Adobe InDesign/page imposition

Advertisement


Question
I am wanting to create a book out of two separate documents. I can use the book function to get it to number the pages but I want to print out a sample and have the pages imposed how they are supposed to be. Using the print booklet function will only print out one document at a time and I want it to use both documents. Do you know of any way to print both documents as one book with the pages imposed?

Answer
Brian,

If you have both documents open you can drag the pages from one document to the other via the pages panel. Now that they are together you can use the print booklet function. Although if you want true imposition you will probably want to purchase a 3rd party plugin that can handle it better.
