Help Printing Booklet

I have Indesign CS4   I have a 8 page booklet I need to print but can't figure out all the settings I need to set.
I am wanting it to be a legal size piece of paper folded in half.  
The only way it prints even close to right is to say shrink to print  but then its not filling the pages.
Any help is really apprciated!

Introduced with CS3 is the less than stellar Print Booklet feature from the file menu.
From the Print Booklet dialog, cycle back and forth from the Print Settings dialog (button at the bottom of the Print Booklet dialog window) setting paper sizes and orientation. If you are successful in less than two cycles, go to the head off the class.
You may also need to enter your printers advanced features from the Print Dialogs setup button (again, button at the bottom of the Print Dialog window) to enable printer duplex, fold or stitch settings. Go out for recess if you nail these on the first try as you should be more familair with them.
Or just manually paginate the 8 pages.

  • Help with print booklet to PostScript, Distiller

    Please help if you can.
    I am printing a booklet from InDesign CS3 to a PostScript file to then create tabloid-size imposed pages to send to a client for printing. It works when I do it with a legal-half booklet, but is failing with letter-size pages going to tabloid imposed pages (1 & 8, 2 & 7, etc.)
    All I get is a log. Here is the log:

    I am using Print Booklet from InDesign CS3, printing to a PostScript file.
    I saw Apple Chancery in the log so I thought that might have been the problem. So I went back to Suitcase Fusion and activated Apple Chancery, with the same result.
    I do note that Apple Chancery is a TrueType font. The other fonts in the publication are Arial family (OpenType TrueType) and Times Regular (TrueType). Preflight in ID CS3 indicates no problems, all fonts are OK, and none are protected.
    Quit InDesign and re-launched. Same problem.

  • IDSC3 Print Booklet Troubles (need help with Teus's rotatepages.js script)

    Hi all,
    I've been reading the original Nov '05 thread on this (http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbd4bb6/17) but I'm having trouble with the script provided.
    Very briefly, I'm trying to make a 16-page catalog on letter-sized paper, using half-size 8.5x5.5 pages in landscape format. I did a considerate amount of work on the layout thinking I wouldn't have any problems later on, but when I had a look at the Preview in the Print Booklet setting I completely freaked out -- the Preview builds with the bottom half of each landscaped half-page to the right side of the page!
    Based on what I've read so far, the script provided in the earlier thread should be the answer to my headache. But when I run it as directed, I get this Javascript error:
    Error number: 21
    Error string: Undefined is not an object
    Line: 42
    Source: pdfpage.parent.rotate(90, Anchorpoint.topLeftAnchor)
    This is my first time dabbling with scripts, so this error message dumbfounds me.
    Help!
    Edo Mor

    It should work, I think, if you make a folder inside the scripts folder called "Version 4.0 Scripts" (without the quotes) and put it in that.

  • Help with Booklet printing in indesign

    Hi I am trying to set up a 8.5 x 11 brochure with double sided pages. the pages will originally be 17 x 11 so i can fold them into the correct size. how do I go about setting this up? I know i need to print duplex with saddle stitch but when i try to set up the 17 x 11 pages in indesign it makes the whole booklet that length. help....
    Message was edited by: Vikrant Rai: Updated the title

    Setup your document at 8.5 X 11 and then to create a booklet, use the Booklet Printing feature (File > Print Booklet). 
    Details here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-704ba.h tml)

  • Indesign CS4 - Print Booklet Help.

