When I print from Print Booklet I lose my transparencies show up as solid boxes of color.

Question

This is a new problem I'm having, I've used this feature from this same document for a long time and have never had this problem. When I export my file as a pdf everything shows perfectly but when I use Print Booklet my transparencies come out as solid boxes of color. I use Print Booklet so I can set my file up into printer spreads so I really need to figure this out:) Thank you!

I use Print Booklet so I can set my file up into printer spreads so I really need to figure this out:

For simple 2-up impositions you can use Export and set a comma delimited page range in order to get imposed printer spreads, so an 8 page imposition would be 8,1,2,7,6,3,4,5. This came up in another thread where Mike Witherell pointed out that the order of the export page range can be anything

Re: Exporting Pages and Spreads combined

You wouldn't be able to set a creep amount via export, but it wouldn't have the limitations of distilled postscript—you would be able to keep your transparency live.
