Problem: Selecting 2 individual pages from a 28page doc to print as a a spread...

I have been using InDesign today to print off a 28page booklet. I have my document setup per screen grab 1 attached. As I need to print one sheet at a time (in order to turn over to print next spread), I need to select pages in particular that I want to print.
When going to print, I setup my printer to use A3 paper size, printing landscape. I want to select p.28&1 to print off as my cover. This however does not print off as 1 spread (even though I have selected to print as spreads). How this appears, is to print off 2 pages, 1 sheet with Page 28 and a blank, the other sheet with page 1 and a blank - see screen grab 2 attached. I am unsure how to print these side by side?
The reason I am printing this way as opposed to selecting 'Print booklet' as I need to rotate sheets of paper, re-load to tray and individually print off spreads in order to make up this booklet. Can anyone assist or advise how to sort this? It prints all other pages as paginate spreads if I select it, just not the first and last pages which are currently single panels in the ID doc.
Some guidance would be highly appreciated.

There are a number of options...
Use Print Booklet to print to postscript file using the ADBPDF9.PPD printer description, then distill to PDF and print from Acrobat. See Creating PostScript Files in Snow Leopard for Older Print Workflows | InDesignSecrets
Export to PDF and use Actobat's booklet function,
Use a script like Dave Saunders' basic booklet script (http://pdsassoc.com/downloads/Buildbooklet.zip) to impose, then export spreads to PDF and print from Acrobat, or one of Sterling Computing's older scripts: Steve Sterling legacy ID imposition scripts
Use an imposition plugin like IDImposer: Overview | IDImposer

  • Emailing individual Pages from a Pages doc?

    I am mebership secretary of an organisation. Next month I have to send individual invoices to over 100 members. to create personalised invoces, I set up the invoice in Pages and then used Numbers to merge individual members' names, addresses, etc into this document.
    Last year I was working on a PC and with Word and Excel and there was an option to email individual pages from the Word doc. It was easy and quick to send out all the invoices.
    However, in Pages, it only offers merge to a new document or to the printer. Even if there was a was a way of being able to quickly separate each page (ie individual invoice) from the one Pages doc, I could individually send the emails, but it looks as if separating the pages will be long and laborious.
    It has to be easy and straightforward - ie not using Apple script (if at all possible), as whoever takes over this role from me - and who may not be so computer savvy, will need to be able to do this job easily.
    Grateful for any suggestions.

    s,
    Go ahead and Print the Pages document to PDF > Open in Preview.
    Make sure that you are viewing the thumbnails in the Sidebar.
    1. Click on a page thumbnail in the Sidebar of the PDF document, visually confirm the content, Command-C to Copy.
    2. File > New From Clipboard
    3. File > Mail Document.
    Repeat steps 1-3 for each page you wish to mail.

  • How do you select individual items from within a group?

    Hi, All.
    New poster. Forgive me if I miss any forum etiquette.
    Currently using Indesing CS6 on Mac Osx 10.7.4
    I'm a relatively recent convert to Indesign from Quark, and one thing I seem to have continual problems with is selecting individual items from within a group.
    For example I will have a grouped item, such as price marker that is comprised of several individual items, some text boxes, some rectangles.
    I find there is no way to select a rectangle that is currently placed behind a transparent text box without ungrouping the entire item - which isn't really an option.
    The select options (slect next item below etc. just don't work)
    For any Quark users out there, the equivalent command I'm looking for is the cmd+opt+shift click through, which just worked absolutely perfectly.
    I have scoured the internet and forums looking for an answer for this, as I assumed it must be my own lack of knowledge, but I can't find an answer.
    Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi, winterm.
    Thanks for the super quick repsonse. Unfortunately that hasn't seemed to have helped me.
    That works fine as long as the grouped items are overlapping or apart, but not when items are entirely behind another item (ie, no part protruding from the group)
    The problem is that if I double click to try and get through a text box to an item that is entirely behind it, then it just switches into text edit mode for the top text box.
    If it helps, could you imagine a transparent text box that is 20x20 with red rectangle centred beneath it that is 10x10. If the 2 items are grouped I cant find any way to select through to the red rectangle without first ungrouping the two.
    Am I going mad?

  • Acrobat 8 Professional 8.1.2 crashes When selecting "Rotate Pages" from the "Document" drop down men

    When selecting "Rotate Pages" from the "Document" drop down menu Acrobat 8 Professional 8.1.2 crashes. Every time, no error mesage. Have run "Repair Acrobat Installation" with no success. Any suggestions? Thanks

    I am also experiencing the same problem only recently.  I have used the program for almost a year without any problems except now.  Adobe Acrobat 8 standard, ver 8.1.5.
    Whenever I insert pages or rotate, I get an immediate shut down window, “Adobe Acrobat 8.1 ahs encountered a problem and needs to close.
    I am no longer able to use this program.  Abobe Acrobat 5.0 still works fine.  Does anyone have a solution?  I already did a repair and reloaded the program.

