Setting compression and resolution in Print Booklet

I'm testing Print Booklet for InDesign CS6 on Windows XP, using Acrobat 8.
I can't find the settings for compression (none) and resolution (288ppi) in the InDesign
dialogue.
I can set these parameters directly in the parameter list for the 'printer' Adobe PDF,
but these actual settings are not honored. Especially I'm getting always JPEGs instead
of no compression.
These are the most important windows:
Sorry for intermediate confusion.

InBooklet SE – an imposition module in InDesign CS2
Print Booklet – an imposition module in later versions, here CS6
IDImpose – an optional imposition module: http://idimposer.com/
Peter, according to your post #3 one might assume that Print Booklet is
working as expected, if the operator follows some simple rules.
No, it doesn't, but I agree to your statement
Print Booklet to PDF isn't really a recommended workflow
I've updated CS6 for the newest state, it's now ID 8.01.
There are a couple of problems, using Print Booklet for 'printing' as PDF:
a) Settings for Resolution and Compression cannot be found in InDesign dialogues.
    External settings in the 'printer' Adobe PDF are ignored.
b) Some Encapsulated PostScript components are considered as buggy, though
    Export to PDF without Print Booklet for the same pages is flawless, and furtheron
    these components themselves are correctly interpreted by other programs
    (MathType, Photoshop, PSAlter...).
This is the error log:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[Page: 1]%%
%%[Page: 2]%%
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: makefont ]%%
Stack:
[448.0 0.0 0.0 -448.0 0.0 0.0]
-file-
-mark-
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Obviously, Print Booklet uses the somewhat outdated workflow via PostScript
and Distiller. This is not generally wrong (worked pretty good with PageMaker),
but here it fails.
Now a few words about IDImposer, which I had tested:
This program creates an imposed version of an InDesign file by generating one PDF
for each page. These pages should be uncompressed and not downsampled, which
is unnecessary for InBooklet SE, where we have only links to already existing
components. The new ID doc contains one PDF per page in the imposed page structure.
Therefore nothing is editable by InDesign. The following Export to PDF leads normally
to correct documents with working Links for URLs (garbled in just one case).
This is obviously not an optimal substitute for InBooklet SE.
Thanks for the discussion.

  • Circular and oval cropping at set size and resolution?

    I know how to use the M tool to create circles and ovals and i know you can set that to certain dimensions, but that doesn't do everything I need.
    How do you crop circles and ovals out of a photo, at a set size (for example, a 1 inch circle ) at a set resolution for printing?  What I need to do is crop circular and oval images out of a photo, say at 250 dpi, then paste them onto a blank white page for printing.
    So if I've got let's say a photo that's 14x10 inches at 300dpi, I want to be able to go in, crop out an oval or circle, with as much or as little of the photo that I can or want to, setting that automatically to a certain dimension and dpi, then paste it into a blank white page I've already created at that same d
    When finished I'd have maybe 20 or 30 images on a page that I can flatten all the layers and print.
    I can't find a way to set size and resolution with anything other than the regular square crop tool.

    You can make an action and use it as one step automation to achieve that on an initial selection.
    Step by step instructions:
    With the Elliptical Marquee Tool, make the desired selection on a image.
    Open the Actions panel (Window > Actions (Alt+F9), from its menu at the top right or corresponding buttons at the bottom, choose New Action, and in the dialog that appears press the Record button.
    From the Image menu, choose Crop.
    From the Selection menu, choose Inverse (Ctrl+Shift+I)
    Press the d key on your keyboard to reset the foreground/background color swatches.
    Press Ctrl + Delete keys on your keyboard to fill with white.
    From the Image menu, choose Image Size (Ctrl+Alt+I), make sure the Resample Image is checked, and in the Document Size section enter the desired dimensions and resolution and press OK.
    In the Actions Panel press the Stop Recording button.
    Now you can copy or drag the image to another image.
    For the next image make the oval selection, go to the Actions panel, select the actions you created above, and press the play button. You can also create a keyboard shortcut in the action's property accessible by double clicking the action.
    The creation of this action assumes that in the final image you will be composing oval images on white background without overlapping their rectangular bounding boxes. If you plan to overlap them then the action must be modified to make the image a transparent layer and delete outside the oval instead of filling with white.

  • How do I set up pixels and resolution to print out my illustration?

