InDesign file layout of a newspaper that will print and fold easily

Hello

I would like to make a model of a 20-page newspaper (therefore 5 double-sided sheets of paper that are folded). I want to build the model in InDesign so that I can easily make changes to my comp as needed. The * real * newspaper is printed on tabloid, but my comp, I'll just be printing on normal 8.5 "x 11".

My printer can do double-sided printing, when I print my Mock up for example, Pages 8 and 13 will be on one side, Pages 14 and 7 on the other. But when I'm editing the file in InDesign, I would normally consider:

1

2 3

4 5

6 7

etc...

18 19

20

Is this possible? I have a knowledge base of InDesign, so need clear steps on how to do it. Or if someone can direct me to a model line in files or e-mail to me working too .

Thank you!

ALWAYS make your layout in readers spread as against simple pages, so for a tabloid sheet that folds in half for letter you would be set up as a letter in portrait mode. If your folded paper uses two tabloid pages has joined on the long edge, set up in the tabloid facing pages.

To impose in printers, spreads, you can either use booklet print to print directly to the printer or print in PDF format (if the Virtual PDF printer is installed and that you are on Windows or Mac OS X before Snow Leopard) or by printing to Postscript queue and distillation, or you can use a script to organize pages, and then export the "spreads" in PDF format.

You can easily scale pages to fit the printable whole sheet area when you print the PDF file.

  • Is it possible to create a PDF file that will add and subtract in the same form field?

    I design a pdf form to fill out for a friend in need as an invoice. He wants to add each element of cost that happening automatically and I got including but now he wants to be able to subtract an element if necessary and I am lost as to how to get the correct code. Is this possible?

    So let's say that you have called Item1, Item2, Item3, and discount fields and you want to add the first 3 and then subtract the fourth total (sub).

    You can use the simplified field Notation on the calculation of your total field tab and enter the following in it:

    (Item1, Item2 and Item3) - Discount

    If the field names are more complex then a custom calculation script may be used instead:

    event.value = (Number(this.getField("Item1").value) + Number(this.getField("Item2").value) + Number(this.getField("Item3").value)) - Number(this.getField("Discount").value);
    
  • Y at - it an app that will "print" to PDF?

    Often when using my Mac, it's been really great select the option print and be able to select the "PDF" button and print a web page or other document to a PDF file.

    Is there a such app available for the iPad?  I searched the iTunes app store for "print to PDF" and there are a lot of apps, but all seem not to do exactly what I want.  They are apps to convert PDFs in Word, etc files or images in PDF format, or they are documents scanners that create PDF files from photos and many others.

    Can anyone recommend an application that can be added to the share button universal who will do a "Print to PDF" and save it or open with another application like purple or other Notes Organizer?

    Thank you

    -Tod

    Don't know exactly, but if you have Pages for iPad you can export a file as a PDF and then use it as you wish. That would help?

  • Is there a tip action that will open and close the table of contents?

    I like that in CP5, Adobe has allowed users to change the icon associated with opening and closing of a Table of contents in layers.  Having said that, unfortunately, they show if small, I don't see what I created.  So, I was wondering, is there an advanced action or an action script that I could assign to a button that will allow my users open/close the table of contents?

    Thoughts?

    Eric

    I created a quick and dirty AS3 widget that can be used in Captivate 4 and Captivate 5 projects to open / close a table of contents in overlay with your own button mode.

  • I have no sound and no printing on my computer. My computer is not part of a network of computers. How are the caps to be prepared so that the printer and speaker work?

    I have a DELL Photo 920 printer and a DELL speaker, but I'm not sure of the model.  I was moving the computer around the enclosure is unplugged and I could not it reconnect properly.  When I tried to fix it, it turned out that I also disconneced My DELL printer.  How to fix speaker (soundbar) and the printer?  Thank you!

    I don't know why you asked this in the forum Office 2007, so I moved it to the windows 'Hardware and drivers' forum.

    Examine the back of your PC.  Your sound card must be labeled with pictograms, something like this:

    The line show an arrow going into circles or curves and will often blue.  Speaker/line out will show an arrow coming out of the circles or curves and will often green.  The microphone usually indicates a picture of a microphone and is often pink.

