    Here is video on how to impose/print a booklet via Adobe InDesign via the the Print Booklet feature. I also show how to install the Adobe PDF .ppd file for printing.
    ****Update****
    Adobe has removed the link to the .ppd file on the Adobe website. Instead I'm adding it to my Google Drive as a link you can access and download below.
    Here is the link to the .ppd file:

    Thank you so much, this video is very helpful. I have created a booklet in indesign itself, therefore i can skip the first step and go straight to 'print booklet'. I am using the latest version of Indesign on windows and find that 'print booklet' lets me create a PDF directly (so i don't need to use distiller either). Everything appears to work great apart from I am a little concerned by the finished artwork file size!
    There are many bitmap files in my brochure (they are 300dpi and not scaled up) and if i use the 'Export' dialog and remove any bitmap compression, i get a file that isn't saddle-stitch and is reassuringly large file or 116MB. However when i use the 'Print booklet' method, it doesn't give me any bitmap compression options to choose from, and the file it generates is only 4MB. This is worryingly small, how can i be certain that the bitmaps are going to be of high enough quality for the printer?

      In Acrobat open up preflight. There is a check that will show any images below 300dpi. That way you know for sure.

    Dude, I can't thank you enough! This video helped me a lot! I have a question: If I want to impose a very large book that I need to stitch it up in small booklets to then join them in a book, should I do this but instead of selection "all pages" select just the pages for that small booklet and then repeat this process for the remaining booklets that compose the large book? I can't think of a better way, but if you have other suggestion I would appreciate it! Thank you again!

    • @miketheprintman
      @miketheprintman  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I’m a little confused. So you want to break the book into sections? The print booklet feature is going to treat the entire document as one book. I would split my InDesign document into smaller booklets. Then combined, so that way the pages stay in order. However I would recommend always printing one copy first to stitch and test to make sure all pagination is correct.

      Can you simply rotate the pages in Acrobat after export? You can tell it to rotate only even or odd pages at a time.

    hi, thanks for this! so if i have text or graphics overlapping the spreads, does that cause any problemns?

    • @miketheprintman
      @miketheprintman  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Shouldn’t be a problem. The print booklet feature will keep any information that spreads across intact. I will say to avoid doing so unless it’s the center spread because it’s hard to line up text during the bindery process if they are on two different sheets.
