It is still perfectly possible to generate PDF files from the Print Booklet command in OS 10.8.x and 10.9.x. Unusable for OS 10.x.Īnd, more relevant, the solution. Acrobat does not do page imposition.Īnswer #14: The link points to a PS driver from 1998.
So, it is not an ID failure.Īnswer #05: The feature still works, see bellow.Īnswer #12: This is wrong. Firstly, some corrections:Īnswer #03: The absence of PDF virtual printer is a Mac OS issue that made Adobe remove this feature since Acrobat X. I'm a bit surprised with the information posted here. Another similar product is PDF Snake (Windows only) available from. One such set of Acrobat plug-in products are Quite Imposing and Quite Imposting Plus (available for both MacOS and Windows) from Quite Software.
If you need more complex imposition, there are a number of third party Acrobat plug-ins that do a very professional job of imposition while maintaining color management, live transparency, and even the PDF file's PDF/X status. Works perfectly and costs you nothing extra. For simple booklet printing, let's say two 8.5"x11" pages on an 11"x17" sheet or even two 5.5"x8.5" pages on an 8.5"x11" sheet, you can accomplish this via the booklet printing capability in the Adobe Reader or Acrobat print dialogue. (For example, often it is much more economical to print multiple pages and spreads per single sheet, requiring more complex imposition that would ever be possible with InDesign's Print Booklet facility!) That is part of the service that you should expect from your print service provider!!!įor your own personal printing on a less sophisticated laser or inkjet printer, for example, you have other choices. The correct way to deal with making booklets or imposition in general is to directly export PDF from InDesign in logical page number order, preferably using the PDF/X-4 settings with any necessary bleed areas specified.įor commercial printing, it is the responsibility of the print service provider to do the imposition of the PDF file in a manner appropriate for the printed piece and for the equipment being used. Why? Creating PDF in that manner (including the suggestion of “Was DYP”) results in a very poor quality PDF file with no color management and flattened transparency. At Adobe, we would most strongly recommend that you don't use the internal Print Booklet facility at all.
