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

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.

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, check with your local "The UPS Store" if you have one, and see if they
offer a competitive printing price as well.

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?

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 :-)

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.

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.

ClickBook does this - and dozens of other tasks -
it may be worth getting the trial copy.
