How to make a 'printready' booklet pdf?

InDesign CS6
Sorry in advance for any incorrect terminology :-)
I have a *thick* booklet to be printed -- has about 3mm creep.
No idea if printing company will be able to use the source files (or know how) to deal with this.
Now...
I have my print-ready PDF (each page separate), but want to provide them with a print-ready 'booklet' pdf.
If I use File > Print Booklet and send to Adobe PDF 'printer', I can get what I want, but it's not print-ready.
*Is* there a way to get a print-ready booklet PDF???
Thanks.

Why? I don't know :-)
When I compare the documents (single page 'export' vs booklet-spreads 'print booklet') at 800%, the images on the 'export' are crisp. The images on the booklet are seriously pixellated/unreadable.
If it *is* possible to get print-ready, I'd love to!
This is what I'm doing - any help is greatly appreciated.:

How do I convert a booklet PDF to normal A4 PDF?

Hi,
We have certain reports that come from a third-party as Booklet PDFs and need to convert them to normal A4 size PDFs before publishing them. Can anyone tell us how to do this?
1. How to do it individually? and
2. Is there a script or something that can be used to convert such PDFs' format as a batch?
A quick reply will be very helpful and highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Hari

If I'm guessing correctly, you are asking how to unimpose a booklet set up as printer spreads so you can post it as individual pages.
The short answer is that you don't. You make a new PDF from the original file.
If that's not possible, be prepared for a lot of work placing the pdf into ID and cropping off half of each spread (you'll eventually place every spread twice) and rearranging the cropped halves into consecutive order.

How to make English and Chinese pdf files searchable?

I have scanned many A4 English and Chinese print-outs into pdf format. How to make these files searchable ? People mention about the OCR issue. Will the installation of Adobe make life easy and manageable?

I know Acrobat does Japanese OCR very well; I can only assume that it works for Chinese as well.
P.S. I just checked: Chinese (Simplified) and Chinese (Traditional) are both language selection options for OCR.

How to make expandable field in pdf forms?

Does anyone here know how to make expandable field in a PDF form?
I want the field, originally appear to be a 1-liner, to expands when you put in more text and everything that is underneath the expandable field shifts or moves down.
pls help.
Thanks!

No, LiveCycle Designer is not included in Creative Cloud and is available only for Windows. It was included with the Windows version of Acrobat Pro before Acrobat 11 but is now a separate program and about $300.

How To Make Links In A .PDF Open In A New Window

Hello,
I am using Acrobat Pro 10 to create a fillable employment application. At the top of the main application, I want people to be able to click and be redirected to another .PDF file I have hosted on my site that they will need to fill out in addition. So, I have used the link tool, but this closes the main pdf application and opens up the new pdf in its place. This is very problematic, because it clears out all of their data in the previous main application. So, I need the link to open in a new window and not in the same one as the original form. Is this possible?
I have tried using the Java work around explained in this article: http://mythinkpond.wordpress.com/2009/11/04/opening-a-link-in-a-pdf-document-in-a-new-wind ow/
However, when I do this, and upload it to my site the link doesn't do anything. When you click above the word where the link should be, it doesn't show the finger pointer and doesn't do anything when clicked.
Any ideas? I greatly appreciate any help...

That makes sense. So I guess it looks like I have 2 options.
1. Put the JS short code in and have it open the link in a new window if the user opens it in adobe. If a google chrome user opens it in the default viewer, they wont be able to use the link at all.
2. Leave the link how it is, and it will be usable in both viewers, but will not open it in a new window.
I am sureprised that opening the link in a new window isn't just an option in Acrobat Pro. I wouldn't think you'd have to make a workaround like this.
Is there an alternative way to have a page link on the form so that people can go to another .pdf whil keeping the main one open?

How to make Preview the default pdf viewer?

I made the mistake of using Adobe Acrobat pdf reader for opening pdf's. Then I learned it was better to use Preview. So I deleted Acrobat. I then I couldn't open any pdf's in Safari. None. So I opened a pdf in a folder. Went get info. Selected Preview as reader. Clicked "Change All." But it still doesn't work. When I try to open a pdf from Safari page, I just get a blank gray page.
How can I get this back to the way it should be with Preview doing all the pdf work and NO Adobe??
Thanks in advance!

