2 sided flip book

[kevins37590045]

Hi all, I am looking to print a 2 sided flip book but it is not your standard 2 sided half page.  The project is a golf yardage book.  There are 2 images per hole on 4x5 artboards.  Each page will have two images vertically as the final product is 4 x 10 (as well as images on the back of each page).  Every time the page is turned another holes 2 artboards will show.  I can not figure how to do this.  I know the middle page will print (front face) as a standard 2 image sheet, but the back of it will have an upside down images from the preceding and next hole.  Do I really need to figure out each orientation prior to printing or is there some setting to accommodate this?

I created the artboards in Illustrator, but have the CC so can move to another piece of software if it is easier to accomodate.

Let‘s try in the Illustrator forum:

Usually the print shop should arrange the pages on paper.

But you better ask them instead of us.

Ask them all your questions about how to provie the artwork.

Make sure you understand what they tell you, because they are the only ones that can tell you what they want.

My intent is to print these as a draft at home and then supply the file to the print shop to just print it on thicker cardstock and bind.

Talk to the print shop.

so it sounds from the responses that this is not something that can be done easily from within the program.  It seems to me that when generating a booklet and defining the type it would be able to configure the print.  Guess not.

All in all, you can generate booklets easily from InDesign. Illustrator is not powered for that.

What I'm saying is that, before you do anything, contact the printer about what exactly they want from you. Some have software in place that do this prepress stuff for you and all they need from you is single pages in the PDF.

You need to contact them. It's professional behaviour to pick up the phone and talk to them.
