Exporting a booklet corrupts Illustrator Files

[milldredscreative]

Hi all!

I'm having a problem when exporting my InDesign to a PDF Booklet. When exporting to PDF normally it looks clean and crisp but then when exported to a PDF through the booklet option it adds weird lines to my illustrator file. I have tried changing print driver settings to High Quality print but this does nothing,

Any Ideas? Thanks 🙂

You cannot export to a booklet which means you're printing to PDF which will flatten everything with transparency. That will add stitching artifacts that, in theory, won't print.

Why do you need an imposed file? No competent printer would want such a thing and if this is for in house printing then just print directly to the printer or export a PDF and use Acrobat's booklet printing to do it.

Edit: One more thing...when outputting directly from InDesign make sure "send image data" is set to all.