  • Creating a pdf from selection of pages from multiple pdfs

    I have a secured collection of pdfs. I would like to create a new pdf from selected pages of this collection.  I think the way I'm doing it now is contorted.  I screen capture a page, create a new pdf from the clipboard and insert the new pdf to the summary pdf.  Is there a better way?  I think I'm hampered by the fact that the pdf collection is secured, so my options are limited.  I would like to select a page from a pdf and cut and paste the page into a new pdf directly without all these steps.  Thanks in advance.

    Forgot to mention, using Acrobat Professional 8.

  • Add Pages from Other ID Doc

    How does one move pages from one ID doc to another? Both are the same size, but may or may not have differing masters.
    Thank you,
    Luca

    Actually, master pages WILL travel withthe document pages, but only if the have a different name from any master page in the receiving document.
    This logic applies to swatches and styles, too. If both documents have elements with the same name, but differnt definitions, the definitions in the receiving document will be used. This can have some unexpected effects on text, especially if you use "based on" styles.

  • How to print a selection of pages from a 3000   page PDF without having to scroll two wheels! Also is there a way to set printer options for just black and white? Seems like there is a lot missing here?

    I have been using this for school work as much as possible and have come across a problem. With my lack of knowledge for apple it seems as though I can't navigate myself to a easy answer. The problem hits when I am printing pages off of a large document, and I don't want to print the entire document in color but I have no way "that I can find" for a black and white print option...
    ----- also a larger issue, when printing I need to select 1 page or even 20 pages... The time it takes to use a scroll wheel and the fact if you try and scroll fast sometimes you click off the screen then you have to start scrolling all over again... It seems like you would beagle to input from say page 1224 to 1236.... Instead I have a scroll a wheel? Just doesn't make sense...?
       Can someone please help solve this for me!

    Yes, that fixed it, thanks! I had no idea they clashed like that. I ruthlessly purged all other tables of contents, and then used Layout > Table of Contents to create a new one, and it worked.
    It made more sense after seeing in this thread that table of contents styles are more like presets or entities than styles.

  • CAN'T SELECT INDIVIDUAL PAGES IN THUMBNAILS TO RE-ARRANGE ORDER...

    I have two Pages documents with text boxes, photos etc, which I created with separate pages using 'Sections' (add Blank) so that I could change page order etc in the thumbnails preview.
    I've just opened the documents to edit/update them and both are now not allowing me to select and move the individual pages in the thumbnail viewer.
    When I try to select a page it selects the whole document, which is exactly what I wanted to avoid by creating the pages/document with 'sections'.
    Also I can't insert a new page into the document where I choose. I want to add new pages into various places in the document and can't.
    Anyone have any idea how I can make the pages individually selectable again? And be able to insert a page where I choose? Took hours to create these documents and don't want to start from scratch again.
    And does anyone know why suddenly the pages are 'locked' locked together when I specifically created the document with separate section pages? Want to avoid this happening in future; REALLY annoying!
    If this is a Pages fault it stinks. If you can't simply re-arrange pages in a Pages document by drag and drop that's BAD! Anyone know a good alternative to Pages which allows this function?
    Any solution/help/tips greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    Ok, you are expecting Pages to work in a way it doesn't. You seem to have a Word processing document and the idea is to add or delete content, not pages. Pages will adjust to commode the contetn.
    On the other hand if you can Insert > Section breaks where you want to add a page or Insert > Page break.
    Layout documents will work as you want it but you need to use text boxes to being able to add text.
    You can download the Pages User Guide from your Help menu and learn more about Pages.

  • HELP with Problem creating a page from a template Suggestions PLS.

    Nadia was kind enough to give me step by step in creating a template the right way.
    Problem is why won't it work?
    1) I create a page exactily like I want the templete to look.
    2) I save the child page as a template.
    3) I go to FILE>NEW>Page from template, look at the template on the insert on the right and it is just as I would expect it to be. The update is checked on change. I say ok and what appears on screen is I have lost all my formatting. When I look at the code, creating a page from the template causes the process to change the location of (for instance) the background image gif file from ...images/background.gif to the full location name starting the string at the C:/ all the way to ...background.gif. Therefore, the created page from the template loses all of its formatting.
    How do I fix this problem????

