another Indesign document the size of your finished page and place the filename_bklt_1 document into it.  Use the MulitPageImporter script (free and very useful) to do this and do it twice, once with the page at the top of the page, the 2nd time with it at the bottom.  Save that file and you're done.
    Then when you make a change to your original filename document all you need to do is save that, and open the other two documents in order and update the links.  Fairly automatic really, especially when it's free.  FWIW Quite Imposing could do the whole thing in one easily saved step, but I totally agree, it's just not worth it for a few one off jobs.

  • Booklet printing to tabloid

    I hope I am posting this correctly. I thought I could get telephone assistance regardless of the cost. My reputation is hanging on this. I would pay any amount at this point.
    For years I have printed the same tabloid size art catalog from inDesign (CS6 now) by using:
    PRINT BOOKLET
    PRINT SETTINGS -making sure my printer (Canon) is selected
    PRINT - select SAVE AS POSTSCRIPT in the PDF dropdown
    Print to desktop and open w/DISTILLER set to oversize print
    I have been struggling for HOURS to get this to work. It only prints portions of each page on letter size, regardless of how many times I configure to print 17x11.
    I am at the end of my rope with a deadline at the end of the day on something I have NEVER EVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH!!!!
    I am on a Mac w/Yosemite 10.10.2
    How can I get the help I need??????????????????????????????????????????? It isn't working and my head is pounding.
    Pete

    Well, I've now been on this for nearly 8 hours. Here's what I discovered:
    I could not do a blessed thing to get this to print correctly using inDesign CS6 with Print Booklet and then DISTILLER to open the PS file (all outlined in my initial post).
    What I ended up doing out of sheer desperation, I saved it as an earlier version (.idml), threw that new file, all the images and links to an external HD and found a colleague who had inDesign CS5. That party opened it all up, adjusted the links, and printed the booklet w/o a blink or hiccup.
    Soooooo.... what on Earth is going on w/CS6 and the ability to print to .ps???????????????????? No matter what I did, it forced me to produce a letter-size, not a tabloid.
    At least my rep isn't tarnished with the community that expected this annual piece! Perhaps in an hour my heart will stop racing.

  • Booklet printing of A4 pages on A3 paper

    I am beginnig to wonder wether this might be an obscure bug in Acrobat reader 9?
    If I generate a document from openoffice with A4 page size, I am able to print in booklet form successfully on A3 paper.
    I  have been sent a PDF created from Finale (the music publishing  program). This seems to have identical properties to my OO document  except for PDF version:

    When viewing the OO doc it will scale to whatever the  window size of Acrobat. The finale file won't. It produces a horizontal  slider.
    When I print the Finale doc in booklet form the pages are  stretched horizontally to over half the length of the A3 paper so I get  only 1 and a bit pages printed per side of each sheet. Printing booklet  to A4 work fine and produces nicely scaled A5 pages.
    Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can get around this problem?

    Thank you, Bernd, this was the answer. In case anyone else reads this, here's what I did. From the File menu I selected Print Setup, set the paper size to A3 landscape, then opened Printer Properties. I set it to 2 pages per sheet, and under Booklet Layout chose Right edge binding. Now when I print the document I get the front cover in the correct place on the right hand side of the sheet, I turn over to see pages 1 and 2 and over again to see page 3. Perfect!

  • Trouble with booklet printing -- InDesign CC 2014

    I'm having trouble printing booklet with new CC 2014. I print to postscript, but then PDF is not correct.  I see it's using Acrobat 8 driver;  how do I change that to Acrobat XI?

    Peter, I was/am having trouble explaining my trouble, so I am going to tell you what happened to me yesterday... This booklet printing issue started with me uninstalling my old Acrobat 8.... since I run XI Pro -- because it caught my eye, too, that now I, like many other CC users, have three (3) sets of software on my computer. So I got Acrobat 8 uninstalled, but then had to go back to work, and postposed dealing with the other CC program uninstalls. Yes, I am using CC to run my business.... lost 6 hours yesterday trying to cope with computer issues. So, I'm heading into InDesign to print a production file for a 24-page booklet for a client on a deadline, only to find out the ID CC 2014 is still looking for Acrobat 8, or my Epson printer. The only other option in the postscript print menu at that point is "device independent", which does not allow for page setup, hence the pdf (saved from the postscript file) comes out completely wrong. (showing a standard portrait letter page setup for a now landscape ledger size document)
    It took me 3 hours of search to find a post from 2012(!) that lead me to believe that if I could install (manually!...never done it before) a pdf9 PPD into the new ID CC 2014 Present folder it might just work. In fact, I had to manually program a brand new version of a software, which I've never done before -- I am not even close to a software engineer.
    I still don't understand why ID CC 2014 is not looking/routed to Acrobat Pro. But then the previous CC didn't either. It was running on Acrobat 8 PPD too.
    I manually built a 24-page printable booklet yesterday. Lost 6 hours of billable time. (installed pdf9PPD at midnight last night... I'll stay in business.) I see dozens of extensions in Extension Manager for ID CC 2014. Have no idea which one I would need, if any, to fix this issue, or where to install them.
    Thanks for listening! And for the follow up.