    I want to print my illustration which I'm going to paint on Photoshop 5 to the size of 8x10(inch) at Walgreens.com.  How do I set up the pixels and resolutions in Photoshop to start with?
    There was a guideline at Walgreens Photo site, and it says "Minimum Recommended Image Resolution for 8x10 (inch) is 900x720 pixels."  But when I set up the width and height of pixels to 900x720 and resolution at 360 and then painted there, the print outcome was chopped off at top and bottom (I selected 8x10 print size.)
    How can I set up the right way so I can print right?
    Thank you!
    -Mitama

    OK, it says minimum requirements. Which makes sense, the quality would be horrible below 112 ppi.
    8" x 200ppi = 1600px
    10" x 200ppi = 2000px
    900px / 8" = 112.5ppi
    720px / 10" = 72ppi
    Can you see in the above math why part of the picture would be chopped off.
    Lets do it this way:
    900px / 72ppi = 12.5"
    720px / 72ppi = 10"
    900px / 360ppi = 2.5"
    720px / 360pp = 2"
    10" X 360ppi = 3600px
    8" X 360ppi = 2880px
    If you specify ppi you must specify the physical dimensions (inches) Especially when the printed paper is a known variable. The pixel dimensions they mentioned was a guideline not a requirement. They only wanted to make sure the quality did not fall below that value.

  • Facebook and Youtube Video Setting Compression and Tools?

    Hi Folks,
    I'd like to start putting our Live band videos up on Facebook and YouTube, and I was wondering what the latest trends are in that direction.
    I have the freebies MPEG Streamclip, ffmpegX, as well as some of the the older Macintosh products Final Cut Express HD 3.0, and iMovie 6.0.3, and also the Latest QuickTime Pro 7.6.4..
    I know that there is a lot of information out there as well as misinformation, (or old information) and I was just wondering what the best ways to get the best compression setting, the best sounding audio and looking video up to these sites.
    Thank You For Your Time,

    in case, your source is HDef, I prefer a 1280x720/30fps/h264/max. 6MBit/sec conversion.. (=you can set FC/e or iMovie in the Export with Quicktime/Options) YT cares for approbiate download (=smaller for older computers) ..

  • CS6 - my print booklet presets keep disappearing

    I just recently installed CS6 on my computer. I had to set up all of my print booklet presets again (I use them frequently to print booklets on our printer). I saved them, just as I had previously with CS5.
    And for awhile, all was right with the world. Then today, I tried to print a booklet and all of my presets have disappeared.
    On top of all that, I have noticed that some of the dialogs that I turned off (you know, the check mark that says "Don't ask me this again") have been reappearing as well, on occasion. I can't help but think these two are connected.
    Any ideas? I also can't seem to find where these presets would be saved in the program folders so I could reload them in the Print Presets dialog box.

    I didn't reset my preferences, I know that for a fact. And even if I did, I would've had to do it about half a dozen times since that's how often my dialog boxes keep being reset (not even talking about the print presets). I think my prefernces file keeps getting corrupted for some reason. I don't print booklets on a daily basis, maybe monthly, so this has probably happened at least 3 times since the beginning of this month, again just judging by the amount of times my dialogs reset.
    And believe me, to reset my preferences without knowing it would be a feat indeed. It's hard enough for me to get my fingers on those buttons fast enough when I mean to reset preferences, I can't imagine doing it accidentally.
    I've been reading some other posts on similar issues, I guess my best bet is to reset my print presets AGAIN and figure out how to save them as a copy somewhere safe that isn't in the InDesign folder.

  • Printing booklet duplex on 6500a+ printer not working

    Printing booklet in duplex on 6500a+ printer with the following print settings is not working. I have no problem printing this same booklet duplex on the 6500 base printer.
    The problem wasn't the 6500a+, it was MS Word 2007. With MS Word 2010, it printed the booklet in duplex just fine. Here's the matrix:
    MS Word 2007 and HP 6500, prints booklet in duplex automatically.
    MS Word 2007 and HP 6500A+, must duplex manually.
    MS Word 2010 and HP 6500, must duplex manually.
    MS Word 2010 and HP 6500A+, prints booklet in duplex automatically.

  • Print Booklet - OS X - PS to PDF with Preview, and a mysterious line?

    Hi,
    I'm preparing something for print, and I've run into a couple of questions I'd love some advice on.
    The printshop wants the A5 booklet as a A4+bleed PDF, so I'm producing 'Print Booklet' to a Postscript with the PDF PPD and using Apple's Preview to convert to PDF. Is Preview's conversion going to cause me any problems, for example any unwanted compression/other unpleasant surprises?
    Upon conversion Preview is showing a hairline white gap between the now combined first and last page (see image below). In the original document the purple-ness extends beyond the 3mm bleed on the respective edge of both pages. I was wondering if anyone might have an idea why this would be the case?
    Thanks in advance,
    James

    Hi, Your problem may be the creep setting. Set it to 0.  Also, I often encounter white hairlines (object boxes)  that come & go depending on the zoom setting. I've learned to trust they do not print at the print shop.
    I have a questions to add to this.....
    I just upgraded from SC2 to SC6 and swtiched from PC to Mac OS Lion (10.7). I'm having trouble with print booklet settings - I'd like to set to device independent, but it  won't seem to output on anything other than letter size; the settings to change paper size on device independent is greyed out). It will only print on letter size, meaning I only get the even pages of the booklet spreads. I too am a control freak and like to make sure everything is lined up perfectly before sending off to printer. I can get it to work if I use my home printer ppd (whimpy inkjet), but feel uncomfortable having it be dependent on that ppd as opposed to the professional printer ppd.
    Our former printer imposed the pages from a pdf file... but our current printer wants it in booklet.
    Thanks -

