Hello,

I hope you're well.

I am in urgent need of help as I am struggling to print a booklet on a cannon at work.

I have created a booklet in indesign and have facing pages set up etc & safe the indesign file as PDF spreads.

Once I open the PDF file and click on booklet, the spreads appear on single pages & i'm not sure if its my indesign file or PDF itself. See attachments below. So its like the spread is shrunk down onto 1 single page. Its very weird and never had this issue before.

Thank you

You can use File > Print Booklet to send postscript directly to your Cannon printer. Through this utility, the pages can be arranged in printer spreads, and in conjunction with the Print Settings, have the spreads duplex print to ultimately make a printed booklet

The Acrobt Booklet setting will do the pagenation for you. If that doens't work right, then try your printer-drivers booket setting instead.

You mistake was exporting the file as spreads. What that did it make Acrobat see each spread as a single page.
Change your PDF output settings to single pages.
