Impose a document for booklet printing
The Print Booklet feature lets you create printer spreads for professional printing. For example, if you’re editing an 8-
page booklet, the pages appear in sequential order in the layout window. However, in printer spreads, page 2 is
positioned next to page 7, so that when the two pages are printed on the same sheet, folded, and collated, the pages end
up in the appropriate order.
The process of creating printer spreads from layout spreads is called imposition. While imposing pages, you can change
settings to adjust spacing between pages, margins, bleed, and creep. The layout of your InDesign document is not
affected, because the imposition is all handled in the print stream. No pages are shuffled or rotated in the document.
Jeff Witchel from Infiniteskills.com demonstrates Printing booklets from your desktop printer .
Note: You cannot create a new document based on the imposed pages. In addition, if your document includes multiple page
sizes, you cannot use Print Booklet to impose a document.
1 Choose File > Print Booklet.
2 If a printer preset has the settings you want, choose it in the Print Preset menu.
To use the print settings (as they appear in the Print dialog box) of the current document, choose Current Document
Settings from the Print Preset menu.
3 If you don’t want the entire document to be imposed, select Range in the Setup area and specify which pages to
include in the imposition.
Use hyphens to separate consecutive page numbers, and commas for nonadjacent page numbers. For example,
typing 3-7, 16 imposes pages 3 through 7 and 16.
Note: If you have divided the document into sections of page numbers, you should enter section page numbers (such as
Sec2:11) in the Range field.