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

How to make Preview the default pdf viewer in Safari

I installed Adobe Reader and now Safari uses Adobe as the pdf viewer. How do I revert to the superior product of Preview as Safari's default pdf viewer. Finder still defaults to Preview.

Quit Safari.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type of copy / paste: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go then move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.

How to make Safari automatically open PDFs in Preview?

Well, the subject says it all:
I would like Safari to download PDFs when i click on them and then open them automatically in Preview.
I don't want any plugins nor any Acrobat.
Does anyone have any idea?
(I have tried acrobat and the schubert-it plugin, neither of them has really satisfied me, so i have removed both of them.)
I have, of course, looked in this forum for any hints, but, although there seems to be a lot of posts about the "safari & PDF" topic, i didn't find anything solving my question.
Any suggestions or hints will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Gabriel.

Not sure why you prefer to open the PDF outside of
Safari?
i think it's more convenient:
Acrobat is too slow; and when viewing PDFs inside Safari i don't have all the nice keyboard shortcuts for zooming, flipping pages, copying stuff from the PDF is not as smooth, etc. It's just the overall look-and-feel that's much nicer in Preview, IMHO.
Anyway, I guess you're saying Preview does not open
after the PDF download.
Yes, that's what i meant.
Have you tried accessing the
info panel for one of the PDF files and changing the
"open with" selection to "Preview" - then, "change
all"?
Now i am not quite sure what you mean.
In Finder, when i double-click a PDF it opens fine in Preview.
Also, in the info panel, Preview is set for the "open with" for all and any PDF.
Best regards,
Gabriel.

How to PRINT a CD booklet in Indesign CS 5?

I think it's alittle funny that our professor at my 4yr college is teaching us how to make a CD booklet in Indesign using Masterpages and yet he doesn't know how to print it out.
Well I'm having trouble printing mine out. I'm making a CD booklet for a singer I like and put lyrics/backgrounds on each document.
But, since there is two columns on one page, i made the same background stretched across, so that each page/document had a theme. My teacher said this had something to do with pagination and he didn't know how to print it out.
this is how the pages are setup in indesign masterpages:
1 (this is the cover)
2-3
4-5
6-7
8-9
10-11
12-13
14-15
16-17
18 (this is the back cover)
So whenever i print them out the pictures are not matching up right, to where if i folded each page, each page is not matching the theme.
So here are some screenshots, I'm turning this in next week, and would really appreciate help on the printing parts!! Also, when they print out they are printing upside down i dont know how to fix this.
and this was taken with my phone, see the images dont match up right, and also want them to be not backwards on the back. I am printing these double sided pages!
please help thank you as this is also a learning process fot me!

There's a problem, I think, with Petteri's solution, and that's that he's got all the extra pages to the right of the spine. When you do island spreads you have to be sure that you have some sort of symmetry so the pages will back up properly, whether in this case you have all the spreads with two pages on either side of the spine, or if you alternate sides with the ones and threes.
But I can see now why your instructor said he didn't know how you would print this. you want 4 pages together (or two double-width pages, which would be another way to set it up). That combined width is bigger than any sheet of paper that is likely to run in your printers without tiling and pasting the pages together at some point. It would be no problem on a press, but you aren't going to run one booklet on a press. If your printers can handle 13 x 19 sheets you might be able to find a printer willing to cut you some from a lerger sheet, or you might be able to find a ream someplace, but it will be expensive and you might not get the stock you want, and even on that size sheet I'm afraid you'd have clipping on the outer left and right ends where you run into the non-printing area on the edge of the sheet. The other option would be to run on a wide-format inkjet plotter.
Ask your professor if you can print this at reduced size as a proof of concept and you may be able to output on equipment that is available to you at school.
But that brings us back to the problem of page count. Your example has 12 panels, not 18. If you want to have a 4-panel spread like this, you need to be working in multiples of 8 panels for your design -- 4 panels on each side of the sheet. You can leave some blank if you want to, but you need to conscioulsly put those blanks where you want them.