    Okay, here I go again with this problem step by step.
    1) Created a basic page that has a header, body and footer: www.goodimage.com and saved it as maintemp.html .
    2) I saved maintemp.html in the normal place where all the html are stored because as I was creating the template it told me I needed to save the page I was working on. So I decided to store it as an html until as it was layed out. Then I went to FILE/SAVE AS TEMPLATE storing it as maintemp.dwt.
    3) Then I created an edItable area called BODY.
    4) Then I did a FILE/SAVE AS TEMPLATE or tried to. As part of this process it wants to know if I want to UPDATE LINKS. If I do then the links will reference the template folder (but it is the DW default - hmmm what do I do) When in doubt take the default. So I did.
    5) So now I have a nice looking template called maintemp.dwt with one editablel region. So I feel pretty good until I suspect the next problem I have been fighting all along will appear. I select FILE/NEW PAGE FROM TEMPLATE and I see goodimage site, and my template called maintemp and a nice picture of it on the right screen part. Also update page when template changes is checked. Then I select to do the action.
    6)  Upcomes an unformatted screen caused by the links not being correct. I save the page as index.html to see if it will correct itself. I does not correct itself. So the index.html page is not formatted even after I closed down DW to see if that would help. It didn't. So I could go in and manually update the page but what a mess that would be.
    7) So I will go back to create a page from the maintemp.html with the UPDATE LINKS turned off. Using maintemp.html to create a template just like in step 2). When UPDATE LINKS is not selected then the template falls apart and is unusable.
    I HAVE WASTE ABOUT THREE DAYS ON THIS ONE PROBLEM AND I HAVE BUT A FEW MORE HOURS TO GET IT DONE. ONCE THIS WORKS IT WILL GO FAST. I AM TIRED OF BEING TIRED BUT MAYBE THAT IS CAUSING MY PROBLEM. ANYWAY, PLEASE HELP AS I AM AT A LOSE.

  • Problems when Creating Pages from Templates in Dreamweaver 8

    When creating new pages from templates in Dreamweaver 8(Ver
    8.0.2). The full path for images is not created
    i.e. in template the code is <img src="main_page_logo.png"
    width="814" height="172" longdesc="Main Page Logo" />
    In the new file the code should be :-
    <img src="../../Templates/main_page_logo.png" width="814"
    height="172" longdesc="Main Page Logo" />
    but only :-
    <img src="main_page_logo.png" width="814" height="172"
    longdesc="Main Page Logo" /> is in the code.
    but this does work in Version 8.0.
    Does anyone know of a setting or fix for this problem

    > Does anyone know of a setting or fix for this problem
    It was regarded as a bug in previous versions, and was fixed
    in the 8.0.2
    release. In normal circumstances, ALL links in a template
    file must be
    relative to the template document, not relative to where you
    intend to save
    the child pages. Thus, there would be no way to have a link
    in your
    template document like the first one you show, e.g.,
    <img src="whatever.png"....
    *unless* the file was actually in the Templates folder (a bad
    idea).
    In 8.0.2, you can set your PREFERENCES for the Templates
    category to NOT
    MANAGE relative links. Be aware that this may have unintended
    consequences
    for you - specifically regarding other relative links in your
    site.

  • Selecting multiple pages from menu (thumbnails)

    I installed the lasted Acrobat 9 Standard (9.4.5) update (6/19/2011) and  since then, I have been unable to select a group of pages within the  Pages menu (thumbnails) to move, delete and do some other operations.  I have always been able to do this.  Now, neither holding the  shift key nor holding the Ctrl key allows me to select multiple pages to  do anything as a group. I have to hold shift key, drag and drop and even though I do that, the results are not the same as it was before.
    Did something change with the update?  Or perhaps a particular setting was altered with the update?  Any thoughts?I

    Subject: RE: acrbugs:
    Hello Debbie,
    Thank you for taking the time to notify us of this unexpected behavior after updating to Acrobat 9.4.5. This has been identified as a bug by our Engineering team.  They are hard a work adding a fix to be included in the next update.  There is no time frame for this patch to be released.
    In the meantime if you are trying to manipulate contiguous pages you can drag the blue box around the pages and perform any action on the pages within the blue selection area. Of course this will not help to choose pages that are not nearby to each other.

  • Unable to select individual frames from entire mov file in iMovie

    I am trying to edit one long clip in iMovie from an iPhoto .mov file downloaded from a FlipCam. When I select the project from the library in iMovie, I cannot isolate frames to trim. The entire clip is repeatedly highlighted no matter what I do. I use a macbook pro. I have tried importing the file from both iPhoto and from a copy downloaded directly from the FlipCam to my desktop. I've tried some keyboard shortcuts but nothing seems to work. All frames in the file are highlighted. What am I doing wrong? I need to split this one long clip into several shorter ones for our company website and also trim some unwanted frames out.

    FrameGrabbingControl allows you to grab a frame. but you cant directly write from that frame. Do i have to create a dataSink.
    Actually i tried to do one thing that is, I used the cut program. But from that i can not repeatedly take out frame as media data.
