Print Pages as spreads without Print Booklet???

I have a document made up with 6 page spreads and 4 page inside. Trying to ouput a proof.
I the 6 pages printed fine. But I want to print pages 3-6 as spreads, as in 6,3,4,5 and to print back to back.
But pages 4,5 came out as spreads and 6,3 came out as single pages...
I need 6,3 to spreads and to back 4,5?

Yeh I prefer the PDF method as Jongware suggested. Placed InDesign files can cause InDesign (well my computer) to go really slow especially when the InDesign pages are fairly content heavy. I don't know why but more that about 16 pages of placed indesign files and InDesign is really slow.
The PDF has the advantage also because you can export to a smaller low res version, and that is perfect for an in-house proof, test my measurements and is faster when sending it through the printer, generally.
I'll have to investigate this problem further. I was hoping it would be a simple matter of inserting something like
Range: 6,3
and that would treat it like a spread or something?
But it doesn't work, I was hoping for some sort of easy fix like "{6,3}" or something, the way you can do for absolute page numbers with "+1" for the very first page regardless of page numeral or section applied.

    My Photosmart Premium C309g/m is suddenly NOT printing page one of whatever print job is sent to it.  How can i fix this?

    Please read this post then provide some details.   What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN, bluetooth?
    Is the first page blank of just missing entirely?  
    What program are you printing from?  Does the same thing happen if you print from Notepad or Wordpad?  (If not then check the settings in your program to make sure you are sepcifying then entire page range desired for printing).

  • How to print a single spread in Print Booklet

    Just got ID CS3 - Have a 20 pg booklet from old version, opened fine, but can't make it print a single spread... tell it to print all, and the pages line up OK in Preview - but when I try and print a single spread, 6-15 for instance, only page 6 shows and prints... booklet feature is biggest reason I spent for update... any help? Thanks, Lamar

    As far as I can tell, print booklet does just that: it prints a booklet based on just the pages you choose. It does not build a booklet that you can print spreads from. So, if you wanted to print spread 16-5 from a 20 page file, you would have to include the logical pages of the reverse side of that spread. Namely 6 and 15. (Enter 5,6,15,16 to get a four page booklet with two spreads that correspond to what would be in your 20 pager.)
    If you are opening a file that is already in printers spreads, I don't think you should be using Print Booklet at all. Just use the regular print dialogue and choose print spreads.

  • Deskjet 5550C: pages go through without printing

    The deskjet 5550C, USB connected, has operated extremely reliably for years on different PCs, on my current PC (running XP pro SP3) since that was purchased in April 2008. The following problem started happening two days ago, no error messages. Nothing changed on my system between the time that the printer worked and when the problem started.
    When I select the printer from any application (e.g. Notepad, Word, Adobe Reader) to print a page, the paper is drawn into the printer but then emerges straight out again without any printing. The only exception is if I open the 5550C deskjet printer assistant, choose Tools and updates/printer maintenance/print test page, click print, then a picture and the HP logo are printed. Also, if I click calibrate printer or if I change a cartridge, the calibration page prints OK.
    If I conmnect another printer (Dell photo 928, also USGB connected) I can print properly from all apps. I have also run chkdsk /r, looked in device manager, tried different USB ports. Everything is OK with those, so I do not think there is any problem with the OS or PC hardware, it must be the printer or its software.
    Things I have tried to diagnose/correct:
    1. Downloaded, installed and ran the HP print diagnostic utility (v 1.5): all items have a green checkmark, but trying test print, again the paper feeds through without printing.
    2. Disconnected the printer from mains, waited 1 minute, reconnected and let it reset: no change.
    3. Completely uninstalled and reinstalled all printer drivers and software using the CD that came with the printer (driver version 5.5.2.0). No change. Checked for driver updates, HP automatic check says: you have the latest drivers. Again ran the diagnostic utility: all green checkmarks, but as before print test page page loads paper, feeds through without printing The above steps naturally included numerous PC restarts as well.
    Any advice welcome. If this cannot be easily fixed, is the printer dead or is it worth trying to get it repaired?
    EDIT: I found this post on the board with an apparently similar problem:
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-printing-questi​ons/Deskjet-5550-prints-blank-page/m-p/122533
    where the OP found that printing colour was OK and the problem was with the black cartridge. So I tried that, but again the page went though the printer without printing anything. So that and the faqct that calibration page prints OK from both cartridges shows that does not apply in my case.

