I can't use the Save to PDF from print booklet anymore. help!

[default7q79ppmx1d8e]

I put together an unimposed 16 page document and before I updated to the newest version of Adobe CC I used to be able to save it as a booklet by accessing a "save to PDF" option from the Print Booklet drop down menu. Now when I do this it says the "save as PDF option in the printer dialogue is not supported." This is really frustrating, because I want to offer imposed versions of this booklet online for people to be able to download and print themselves. Is there a work around or other easy way to do this?

You cannot and never could export a PDF to booklet. Export a single page PDF and use Acrobat's booklet feature to print it.

Hi @JonasD2 ,

see my reply in this other discussion where you commented.

I suggested to use a script by Rob Day for booklet imposition. This script works very well with my current German InDesign 2022 version 17.3.0 on Windows 10. Also tested it with InDesign 2021 on the same machine. And I tested it successfully on a colleague's Mac with German InDesign 2022.

Hi @JonasD2  here’s the direct link to the imposition script Uwe referred to. If you use the script for a commercial job (commercial printers should really do their own imposition) make sure you get a bound dummy before going to press.

For printing booklets to Postscript>PDF you need to install the Acrobat 9.0 PPD, which you can get here:
