PaulHatton Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 For example: I need to print a brochure that is made up of two sheets of A4 landscape with front and back printing on each side. This is to be folded into an 8 page A5 sized brochure. When I design I want to see facing pages BUT when I print I want Page 1 and 8 on one side of sheet 1 and pages 2 and 7 on the other. Similarly for the second (inside) sheet, one side has pages 3 and 6 and the other (Centrefold) had pages 4 and 5. So I need to design with facing pages but print with different pairs of pages! I need a 'Page Mapper' to allow this. Will this be possible. I have given an 8 page example but need a solution for any sized booklet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xcel Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I've tried printing a 4 page A5 newsletter and I can correctly get pages 1 and 4 on one side of an A4 page in landscape mode and pages 2 and 3 on the other side. the problem is that pages 2 and 3 are upside down. That is when the A4 sheet is folded the inside pages are the wrong way up. I have tried printing using Book, Booklet and N-UP 2 but all give the same result. Is there a print option that I am not seeing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SashaUK Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 This is a feature I need as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_heibu Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 It works fine here. Maybe glitches are document dependent. It is a little bit tricky to set the output parameters correctly, but, as I said, no issues here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edge Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 mac_heibu: have you got a solution for the OP's eight-page booklet problem or XCel's upside-down problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_heibu Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Don’t really know what you mean. I create a facing pages layout of, let’s say 8 pages, open the print dialog, choose the settings and all is working. Therefore I said: The issue might be document related. For my all works fine.

Xcel Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I recreated an old newsletter that a friend originally created in 1989 just as an exercise. When I print to PDF the document is fine as mac_heibu describes but when I print to an actual printer direct from Publisher the inside pages are upside down. I have printed to a Samsung laser MFP and an HP LaserJet Pro both give the same result. As I originally indicated I have tried Book Booklet and N-UP options.
