Print Odd Page Dimensions

I went through a lot of trouble trying to figure out why this wasn't working, so I would like to post my notes for anyone who needs to do this.
I needed to print on page sizes that could vary from short, wide pages to tall, narrow pages. I was trying to do this by implemeting the Printable interface, but that doesn't work, because the page size would be automatically changed from my settings. I found this blog that gave me the hint that I needed to implement the Pageable interface instead, and that worked perfectly. Fortunately, the Printable implementation was just what I used to learn Java printing, and Pageable is what I was heading towards.
I'm not sure why Pageable worked and Printable did not, because for Pageables essentially point to a collection of Printables, each having their own PageFormat. In any case, if you are having trouble with printing, especially with wide pages, this may help.
Best!

in iPhoto edit the photo and crop to a square - since cropping is just a ratio, not a dimension and square would work - select the cropped photo and click print - select the printer and paper size and set a custom print size - 12cm x 12cm in your case - and print

Duplex Printing - Odd Page Issue

I'm using the following logic to avoid printing subsequent form's details on previous one, it seems to work fine in most of the cases but for some of the data input the logic is not working, I've placed some debug statements and found out that at the time of layout ready event pageCount%2 == 0 is yielding an even number so the logic is going into else block but when the form is rendered finally I'm not getting the total page count as even. I'm not sure asto why there is a mismatch between pagecount at the layOut ready event. Have any of you guys run into the same issue? I appreciate any suggestions.
if(pageCount%2 == 0) {
    //even, show the blank page to shift the trailing page down to an odd page number
    form1.blank_page.presence="visible";
} else {
    //odd, hide the blank page as the trailing page is already on an odd page number
    form1.blank_page.presence="hidden";

Problem printing odd or even pages

When i print odd pages only, the last page will not be printed. If i print even pages, an extra blank page is printed.
The print dialog preview shows the correct pages to be printed, but the actual prinout differs.
This happens on documents with off number of pages.
Because of this problem, manual duplex printing becomes very difficult. My printer does not have duplex printing option.
I'm using AR v8.1.2

I have a similar problem. With my HP-1200, I need to print even pages in reverse order first. I have a 13-page document. When I print "even-pages only," it prints the following pages in this order: 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 2. It prints page 2 twice! When I put the pages back into the printer and select "odd pages only" (not reversed), it prints pages 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11, but it does not print page 13.
I installed this Adobe Reader, version 8.1.2 a few days ago. I never had this problem with previous versions of Adobe Reader. I am running Vista Home Premium on my Dell Dimension E520.

How do I "Print Booklet" with just odd pages and even pages for duplexing . . options disabled

I have InDesign CS5.5 on a Windows 7 64-bit machine hooked to a Xerox 7750 printer. I have created a 8.5x11 portrait document and trying to create a booklet on 12x18 sheets.
I need to print duplex manually and so I need to print just the odd spreads and then the even spreads.
I have printed to Adobe PDF and printed from my created PDF file and have it working, but I want to know why InDesign won't let me do it. When I click "File > Print Booklet > Print Settings" then it shows the Print Dialog box with the Pages section, which includes the Sequence that normally would allow me to do Odd Pages or Even Pages, but it is disabled. Why? I can define Print Presets and I can choose Odd Pages, but when I choose that in the Preset box it does not show anything, everything is still disabled.
Anybody have any idea of why it is disabled? Is it my printer driver?

