[QUOTE="DennisAlan, post: 1015009, member: 146993"] [b]Facing Pages, Spreads and Getting it Printed[/b] Yes, indeed! I was happily (NOT) struggling to bend InDesign CS3 to my will to make a 24-page booklet for Kinko's to print. My "page" was half of a letter sheet in side-by-side spreads. Two pages to a spread, right? Not in InDesign land. It treated each spread as a page. Kinko's said, "Bring us a pdf of your file to print from." I did. I even made them a mockup of the printed sheets so they would get it right, i.e. in the middle of the booklet, pages 10 and 11 are backed by pages 9 and 12, pages 13 and 14 are backed by pages 8 and 15. Naturally, I made up my pages in numerical order. When I go to Kinko's, they took one look at the pd and said, "We can't make a booklet from this. Give us a pdf of individual pages." Try as I might, I could not separate those spreads into individual pages. And all the online advice said uncheck "facing pages," which WAS unchecked. The problem: InDesign calls my letter-size sheet a page no matter how many half-size or quarter-size pages I think I have created on the sheet. A quick and dirty solution that I think may work: 1.
