How to print a multifile book in multiple signatures?

How do I print a 448 page book, 2 pages per side of a sheet of paper, in 14 signatures of 32 pages?
I'll be printing using 11x17 paper in a duplex printer, each page would be 8 1/2x11.

What kind of printer?

If it's a modern one - there should be an option in the printer's driver to print booklets.

Of course, you would have to select page ranges - if you have everything in one PDF.

1-32, 33-64, ...

Or you can print 14x signatures from Acrobat:

Then if it jams - you can reprint only one sheet.

You should really use imposition software - and take your pdf that's linear pages 1-448 and impose them.

Your other alternative is to get the page imposition numbers for each signature and output your pdf in that order

So it goes 

32,1,2,31,30,3,4,29,28,5,6,27,26,7,8,25,24,9,10,23,22,11,12,21,20,13,14,19,18,15,16,17

That's your first signature

You can use Excel to generate the pattern and then copy and paste the page sequence

Select Spreads when making the PDF

If the signature for 1-32 works here - then replicate that sequence for the other signatures.

If there's a jam - you just have to output that signature again.

It looks like the answer to the print the full document issue is to upgrade to Acrobat Pro.  😞

Hopefully the sizing issue where it's shrinking the width of the text area from 6 inches to 5 inches will go away?