I too was very frustrated after upgrading to indesign cs5.5 and the latest LION OS on my new MAC. I missed the odd/even page selection in the print dialog box within Indesign. I tried about everything and found little of value in various forums. But I did find a workable solution that makes since in terms of Apple's OS.
My objective is to "impose" my document and also end up with a file that I can just print again and again without "ripping" in the InDesign Print Booklet Dialog.
Here is the quick version of what to do. I am not including every little step with pictures. =) (I can if there is interest.)
1. create your document
2. Print Booklet
3. At the first dialog box, just ignore the printer in print preset (you will come back to this) and go to the 2-up perfect bound option and select 16 page signatures. This will impose 2-up on 4 physical pieces of paper printed both sides. So 16 of your document pages printed duplex on 4 physical sheets of paper. It would be nice to then just select the printer and scaling, etc. and the option to print even pages, flip over and then print odd pages but that ain't an option. If you have different needs, do the math and input the correct numbers before proceeding
4. Click on Print Settings to pull up a second dialog box.
5. Select for Printer PostScript File (not your printer) Also select for PPD your printer or Adobe PDF 9 if you have that installed. Don't obsess on this just pick your Printer for the PPD.
6. Select 1 copy and All Pages while in the General Tab
7. Select the Setup Tab Here is where you put in the actual physical paper size that you are going to print your document on. Don't scale to fit. You must do this. If you feel the need, check out all the tabs and options but for now, you are just trying to get an output file. You probably do want to select CENTER for page position in this same setup tab.
8. Hit OK whcih will return you to the original dialog. Check when you return to be sure that at the top Printer is populated with PostScript File. Click on Print and give the thing a name and a location to save at the resulting dialog.
Breathe as you are almost home. You have sucessfully created a file that can be called up again and again without opening InDesign. (albeit, a postscript file but not a problem)
Now,
1. Double click on this new file (it will have a .ps extention) or just open it in your PREVIEW (apple supplied utility) Preview is where you accomplish the even and odd page objective.
2. Preview will show you a short progress dialog while it rips this postscript file into a PDF.
3. Click on PRINT
4. Select your printer,page range, select the Paper Size (again not document size but the size sheet that you are printing the 2-up , imposed (booklet) document on. If not in the selection dialog, then use the custom option to create it (custom paper size) and give it a name.
5. Click on SCALE and insert 100% in place of the weird number that it will insert for you. You will then see your document correctly displayed in the sidebar preview window.
6. OK, now what you have been waiting for. Click on the box that says Preview (the active window) and select Paper Handling from the drop-down and select from Pages to Print the coveted odd or even page selection. You can also do other things that should have been back at the InDesign print dialog but are now gone. Explore. Enjoy.
7. You will have to work out your own work flow about reverse or no reverse order and how to flip, etc. But you will be working with something predictable at this point.
8. Since this has been ripped into a PDF , you might as well Click on the PDF button and click on save as a PDF at this point to save that postscript to PDF rip. Also print using PREVIEW for the newly created PDF file next time as you will not have to learn a bunch of new dialogs and be frustrated all over again.
I am now back in business printing the book blocks for my handbound journals.

Mac printing two pages on the same sheet of paper double-sided

I have a large PDF file that I'm trying to save paper by printing two pages of the file on the same sheet of paper and then printing double-sided, e.g. pages 1-2 would be on the front and 3-4 on the back. I can accomplish the first part by changing the page layout, but then can't figure out how (or if) I can duplex print. Can anyone help? I'm using Adobe Reader 8.1.2 on a Mac running OS 10.4.11.

Yes I do. Normally, I just have the printer print even pages on one side and odd on the other side. But, putting two pages on the same side fouls up that process. If I try printing odd pages, I get 1 and 3 on the front and 5 and 7 on the back, instead of what I want. Maybe I'm wanting to do something that can't be done. After I changed to the two-page layout, I thought maybe I could do a Save As PDF in the Print dialog box, but that was not allowed by Reader.

For script or smartform?
In case smartform
Create pages as per your requirement.
In the global defintion --> initialization tab -->
if w_page = 1.
control_parameters-startpage = '%PAGE1'.
else.
control_parameters-startpage = '%PAGE2'.
ENDIF.

I don't think it's possible to set the page range of a Book.printPreferences
Theoretically it ought to be possible. Can't test for myself now; what does happen when you set the pageRange to overlapping sub-files?
I've just tried it with CS3. It might have been implemented in later versions.
In the print Book dialogue the page range field is disabled. You cannot enter anything there.
If you try to do it with a script it says that printPreferences is read only.

How can I print an odd page in a pdf with 2 page each pdf page?

