Quick Tip: Using the Print Booklet Feature in Adobe InDesign

The Print Booklet feature lets you create printer spreads for professional printing. For example, if you've created an 8-page booklet, the pages appear in numerical order as you're designing. Printer spreads are used so that when the booklet is printed, the pages end up in the correct order after the pages are folded and the booklet is bound.

Thank you very much for this tutorial. Do you have a longer video explaining this booklet exported into a pdf and also how to import two A5 single pages side by side, into an A4 spread in indesign. You have a new subscriber to your channel.

Exactly what I wanted to know😊 thank you so much

Ok, thank you. You've answered half of my issue. But isn't there a way to print double-sided without having to put half the spreads of the booklet back in to print the other side?

[sheesbinshahid]

Very useful it really helped me out. Thank you.

Great video! Quick question:I have printed my booklet using "Print Booklet" to a post script file so I can save it as a pdf file. In the "Print Booklet" preview, everything looks good... the pages fit the paper size, etc, but when I open the ps file in Acrobat, all the right sides of my pages are cut off... the pdf file is coming out portrait, when it should be landscape. I can't fix it from the InDesign side, and I can't change the page orientation in the pdf file. Help!!! TIA.

[thebaybaygranary]

How about if I'm using an A3 printer? Thank you for the sweet tutorial it helps alot!

[lauratomasello]

this is brilliant but I need to save it in that format so I can send it off the the printers, how do i save it to pdf in that special order? please help!

[dougieladd]

Great thanks Cheryl... is this something you would NEED to do before sending to the printer as a PDF? I have this exact document with facing pages.

I missed where to look to set the number of pages in your booklet (I want 12 pages) and where do I set page size to 5.5x8.5? Thanks for a good video and the additional info you may send me. ek
