Question

Printing a Booklet - distiller only prints half the spread

The "Print a Booklet / Preview" within InDesign is perfect, as it should be. I am printing spreads and all pages. Paper is the right size - and again printing all pages - as can be seen in the preview window.

 

I then print a postscript file and distill it to arcrobat. (Acrobat is the only option for printing spreads as even/odd pages for double-sided printing.)

 

This time however when I view my PDF distilled from the PS file (again, generated in InDesign/Print a Booklet) the PDF file is cutting off the spread so that only the even pages are in the file.

 

I've done this so many times, it's routine - UNTIL NOW. And I can only figure that the acrobat update may be the issue/culprit.

 

I've gone through every printing panel and preset panel within InDesign - there is no setting that I have ever found for printing even/odd pages when printing a booklet - and all settings are as they have been in the past. Unfortunately I've spent hours of time - including the time to find help.

 

We've all been here a lot lately I see with the new acrobat update.

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Screenshots of the print settings and the resulting files would be of help. As a shoot in the blue: My guess is that the paper size is not correct for distilling.
