  Is there a quick and easy way to Print Booklet with horizontal 2-up (ie two 11x8.5"s on a 12x18"), so one is over the other instead of to the side?

  Rotating every page 90° first (to 8.5x11") is fine for a 4-pager, but larger docs are a pain.

  File > Print Booklet

  • And then? There's no way to stack horizontal pages vertically as far as I can tell.– i_monk

  I guess if QBN doesn't know, it can't be done.

  I don't think you phrased your question very well. I still don't understand your problem

  instead of left page and right page, you want top page and bottom page?
  Vertical orientation, like a playboy centerfold or something?

  What I can do: Put two 8.5x11 (portrait) side by side on 18x12 (landscape). This is default Print Booklet.

  What I want to do: Put two 11x5 (landscape) stacked one on top of the other on 12x18 (portrait).

  if the doc was set up using master pages, you could just alter that. But having multiple masters on larger documents would ad complexity.

  Other than changing doc. properties, then grouping and rotating (as you already mentioned), I can't think of anything off the top of my head.

  if you are in CS4 you can rotate the spread view.

  • Really? Dammit, we're on 3 at work.– i_monk1/2

    but it just rotates the spread, the content would then be sideways.– bulletfactory2/2

  If you're in CS3, the best work around is to build your pages at the full size of the vertical spread and then place those pages into spreads in a new document. Then you can print to booklet from the new document without having to work sideways. Anytime you make a change, just update the links and you should be good to go.

  I understand what you are TRYING to do....I don't believe it CAN be done the way your trying to do it.

  A work around is the best solution I think
