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....

Setup your document at 8.5 X 11 and then to create a booklet, use the Booklet Printing feature (File > Print Booklet).

  • Help with ordering prints

    Can anyone help with ordering prints for Shutterfly? I keep getting to step 4 (payment type) and then it just goes to blank page and nothing happens.

    Thanks for your help, I am new to all of this. I think it was my edited pics that were the problem, they were to big of files, I had to go and save them as a new file as a jpeg and then went to shutterfly and downloaded from there. I never could get it to work from Photoshop Elem.

    Looks like some problem! Just try the following steps. They worked for me: 1. Go to shutterfly website (www.shutterfly.com) and log into your account.2. In My Account Section> Billing Information, add your Credit Card details and Save.3. Logout from your account and open Photoshop Elements application to order prints.4. Now,on step4 (payment type),your Credit Card details will appear magically    Let me know if this solution works for you. It can be of some help to other members too.

  • 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.

  • Trouble with Booklet Printing in OSX 10.6

    I recently ran an update for OSX 10.6 and ever since then, when I select the booklet print function, the print image does not rotate. In other words, the preview shows the document in a landscape format, but rotated to print as portrait. However, when I print it, the image is still in landscape but has not rotated, leaving a third of the image off of the page. (I have attached a pdf of what the output looks like.)
    Has anyone had the same issue? Any help would be appreciated.
    I use a OCE (Konica Minolta) copier with the latest print driver, however when I print with my VMware in Windows in Publisher, it prints my booklets correctly. I have the same problem using CS3 and CS5.

    10.6.5 introduced a couple of printing issues that have mostly been solved. We have a couple of Konicas but they use either Fiery in the case of the 8000 and Creo in the case of the BizHub for RIPping.
    One the Bizhub with the Creo rip we would get a similar error when printing directly from the driver, but printing to the hold queue and setting the printing properties from the RIP would correct it. Run through the exact same settings to the print queue and get an error.
    If you are using InDesign's Print Booklet feature one potential workaround would be to create a pdf with VipRiser VipRiser « Onflapp's Blog
    Acrobat probably won't have that printing issue. If it does you could potentially just drop the PDF into a hot folder (assuming you have a separate RIP on the Konica. Otherwise a less than elegant way to get around it for the time being would be to print from your windows VM.

  • Need help with duplicate print jobs over network that I can't cancel

    I have the Photosmart Premium All-in-One on my home network.  My kids who each have laptop running Windows 7 and are connected via wireless to the printer via a DLINK DIR-655.
    They hit the print button too many times and it keeps printing over and over again.
    Is there a way to get the printer to stop printing these duplicates.  I tried turning off/on but they just keep printing.
    We're wasting paper/ink and I need help with a solution.
    Please let me know.  Thanks.
    Angelo

    There should be a button with a red 'X' on it on the front of the printer.  This is the print cancel button.

  • Help with numbering lists in Indesign CS5.5 for epub file

    I am working with a book in Indesign CS5.5 to export it as an epub file. I have been working on formatting the text and I have run into a small problem. Throughout the book there are multiple lists within the texts that need to be numbered. Each list, however, must start over at number 1 and not be continued on from the previous list. The lists are all unrelated and I need them to be completely separate. I used "Type", "Bullets and Numbering", then "Apply Numbering" to begin with. This had each list in the correct order. However, I also created a paragraph style with the correct font, size, indentation, and spacing that must be applied to all the lists before exporting. When I do this, everything keeps its correct formatting except that some of the lists continue their numbering from the previous list. For example, on page 1 I might have a list of four things all formatted correctly and number 1 through 4. On page 3, I have another list, of completely unrelated items. I therefore would like this list to be started over at number 1, but when I apply the paragraph style to it, it starts at 5, picking up where the last list left off. I need to keep these as the assigned paragraph style but it messes up the numbering. If anyone could help me figure out how to keep this from happening I would greatly appreciate it!

    If you don't mind cracking open the ePub and editing template.css, then adding rules like:
    h2 {
              page-break-before: always;
    should force each paragraph whose style is mapped to an h2 tag on to a new page. Whether or not it works will depend on how good the ePub reader is at implementing CSS. It seems to work for Digital Editions and also Kindle, if you convert ePub to Kindle format.
    This doesn't help at all if you are trying to force sections into separate XHTML files, though.

