Artist's Crash Course: Booklet Printing in InDesign

[@LollyDavey]

I have searched for days about the stupid master file making everything the same. Your simple tip to turn it off/delete it saved me!

[@lilegg301]

I was told to use indesign and make a professional book straight away for my fucking art portfolio and I couldn't figure anything out after printing so many times I've had a few fucking mental breakdowns rn and I hope this works. If it does, you are a saint you deserve the world mate

[@NazmulIslamsujan]

Excellent tutorial, I have just missed out the checking mark of Facing page, Now solved my problem about multiple page INDD file.

[@YamboMuzeek]

haha I was just going to actually write that you literally saved my life, then I saw the comment below saying the exact same thing. you are a life saver!

[@channelred1023]

Thanks Glen that was a great tutorial! I have not used InDesign in years and this was a great refresher. I think I can design this catalog now!

[@lexiebrittanie]

You are a beautiful human being for posting this! I needed this so bad! Thankyou!

[@hanselyscular3971]

Thank you! Your instructions are clear and easy to follow compared to the other vids.

[@danmate28]

Thanks for this, been trying to print my order of service for my wedding and its been doing my head in!!

[@olivethomas6177]

WOW. Thank you so much! I've been terrified of InDesign for so long - but the way you explained how it works makes it seem like actually a much simpler program than PS or AI.

[@tharchandran3709]

Thank you so so so much!!! I'm fairly new to InDesign and your tutorial was a huuuge help!

[@kariklar]

thanks a lot!!! I was struggling with printing proper booklet. after watching this video have done it in a couple of minutes!

[@farousmedia]

[@chrisrichardson1600]

Just want to say thank you for this, it helped me a lot!

[@themouseisinthehouse]

Great Tutorial! Tackled most of all I need to get started. What if I want to create a seamless design on the cover page (page 1 and 16 in your example)? Could I do it together with the contents or should I make a new Document just for the cover page?

[@kennethgodspeed4115]

THANKS ALOT GLEN, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK !

[@GlenMoyes]

Sure. Just set your paper size to A5, which is the same as an A4 folded in half. (I really wish we would adopt the international standard here in America. There's a few advantages to that system.)

[@LitleLuci]

learned more than in my college course.... thank you for this.

[@TinyGrayMatters2023]

Super helpful! Thanks Glen.

[@yadhav17]

Thanks, you are a life saver !

[@nmdono]

Just what I was looking for, thanks

[@aaronvillanueva2239]

Awesome tut. Thanks!

[@DaToTao]

Thanks a lot bro, from dominican republic!

[@Streetwood1984]

Great tutorial. I'm sorry but you sound exactly like Badger from Breaking Bad!

[@David-Dugan]

+adam f I was thinking the same thing

[@stephaniemartinez8942]

LOL badger was low-key an indesign master.

[@GlenMoyes]

InDesign's "Print Booklet" dialog can do that for you. You can enter the "creep" amount there so it will put the appropriate gap between pages.

[@fantasiaisthebest]

This was helpful but how do you do it for a calendar that has already been flattened and set up in reader spreads?

[@GlenMoyes]

You'll need to have Adobe Distiller installed. I'm pretty sure this is part of Acrobat Pro (I have the suite so it's hard to tell what program comes with which). If you don't have Distiller installed, you can save it as a PostScript file, and then use Acrobat Pro to convert the PostScript file to a PDF.

[@RobertoRubioGuizar]

Thanks a million! Just save me lot of time

[@johnbuhril]

Hi I have one question. You delete the first page no. by placing NONE page over it and our page no.actually start from 2, but incase we want to have it from one(page1) how can we make page 2 to be 1 and the rest to follow accordingly? Thanks for the video.

[@ThePlette]

This is very helpful, thanks a lot.

[@honey87west]

Hi. I bought a brochure template from graphicriver which is in A4 format. Is there anyway to change it to A5, as that is the size I need. Thanks for any help!

[@WLewis1987]

Very very helpful! Thanks!

[@mood-fadul]

[@ylaenna]

[@erix43]

GREAT JOB and thank you sir! You explained it so clearly and made the process almost effortless! **Virtual Hug**

[@jonofwrath]

This was good, but currently your booklet starts at page 2 - how do you get it to start at page one - in other words, for the 'page 1' marking to show on the 2nd or even a later page? Thanks.

[@canajaneh]

Section breaks. I'm just getting my feet wet in inDesign, but if you can section breaks in Quark, you sure as anything should be able to do it in inDesign.

[@umbelachito]

Nice tutorial!

Thank you! I've been obsessing over how to print a thing as a booklet for two days before I realised indesign could probably do it for me... *facepalm* I didn't see the option print as booklet, thinking it'd be under export somewhere.. coughdumbcough

[@baljazz]

sweet tutorial but for the love of god i just want to resize my pdf pages all at once. i know this can do it but if i was to open a file would it transfer all my images from my pdf in order or do i have to add them individually? sorry im new to this:)

[@JulieChennet]

You have to have the professional version of Adobe PDF, or maybe you just have to reinstall the driver if it came with your InDesign software.

[@davidgartner8468]

Very helpful, thanks.

[@sensunory]

can you edit the image count when your done and you have too many blank pages?

[@wilhemwau]

[@raysnub]

[@JohnFarah]

Is it possible to print it out as A4

[@samcasey4660]

Same question here..

[@DxUxTxCxH]

Why am I unable to print to PDF??

[@roxyroxshow]

what if i wanted my book to start from the right? like an arabic book

[@Uce28]

Wouldn't it be better if you were to actually place the images into In design otherwise they'll be errors in the links?

[@charlieurmston3878]

Very helpful however at the end you set the printer to Adobe PDF, I've tried to do this but the option isn't there, who do I get Adobe PDF as a option. Many thanks

[@dublinphotoart]

Anybody know what swatches panel that was in photoshop? :D

[@GlenMoyes]

glenmoyes.blogspot.com/2008/10/color-wheel-photoshop-swatches.html I made these a while ago, and the panel width is now bigger so the swatches will look slanted. I haven't released a new version of it in quite some time, but it is on my list. It's not too hard to edit it in Photoshop to add the extra columns.

[@JimenyCricket]

um...yes. Its called InDesign....its in the title

[@DemetriosMPapadakes]

there's one very serious problem: When you print a real booklet, you MUST account for the loss of page width for each page that goes towards the center pages of the rib.

[@sylvanuscookson7010]

how to make a small booklet size

[@PlienxXxPandaSmiles]

Can I do this with text in that programme?
