Troubleshooting booklet printing

Note these issues to address when printing booklets.

Can’t create new document

Unfortunately, you can’t create a new InDesign document with the imposed pages. You

can print the imposed document or create a PDF.

Blank pages not included

You may add blank pages in the middle of a document to make sure there are enough pages

for each printer spread. However, if these pages contain no text or objects, they may not be recognized, and additional
blank pages are added at the end of the document. To make sure that the blank pages you added are included in the
imposed document, click Print Settings in the Print Booklet dialog box, and then select Print Blank Pages and click OK.

Printing double-sided pages without a duplex printer

Use the Print Odd Pages and Print Even Pages options in either

Adobe Acrobat or InDesign. After one set is printed, flip over the pages, load it in the printer, and print the rest of the
pages. For best results, print a test document to see which direction and order the pages should be added to the printer.