  • Print Booklet PDF resolution settings

    I have a question in regards to the pdf settings when I go to print a booklet in indesign.
    I go to print the booklet, and go into the pdf printer settings dialog box, there is no option to select low, medium, or high resolution or to optimize.
    When I print my booklet, even if my resolution on the bitmaps in the indesign document are high, like 300, the print booklet (pdf settings) automatically reduces the quality of the bitmaps.
    I have researched and used the help menu and cannot find any way around this or to change these printer settings for pdfs. This is only an issue with the print booklet options.
    Any information or inquiries would be greatly appreciated.
    Danielle

    I'm not sure where you are looking. To set up the PDF printer you need to go beyond the print setup dialog one more level to get to the driver detup (on Mac that's a button called printer setup, I think, and on windows it's a button at the bottom of the dialog called setup). The sequence is Print Booklet > Print Settings (whcih takes you esentially to the standard print dialog where you set page size and orientation, etc) > Setup (or Printer Setup) to pen the PDF Printer options. You need to pick a preset from thje dropdown labeled Default or go into the driver and choose new settings by clicking edit.

  • Is there a setting to make a PDF print with no background and black text?

    I made a nice booklet that has colorful blocks in the background and sometimes white text and sometimes black text. We are not going to print it, it is just going to be a PDF on our website. Can I set it up so that it always prints without the backgrounds and makes all the text black?
    I just don't want people to have to print huge fields of colr if they end up printing this out on a little ink jet with expensive and finicky cartridges...
    BT

    There are is no as such specified setting for customer or reader printer, because it depends on the printer setting of customer. However, you can mentioned that, if any one want to print book as black text, follow this setting http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/print-black-white-acrobat-reader.html

  • Problem when printing booklets prints pages 1,2 and 11 as if I wants to print all

    I am using XP and 2000 MS word
    I am having a problem when printing booklets from time to time. I get it ready to print in booklet form with 12 pages and my printer gives me the options. “Print all”  “current page”  “selection” or “pages”  Because it is booklet I want to print the first 4 pages to be folded and glued as a small book. When I inter 1-4 as the example shows some times it prints OK but about a week later it prints pages 1,2 and 11 as if it wants to print all. I thought it was the printer but think it could be in some setting of the word program or my computer it self.

    Also does this (i.e. prints web pages over several pages despite changing settings) on my laptop at work with an HP printer. This started when I upgraded to Firefox 9.0.1.

  • How to set the Codec, Frame rate, Bit rate, and Resolution for iMovie 10.0.5

    To upload a video to Vimeo, I need to be able to set the codec, frame rate, bit rate and resolution to make sure the file is compressed to under 500 MB. Where in iMovie 10.0.5 am I given the option to adjust these settings?
    Thank you!

    Another question is in continuous mode, NI DAQmx uses Samples per channel to determine the buffer size. But according to the website you specified, it says if the acquisition is continuous (sample mode on the DAQmx Timing.vi is set to Continuous Samples), NI-DAQmx will allocate a buffer according to the following table. And for sample rate between 100 - 10,000 S/s, the buffer size is 10 kS. So if I set the sample rate to be 5000 S/s, and set the Samples per channel to be 20000, then what exactly the buffer size is? 20 kS or 10 kS?
    Thanks.

  • Print Booklet and tabloid

    Hello!
    I have a document all set up but print booklet automatically matches the pages, as in page 1 with the last page and so on.. for easier printing. However, im working with letter size pages.. so for the print booklet to do that for me.. i have to set up the page size as tabloid.. however.. when i go to the setup options, in the dropdown list there isn't a tabloid option and for some reason it wont let me manually set up the page size....
    I am using InDesign CS4... does any1 know how to solve this??

    Does the selected printer actually support tabloid?
    Also, not all printers call tabloid tabloid. Look for 11 x 17 or Ledger in the list, too.

    I have set up my airprint wifi printer which works perfectly with the HP eprint app. However, when i view an email and click on the top right arrow button and select "PRINT" on my ipad nothing happens????...
    Also, when im viewing websites and i find something i wish to print, same again, if i simply click on the print option at the top right of the screen nothing happens... the only way I can print is if i copy the weblink of the site page then click on my HP eprint app and paste the web link, then select print, it prints off fine.. but its it such a pain to keep copying and pasting links or screen dumping emails just to print...

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them.

  • 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.

  • Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

    Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

    Ok, look at your files in Photoshop. What is the profile assigned to them? You can find this out by going to the Status bar at the bottom, clicking on the right-pointing triangle and choosing document Profile from the list.
    Then in Windows, go to your Control Panel > Color Management and add sRGB (if it isn't there) and select it as your default profile.
    I hope that will work.
