Creating booklets in CS4 (not printing)

You could make a booklet out of CS2 through the ''Print booklet'' feature. It would create a second file that was booked correctly so you could proof any of the background graphics.



How can I do this in CS4???
Creating booklets in CS4 (not printing)
Print Booklet was introduced with CS3 and remains unchanged in CS4. CS2 used a plugin called InBooklet SE which is no longer available because the vendor was purchased by Quark.



The major difference is that InBooklet allowed you to impose and create a new file, but it was very buggy and often caused problems. Print Booklet only allows you to impose and print, so if you want a screen proof you must print to PDF and open that.



An alternative is to use one of the imposition scripts that are available, but the one I use is not capable of dealing with cross-spine elements, and I suspect from your post that you have background images that span the spreads.