    Hi,
    I have just been looking at the "Print Booklet" function in CS4 and was hopping you could help with some advice.
    All of my jobs get sent to me as PDF's ready for imposing for our indigo 5000 Presses. From what i can see all I need to start using "Print Booklet" Effectivly is to find good .PDF importer plugin. What I was wondering is there another way of doing it (rather than placing each page seperatly from the PDF) and any sugestions of a good PDF inporting plugin (free if possible) would be great!
    Thanks in advance.
    /loki

    If the artwork is supplied correctly then the indigo software can be great but still theres the time issue and unless you buy an extra lisence (not 100% certain on this just what ive been told) you can only have the software installed on the press work station. sadly though the artwork usualy isnt supplied right but the main problem would be time, with two presses running back to back prints + breakdowns etc theres just not enough time.
    there is HP smartstream which is another software they offer for setting up documents for the indigos but after running the trial version a couple of times Its not actualy any better than using indesign with a couple of plugins.
    If someone knows differantly or wants to argue the power of smartstream please do id be interested to hear it, I am only a beginner at pre-press after all

  • ID CS3 Print Booklet really needs help.

    Have read all the posts regarding Booklet, and this feature really needs an overhaul. The PM 7.0 Booklet was far better. Surely there are thousands of printers who need to make up booklets, then as job develops, go in and make a change and rerun a single plate. This you could do in PM 7.0, and I assumed that CS3 would be an improvement over that even.

    I don't think whoever responsible for coding Print Booklet had a clue of what they were doing or why.
    PageMaker had a feature called Build Booklet. Previous versions of ID had a Build Booklet plug-in. This is PRINT Booklet, and the feature takes that idea mind numbingly literally. The only good thing to say about it is that it does exactly what it says if you follow its logic. But considering the following, I'm wondering if that wasn't just blind luck.
    From the Adobe Help:
    >If you dont want the entire document to be imposed, select Range in the Setup area and specify which pages to include in the imposition.
    Use hyphens to separate consecutive page numbers, and commas for nonadjacent page numbers. For example, typing 3-7, 16 imposes pages 3 through 7 and 16.
    Printing from a 20 page document, that would return the following spreads:
    blank - 3
    4 - blank
    16 - 5
    6 - 7
    You ask for six pages, and get four spreads of two. There is a perfect logic at work here. But it just makes no sense.
    I am left wondering what Adobe was thinking. Who would ever WANT to print a selection of pages as printers spreads that are completely irrelevant to the original document? They should be embarassed.

  • How to print 'booklet' on Officejet 4500 Wireless?

    The office I work in has just bought a new Officejet 4500 Wireless, but we are unsure how to print a booklet. With our old printer, the option came up once you hit print, but now it doesn't. Does anyone know how to print a booklet on this type of printer? Thanks for advice. The opertaing sytem is Windows 7 if that makes a difference.

  • Print Booklet suddenly not working properly

    I am working with InDesign CS3 in OS X 10.5. Up until this week, the Print Booklet function always worked fine for me (I only use it for generating PDFs with printer spreads). Now, however, files that printed properly in the past are generating PDFs of the wrong page size and orientation, and sometimes with the wrong scaling as well. The previews in Print Booklet still look fine, but the PDFs generated are not.
    One thing that stands out in particular is that, in the past, I could take care of all the settings in the Print Settings dialogue box - printer, page size, orientation, etc. Now, if I want the right page size, I have to go into the Page Setup box and choose the page size from there. If I am dealing with an uncommon page size (which can easily be set in the Print Settings box), the Page Setup box does not have that option (or it requires establishing a new custom page size). Furthermore, even when I can get the right page size, the page orientation in the resulting PDF is wrong and the pages need to be rotated, where they didn't before.
    It seems like the problem may have something to do with InDesign's communication with the Adobe PDF printer. This same week, I found that the software for my normal paper printer could not communicate with the printer, and I had to reinstall the printer driver, which took care of the problem. Maybe there is something similar I need to do here, with regards to the Adobe PDF printer driver? Or, perhaps there is a system file that might be missing or needs to be deleted and replaced? Please help - thanks!

