  Hi! My name is Paula, and I have a problem :P (my english may have errors)
  
  I needed to print a booklet size A3 open, or A4 closed, with crop marks on the outside that didn’t adjust to page. So the optimum was to do it super A3. But here is my problem:
  
  Basically my Adobe Pdf Pro trial finished, so I erased it and wanted to download it again (obviusly to crack it, I don’t know why it finished in the first place, it was supposed to be cracked). I couldn’t, I tried from the website and it said error.
  
  So I downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
  When I wanted to print a booklet from adobe indesign cs6 the option of Adobe PDF didn’t appear. And if it did I could only print a ps file (postscript). I know there is an option to take the ps file and take it to the distiller, but I don’t have that either.
  
  I managed to export a PDF a saw it with the Acrobat Reader and it looked really bad, the fonts where kind of broken, at least in the view, and I couldn’t put crop marks on the outside of the spread because otherwise it would adjust to page and I didn’t want that.
  
  So could anyone help me to get Adobe Acrobat Pro , with the distiller, cracked, and help me the indesign to aknowdelege it?
  
  Greetings and thank you!

  HI Paula, why do you need to make the booklet a PDF? Why not use File > Print Booklet and print from InDesign?

    I don’t have the answer, but I’m curious as to what you mean by “cracked.”

  But why do you need your booklet with crops as a PDF? Why a PDF? Most people do not need this.
  As I said in this article, you should NOT need a PDF with printer imposition: https://creativepro.com/creating-pdf-indesigns-print-booklet-feature.php
  
  There is more information here:
  
  any way to combine "print booklet" and "export to PDF" functions??
  
  But if you need to distill postscript to PDF and you do not have Acrobat, there are two options:
  
  1. You can get Acrobat for not very much money. It costs only $25 to subscribe to Acrobat Pro DC for one month: https://acrobat.adobe.com/us/en/pricing/pricing.html
  (or only $15/month if you subscribe for one year)
  
  2. You could use a third-party service, such as https://www.ps2pdf.com

  Dwane by cracked I meant using keygen serial number to use the software ilegally, without paying.
  
  I need to make the PDF cause I don’t have distiller and because it’s a way that can be light, without loosing graphic quality.
  I don’t know, is the way I was tought in the university, everyone manages with PDF files…I like it, is practical.
  I need the crops cause I need to cut the pages by hand and some of them are mostly white, so I wouldn’t know where the page ends.. I have to make the booklet myself, print it, cut it, get it together.
  
  I rather not pay, that’s why I wanted a link with the cracked adobe acrobat pro, its too much money for me.
  that service sounds good, but I rather have the softwares I need and I can use in an offline mode.
  
  So , do you have any links or know why it doesn’t recognice the PDF option in print booklet?
  Thank you so much,
  Paula

  Paula, it sounds to me like you want to make a PDF with the crop marks and then print that PDF. But why do you not just print from InDesign? Why make the PDF first?
  
  It is not practical to make a PDF and then print the PDF. That is an extra step that is not necessary. You can print the booklet directly from InDesign as a booklet with crop marks.

  Paula – nobody here is going to help your download an illegal version of the software… that’s pretty much a way to get barred on most forums.
  
  Instead, you can get Acrobat Pro with Creative Cloud – the Professional version is just €18 a month for 1 year. And you get 1 month free trial, which you would be able to use the software for free for one month.
  
  Please also consider all of David’s responses in regards to printing directly from InDesign.
  
  Also – you can use File>Export and choose Adobe PDF (Print).
  
  And you can use the FREE Adobe Reader to print a booklet.