    Bumped, in the hope that someone can reply, thanks.

  • Acrobat 9 bug? - Print Pages function does not print all bookmarked pages

    We use the Bookmark Print Pages function to allow for easy printing of sections of large PDFs. All of the pages that should be printed are bookmarked. The bookmarked pages print correctly in Adobe 8, but not in Adobe 9.
    I have put together a javascript workaround, but would prefer a solution that does not require distributing a file to all users.
    I would appreciate any suggestions on other possible workarounds.
    Here is the bug report I submitted to Adobe:
    Concise problem statement: The "Print Pages" function for bookmarks does not print all bookmarked pages in Adobe Reader 9.0 and 9.1. The same bookmarks print properly in Adobe Reader, Standard, and Pro 8.
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Open the Adobe Acrobat SDK JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference PDF (Version 8.1, April 2007) in Adobe Reader 9.0 or 9.1.
    2. View the bookmarks. Right-click on New Features and Changes and choose "Print Pages."
    3. Open the same PDF in Adobe Reader, Standard, or Pro 8. (I used Adobe Professional 8.1.3.)
    4. View the bookmarks. Right-click on New Features and Changes and choose "Print Pages."
    Results and Expected results: Printing from v8 results in 12 pages. Printing from v9 results in 9 pages. Pages 741, 754, and 769 did not print from v9.

    I'm having the same issues.  Using the latest version 9.3.3.  Is this a bug? I tired calling adobe but their CR sounds like 3rd country only.  Anyone can shed a light on this issue?

  • Auto printing a PDF document without Print Dialog, in a web application

    Hello,
    We are developing a web application (target browsers: IE and Firefox). One of the requirement is to open a PDF document and print it without any user intervention(no print dialogs). Is there a way to achieve this? Please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Prasanth

    Yes, if you install a special application folder level script with a trusted function on the end user's client computer. Adobe has made this feature only available under very specific conditions to prevent atomically printing without the end users knowledge of the print action or allowing it by adding a the special folder level file.

  • "Print page" doesn't work as intended when using lengthy tables. (Brother MFC 6490CW, possibly others)

    I had originally thought this was a printing driver problem, but further testing indicated that this was not a problem in Internet Explorer and it was a problem in Firefox.
    When printing some web pages using Mozilla Firefox, particularly those having sizable tables which would extend beyond the length of a single printed page, the remainder of the table is not printed even though the remainder of the web page itself is printed. The behavior is also noted when using Print Preview. See, for example, this web page which I created: http://alltherightwaystowrite.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-basics-capitalization.html
    I inquired of other bloggers to see if they were also experiencing this issue. See, for example, the discussion I began here: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/blogger/EpD6K2ezIZE/a5mPu8CV0HwJ
    As you can see, the only response I received indicated it was not an issue for that person with a different printer. This leads me to believe the problem is with either the MFC6490CW printer (unlikely) or the MFC6490CW printer driver (more likely) or perhaps with Firefox, or some combination of those three. This problem is duplicatable by me on successive attempts to print with any web page with a table extending beyond the length of a single page of printed paper. The output error occurs whether printing in portrait or landscape mode.
    Saving a web page as "Web Page Complete" and opening up the web page in Microsoft Word created a variety of formatting errors, but otherwise, the entire contents of the page would have printed. Of course, this is not an ideal solution in any event. The entire document should print seamlessly across multiple pages without losing any data or content in the process.
    As indicated above, as an additional test, I attempted to print the same web page in Internet Explorer and did not note the output errors described here. The web page printed correctly under those conditions. As a result, I believe that the most likely culprit is Firefox since Internet Explorer was also a good test case for my printer and printer driver, and it passed that test case.

