![]() "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... In fact, I just retested this. I took a 5 page (A4) document and saved it as PDF. I opened it in Acrobat Reader, selected Print and in the option dialog chose Booklet Printing under Scaling, Both Sides under Booklet Subset, set my printer driver to Duplex (Both Sides) and pressed OK. It printed a perfect A5 booklet using Pages 1-5 with pages 6-8 entirely blank as expected. There is definitely something very weird going on here. It doesn't matter what I do, the print preview in Acrobat shows the WRONG printing - the blank page is inserted in front of page 2, NOT next to page 1, which is where it should be. If I choose Odd pages, (I don't have a duplex printer), it shows page 1 and page 7, NOT page 1 and the blank page. |

I agree that's wrong, but I'm not sure why. Have you tried it with a
different document? Terry "Gordon" wrote in message ... "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... In fact, I just retested this. I took a 5 page (A4) document and saved it as PDF.

Well that's one item that common to the different documents, so it very
could be. If you have a non-confidential document, you could send it to me as an email attachment for testing. Terry "Gordon" wrote in message ... "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ...

Hi Gordon
I got the fine. It was a 9 page PDF but the final 2 pages were blank. So I printed a duplex booklet selecting pages 1-7. The PDF printer perfectly onto 2 sheets of A4 which when folded in half made a perfect booklet. So you may be correct in that your printer driver is the problem. FWIW, I use a Canon Pixma ip4600 which I believe has recently been superseded by the IP4700. Terry "Gordon" wrote in message ... "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ...

Thanks for that Terry - my printer is a Lexmark C540N Colour Laser but it has no Duplex, so that might be the problem? I presume that a document with even numbers of text pages might be OK. I'll try it. |
