Four Page Booklet - Spread?

Hey,
Is there is a way to have a four page booklet on Acrobat.com
where the middle spread appears the same size as pages 1 and 4 by
the "show pages side by side" layout is selected? Currently
this
is what we have - but I'd love pages 2 and 3 to appear
side-by-side and in proportion just as they would in print and the
regular offline acrobat reader.
Am using Acrobat 9 Pro to upload files, so don't know if this
can be controlled there or at acrobat.com?
Cheers.

Not the most obvious of workflows, but it does the job!
Not sure waht you took away from that other thread...
On Windows using Print Booklet to make a PDF is pretty straight forward -- you just select the AdobePDF virtual printer installed with Acrobat Pro. Of you don't have the virtual printer, printing to file won't help much becasue you also won't have Distiller (the virtual printer is just a one-step shortcut to doing a print-to-file-then-distill workflow).
The manual methos of shuffling works great for 4 pages. For more than that youj might want to look at a script. My favorite is from Dave Saunders and is quite old, so you might need to run it in a "Version 4.0 Scripts" (without the quotes) subfolder of your scripts panel folder. You'll find that one at http://pdsassoc.com/downloads/Buildbooklet.zip
The downside to the above script is it cannot handle objects that cross the spine, nor does it do creep, so Dave wrote another script that places pages into a new doc in single-page imposed spreads (still no creep, though). This one is also old (written for CS3) and may need to be in a Version 5.0 Scripts subfolder: Dave's CS3 Booklet Script

How to Keep Pages as Spread in Exporting CS2 Book

While working with InDesign CS2 book feature, I'm trying to export my book as a pdf. The trouble that I am having is when my pdf doesn't keep all of the pages as spread. For example, let's say my first file has 5 pages ( pages 1-5 ) and then the next has 3 ( pages 6-8 ). In the original files, the document has spreads. However, in the pdf, pages 1-2 and 3-4 are spreads and then page 5 is single. And then, page 6 is single and then pages 7-8 are a spread.
My goal is to get InDesign to automatically create spreads when the files are exported no matter if the document has even or odd pages? I don't want to have to create all my files with all even pages. Does anyone know how this would be possible?
Thanks,
Jenny

First, this is one of those shortcomings with the current state of affairs. ID doesn't combine booked documents when exporting spreads.
So why do you want spreads? Is this for reader proofing (readers spreads which is what you'd get if you export a single doc as spreads)? If so, why not just fix the initial view in the PDF properties dialog? Export as single pages, then set the PDF to open as facing pages with cover page.
Or are you trying to impose into printer's spreads? That's not the same thing at all, and ID doesn't impose except through Print Booklet (but you can use that to print to PDF?

Creating a pdf document with both single pages and spreads

Hi, i'm not sure if this is possible, but basically i'd like to set up a document which allows me view the first three pages as single sheets and the remainder of the document as a booklet. The reason for this is I'm sending a cover letter, CV and then a booklet via email to apply for a job, and the booklet i have created has graphics which run accross the spread. I was hoping to lay the document as such:
1. cover letter
2. CV
3. Booklet front cover
4-5. booklet spread
6-7. booklet spread
8-9. booklet spread
I'm not too familiar with how to set this up (or if this is possible), could anyone point me in the right direction?

@Dave Merchant - The pages are true spreads, I've had a go at attempting to define the page type by the master but i can't seem to get it to split the document so that the first three pages remain single. I had a go at trying to create an entire new document with the pages in in order, but not sure how to insert single pages and spreads combined within the document.
@Test Screen Name - Do you know how i would be able to create such a document within indesign? i've had a look for some answers in the documentation but havent come accross anything yet (im on CS5). I had a go at combining the documents as the booklet and the single pages, but when i change the view options in acrobat to two page the first pages becomes a cover and the second and third are next to each other.

Creating a church anniversary 36-page booklet/program with full bleed.

I am fairly new to CS4 InDesign but would like to create a 36-page Church Anniversary Booklet/Program with full bleed. The size of the program should be 8 1/2 x 11. I probably will need to print it on a larger size and get it cut. (1) How can I create this type of booklet? (2) What size paper should I use to get the full size of 8 1/2 x 11 (I cannot have white edges around the program). (3) How should I set up the bleed, slug? (4) Should I use facing pages. (5) I would like to use the same background on all sheets. Thanks.

What does " two-page imposed spreads" mean?
If you take two sheets of 8.5x11 paper in a stack, turn them so that the long edge is on top and you fold the left side over the right, it will look like a book in standard reading position. If you write a 1 on the front page, open the book and write 2 on the second, 3 on the third and so on, your last page will be page 8. If you pull the outside sheet and look at the page numbers, you will find page 8 on the left, with page 1 on the right, and on the back you will find page 2 on the left, with page 7 on the right.
Those pairs of pages (8 & 1, 2 & 7) are two-page spreads (pages that are beside each other), but specifically, they are imposed spreads, also known as printer's spreads. The position of a page within a printer's spread will vary, depending on how many pages there are. For example, a 16 page book will have page 16 to the left of page 1, and page 15 to the right of page 2.
When you compose the book, page three will be to the right of page 2, in what we call reader's spreads. You will want to compose in reader's spreads, and your print provider will impose the book into printer's spreads. It's important to talk to your printer before you set up the book, so that you will know what is needed.

