Printing 3 pages to PDF on one A4

Community Beginner ,
Jul 09, 2019 Jul 09, 2019

Is there a script where I can print multiple pages with bleed and a gap between pages onto a single page.

I have a 3 page document and want a single page PDF with all pages on an A4 with bleed included on each page and a gap between the each page on that page.

Any thoughts you clever people.

I don't mean thumbnails or use Acrobat multiple page set up.

Regards Christopher

Are you printing this to your own desk-top printer, if so, what is its maximum printing size and does it do duplex printing?

What is the TPS of each page of your 3 page document and does it include bleeds?

Why can't you export your InDesign pages as separate A4 PDFs and put them together on one A2 page (assuming you haven't any bleeds). The problem may be how near the edge of the A2 sheet your design is, you may need to modify the A4 design slightly.

I know I can do that, I want Indesign to generate the proof from 3 individual pages onto one A4.

InDesign is not an imposition application, as I think you know. There are imposition applications available, but it may not be worth buying one for a one-off job, maybe you could do it yourself.

Print Booklet lets you setup the Booklet Type as 3-up Consecutive

In Print Settings enter the Paper Size in the Setup tab. If you are trying to Print a PDF you will need to have the Adobe PDF 9.0 PPD installed, or you can choose your Printer and print directly from InDesign. I don't think 3 A4s (8.3x11.7) will fit on an A2 (16.5x23.4)
