Use facing pages, Book must ALWAYS be a multiple of four in order for the book to work. 

PERFECT BINDING- Single bits of paper. Bind down the top edge, multiples of two.

READERS SPEAD - What you would actually see on screen if someone was reading the book.

Getting your pages in the right place before printing.

If you look in the pages palette you will notice that every pages has a little A in the top of each corner.

THE A- You will notice is the MASTER PAGES. Every single page when making a new document is based on a master page. You use the master page to add content. If you want certain content on every page of your document you will put it on the master page. 

If you double click on the master page 'A-MASTER' (one of the two) it will move to the master page. For example If you add something to this master page it will then appear on every page on your document. 

To print, go to FILE > PRINT BOOKLET.

We choose saddle stitch. Once you have selected this, go to 'Print Settings'. If you want your pages to be A4, you will have to print onto A3 and LANDSCAPE

SETUP: PAGE POSITION : CENTERED 

MARKS AND BLEED : CROP MARKS : CLICK

PRINT TO SHORT EDGE BINDING

Make sure that your preview hasn't got an exclamation mark next to it and your pages are put in the right place. 

Print Booklet dosen't work in digital print, However you can create a pdf to print there. 

In the printer settings you can see postscript setting. This is the language that your digital file is converted to. This is what is sent to the printer which recompiles it to create its print out.

Typefaces used to be sent in the same way (post script font) Now they are open fonts.

If you select post script file it will create a file which is like a PDF file. If this file is selected a PDD drop down box will now be availible. In that drop down box you can select Adobe PDF 9.0 This allows you to create a post script file of any size.