  • Help Creating Booklet PDF in InDesign CS4 on Mac OS X

    I need to print a 64-page document as a "booklet," and would like to create a pdf document so I can print it off of another computer in my office.  I have printed the booklet successfully from my computer, so I know that my settings for the booklet are correct, but I can't seem to figure out how to print the document the same way as a pdf.  It doesn't work to go to Print Booklet > Print Settings > Printer > PDF > Save as PDF, and when I try to print as a PostScript File it "works," but the final pdf only contains all of the EVEN pages, not any of the ODD pages.  Very strange.  The "Preview" even contains ALL of the pages and looks perfectly accurate before I save the PostScript File.
    What am I doing wrong?  It seems like the PostScript File option is what everyone is recommending in other forum posts on making booklet pdf's, but it's not working for me.

    Not being very familiar with the Mac OS this is a complete shot in the dark but have you made sure that the PPD when you print to a postcript file is set to using the Adobe PDF PPD?

  • Help with my printing nightmare!

    Hello, I added an HP desject 3620 to my MB, but when I go to system preferences, then go to set up a printer, my printer shows there, but when I press + to add the printer , it doesn't show in the next window, so I can't add it. Any advices to that should help me a lot because I need to start using the printer. Thabk you all for your help.

    Which application you use for print that material?
    And is that the only application or the whole printing instruction failed?
    Try to create text document using text edit
    Finder > Application > Text Edit, and try to print that file and see how it goes. That is my shortcut to perform the Print test page similar instruction like on pc side.
    If the file print properly, than that particular program is not sets properly with your printer.

  • Help with Java Printing-Custom paper sizes

    Hi,
    I'm trying to print documents with custom paper sizes out of java.
    I can print fine when I don't try to set the MediaSize to a custom size or when I use already named constants like: "MediaSizeName.JIS_B4"
    The error message I get is this:
    java.lang.ClassCastException
         at javax.print.attribute.AttributeSetUtilities.verifyAttributeValue(Unknown Source)
         at javax.print.attribute.HashAttributeSet.add(Unknown Source)
         at hello.Printy.printDocument(Printy.java:103)
         at hello.Printy.main(Printy.java:135)
    The offending line(103) looks like this:
    pras.add(new MediaSize(1,10,MediaSize.INCH ));The function that its from looks like this:
    public  void printDocument()
    try
              System.out.println("input file name is");
         System.out.println(inputFileName);
    PrintRequestAttributeSet pras = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();

    catch (Exception e)
    e.printStackTrace();
    }Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to java but I've programmed a bunch in c++.

    Hmm ... no real help, but I found this note in the API:
    MediaSize is not yet used to specify media. Its current role is as a mapping for named
    media (see MediaSizeName). Clients can use the mapping method
    MediaSize.getMediaSizeForName(MediaSizeName) to find the physical dimensions of
    the MediaSizeName instances enumerated in this API. This is useful for clients which
    need this information to format & paginate printing.

  • Help with iPad interactivity in Indesign

    Hi,
    I am creating an iPad app and need some help with the interactivity. I have 4 buttons on my page and each one, when pressed, shows a new box of information which I have achieved using the object states. I have also created a menu in the form of a scrollable frame which scrolls in from the left of my page. This is however, where I have a problem - because the frame that I drew for the scrollable frame to be placed into covers two of my four buttons, these two buttons don't appear to be working. Does anyone know how I can resolve this or any way to work around this problem?
    Many thanks,
    Steph

    Redesign the page and consider using an MSO for the menu instead of a
    scrollable frame.

  • Need help with HP printer installation.

    Trying to install drivers for an HP OfficeJet 6500 e710n on two machines, an iMac and a MacBook Air, both running OS X 10.7.  The printer is a networked printer that I have tried adding to both machines as an IP printer and as a USB printer. With either method the printer is automatically discovered and the drivers are downloaded.  After the drivers are installed the process stalls at "Configuring the device..."  I have waited at this point for over half an hour with no progress before choosing cancel.  I have also downloaded and run the installer from HP with the same results.  The only way that I have been able to connect with this printer is by manually configuring an IP printer with the generic PCL drivers.  This allows me to print but only in low-res black and white.  Any suggestions?

    If you force restart the computer on the freeze up, or force quit the printer adding window, does the printer appear in the print and scan system preference?   In other words, did the printer successfully install?  (is it possible that the setup part of the install failed, but the actual install worked?)
    If so, you might be able to set the configurations yourself.
    Open up the print and scan system preference.  Double click on the printer.
    When the printer queue window opens up, you should be able to click on the printer setup button.
    Go through all the tabs and set things up the way you like.