    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=521204 - this is a META Bug which is tracking all the Bugs which are related to '''Wrong page splitting / Missing page content when printing''' - 34 different Bugs, 14 of which are marked as solved.
    IMO, that page would be better served with a print css script ''(as jscher2000 mentioned earlier)'' to make that a "printer ready" page, if wanting that page to be "printable" is your intention. As it now is that page is shrunk by about 50% with the "Shrink to Fit" feature engaged. Look at that page in Print Preview when the Scale is set to 100% instead of Shrink to Fit, and see that the page is so large that it shows that about 1/2 the width. Then decrease the zoom level in Print Preview to 50 or 60% to get that page to fit horizontally with the "Shrink to Fit" feature disabled. Looks like a case of "garbage in - garbage out".
    I think the css used for that page uses too large a font which ''(IMO)'' forces Firefox to shrink the font too much to make that page fit to a letter size sheet of paper. And relying first upon the Print to Fit feature in the four different major browser engines ''(Gecko, Trident, WebKit, and Presto)'' and then the hundreds of print drivers out there is just looking for failures such as you are seeing; it works for some viewers and doesn't work for other viewers. What appears on the '''"screen"''' doesn't always translate to the '''"printed page'''" too well without proper instructions via style sheets, especially since "screens" are oriented horizontally and most "printed" pages are vertically oriented unless the user shifts to the Portrait view.

  • Using Acrobat 9 and suddenly there is no selected page range in the print box.   Only selected PDF files or all PDF files.  Am I doing something wrong?  I need to print only three pages from the document

    There is no selected print page range in the print box.  Only selected PDF file and all PDF files.  Any suggestions?

    Well, I looked for where to delete this but didn't see it.
    NEVERMIND; I forced iPhoto to quit and restarted and everything seems fine.
    BTW, I did get one thing wrong. When I looked at both iPhoto libraries with FINDER, the active one and the archived one both showed content as far as file size goes.
    It was because I was viewing the files through Adobe Bridge that it was showing 0 GB's; for whatever reason.

  • Problem with printing EMF to Zebra ZM400 printer

    I'm attempting to print multiple copies of an rdlc directly to a Zebra ZM400 printer.  Previewing the report in a report viewer, then printing, works as expected.  Printing directly to the printer, thereby bypassing the report viewer, does not
    work as expected.  Alignment of text is off and the font is wrong.  This is an older ZM400 with an updated driver.
    This is not a problem with a newer ZM400.  So I'm thinking it's the age of the printer and not anything to do with the programming code.  Unfortunately I cannot try the rdlc on the newer ZM400 due to the forms size expected by the printer.  I
    thought I'd check here to see if anyone else has had this problem and if they were able to get it resolved.  Otherwise, I think the user will have to upgrade their printer.
    Here's the code I'm using:
    If MyGlobals.strLabelRequested = "xxxx" Then
    deviceInfo = "<DeviceInfo>" & _
    "<OutputFormat>EMF</OutputFormat>" & _
    "<PageWidth>2.96in</PageWidth>" & _
    "<PageHeight>6.9583in</PageHeight>" & _
    "<MarginTop>0.0in</MarginTop>" & _
    "<MarginLeft>0.0in</MarginLeft>" & _
    "<MarginRight>0.0in</MarginRight>" & _
    "<MarginBottom>0.0in</MarginBottom>" & _
    "</DeviceInfo>"
    Else
    deviceInfo = "<DeviceInfo>" & _
    "<OutputFormat>EMF</OutputFormat>" & _
    "<PageWidth>4.427in</PageWidth>" & _
    "<PageHeight>8.25in</PageHeight>" & _
    "<MarginTop>0.161in</MarginTop>" & _
    "<MarginLeft>0.25in</MarginLeft>" & _
    "<MarginRight>0.161in</MarginRight>" & _
    "<MarginBottom>0.161in</MarginBottom>" & _
    "</DeviceInfo>"
    End If
    The "If..." part of the code is for the older ZM400.  The "Else.." is for the newer ZM400.
    Thanks.