How do I create one page per spread?

I want to create a digital booklet that is only one page per spread. Right now I have a spread with two pages, one is filled and the other is blank. How do I delete the blank page w/o moving the next page after the blank into its place? Your help is appreciated, thanks!

Just uncheck Facing Pages from New Document settings window while you create your document, or do it later from File > Document Setup.
You have to remove your empty pages manually after that. One easy way to do that is use Pages panel (Window>Pages), just activate thumbnails of empty pages by clicking them control button pushed down (in mac it´s command). After you have activated all your empty page thumbnails, just hit small carbage can icon at the bottom of pages panel...
Or use Layout > Pages > Delete Pages tool, where you can give page numbers of all the pages you want to delete.

Print Booklet Spread

InDesign CS3
I am working on an 8 page booklet, 8.5" by 5.5". I am printing using "Print Booklet". I just want to print the spread I have made changes in like 2 & 7. How do I do that. All I can find is Print All. How do I specify the page spread in the Range section?
Thank you.
Cheers! Phil

Didn't work. I tried 2, 7, Spread saddle stitched and got 2 on one page and 7 on another page.
That does not seem like a good thing. If you have a 16 page booklet and change one page you have to print the entire booklet again.
Thanks for you responses.
Cheers! Phil

2 single pages, then spreads possible?

For a PDF ebook, I'd like to have the layout be like this:
Jacket front (single page), Page 1 (single page), Page 2–31 (spreads), page 32 (single), Jacket back (single).
I can get the pagination right by having the Jacket front be page i. But I can't get Acrobat to allow this sequence:
Single page; single page; several spreads (with 2 page numbers per spread); single page; single page.
Acrobat will only allow 1 single page, multiple spreads, 1 single page.
The only workaround so far is to add a blank page to the left of page 1 and one to the right of page 32, which is pretty clunky. Any better ideas? (Guess I could fill the blank pages with something...)
Thanks!

How do I create a 4 page "booklet" with pages 2 & 3 as ONE landscape page?

I have a 4 page "booklet" and there is a slight gap btween bages 2 & 3 when I print. I have it set up as a "centerfold"

More info please.
Do you have a 4 page, facing pages document that you are running through Print Booklet?
With or without bleeds?
Are all pages the same page size?
Any bleeds or margins set in the Print Dialog, through the Print Booklet dialog?
Printer info...any advanced features used (Fold, impose)?

I'm editing a 24 page booklet which when I open in Pages 5.0.1 is single pages. How can I change the format to facing pages to give to the printer?

I'm editing a 24 page booklet which was done about a year ago in another version of Pages. When I open it now in Pages 5.0.1 it comes up as single pages. My question is how do I get it back to a facing pages format to give to the printer?

Export to Pages 09 and use that. Version 5.1 lacks the ability to use alternating left/right margins and many,many other features that are present in Pages 09. Pages 5.1 adds back a vertical ruler ( why ever was it omitted?) but still lacks about 90--that's nine zero, as in "nearly 100"-- features that were in Pages 09. Some of these features are obscure , some very basic. At this point, however, Pages 5.1 is a novelty application, basically useless for any serious work

How to setup a four page PDF in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to print only one of four pages?

Hello,
I have a request from a end-user to setup a four page PDF in Adobe Acroat 9 PDF to only allow printing of one specific page of the four page PDF.
The end-user will abe able to view the four pages in the PDF - however - the PDF would only allow printing of one page. The PDF would need to be pre-set for the end-user. Is there a setting Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to allow this type of specific pre-set printing.
I appreciate your help. I hope to hear from you soon.

No, Acrobat can't do that.

Split a FOUR sheet page into FOUR page in the right Order

Hei,
I have a PDF file in which every page is filled with four singel sheets (pages). The owner made this to save paper for printing. To make it more clear: page 1,2,3 and 4 are on ONE single page. Now I want to split them again to have page 1 on one page, page 2 on one page, page 3 on one page and page 4 on one page and so on. The document contains 50 page with four pages on every page. In sum it will be 200 pages in the end.
I am searching the net for hours now for a solution and can´t find ANY! I managed to split the pages (in a lot of work) and merged them together in a new document. The order is wrong now: 1,5,9 till 50 and then its 2,6,10 and so on. I really don´t want to order 200 pages by hand... and there are more documents (four files) with the same problem.
My question: Is there an option to automatically SPLIT a page IN FOUR equal parts and put them automatically in the right order?
And yes, I asked the person to give me the original files. But it is not possible.
Thank you very much for your help.
Paul

I have created an 100 page booklet in Pages, with many photographs, and much written word, can I export it to ePub, and make an electronic book, because it says that "Note: The Pages document must have been created using a word processing template"?....
Basically what I want to do is publish the document into both an eDocument, and a hard copy document. What is the best way to do this?

