Default Printing a brochure on letter size paper

Hello All,

Does anyone know how to convert a brochure to letter size paper and have it
automatically fill the sheet rather than leave space around the outside of
the content?

I am trying to flip the document to a pdf using "pdf creator" and the
brochure appears as it would be printed on the paper with all the pages out
of order.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Are you wanting to print to the edge of the stock? This will depend on your
printer's margin limitations. This article will help you determine your
printer's limitation.

You shouldn't have this issue when printing to a PDF. Are you sure you aren't
creating a booklet? Brochures usually are a front and a back. I don't see how
pages could be out of order.

Yes Mary, I used the wrong term. Booklet is what I am trying to flip to pdf.

I answered my own question. For those of you also having troubles, do the
following;

1. Change paper size to custom and set the booklet size paper
2. Once I flip to the PDF Creator printer driver I had to go into the
advanced settings to set the paper size.

Thanks for all the posts that lead me in the right direction!
