Adobe Illustrator/Making a CD Booklet

Advertisement


Question
I want to make a booklet to go in a CD case.  I also want to be able to print it on my color laser printer.  I have CS3.  I have no idea how to do this.  I've tried using the CD template - but keep ending up with stuff that I can't just print and fold.  (It's only 4 pages.)  Yes, I'm a beginner!

Answer
Hi Rob

You will need to set up a document 4.75"h x 9.5"w. This is the dimensions for a CD booklet insert. Add a guide at 4.75" horizontally and that is your booklet. You will need two documents, one for the outside and one for the inside. You will end up printing this back to front in order to get all 4 pages.

Thanks
