How include upside-down clone in 2-up publication?

My project involves two 5.5 X 8.5 books that can print simultaneously on one stack of 8.5 X 11 paper.
To complicate things, one of the books has to be rotated -- so that the book on the right side of the page(s) is in the normal up position, with its spine facing left, but--
the book on the left side of the page(s) is upside down, with its spine facing to the right.
I have attached a sample in pdf format so you can see what I mean.
I need this unusual orientation because after printing on 8.5 X 11 PERFORATED paper the books will be separated and the perfed edge of each book must be at its spine.
I have been able to get what I need three ways.
First I make an indd publication for the outer book
Then I make an indd publication for the inner book
Then I --
1.  place one indd file into the other, a page at a time, or
2.  convert one of them into a pdf and place that, a page at a time, or
3.  go through one of them and copy each column, paste it, then rotate it 180 degrees
Every method that works seems to require working one page at a time.
No, I don't want to print one set of the right-side book and then reverse the pages and run it through the printer again. That would be like cheating. We Adobe users are better than that, are we not?
I have tried, using layers and otherwise, to get both versions of the book into one indd file, with separate text flow links -- but it never comes out right.
Usually, when I try to flow the second book it jumps over the first book, then adds pages to the end to fill in its "side" of the document.
Other than working one page at a time, I have not found any way to combine the two books into one indd file that has both rightside up and upside down books in place.
I could use some help -- soon! -- to manage this problem.
Thanks.

Scott Zanelli has updated the script, adding a few new bells & whistles, including the ability to import .indd files directly.

If using CS4 I think you might be able to lay out the book at trim size, then import it into a new 8.5x11 document using the script, rotate the spread view (not available in earlier versions of ID) and run the script a second time to get the rotated half.

  • In Mavericks iPhoto slide shows, why do the last pics come first, some pics are upside down, and some vertical pics are horizontal?  How can I fix this?

    On my iMac OSX, 10.9.4, Mavericks, I have been trying to view an album as a slide show.  The slide show starts at the end (bottom row picture) instead of the beginning (top 1st picture).  I have gone to View>Sort Photos>Manual.  But the order of Ascending and Descending choices are greyed out with the default check by Ascending.  How can I start at my beginning without rearranging all the photos?  Also, some of the photos are upside down and sideways, even though they are correct in the album.  How can I fix this??   Thank you!  Also, can I include a video in the slide show?  Up to how many seconds/minutes?

    Is this a slideshow created directly from an album?
    There's a bug with iPhoto 9.5 and Mavericks in that slideshows from Albums do not play correctly if they are sorted manually.  Only photos that have been sorted by date, keyword, rating or title will play from albums correctly.
    To have a slideshow with photos sorted manually use the slideshow mode in iPhoto.

  • How do I turn jpgs on time line upside down

    I have elements 3
    after rendering, my jpgs turned up side down.
    not the video does anybody know how I can get them back.

    I've been thinking about what could cause your JPEG's to Rotate 180 degrees, and only have one possibilty. However, I do not know if PrE 3 would even have this.
    Still images can have metadata included. If one does some light editing, such as orient vertical images in viewers, like Organizer, the actual images are not physically Rotated, but just flagged as being so manipulated, and instructions on its display are included. Did you have to Roatate these stills 180 degrees? Was the camera turned upside down?
    Now, if one were to open such a file in PS/PSE, and actually applied a Rotation to the image, then Save it, the image would now be oriented correctly. This would not be a metadata flag, but the pixels would be physically Rotated.
    What is the history of these JPEG's. I am thinking as hard as I can, and cannot come up with a way/reason for Rendering to flip the JPEG's.
    Thanks for the info,

  • When I import a video from my PC into Itunes, it flips upside down, how do i fix that?

    I created a video on my PC using Power Director 12, and it plays correctly. So, i imported the video into the iTunes app on the same PC, and in the viewing window, the video is upside down, when i copy it to the iPad it is upside down. I see posts concerning videos that were filmed upside down with the ipad, but that is not the case, this video played perfectly fine until it was imported into the itunes application, never leaving my PC. the file type is Mp4. I was wondering if there was anyone out there who knew how to prevent this from happening? or just why it is happening?
    thanks everyone for any help.

    I'm not sure of your question.
    Are you asking how to use Photoshop?
    Or are you asking for the dimensions of video iMovie uses?
    It edits in 720P HD, which is 1280x720.
    You can make it a bit bigger so you can zoom in.
    Much bigger then this is a waste of time.

  • Upside down pdf file. Rotated and save but still upsided.  How to solve this problem?

    I received a pdf file that is upside down. Rotated and saved.  When I open the file, it is still upsided.  How to solve this problem?

    Hi,
    I think you are rotating the PDFs from View and rotate. it would only change the current View of the PDF.
    Kindly click on Tools on the right hand side > Pages > Rotate. then save the PDF.
    Let me know if it helps.