    You updated to 10.5.5 didn't you? This is a problem with a CUPS file which has been discussed on the forums. Basically replacing the 10.5.5 version with one from 10.5.4 will fix the problem. See also this

  • Print Booklet with White Lines Issue

    I have searched low and high on this forum and the internet for a solution, with no luck so far. I'm hoping that you InDesign gurus can help!
    Whenever I use the 'Print Booklet' feature to generate a booklet from my InDesign CS5 brochure, the output has thin white lines in various areas that should NOT be there. The lines mostly show up in areas where I am using transparent PNG files, but there are no effects on the layers for these images.
    This is an odd problem because:
    In the original source while viewing it there are no lines
    I can print to high resolution PDF using the standard print features and everything is 100% perfect, no lines
    I can export each page as a high resolution JPG and everything is 100% perfect, no lines
    The lines ONLY appear when I use the "Print Booklet" function. I have tried many things that have not worked:
    Changing virtually every setting in Print Booklet to something else, lines are still there
    Printing to a PDF directly from 'print booklet' with many different settings, lines still there
    Printing to a PS file from 'print booklet', lines still there
    Printing to an XPS file from 'print booklet', lines still there
    I've put up an example showing you two different outputs. The one on the left is a regular JPG export, the one on the right is the Print Booklet export. Click on the images to see a larger example:
    http://www.seenbest-web-design.com/techclub/?p=1282
    I've seen other people post about this problem elsewhere going as far back as CS3, but have never found a cause or a way to fix this. Some people have said 'it's just a rendering issue in Adobe Reader, and the lines will not actually appear when you have it printed'. However, when I go to print from my PDF file to my printer the lines are there in the output. They are also there when I print to a XPS document and view the image on the screen.
    Any ideas?

    It's a transparency flattening artifact called Stitiching and basically, becasue youare printing to PDF you're up the creek. It only happens when transparency is flattened, but printing to PDF is a distiller function, and distiller doesn't support live transparency.
    The best way around this, I think, would probably be to use an imposition script to impose a copy of the file, then export spreads from that using Acrobat 5 or higher compatibility, or, if you need to do this a lot, look into a PDF imposing plugin -- Quite Imposing gets good reviews here.
    If you want to go withteh script, may favorite is Dave Saunders BuildBooklet javascript (http://pdsassoc.com/downloads/Buildbooklet.zip) but it has some limitations, no creep, 2-up saddle stitich only, and no objects crossing a spine. Slightly more sophisticated is his MakeBooklet script (Dave's CS3 Booklet Script) but it is still a lot less versatile than an impostion plugin.

  • Print booklet - white edge problem

    Does anyone know why PDFs I've made with 'Print Booklet' always have a white edge on left side only?
    I'm trying to make a 2-up saddle stitch PDF from an A4 InDesign 12 page document with 3mm bleed. In Print Settings I select 'Adobe PDF 9.0' printer, 'Use document bleed settings', with paper size big enough to include A3 with a 3mm bleed all round. Yet I always get a PDF in the correct page size (303 x 426mm) with the bleed on every side except the left - which is just blank (3mm white edge).
    In the preview section of 'Print Booklet' it looks like the bleed is there, but mysteriously vanishes when output (it's as if either Acrobat or InDesign knows the bleed is there but omits the artwork in the left had bleed only.
    Any help much appreciated.

    In the Print Booklet
    In the Margins Section
    Put in the depth of the bleed all around.
    go to your print settings.
    Choose PDF
    Change the width to custom
    Add in the bleed amount in the page size.
    Then on the Bleed area insert the amount of bleed you need.
    Then say ok
    I just did it here and it worked just fine.

