Hi guys-

I have a 600 page document. Each page has a number from 1 to 600.

I need to export out to a pdf file that has a 3-up arrangement.
So, the first page would have pages 1, 2 and 3 on it. The second would ahve 4,5 and 6 on it, etc.

I'm not finding a script or instructions on how to do this. I may be that I'm not looking for the correct thing.

Any help would be appreciated.

We're close, but the catalog script still makes the page 8.5 x 11 portrait.
The script also puts a vertical space between the images no matter what setting I select.

Try this catalog script—it lets you set the page size:

Hi @Case0535 , If you can Print a PDF, Print Booklet will do it if you set the Booklet Type to 3-up Consecutive. You’ll need the Adobe PDF 9.0 PPD in order to set a custom paper size
