Hello, I need to impose a booklet layout from my reader spread created in Adobe Indesign. I am using the current cloud version of Indesign on Windows 10. I have tried the print booklet feature and it does not work. When I run a preview, the program inserts a blank page to the left of page 1 and also inserts and extra blank page after page 2. I have also tried in Adobe Acrobat with the same result. Every help article and video I've seen so far is not helping. The result I need to achieve is to print the front and back cover next to each other and other (letter size) pages in the right order on tabloid size paper which will be folded and saddle stitched.

As already pointed out, you only have 6 pages. You need to work in multiples of 4.

Hi Bob, I've seen you post that same reply to the other questions. As I said in my post, it still does the same thing. Maybe you can help me figure out a way to make this work.

Test out a couple of pages, you may have problems registering the backup on an office printer (of course you may have a sophisticated duplex printer!).

Normally, when you send a job to a commercial printer you send individual pages for them to impose.

It would surprise me if a commercial printer would really like to get a booklet...

Office printers (even the sophisticated ones) are normally about 2-3 mm off when printing duplex. If you take that into account and have your design accordingly, you can produce very nice booklets.
