@ELZANA: You may need to correct these in Acrobat Pro after exporting the PDF from InDesign. Acrobat can convert color to gray. Or use Enfocus Pitstop.

@Mix: That is a question better suited for the forums (indesignsecrets.com/forum, or click Forums in navbar above). (But you might look at the plug-ins from in-tools.com)

In fact, I will close the comments on this post now, as this list has grown far too long.

Hi Steve I know this is an old post, but I need to do exactly that: send a printed pdf format of the print booklet to my printer. I’m using Acrobat 9 professional and it’s not working. Please explain how I can do this.
Thank you

I found out about the blank pages: the “Print booklet” dialogue has its own print settings, apart from the normal “Print” dialogue. There you also need to check the “Print blank pages” option. Then the booklet will be fine.

@Max:
Only as PDF. You need to have a PDF printer.

Does not work for me. I have a document with 20 pages, which qualifies for booklet printing without adding pages. But the “Print booklet” dialogue tells me there are pages missing. I have three blank sheets, but the option “Print blank sheet” is checked. The pages that Indesign will add are in the wrong place, so the preview shows me a totally mixed up booklet.
Then it comes to the paper size. The document’s paper size is A4 portrait. So the booklet will result in A3 landscape. If I set the paper size in the printer dialogue (PDF printer), I can only choose A3, but not landscape. If I set the page direction, then the preview fits fine to the page, but it’s upright. And the page order is still wrong, of course.

Is there a way of saving ur Cs3 ‘Print Booklet’ file? Without printing it.

Hmmm. Snow Leopard breaks the Adobe PDF printer function. Adobe's suggested fix is to use the "Save As PDF" feature, but this doesn't work with Create Booklet. Are there any workarounds? I need to turn a 4-page InD document into a ledger-sized PDF to take to Office Depot. Our in-house printer is broken.

I noticed that when I want to print many copies of something – books for example, from InDesign the file is processed to the printer for each copy and not once for the same job. This is all despite the copies being from the same file. Is there a way around this?
