Choose binding method, Saddle Stitch- most common fold and stapled, Consecutive- folded pages,
Always check 'Print blank pages'
Set up- Paper Size-
Orientation depends on double page spread not single pages.
Make sure 'Page Position' is always 'Centred' -this matches up page position on either side.
Long/Short edge binding depends whether booklet is bound horizontally or vertically.
Preview allows you to check the pages, it shows what will be printed together.
If you had a 64 page document this would use 14sheets which is too many to be bound in one, so we will have to split this into 2 sections.... this can be done using intermediate files -Postscript file. Create a PostScript file by sending the work to PostScript printer.
PPD- send to correct printer.
Click 'Print' and this will save the file.
OR we can print using Pdf's
Press Quality- Best to send to printers
High Quality- Good enough for laser print
Smallest File- looks good on screen easy to email or web.
Print from Acrobat Distiller not Preview as it won't have correct printer settings
Click and drag PostScript file into Job List
