I am trying to print a 24 half page booklet from Indesign. I am printing to a Alta Link C8045 printer.  It will not print all the pages and it cuts off the top and the bottom of the graphics on each page it does print.

Export a PDF (Print) document and try printing from Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader.

When I export as pdf...this is what I get.  Looks like in print preview it is right but doesn't fill up full page.

That's not an Export as PDF dialog. It's some kind of print dialog.

I exported it out of Indesign as a pdf and then opened it with preview. So that is a preview print dialog.  Is there another way I should do it?

It will not print all the pages and it cuts off the top and the bottom of the graphics on each page it does print.

Check your Print Settings... In General make sure you check Print Blank Pages. And in Setup if you are printing to Letter set the Orientation

Nit sure why you’d use Preview. The suggestion was “Export a PDF (Print) document and try printing from Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader.”.

Sorry, I should have explained further....When I save as a PDF (print) and open in adobe acrobat, it won't print. It gives me an error.  If I open in preview it will print. It prints the pages small.  It won't fill the whole page.

What error, specifically? We've given a plan based on using Acrobat or Reader, you can't substitute.
