That's pretty common, but not always the case. You can subscribe to your own posts, as well as any others that interest you, and you'll receive notification whenever something new is added.

Peter, Dave thanks a whole lot. Sorry I didn't specify the platform (Mac) but good to know the same for PC side. I only came back to check the forum today. Didn't know I would get an answer in the space of minutes yesterday. Newbie :-(

For windows it would be C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 5.0\Scripts\Scripts Panel

This is a hidden directory, so you would need to show hidden files first.

It should go in:

Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version 5.0/Scripts/Scripts Panel/

Hello,
Can anyone explain the installation process for this script? I tried copying it to the scripts folder but I don't see it in any of IDCS3 menus.

Thanks.

I had InDesign CS3 configured in Tiger so I could Print to PDF using Print Booklet and it worked great. It would ask me to name and save the file. I haven't been able to get it configured in Leopard to work the same way. I am able to do it the PostScript file method but then I have to distill it. When I try to use Adobe PDF 8.0 as the Printer and driver, it just pauses in my Printer spooler and I can't get it to finish.

I figured out what I was doing wrong. In Print Booklet, after clicking on Printer Settings, I was clicking on Adobe PDF 8.0 instead of PostScript file under the printer options. Once I chose PostScript file, I was then able to open it in Acrobat and print my odd/even pages. Just never had to do it this way before, so was a little confused. Thanks for your help.

I also have had problems with InBooklet. I was told that the plugin was bought out by Quark and we wouldn't see it in this version. In my field this feature was critical.

>It just sends it directly to my print que,

Which print queue? When you right click on the PDF printer in the printers folder and select properties, what do you see for the port, and for the driver, which is under the advanced tab?
