USING INDESIGN CS4

Printing

28-page booklet with a color cover

A. Color signature for cover B. Black-and-white inside page

Consecutive

Creates a two-, three-, or four-page panel appropriate for a foldout booklet or brochure. The Bleed

Between Pages, Creep, and Signature Size are dimmed when a Consecutive option is selected.

For example, if you want to create printer spreads for a traditional six-panel, trifold brochure, choose 3-up
Consecutive. You may be accustomed to setting up trifolds as one page with three different columns. With InDesign
imposition, you can simply create pages that are the size of each panel.

3-Up Consecutive

Spacing, bleed, and margin options for booklet printing

You can change the following options in the Setup area of the Print Booklet dialog box.

Space Between Pages

Specifies the gap between pages (the right side of the left page and the left side of the right page).

You can specify a Space Between Pages value for all the booklet types except Saddle Stitch.

For Perfect Bound documents, if you are creeping in (with a negative value), the minimum Space Between Pages value
is the width of the Creep value. If you’re manually creating signatures (for example, if there are different stocks in the
same document), you can enter a Space Between Pages value to specify a starting creep for spreads that belong to
different signatures.
