Print just one spread from InDesign CS3 Print Booklet

Sometimes you just need to print one spread and not an entire document. This can be confusing when using InDesign’s Print Booklet feature. If you type in the page numbers, as suggested by the help file, you will not get appropriate results. The key is to change the booklet type to ‘2-up Consecutive’ when printing out a single spread in an imposed document. Since Saddle Stitch will default to print the first page on the right hand side it is just no suitable for printing individual spreads.

1. Select File>Print Booklet

2. Change Booklet type from 2-up Saddle Stitch to 2-up Consecutive

2-up consecutive

3. Enter the pages you want to print in the page range and then select ‘print’

    Thanks for this! I hope Adobe fixes PrintBooklet soon. I can’t understand why it does impositions incorrectly and forces all these work-arounds.