  • Print Booklet Problem when creating hardcopy

    Hey all,
    I recently designed a 24 page magazine, and assorted all the pages. I then used the feature Print Booklet in order to create the magazine into the form required by the printing company. The document then had the crop marks, but not the bleed, even though i had set it to have a bleed in the "Print settings" menu. The next step I did was make sure that the page size it would be printed on would be A3, and then set it to landscape to ensure that it would fold correctly once it was stapled. I took the PDF file to the printing company, and had it printed.
    However, here is where the problem arose. The company had printed the PDF onto their sheets, and had bundled up the pages into the magazine form, but the size was smaller than an A4, but larger than an A5. Would anyone happen to know why the size became smaller than A4. This means the entirety of the magazine is smaller than an A4 size. The company prints on a sheet of paper larger than A3 in order to use the crop marks and bleed marks.
    When i'm in the Print Settings dialogue after pressing "print booklet", this is what I have chosen. The Original document bleeding is at 3mm. However when they printed it they said they could not see the bleed lines?
    Would it have anything to do with me pressing 'scale to fit'? I have noticed that saving the PDF with 'scale to fit' on shows the crop marks, but i get the error which i stated earlier.
    Another thing i noticed is that when i select the other option, and leave it at 100%, it doesnt give me the crop marks in the PDF. The following screenshots are from adobe reader.
    As you can see, there are crop lines (this was from selecting 'scale to fit').
    As seen here, there are no crop lines (from not selecting 'scale to fit'
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is for a major project.

    One thing that stands out is that you have "Scale to Fit" selected - whereas you should have 100% selected
    And I don't think you should be sending printers a "imposed" version of your booklet.
    Standard procedure is to send them single page pdfs with crop marks and bleed and then they impose the book.

  • HUGE BUG printing Booklet from Acrobat Pro 11.0.10

    I spent an hour chatting with Adobe support in India. They could not solve this issue.
    I submitted a BUG REPORT at Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
    Here is the BUG Report:
    ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement:
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Export individual pages from InDesign as pdf (16-page booklet, each individual page is 5-1/2" x 8-1/2")
    2. Open pdf in Acrobat Pro 11.0.10
    3. Choose actual size, then choose booklet, and print. (printer contains letter-size paper, and page set-up is set to 100% scale.)
    Results: The printed booklet is the WRONG SIZE! The pagination is correct as usual, but each individual page is being REDUCED, and now each page image is too small, and there is now a GAP between pages, and the entire booklet is useless. If you can, please see case number: 0186447426: support chat: it covers everything we have tried so far ... (We tried everything they could think of, but all attempts failed.) This bug was introduced somewhere along the line with Yosemite.
    Expected results: As usual, when printing booklets from Acrobat Pro, we expect the print to be the right size, the same size as the InDesign doc, and as it has been printed previously by Acrobat Pro prior to Yosemite. Thanks for fixing this disaster of a bug. Please contact me if you need further info, copies of the individual page pdf, etc.
    I am literally stuck. I can go through the laborious process of using InDesign to "print booklet" to a postscript file and use Distiller to make the booklet pdf, but under Yosemite, I am prevented from installing print drivers unless that printer is locally available on my network. Unfortunately, the printer is located at my client's place of business.
    I realize there is typically a leap-frog effect between operating system updates, hardware, and application updates, but combined with other Yosemite issues, this Acrobat Pro bug is killing my business.

