Change default page order when printing booklet
But in my case, in the generated PDF file, the pages are already in 8-1, 2-7
order (2 pages on one sheet). I suppose that your method works if there is only one page / sheet. Am I right ? "Mary Sauer" a écrit dans le message de ... 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 ... 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.

Change default page order when printing booklet
I didn't know PagePlus. It replaces Publisher or works together with
Publisher (as a virtual printer for exemple) ? "°°°MS°Publisher°°°" a écrit dans le message de ... 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.

It's a completely different DTP program, though it has some similarities
to Pub. Mike Zixiong WANG wrote: I didn't know PagePlus. It replaces Publisher or works together with Publisher (as a virtual printer for exemple) ?

Change default page order when printing booklet
Maybe I misunderstood the goal. I thought the goal was to print a booklet
from a pdf file. If you want to print sequential pages not in booklet form, change the original file from booklet to sequential sheets. If the obstacle is you are starting with a pdf file and want pages in sequential pages, then the Tools that comes with PDF-XChange would do the trick. -- Don -------- Vancouver, USA - One of the great cities in one of the 45+ countries in the Americas!

It's available at: http://www.docu-track.com "Zixiong WANG" wrote in message ... 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 |

Change default page order when printing booklet
Ok, so I have to choose Normal instead of booklet format.
Yes, in normal format, I can choose what ever page order, but I get another problem : I can't print two A5 pages on one A4 sheet without page reduction. When my document is of A4 format, I need only choose "2 pages on one sheet" in one of Acrobote Distiller's option, then all my A4 pages are reduced by 50% and 2 pages are put on one A4 sheet. With my A5 page format, I'v tried all combinaisons of page and paper orientation, when I successfully put 2 A5 pages on one A4 sheet, they got reduced. So my problem is : When using booklet format (A5 when closed, A4 when open), I get the good page size (A5), 2 A5 pages on one A4 sheet, but not the good page order. When using normal format (A5 pages), I get good page order, but I can't get the good page size when I print two A5 pages on one A4 sheet. Thanks in advance for your help.

Change default page order when printing booklet
A small child turns to Ed, and exclaims: "Look! Look! A post from
Zixiong WANG !"... With my A5 page format, I'v tried all combinaisons of page and paper orientation, when I successfully put 2 A5 pages on one A4 sheet, they got reduced. You need to select A5 page size under File Page Setup Printer and Paper. If Distiller can't do it properly then, then you might need to use something like FinePrint 2000 from www.fineprint.com -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://www.mvps.org/the_nerd/ Before reading this message, view the disclaimer: http://mvps.org/the_nerd/disclaim.htm |

Change default page order when printing booklet
I'v set 148x210 (A5) in page size, A4 in paper size of printer. Tried
portait or landscape, one or 2 page per sheet, etc. When you want to print 2 pages on one sheet, you can : - tell Publisher to arrange pages or - tell printer to arrange pages The problem is that Publisher has bundled settings : with booklet, 2 pages are on one sheet, but page order is fixed ; with normal format, order is flexible, but you can only arrange to print 2 copies of the SAME page on one sheet, but not consequentive pages. When you tell PDF virtual printer to put 2 pages on one sheet, it operates a 50% reduction on your pages. Can you tell FinePrint to assemble 2 pages output by Publisher on one final sheet ?

Zixiong WANG !"... I'v set 148x210 (A5) in page size, A4 in paper size of printer. Tried portait or landscape, one or 2 page per sheet, etc. I know you have. Which is why I said to set **A5** page size in File Page Setup Printer and Paper. If you do that, then Acrobat or FinePrint or anything apart from Publisher will assemble them two-to-a-page. Distiller was reducing them because each A4 page had an A5 page slap bang in the middle. So when it stuck two-to-a-page, then it reduced each A4 down to an A5, leaving the gaps and the reductions. If you use the A5 page sie in your printer settings, then it will come out in a format assemblable by other applications. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://www.mvps.org/the_nerd/ Before reading this message, view the disclaimer: http://mvps.org/the_nerd/disclaim.htm |
