  • The Print Booklet feature lets you create printer spreads for professional printing. For example, if you've created an 8-page booklet, the pages appear in numerical order as you're designing. Printer spreads are used so that when the booklet is printed, the pages end up in the correct order after the pages are folded and the booklet is bound.

    Great video! Quick question:I have printed my booklet using "Print Booklet" to a post script file so I can save it as a pdf file. In the "Print Booklet" preview, everything looks good... the pages fit the paper size, etc, but when I open the ps file in Acrobat, all the right sides of my pages are cut off... the pdf file is coming out portrait, when it should be landscape. I can't fix it from the InDesign side, and I can't change the page orientation in the pdf file. Help!!! TIA.

    I'm having some problems with this feature. I keep getting "The active document uses multiple page sizes. Print Booklet works only with documents that use a consistent page size." I've checked my document size, all pages are the same. I went online and others have had this issue, but worked around by copying to another document, but even when I do this I get the same error message." Please help!

    Ok, thank you. You've answered half of my issue. But isn't there a way to print double-sided without having to put half the spreads of the booklet back in to print the other side?

    Thank you very much for this tutorial. Do you have a longer video explaining this booklet exported into a pdf and also how to import two A5 single pages side by side, into an A4 spread in indesign. You have a new subscriber to your channel.

  • @Hypastpist

    will this automatically sort itself out when printing larger stuff like portfolios? (A4 sized pages) directly from the indesign file?

  • @MrPatrickBatemann

    Can you do this for a 500 page book?

    • @MichaelDerryGameitect
      @MichaelDerryGameitect 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I know this response is very late but I'll try to answer anyway. 500 pages would be too many to fold in a single stack so you'd just need to do them in smaller groups and put each group side-by-side in the correct order once they're printed. I don't know the appropriate number of pages in a group. Maybe try 16 or 24 ( 4 or 6 pieces of paper) in each stack. You'd then glue or sew each stack to a spine. Look up tutorials on book binding for details. I think this tutorial should be accurate for how to output to a printer to start the process, though. It seems to work properly with smaller page ranges than the full layout based on the project I'm working on.
