Change default page order when printing booklet

Thanks for your responses.

When I set A5 paper size, Publisher prints all pages out (one A5 page per A5
sheet) senquentially to PDF file. But I can't figure out how Acrobat or
FinePrint knows how to assemble them two-to-a-page ? who instructs them to
do that ?

In fact, with these setting, I get simply A5 format pages in Acrobat. I can
of cause show pages in side-by-side mode in Acrobat, which is very similar
to Publisher's edition view of booklet. But it's just a view mode, each page
is still on a separated sheet. If the person who gets my PDF trys to view it
in normal mode, he'll not get the views I need, pictures spanning two pages
will be cut, he'll see only a half of the picture on each page.

Except you can merge two A5 pages in one A4 inside Acrobat or FinePrint ? I
don't know if it's possible.

Thanks.

I'v set 148x210 (A5) in page size, A4 in paper size of printer. Tried
portait or landscape, one or 2 page per sheet, etc.

I know you have.
Which is why I said to set **A5** page size in File Page Setup Printer
and Paper.

If you do that, then Acrobat or FinePrint or anything apart from Publisher
will assemble them two-to-a-page.
Distiller was reducing them because each A4 page had an A5 page slap bang
in
the middle. So when it stuck two-to-a-page, then it reduced each A4 down
to
an A5, leaving the gaps and the reductions.
If you use the A5 page sie in your printer settings, then it will come out
in a format assemblable by other applications.

You would use the same setting as you were using before to get two pages to
a sheet in Distiller, or in FinePrint.

I don't know very well Acrobat, but an expert told me that Acrobat can't
merge 2 A5 pages on one A4 page.

He told me that with a 3rd party tool like Quite Imposing, it's OK. (but you
must pay another $325 !)

Could you confirm what you said ?

Thanks.

Trust me, you can open another instance of Acrobat and do everything you
want.

Go to Page Setup , click on 'Change page Order', check the option 'Print one
page per sheet' and then print the publication to PDF and you get it in the
order you want.
