How to print A3 spread in 2x A4

Hello guys,
i have a problem.
for our users i am making lowres pdf files of our magazine and want to put it online so they can read and print it.
it must be a spread so you don't miss the half of the big landscape picture.
the problem is if i want to print this spread on a A4 paper it doesn't want to. I can print the half of the page or re size it to print the hole A3 scaled to a a4.
is there any way to export the pdf file with indesign cs3 as a landscape A3 and still be able to print it in 2x A4? so i can keep page 4 and 5 separated.
thank u.

Theer's only one way that I can think of and it relies on you having Acrobat. Export as single pages, then in Acrobat alter the document properties; File > Properties > Initial View > Page Layout to Two-up, there's a variety of options, you probably won't want continuous but it will depend on your format as to whether you choose cover or not. I always like to change the Magnification to Fit Page as well. That setting will override the view settings of a users version of Reader or Acrobat and show it 2 up, but I'm not sure about the web, you'll have to try and see. And the PDF itself will still be A4 pages so will print correctly.

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.

Printing without spreads with overlapping elements.

My document is ready to print but my printer requires that I do not use spreads. I believe this is easy enough, I just turn off facing pages and send away. However, I have some elements that I want to overlap from one page to another. When I turn off facing pages I don't see an option to do this. How could I format this so my printers will still accept it?

Your printer may have asked you to not export the InDesign file as a PDF with spreads. That would make a single page out of each two-page spread, and because you likely designed the job in Reader's spreads (consecutively-numbered pages), it will be more work for the printer to impose the pages into Printer's spreads (where, for example, you might place the last page to the left of the first page in one spread, and the second-to-last page to the right of the second page in another spread). If you export without checking the Spreads checkbox, the PDF will use one page for every page in the InDesign file.
Talk to the printer and explain that you have some images that span a spread, and they will advise you on how to proceed.

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

How to print a HTML file in browser look using DocPrintJob

Hello guys,
Does anyone know how to print HTML output/file into browser look?
I'm using DocPrintJob and the DocFlavor set to DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE.
posted below is my code :
public class BasicPrint {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // Open the image file
            String testData = "C:/new_page_1.html";
            InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(testData));
            DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;
            // Find the default service
            PrintService service = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
            System.out.println(service);
            // Create the print job
            DocPrintJob job = service.createPrintJob();
            Doc doc= new SimpleDoc(is, flavor, null);
            // Monitor print job events; for the implementation of PrintJobWatcher,
            // see e702 Determining When a Print Job Has Finished
            PrintJobWatcher pjDone = new PrintJobWatcher(job);
            // Print it
            job.print(doc, null);
            // Wait for the print job to be done
            pjDone.waitForDone();
            // It is now safe to close the input stream
            is.close();
        } catch (PrintException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
    static class PrintJobWatcher {
        // true iff it is safe to close the print job's input stream
        boolean done = false;
        PrintJobWatcher(DocPrintJob job) {
            // Add a listener to the print job
            job.addPrintJobListener(new PrintJobAdapter() {
                public void printJobCanceled(PrintJobEvent pje) {
                    allDone();
                public void printJobCompleted(PrintJobEvent pje) {
                    allDone();
                public void printJobFailed(PrintJobEvent pje) {
                    allDone();
                public void printJobNoMoreEvents(PrintJobEvent pje) {
                    allDone();
                void allDone() {
                    synchronized (PrintJobWatcher.this) {
                        done = true;
                        PrintJobWatcher.this.notify();
        public synchronized void waitForDone() {
            try {
                while (!done) {
                    wait();
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
}the printed ouput for this code will be look like this
<html>
<body>
<div style="page-break-after:'always';
            background-color:#EEEEEE;
            width:400;
            height:70">
     testPrint</div>
ABCDEFGHIJK<p>
</p>
</body>
</html>however, the output that i want is the HTML in browser look not HTML code itself.
i've tried to change the DocFlavor into any TEXT_HTML type but it gives error:
sun.print.PrintJobFlavorException: invalid flavor if you guys has any idea or solution, can you share with me... already search in Google but still not found any solution
Thanks in advanced.

How to print the script in condensed mode

Hi to all,
Pls help me.
How to print the script in condensed mode and particular window only print in the condensed mode.

Hi,
Hi
It will remove the blank spaces in front of the variable
and if you use the extension NO-GAPS
It will remove all the blank spaces in the variable field.
DATA: ws_val1 type char12.
ws_val1 = ' 100 123'.
Condense ws_val1.
Write / ws_val1.
Condense ws_val1 no-gaps.
write / ws_val1.
It will give output as
100 123
100123
The CONDENSE statement deletes redundant spaces from a string:
CONDENSE c NO-GAPS.
This statement removes any leading blanks in the field c and replaces other sequences of blanks by exactly one blank. The result is a left-justified sequence of words, each separated by one blank. If the addition NO-GAPS is specified, all blanks are removed.
Please check this link for sample code.

How to print page numbers in adobe form

Hi,
Can anybody tell me how to print page numbers in adobe form.
Thanks in advance
Chaitanya

Hi,
Yes the field page n of m is used normally for printing page numbers. But it won't display the current page of total pages by itself. You have to set the run time property to n (current page ) and m (Total number of pages). Carefully select the # (current page ) and ## (Total number of pages). Hope this works for you.
My requirement is to have the user control on current page. For Example:
Example for a Invoice with 5 PO items (stands on 2 pages) :
1st page is the letter : no page number
2nd page is the 1st page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
3rd page is the 2nd page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
4th page is the 1st page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
5th page is the 2nd page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
Presently i cam getting the current page number for page 4th as 3 / 2 and for 5th page 4 / 2. I could able to control the total number of pages from print program. But when i am printing the second copy (4th and 5th pages), I couldn't able to control the current page number. I need to initialize the Current page count (4th page ) as 1.
I have used the follwing java scripting:
this.rawValue = wv_pages - xfa.layout.page(this)
where wv_pages is total no of pages calculated from print program.
Please help me in this regard with some formcal or java scripting conditions.
Thank You,
Regards,
Naresh.