How to make column headers in table in PDF report appear bold while datas in table appear regular from c# windows forms with sql server2008 using iTextSharp

Hi my name is vishal
For past 10 days i have been breaking my head on how to make column headers in table appear bold while datas in table appear regular from c# windows forms with sql server2008 using iTextSharp.

var writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream("AssignedDialyzer.pdf", FileMode.Create));
doc.SetMargins(50, 50, 50, 50);
doc.SetPageSize(new iTextSharp.text.Rectangle(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Width, iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Height));
doc.Open();
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(6);
table.TotalWidth =530f;
table.LockedWidth = true;
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Institute/Hospital:AIIMS,NEW DELHI", FontFactory.GetFont("Arial", 14, iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD, BaseColor.BLACK)));
cell.Colspan = 6;
cell.HorizontalAlignment = 0;
table.AddCell(cell);

table.AddCell("DialyzerID");
while (dr.Read())
table.AddCell(dr[2].ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[3].ToString() +"_"+ dr[4].ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[5].ToString() + "-" + dr[6].ToString());

else if (MessageBox.Show("Do you want to save changes to AssignedDialyzer.pdf before closing?", "DRRS", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation) == DialogResult.No)
this.Close();
The above code executes well with no problem at all!
As you can see the file to which i create and save and open my pdf report is
AssignedDialyzer.pdf.
The column headers of table in pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp are
"Reprocessing Date","Patient Name","Dialyzer(Manufacturer,Size)","No.of Reuse","Verification" and
"DialyzerID".
However the problem i am facing is after execution and opening of document is my
column headers in table in pdf report from
c# and datas in it all appear in bold.
I have browsed through net regarding to solve this problem but with no success.
What i want is my pdf report from c# should be similar to following format which i was able to accomplish in vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp.:
Given below is report which i have achieved from vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp
I know that there has to be another way to solve my problem.I have browsed many articles in net regarding exporting sql datas to above format but with no success!
Is there is any another way to solve to my problem on exporting sql datas from c# windows forms using iTextSharp to above format given in the picture/image above?!
If so Then Can anyone tell me what modifications must i do in my c# code given above so that my pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp will look similar to image/picture(pdf report) which i was able to accomplish from
vb6,adodb with ms access using iTextSharp?
I have approached Sound Forge.Net for help but with no success.
I hope anyone/someone truly understands what i am trying to ask!
I know i have to do lot of modifications in my c# code to achieve this level of perfection but i dont know how to do it.
Can anyone help me please! Any help/guidance in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
I hope i get a reply in terms of solving this problem.

How to: make a new document in Pages based a Pdf layout (same measures)

Hi,
hope someone can help me,
for a couple of days I have been on Google looking for a solution, but I can't find any
I have a macbook ( Mavericks) and iWork / PAGES to make bussinesscards, invitations, flyers ....
From the online printershop Flyer.be I received a PDF- layout with the exact messures on how my documents must be.
I know that from Pages I can tranfer my new made documents to PDF (as the printershop requiers) that's no problem
BUT
how do I import their PDF-layout into PAGES?
can this be done in Automator, if yes, How?
can I convert their PDF to a Template for PAGES?
if I don't use their PDF- layout but simply use the original Templates that are in PAGES (for example: envelop), the messures are never the same as those required by the printershop, how can I solve this?
Dus: I need to find out how to use their messures and be able to work in iWork.
Hope it's clearly explaned - as my native language is Dutch
Anyone ? any idee?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings Speedy

That is not a template for a Business Card. It looks like the template for a Compliments Slip 210 x 100mm.
Also you do not use the Ruler to position things accurately, you use:
Format > Arrange > Size/Position
It looks like the Printer wants each item to be its own document, with Page setup to final size.
There will be a problem however with the page bleed (the image that goes off the edge of the paper) because Pages does not have this.
Swift Publisher does.
PDF files are usually not editable, but Adobe Illustrator will open them and edit them and has all the tools you need to format the Stationery.
Sketch can also open and edit pdfs now and is IMHO absolutely brilliant as well as beautiful to look at.