    DrStrik9 (sounds a bit poisonous to me!),
    The issue, regrettably, is that Acrobat is performing as designed. And it has nothing to do with either MacOS 10.10 or anything new or different with Acrobat 11.0.10 (versus earlier versions going all the way back to the initial implementation of the booklet printing feature). And this isn't directly a printer driver issue, either! The same behaviour occurs both on MacOS and Windows.
    The problem, simply stated, is that the Booklet print option in Acrobat (and Reader) is attempting to avoid loss of content due to the paper's non-printable margins. The scaling factors in the Size print option are not utilized at all in the Booklet print option. The Booklet print option attempts to fit two logical pages of your PDF file into the printable area of each physical sheet of paper. Assuming that your printer's Letter page is defined as having a printable area of 8"x10.5" due to a 0.25" non-printable area surrounding the page, then the Booklet print option will force each of the 5.5"x8.5" pages of your PDF file into a  5.17'x8" area centered on each half of the 8.5"x11" printed sheet.
    There are three workarounds that I know of:
    (1)    Many high end printers have booklet printing capabilities in the printer or printer driver itself. Check the detailed driver options to see whether in fact your printer / printer driver does support a booklet printing option. If so, try that first. That would likely solve your problem.
    (2)    Assuming that this is a PostScript printer, edit the .PPD file for the printer you are using to to modify the specification of the Letter printable area. In the PPD file, you will see an entry similar to this:
        *ImageableArea Letter/Letter: "18 18 594 774"
    or
        *ImageableArea Letter/US Letter: "18 18 594 774"
    Edit the entry to change only the four numbers as follows:
        *ImageableArea Letter/Letter: "0 0 612 792"
    That indicates to the PostScript driver that there is no unprintable border on your pages. Then save the .PPD file. I would then suggest rebooting and then trying to print. Note that the side effect of this is that Fit and Shrink oversized pages options will not take into account the non-printable area of your printer.
    Note that a similar hack can be done with Ledger (i.e. 11"x17") page descriptions in the PPD to fix a similar issue affecting printing 8.5"x11" pages to 11"x17" sheets as booklets.
    (3)    There are some very reliable third party plugins for Acrobat that provide full advanced document imposition capabilities, creating what are known as printer flats as a new PDF file from your logical pages. There are n-up, booklet, step-and-repeat, etc. options galore in such packages. Examples include Quite Imposing and PDF Snake. I have personally used Quite Imposing for nearly 15 years for this purpose and can vouch that it works beautifully. I don't have personal experience with PDF Snake, although it is less expensive.
    Good luck and let us know if any of this helps you at all!

  • 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?

  • Print booklet to pdf?

    I'm trying to export a .pdf file where the pages are in print order, not viewing order (i.e., where they're already imposed).
    The Print Booklet feature of InDesign (File > Print Booklet) works fine for reordering the pages and then printing them, but I'm trying to reorder the pages and save them as a .pdf file.
    Another discussion I saw on this topic recommended using Print Booklet and selecting "print to pdf" from one's list of printers, but for me, this option doesn't show up.
    I'm sure this is very easy to do, as InDesign has 1) the ability to export to .pdf, and 2) the ability to reorder pages for printing, but somehow I'm just not seeing how to do this.
    What I have:
    - InDesign CS5
    - Photoshop CS4
    - Windows 7
    Thanks for any help.

    The AdobePDF virtual printer is installed as part of the installation process of a FULL version of Acrobat. If you don't have Acrobat, that's why you don't see it. You could print to file and then use one of the freeware PDF converters, perhaps, but I don't know what the result would be. Since you'd be working with a flattened file it will probably work OK.

  • Trouble printing booklet to PDF

    I'm using InDesign CS6 on Mac OS 10.6.8. I'm new to Id so any help would be appreciated.
    I've created a 20 page booklet (2-up Saddle Stitch; letter-Half V), and when I choose File/Print Booklet, it looks correct in the preview pane, but no matter how I tweak the printer settings the PDF doesn't come out with the proper spread orientation.  Instead, it's forced onto a single page, portrait view and, of course, half of the right side of the spread is chopped off. The pages are properly imposed, but just turned the wrong way. 
    Because the PDF print option doesn't show up on the printer list, I've been creating a .ps file and converting it to PDF with Adobe Distiller v10. I've tried selecting landscape in the printer settings but as soon as I change the output to postscript, many setting options become grayed-out, and my previously selected setting doesn't get applied.  I also tried just exporting to PDF from Id, but it doesn't seem to give an option for a page imposition.
    I've been searching for two days for a solution, but so far nothing seems to effect the final PDF layout. Please help!

    You can also try a script...
    Dave Saunders wrote tow of them that work quite well for simple two-up, no bleed files. The first is at http://pdsassoc.com/downloads/Buildbooklet.zip and as far as I( know still works as recently as CS6, but cannot handle crossovers at the spine. For those you can try Dave's CS3 Booklet Script
    The first script shuffles the pages in a new file, and you need to export with the Spreads box checked when you are done. The scond works by placing the original pages into a new file with pages wide enough to hold two of the originals, so you export that with Spreads unchecked.
