Booklet margins are off

[DHust]

I've printed a booklet but noticed that the front page has different margins than the rest of the pages. Not only that but the odd pages have a different margin than the even pages. It's almost like the pages are moved to the left. I was able to get a few pages to look like it's supposed to by using Transform, but I shouldn't have to. When I look at the print preview it looks great. When it prints, it does not. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks

Hi DHust,

Welcome to the forums

Could you please provide a copy of your .afpub file to the following link so I can investigate this for you?

Done. Thanks for looking at it.

Thanks for that, I've opened your document and I can see all margins across the 3 spreads are the same - 15mm on the top and bottom and 25mm on the left and right. I then printed your document at 100% scale, using n-up settings to have 2 A5 Pages (1 spread) printed across one sheet of A4 paper.

Can I ask why you believe the margins are 'off'? In my print test the text frames across multiple pages all align when printed, although they are off centre from the spread, but this is how they design has been laid-out.

Have you acquired these margins from your printer? How are you printing this document? (ie through the app directly, or exporting then printing the exported file?)

The document I sent to you had the pages transformed so they worked for the booklet setting.

I tried the n-up setup but it didn't print like a booklet. Page 3 ended up being blank. I think I have it figured out. I changed the paper type to Defined by Driver instead of A4. I think I'm using standard letter paper. The only thing about that is it tells me I'm going outside the printing area since I had it set to A5 paper initially. It prints fine so I'll just have to mess with that a bit further.

Thanks for your time.
