Booklet printing in InDesign is not creating postscript in correct page size

I can't get booklet printing in InDesign to print a postscript/PDF in the correct paper size. It has always worked correctly before. All the correct information is in the preset with the custom paper size but instead of the PDF being in the custom paper size, it's 8.5x11.

To go along with @Brad @ Roaring Mouse's question, you should be using the ADPDF9.PPD for printing PS files under the Print Booklet/ Printer Settings.

If you don't have the Adobe PDF 9.0 as an option under the Printer Settings, you can download the PPD from the link below and put it here: Applications/Adobe InDesign 2022/Presets/PPDs.

If the PPDs folder doesn't exist just creat it.

Thanks, Mike

As I told Brad, it uses my printer as PPD, anything else and it won't allow custom paper sizes. We set this up a number of years ago when the comapny I was working for decided to do in-house printing for single foreign languages. If the set-up didn't link to a physical printer it wouldn't work.

 So, did you try installing the recommended PPD? Or just assume it won't work?

What PPD are you using?

Actually, using the PPD for your actual printer is good if that's what you will be printng to. It knows the possible page sizes it can do. Otherwise, use the generic Adobe PDF 9.0 version suggested!
