Change default page order when printing booklet
Hi,
When you print a booklet, Publisher puts automatically pages in the appropriate order (ex: for a 8 pages booklet, the order is (8, 1), (2, 7), (6, 3), (4, 5), and each couple of pages are on a same sheet). But we want to create the same booklet in PDF format, so we need a sequential order : (1), (2, 3), (4, 5), (6, 7), (8), just like what's show by Publisher when in edition mode. We create PDF by printing on a PDF virtual printer (pdf995). But we can't tell Publisher to output in our needed order. Do you have any idea ? Thanks in advance. -- Zixiong WANG |

Mary having the full fair dinkum version of Adobe Acrobat is not going to
help. You will have to change the Page Setup from Booklet to Normal. -- "If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there!" |

Change default page order when printing booklet
So it's a problem of printer, not that of Publisher ?
The printer prints what's sent by Publisher, if Publisher sends pages 8 and 1 for a sheet, how can the printer prints other way ? even it's the "real McCoy" ? By the way, we have also PDFwriter from Adobe, that don't solves the problem. Thanks. "Mary Sauer" a écrit dans le message de ...

Mary,
I hate to bring this up, but PP will let you create a pdf for printing or viewing, IOW, 1-8, 7-2, etc., or 1, 2, 3, etc. Plus, it's a lot cheaper than Acrobat. Mike Mary Sauer wrote: Yes, get the real McCoy... i.e. Adobe Acrobat |

Zixiong the real McCoy died a long time ago.
Having the full version of Adobe does not fix this issue. -- "If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there!" |

Mike PagePlus has the option to print as straight pages or as Booklet form.
The other thing that PagePlus beats everything hands down, is in converting from paper to PDF and then to web. PagePlus retains all the columns and formatting perfectly. http://www.serif.com/pageplus/pageplus9/index.asp -- "If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there!" |

I have Acrobat, when I need a booklet in a PDF, I simply choose eBook. it prints
exactly the way Publisher has it laid out. I have the advantage of a duplexer, however you do have the option of odd-even printing. There are so many options in Acrobat... -- Mary Sauer MS MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://www.mvps.org/msauer/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Mike Koewler" wrote in message ...
