Printing booklet
....plus stitching, folding, and a pretty trim on the face edge so the sheets
dont stick out. seems like alot but it isnt far out of line with what I would charge. there are alot of hidden steps there and even if it was all automated, the equipment to do all that is very expensive -- "Display tolerance & kindness to those with less knowledge than you because there is ALWAYS someone with more" "John Steiger" wrote in message ... It is 75 copies. After getting home and thinking about it, it only about 15 to 20 sheets of paper per booklet. That would still total about 1500 sheets...still alot of printing. I printed a 8 page sample when I got home using the manual duplex mode and it worked...I would still hate to print 1200 sheets of paper. John |

Has anyone tried sewing the pages together? My friend did that and it
worked out well. Betty "John Steiger" wrote in message ... It is a project my wife is working on for a family reunion. We are going to print about 75 copies. I may end up taking the print job to the local kinkos to printed. I just wanted to make that it is possible to create the project and be able to tell the printer to print the pages in the proper sequence. I know that I will have to the run the paper throgh twice if I print it myself(I am not looking forward to printing it myself, but you know, anything for the spouse). I hoping to be able to have someone else print the project depending on the cost. John |

I have a similar problem. I do not want it printed
on both sides of the 8 1 1/2 X 11 paper - only on one side. But, I'd like it to print out in such a way that the printer can go from one sided to two sided. In other words, I will print two pages. On one page I will have the front and back covers. On the other page I will have the 1st and 2nd pages. Now, take that to 100 pages.... 1st page = front & back covers. 2nd = 1st and 100th, 3rd = 3rd and 99th, 4th = 4th and 98 pages. Is this making sense? The publisher has asked me to convert my pages to pdf and they'll take it from there. Does this make sense? |

Printing booklet
A small child turns to Ed, and exclaims: "Look! Look! A post from Ned
!"... I have a similar problem. I do not want it printed on both sides of the 8 1 1/2 X 11 paper - only on one side. But, I'd like it to print out in such a way that the printer can go from one sided to two sided. You can't print a two-sided PDF :-) Just set up your publication as a booklet, and print to PDF. It will print single-sided, and the printer will be able to duplex it for you. As simple as it could be :-) -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://www.mvps.org/the_nerd/ Before reading this message, view the disclaimer: http://mvps.org/the_nerd/disclaim.htm |

Printing booklet
Ned,
I would ask the printer what he wants - multi-page pdf, single page pdf, printer spread pdf. It's possible he could want single pages that he will impose, or the first and last pages as one pdf, second and penultimate pages, etc. I'm not a printer but I know as a designer nothing is more important than knowing what your printer wants BEFORE you start on a project. I can and usually does save you a bunch of time, grief and money. Mike Ned wrote: I have a similar problem. I do not want it printed on both sides of the 8 1 1/2 X 11 paper - only on one side.

Printing booklet
Are you saying you want the cover sheet to be only printed on the front and
it's back side blank and also the back cover blank on both sides but then all the pages within the booklet carry print and page numbers? If so, make the actual page one (the cover) with print, page 2 (back side of front cover a blank page and the back cover blank on both sides. Now create the pages within the booklet, change the start page from 3 to 1. -- Don -------- Vancouver, USA - One of the great cities in one of the 45+ countries in the Americas!

ClickBook does this - and dozens of other tasks -
it may be worth getting the trial copy. ============================== On Sat, 29 May 2004 14:20:48 -0700, "Ned" wrote: I have a similar problem.