  • Maxify MB5320 How do I make a duplex document flippable ( reverse side upside down)

    I have a 40 page docuiment, in landscape mode, that I duplex. The doc. will be placed in a binder and when the reader reads it he/she will flip the pages top to bottom. I wish to print the reverse side of each page  upside-down so the reader will not have to continually turn the binder over. How?

    Inovich, because you've already set up your pages to be "two-up" on a landscape page from within FM, in my experience it's highly unlikely that any of the imposition software will be able to process the job, because for all intents and purposes that is  just a single landscape page -- not two pages.
    The only way I know that you'll be able to have any sort of correct imposition from software is to redo your file as a single page, in other words where only a single page number appears on each individual page.
    The best way to do this is to
    make a backup of your current doc, of course
    create a brand new FM document, using 8.5x11 pages. This is a single page only. Don't worry about the actual physical page size being bigger than your eventual target of half of a landscape page, because Acrobat or the imposition software can handle that later. Set your document to be double-sided. Set the master page text frames and headers/footers to the correct sizes. SAVE this file as a different filename (e.g. BlankTemplate.fm).
    Copy the BlankTemplate.fm to another new filename (e.g. Working.fm)
    Open your original FM document. In  Working.fm do File > Copy > Formats and bring in all of the formats EXCEPT the page layouts. Save this file as your new version.
    In your new version, leave the pagination as it is, from first page to last page. The imposition software working on the PDF file will "slice and dice" these pages to rearrange them according to the requirements for duplex printing on a different sheet size (landscape).
    When you make your PDF you may see differences in how the page size appears, or whether the page appears trimmed down to be 7 x 8.5, depending on what versions of FM and Acrobat you're using and on what options you have in your Distiller setup. The printing company will usually be able to adjust these.

  • Using brochure template, the second side prints upside down.  How to fix?

    When using the brochure template how does one correct the back page from printing upside down?

    Hi,
    From the application used to print open the printer dialog, then click on ettings or Preferences to access to Printig Preferences dialog.
    Within the Layout tab change the Print on both sides option.
    For a portrait oriented document select Flip on Long Edge, for a Landscape one select Flip on Short Edge, then it will print as expected.

  • How do I correct odd page upside down while duplex printing?

    My MX870 prints every other page upside down while printing a catalog in duplex mode.  How can I correct this? The catalog was written using MSWord 2007. Obviously, I can manually duplex the catalog. I am praying there is a solution to be able to automatically duplex.
    Thank you.

    After 3 days of futile efforts to solve odd page upside printing in duplex print. The problem was solved as follows:
    Go to the print menu
    1. Go to quick setup
    select "Preview - Duplex - Paper size - Orientation [make sure document and printer orientation are the same}
    2. select "page setup "
    on page layout select "normal size print" - "duplex automatic" - "stapling left side"
    Print area setup  "select - used reduced printing"       Selection of " use reduced printing" is the key to solving the problem
    3.  Problem solved

  • When emailing as photo or video it sometimes shows upside down or sideways. How do I fix that?

    How to take and send a video and pictures that are not sideways or upside down when they are opened by email.

    More like NOT EXACTLY @MikeOtown.
    So here is a little more information and it still has to do with Apple missing something in iOS5 and the EXIF encoding when they introduced the volume shutter release function.
    I ran a new test as follows. I took 4 consecutive pictures of the same subject, a piece of paper with the word test on it.
    First image - landscape with volume button on the top using volume button
    Second image - landscape with volume button on the bottom and using the volumen button
    Third image - landscape with volume button on the top using the on-screen shutter release
    Fourth image - landscape with volume button on the bottom using the on-screen shutter release
    I sent all 4 images from the iPhone in one email. (Yes you can do that now in iOS5) to an Exchange Server hosted email account that connects to my Mac running outlook and also to a gmail account.
    Results:
    Outlook (Exchange Server) on MBP 15" running Lion 10.7.2. The images all arrived right side up in the email. I saved them to the desktop. Viewing them from the desktop in Finder, they are all right side up. Using Preview they are all right side up. Opening with Photoshop they are all rightside up.
    Gmail (Viewed in Safari and Firefox). In the email the thumbnails all appeared right side up. Clicking on view images 1 and 3 appeared upside down in the viewer. Downloading all the images to the Mac and viewing them in preview etc. they were all rightside up.

    Gmail (Viewed in IE). Images 1 and 3 arrived upside down.
    The issue arises when the volume button is located on the top of the iPhone and again does not seem to be apparent natively on a Mac or iOS platform that I am running.

  • Any advise on how I can turn just one word in a sentence upside down, as opposed to all flipped

    Could someone advise on how I can turn just one word in a sentence upside down, as opposed to all flipped. Im trying to make one word stand out whilst designing in a text sentence window.
    Thanks In advance

    It’s best to type your sentence and then click on the hand tool to deselect the Type tool
    Click the type tool again and type the word you wish to rotate (it will be on a separate layer.
    Select the layer with the full sentence and add a layer mask.
    Choose the brush and paint with black to mask the word in the sentence.
    Select the layer above with the single word and use the move tool to rotate and position it. Then save.
