Default Booklet printing in Word 2007

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?

Yes. It does exactly the same thing.
Could it be the printer driver?

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.

Thanks - I'll send you the original pdf - it's a Good Friday service so not
very confidential!

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superseded by the IP4700.

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.

Interestingly I have just done this in Open Office - worked OK!

chose Booklet Printing under Scaling, Both Sides under Booklet Subset,
set my printer driver to Duplex (Both Sides) and pressed OK. It printed a

There is definitely something very weird going on here. It doesn't matter

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.
