If your client wants to see spread pages at the A5 size, you can set the PDF initial display preference of your single page PDF to two-up continuous (File> Properties> Initial View). You probably do not need to create spread pages at the A5 size, send single pages to your printer at the reduced size (70.7%), they will impose it into printer's spreads. I'm so green but trying to not let it beat me But really need some A-Z HELP as I have committed myself to doing this Charity booklet - not sure why as it's giving me greyer hair.) Somehow I need to rescale (I think)? and fit one A4 to each page of the A5 of the double spread. Printing - 3 first pages I tested are portrait A5 (using the page tool etc), (they didn't print on landscape so I don't know if they fit) Rest in landscape with 1 A5 page spread out over the page. *Outcome for printing: Document Setup - Facing page unticked, Page size A4, Landscape,īleed Slugs 0. (I think I have to do more as this scaling to A5 doesn't fit the A5 page properly.) On the Document I have highlighted a page (on the right pages or links) Page tool, Liquid page, Scale, A5. I have saved a test that I am playing round with (imagine that will be the way I post out the Hard copy.) Once I have finalised the A4 and saved the PDF, I then Save a copy and resize for the booklet?! *I now have been asked to do the same as an A5 Booklet. *I have an A4 Document that I send out as a PDF and works extremely well. I am trying to put together a Bulletin in 2 ways. Distill that and you should be good! The only issue your end user will have to deal with is defining how to print the double-sided, as it will require selecting short edge binding to keep the pages the right direction.Hi. NOW, print your Booklet, selecting the Print Preset you just defined, and make your PS file. (If you had the Adobe PDF 9.0, you would select that PPD instead). Also, make sure to select a landscape orientation as appropriate. Select Postscript File, then any possible PPDs will now be listed. So, in InDesign, create a print setup (File Print Setup > Define) and create one for your A4 size, like so: The Adobe PDF 9.0 allows you to define these larger/custom paper. For instance, you couldn't use the PPD for an A4 printer to define a larger A3 page. The important thing is that the PPD you choose needs to have the capability of the paper size you want. You can find a link for a downooad of that and instruction to install in this forum in older posts. (If you didn't have a Postcript, it's a good idea to download the PPD for Acrobat (Adobe PDF 9.0) and use that. you can use that printer's driver (and its PPD) to generate the PS. You have a Postscript Printer (your HP), so that's good. So it's rather a lot of hassle and it's better to just prepare it as a single page PDF - as already suggested. and when A4 sheet will exit A3 printer - it is important to rotate it correctly - or you'll have front and back upside down. or one will be for A3 paper and 2nd for A4 paper - Landscape or Portrait. Then there is a case of what is the max size printer can print - if it can handle A3 - then user will most likely have at least two trays - one for Portrait and another for Landscape A4 loaded paper. With InkJet printers - printed side would have to be ALWAYS up - as in InkJet printers, paper is always doing "C" path. If manual tray is located at the back - still "S" path but more flat than from the tray - paper would have to be loaded "face up". In most modern Laser printers, toner cartridge is located above the path of the paper - so if you use tray for "manual duplex" - you would need to put already printed side "face up" - paper will most likely do "S" path and printed side is almost always "face down".īut if user would use side/manual tray - located at the front - printed side would have to be "face down" - paper will do "C" path. You could create PDF from your PS file with booklet'ed pages - but then not every printer have automatic duplex option - so if Elderly user would have to perform "manual duplexing" - they would have to be quite advanced users.