No Peter, this statement came right off the Apple ePub statement when outlining how to use ePub. the full context is:

Summary

Products Affected
Pages '09
ePub is an open ebook standard produced by the International Digital Publishing Forum. Pages ’09 lets you export your documents in ePub format for reading with iBooks on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
iBooks supports both ePub and PDF file formats, and you can export both from Pages.
When to use ePub or PDF
Use ePub when text is the most important part of your document, for example when you create a book, a report, a paper, a thesis, or classroom reading material.

More details on using PDF
Creating an ePub Document to Read in iBooks
You can export any Pages word processing document to the ePub file format for reading in an ePub reader, such as the iBooks application on the iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Documents created in page layout templates can’t be exported to the ePub format.
Documents exported to ePub format will look different than their Pages counterparts. If you want to get the best document fidelity between the Pages and ePub formats, style your Pages document with paragraph styles and other formatting attributes allowed in an ePub file. A sample document is provided on the Apple Support site that features styles and guidelines to help you create a Pages document that’s optimized for export to the ePub file format, which you can use as a template or a guide. To learn more about using paragraph styles in Pages, see the topics under the heading “Working with Styles” in the Pages built-in help.
To read your ePub document in iBooks on your mobile device, you must transfer the ePub file that you create onto your device.
To use the “ePub Best Practices” sample documentTo learn more about using the ePub format and get a better feel for how a Pages document might appear as a book in iBooks, it’s a good idea to download the “ePub Best Practices” sample document. After reading the guidelines and instructions within the document, you can use it as a template to create your own document. You can also import the styles from the sample document into a new document you create.
Download the “ePub Best Practices” sample document at the following web address:
http://images.apple.com/support/pages/docs/ePub_Best_Practices_EN.zip
Do either of the following:Use the sample document as a template.Import the paragraph styles from the sample document into a new or existing Pages document.
Export the document you create to ePub format to see how it looks in iBooks.
Preparing an existing Pages document for export to ePub format
Documents exported to the ePub format automatically appear with page breaks before every chapter. A table of contents is automatically generated, which allows readers to jump quickly to any chapter title, heading, or subheading in the book. In order to create a meaningful table of contents, it’s important to apply appropriate styles within your document. The ePub reader uses the paragraph styles to determine which items should appear in the table of contents for your book.
Note: The Pages document must have been created using a word processing template.

Brother Printer will now print the first or sometimes the second page of a four page document. Tried a different new Brother printer. Same problem.

In the past, the same printer would print only half of the first page of the email.
Now I am trying to print four page statements from Chase Bank online account.

Some style rules that work fine on screen cause problems for Firefox when paginating, with content sliding out of position, getting cut off, or generating extra pages. For best results, look for a special "printable" layout for your email messages. There may be a link for this, or an icon, or a menu items (e.g., on a ... menu). If it's a commonly used site, someone may know exactly where it is.
For statements, often these are in PDF format and you may get better results as follows:
* If you are using Adobe's PDF plugin, use its print icon (floating toolbar) instead of Firefox's print button.
* If you are using Firefox's built-in PDF viewer, try opening the PDF in your regular PDF viewing application instead of printing it from Firefox. You can use the download icon on the black toolbar above the document (below the regular toolbar area) to do that.

Will only print one page of four page document

I have an HP LaserJet M1212nf and it will only print the first page of a four page document. I tried to check the preview settings and inserted "pages 1 to 4" and print "all", but neither works. What to do?

Hi @5867 ,
I see that you are experiencing issues printing a multiple page document. I will certainly do my best to help you.
From the application your printing from, go to File, Print, Number of copies select 2. Uncheck Collate. You can now change the number of copies. Collate should now stay unchecked.
Try printing the multiple page document again.
You might have to disable all the startup items, to see if there is another program causing this issue.
How to use MSCONFIG. Click on the Startup tab and disable all.
Test the printer.
Then go back in and enable all from the Startup tab.
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor if you are still having issues. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
What applications have you tried?
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet)

Four pages of apps in iTunes, but only first two pages visible on iPhone!

If I connect my iPhone 4 to my notebook and launch iTunes, I can see four pages of apps on my phone - two pages, then a blank page, then a further two pages.
However, looking at the phone itself, only the first two pages are visible (and only two little dots at the bottom of the home page).
I can shuffle the apps around in iTunes without any difficulty, but when I press 'apply' the sync ends with everything back as it was in the first place.
iOS and iTunes both up-to-date, rebooting and soft reset doesn't fix.
Hope someone can help!
Thanks

We are having the same problem. Any updates?
