Change default page order when printing booklet

Hi,

When you print a booklet, Publisher puts automatically pages in the
appropriate order (ex: for a 8 pages booklet, the order is (8, 1), (2, 7),
(6, 3), (4, 5), and each couple of pages are on a same sheet).

But we want to create the same booklet in PDF format, so we need a
sequential order : (1), (2, 3), (4, 5), (6, 7), (8), just like what's show
by Publisher when in edition mode.

We create PDF by printing on a PDF virtual printer (pdf995).

But we can't tell Publisher to output in our needed order.

Do you have any idea ?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, get the real McCoy... i.e. Adobe Acrobat

Mary having the full fair dinkum version of Adobe Acrobat is not going to
help.

You will have to change the Page Setup from Booklet to Normal.

So it's a problem of printer, not that of Publisher ?

The printer prints what's sent by Publisher, if Publisher sends pages 8 and
1 for a sheet, how can the printer prints other way ? even it's the "real
McCoy" ?

By the way, we have also PDFwriter from Adobe, that don't solves the
problem.

Thanks.

Mary,

I hate to bring this up, but PP will let you create a pdf for printing
or viewing, IOW, 1-8, 7-2, etc., or 1, 2, 3, etc. Plus, it's a lot
cheaper than Acrobat.

Zixiong the real McCoy died a long time ago.

Having the full version of Adobe does not fix this issue.

Mike PagePlus has the option to print as straight pages or as Booklet form.
The other thing that PagePlus beats everything hands down, is in converting
from paper to PDF and then to web. PagePlus retains all the columns and
formatting perfectly.

Change your Page Setup to Normal.

Recently I created a Pub file, converted it to pdf and it prints it out in
the same order as the pub file. I use the commercial pdf converting
program, PDF-XChange.

The have a trial version if you are interested. See below for the address.

I have Acrobat, when I need a booklet in a PDF, I simply choose eBook. it prints
exactly the way Publisher has it laid out. I have the advantage of a duplexer,
however you do have the option of odd-even printing. There are so many options in
Acrobat...
