David Edge Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 In the Book printing model I can only have one sheet per signature. I'm hoping this is a bug. What I'd expect to happen (although I have no experience of other software) is that Book would be a collection of booklets for pp1-12; 13-24 etc (for three sheets per signature).

Alfred Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 In Serif PagePlus the ‘Book’ option is also one sheet per signature, so I suspect this is by design in Affinity Publisher.

David Edge Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 So how do people print real books? I'm producing small runs of artist's books so it's not something I can leave to a printing company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkaneshiro Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Hi David, I make self-published books, also. I use imposeonline.com which is free and very basic, but it works. I wish imposition in Publisher were more robust, too. good luck Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the OP's definition, unless one is also doing the sewn signatures and binding, being able to do signatures oneself doesn't typically apply. I have yet to experience a professional print establishment, especially one that is producing a sewn binding, want anything but single page pdfs. I don't know if Serif will ever add the capability to produce signatures. There are capable imposition applications that do this, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