    I don't know the answer.
    However I do have a question. If you can't try this on a newer ZM400 due to the forms size expected by the printer then how do you know it will work on a newer ZM400? Therefore how could you tell the customer they must upgrade or something? And how then
    would you know this is not a problem with a newer ZM400?
    Maybe the below links can help. Online C# to VB converters like

  • Blank Spread Using Print Booklet

    I am outputting a 48 page booklet using the Print Booklet feature in InDesign CC. Oddly, one spread is printing without the content. Pages 3 and 46 are blank.
    I know they are being output, since the crop marks do appear on the spread. The content, however, is left out.
    This occurs regardless of the printer. The same thing occurs when I send the output to the PDF printer. The crop marks are there, but otherwise the page is blank.
    These pages, 3 and 46, print fine when I output them individually. They're also fine when I output the file to a PDF. It is just the print booklet feature that is loosing the page content.
    Does anyone have an idea what is going on here?
    Thanks

    I debugged it by removing items from the two pages until I found what was triggering the error. It was an compound vector item. Once I removed that, the page prints fine.

  • ID CS5 Print Booklet - page orientation isn't printing correctly

    I've been printing the same eight page booklet in CS4 with the print booklet feature just fine for a while now. I opened the file in CS5 and could not get the file to orient correctly. The first spread is always correct, then subsequent pages are cut off because they're printed landscape on a portrait sheet. Page setup is set to 12x18 and the preview looks correct in the dialogue, but when it processes through my rip the pages are altered.
    Note, I saved the file down as .idml and reopened in CS4 and it printed perfectly, just as I remembered.
    Is anyone else having this problem?

    I have the same problem printing to a Canon ImageRUNNER C1 via a Q1 RIP server from a Mac using OS 10.6.
    The main issue is printing in Landscape. When the print is duplexed, single-sided, or booklet - if the print has multiple pages printed in Landscape orientation it rotates the second page (and every page after) 90 degree from the first page.
    This makes booklet-style printing impossible without printing to PDF and duplex printing out of Acrobat.
    The curious thing is: 1- The first page is ALWAYS fine. Every page after that rates and 2- Portrait pages print fine, even duplexed. If I print a four page booklet with two pages duplexed on each side of a Portrait-oriented page I have no problem.
    If this is a driver error it is specific to InDesign CS5 as the files print fine out of Acrobat, InDesign CS4, and even InDesign CS3 - if I save it back that far.
    Canon claims it's not their issue and doesn't think it's worth any type of driver update.
    Also, when the same file is printed to a lesser quality color printer I can duplex in landscape without problems.

  • When I print a PDF it always prints as a booklet, how can I print 1 full page?

    When I print a PDF it always prints as a booklet, how do I print a full page?

    In the Print dialog box you should be able to indicate which page you want to print and that page will print.  For instance, if you are viewing page 4, in the Print dialog, select "current page" and page 4 prints. This won't work if your page is actually a 2-page spread.  What size is the booklet?

  • Seperating 2-page spreads for printing?

    I recently have had trouble with printing my booklets.
    I am using 11x17 documents and wish to seperate 2 page spreads for printing?
    When i currently print it prints the cover page, page 1, seperate but combines the other spreads, with 2 pages per actual printed page.
    I seperate the files one by one for printing currently but i want t0 know if i have to do that, because it wastes valuable time.
    Is it a problem with the way i am exporting the file?
    Please give me your advice as I am open to other ideas to reaching my main goal.

    When you see two pages side-by-side in an InDesign file which is set up with facing pages, that's just how it looks on the screen. If none of the items on your pages span across both pages of a spread, you can output a multi-page PDF, and each page will be independent. In fact, you could have something that crosses the spine on a spread and still output to single pages, but that's not really the point. The double-page part they are talking about is the ability for you to output (for example) pages 2 and 3, which are side-by-side, as a single page that is twice as wide as a normal single page. They also don't want 32 different one-page PDFs for a 32-page book. Neither of these will be a problem if you export your PDF normally. If you see facing pages in the actual PDF, that may be (probably is) just a viewing option. All of the pages will be singles.
    The point I want to make is that you don't have to override the facing pages to make a multi-page PDF.

Maybe you are looking for