I hope tou can help me. We´ve created a pdf from a book.
In each page of the pdf we´ve put two pages of the book.
Our problem is:

I Attached a screenshot (screenshot 1). So I look for the page number 6 and I go to the page 6 in the book (that it´s 4 of 22 in the pdf document)
But if I try to search or print an odd page, the problem is that the pdf doesn´t take me to the correct page in the book it takes me to number in pdf document. I attached an screenshot (screenshot 2) So If I look for the page 9 it tooks me to the page 16 of the book (that is 9 of 22 in the pdf document)
I´d like that if i try to search or print any page number (even or odd) . If I use the white box I´ll be able to finde the correct page
Thank you very much

How do i print a table on odd pages leaving the same space in the even page

Hi,
I have created an RTF for Invoice Printing and the invoice will be physically printed (hard copy using printer) on both sides of the paper.
I now have a table/section to be printed only on the first page and the second page should be printed without this header (the header should be displayed as space).
How do i use even and odd page printing for this? I can send you the xml file and rtf file, could you please help me to achieve this?
Thanks,
Kesava

Guessing here
In the RTF the first page has whatever you were going to put on it.
On the second page you put your invoice format/field codes etc.
I am assuming you are using a for-each at the begining of each invoice?
If the invoice is fixed length, then make the invoice two pages long before you finish the first for-each group.
for-each
page of invoice + blank page
page break
end for-each
Headers and footers might get in the way.

Acrobat 7.0 convert printing multiple bookmarks as odd pages

Hi all,
A common problem I've been having is being sent .pdf's with bookmarks, and only one page; the rest bookmarks. How can I print them as 'odd pages' then print as 'even pages' so I'm not wasting lots of paper. Also too time consuming to print one page at a time.
Any help greatfully received.
Regards
Darren

Thanks I'm aware of that feature.
The bookmarks are there, but there aren't any pages. You have to click on the bookmark to display said page. There is a total of 30 documents (pages but we won't call them that as they are bookmarks). When you go to print you need to click on the bookmark/page you want to print, and it only recognises that page. Not the other 29 bookmarks.
My understanding/research on bookmarks indicates pages are needed. However this document is not showing that at, the bookmarks are treated as pages. As I did not create the document I wonder what the scandal is???
Regards

I have been unable to print from FF to Brother HL-1440. print generate pages w/odd bits of text from the page, and sometimes one image. If I want to print off the web, I have to print PDF. Older versions of FF print fine.

I downloaded OpenOffice and am able to print documents (in particular, the same document I created in MS Word). I guess MS Word is to blame. I believe the issue is concluded, but I'd welcome any comments about the Active Directory, as I might have a problem
with OpenOffice in the future regarding that.

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

Printing odd and even pages separately (manual duplex)

Hi
I searched the forum and found some similar problems regarding Adobe Reader 8.1.2 : Adobe Reader 8.1.2 doesn't print odd and even pages correctly
This was posted more than a year ago. A few days ago I encountered the same problem with Adobe Acrobat 8.1.2. I suspected that it could be beacause of outdated software. I then applied incremental patches up to 8.1.5. But the problem still persists.

The link was about Reader, but I tried it with AA8.1.5 on a 3 page document and did indeed find the same problem. The 1st page printed out, but the 3rd page was missing when printing the odd pages. When printing the even pages, the 2nd page printed out 2 times. The 3rd page never showed up. I think this is what you are talking about. Wonder if they fixed it in AA9?

Print odd even pages of book

I am printing books using Aperture. The only way I have found to do this is:
1. Create Book/Album
2. Duplicate the Book twice (name one: Odd, name other:Even)
3. for Even Copy, delete all content of odd pages (pretty easy to do).
4. For Odd Copy, delete all content of even pages (leave the pages just make them blank).
5. Print Even copy (Blank pages will not be printed - amazingly)
6. Reload Even copy then print Odd copy
Has anyone found an easier way to do this?
Nancy

Hmm, are you sure? Here's a screenshot for an Epson 3880, but would they really have taken away this feature on a later model?
If it is the case that your printer does not have this feature, then hmmm. I guess you'd have to do it the way you are doing it.
Maybe someone else has an easier workflow.