  • Export from InDesign to PDF and the PDF file last updated is greater than one month and not easily print on letter paper is PDF presets?

    Hello

    I export from InDesign to PDF page is larger in the PDF file, and others I exported. This is because of the present PDF? One of the project managers is not able to print on 8.5 "x 11", but the InDesign document presets are the same as before. I wish I could download PDFs to show, but the newly exported PDF is greater than the version I created a month ago. I created a PDF file and the newly updated PDF file is almost un.5 inch wider with the export presets even. Any thoughts?

    I suspect the project manager has his copy of Reader/Acrobat simply set to print full size, rather than "Worthy" (assuming that the size of InDesign pages is truly 8.5 x 11).

    .. the newly updated PDF file is almost un.5 inch wider with the same export presets.

    This has nothing to do with export presets. How did determine you this difference of half inch?

  • How can I get Nitro PC installed properly, so it does not say that he may not support a file or a codec required that it blocks and other problems.

    How can I get Nitro PC installed properly, so it does not say that he may not support a file or the required codec, which it does in Windows Media Player, everything seems to go through there and Nitro prevents me from opening photos or electronic-mail/transfer their. Also, what are the appropriate programs to run files in the documents library and photos. recently, I lost all my documents, the files are there but now empty. It happened a little while before had spoken, by buying the GoFlex Seagate plug of iYogi I was stupid enough to buy their storys. Now that I told them that I used to pay $ 400 to renew my contract, which has more than a year and a half left in this regard that they were still treat me worse than ever. I even bought a program that is supposed to protect your bank account, but only have a debit card which they protect not only credit cards, it was not even mentioned in the contract or the sales pitch. The Seagate GoFlex is sitting here unplugged after that they could not challenge or whatever it is to recover after at least 4 attempts. Brief this cowboy got scalped, but if I can get the Nitro to block all my stuff I would be off to a good start to correct things. Also, I had a printer that was supposed to be a fax with all sorts of other gadgets they had me plug with a wire and wireless and never had to use the fax once and continue receiving invalid messages when I try to put in place something like snapfish, which seems to be an automatic link to my set of requirements. I'm lost.

    Maybe their support/forums?

  • Software HP said no 'connected', but Dr. scan will print and scan

    I have a Photosmart 2575 all-in-one, Windows 8.1

    I can print from the computer, but when I open the HP Solution Center, he says no 'connected' so I can't scan, make copys the computer etc.  the computer came with win 8 and solution centre worked.  I made the mistake of "redevelopment" earning 8.1 and this question and many others have started.  Not 100% sure that it is exactly when he started as I had no chance to use the center of HP solutions for some time and memory fails me if I used it since I installed Win 8.1 or not.

    I reinstalled the drivers HP and the software and run the HP doctor software.  Software Dr. actually says, all right, I can do the test scan successfully to its conclusion, but still can not sweep the HP Solution Center etc.

    Any help will be appreciated

  • Is it possible to store parameters to script with the InDesign file?

    Hello

    I have a crazy idea: it is possible to store parameters to script with the InDesign file?

    In this case the Scripting Guys will be able to store these settings with the file, and when the script runs - he can check if those setting exists - if so - script can run without showing the dialog with the settings... (like all the necessary parameters are stored with the indesign file), and of course we can force InDesign to display the script dialog parameters if run us with the alt/option key pressed when executing this script. Maybe even different scripts will be able to share these settings and interact with each other... We will be able to have the settings will be saved with the file, or temp settings for the document assets or session (till InDesign is closed). With eventListeners and commissioning, scripts, that we will be able to make scripts that would be able to check updates and automatically run when we placing images and text and so on... This can be a set framework of InDesign scripting, allowing to write scripts that use ui and same libraries so we don't have to write everything from scratch every time and just included required libs...

    So here are 2 great questions for now:

    (1) is it possible to store script with .indd file settings

    (2) who is interested in creating InDesign scripting (because it only makes sense if it will use a lot of people)

    PS: I know that it is possible to store settings in an external file, but this time, I'm interested only to save the params with .indd
