If the OP would like the assets I used to make this file, feel free to PM me. Without seeing the artwork, I can't be sure what is causing issues 2 & 3 in the original question, but I suspect rather than having two pages in the pre-merged file, rather than the 108pp mentioned in the OP's pre-merged file. Note the amount of pages in my document, what page I'm on at the moment I took this screenshot (I'm on the B-Master) and the amount of pages in my document thus far (2pp):Īfter I create merged document from Data Merge, this is my result:

In the meantime, it is possible to export a PDF and then from Adobe Acrobat, use the booklet feature from its print menu:Ģ: Can't answer this question without seeing your actual files (ID and data) but I suspect that the database contains the 38 school weeks, something like the following based on South Australia 2019 term dates available from DECD:įrom here, I would create the following template (basically made for the sake of time). There is a feature request to make print booklet also available as "export PDF booklet" and if this is of interest, I strongly suggest adding your vote here: Export PDF Booklet – Adobe InDesign Feedback. Thanks in advance for anyone who is able to shed some light.ġ: Print to booklet effectively creates a saddle-stitch imposition, but only to a print queue. It is such a great learning opportunity for students that I would love to iron this out and teach it in my classes if I can get it to work myself. From the searches I have done to date, I feel like I may be pushing this program to its limit (not to mention my poor Mac!). I think this is all that I need help so far. So, any ideas why the formatting would mess up when i merge the doc? Even clicking on a box of any type takes 2 minutes to complete and I am unable to fix the messed up formatting because I don't have the computing power to do it. Once I have the merged doc, and my poor Air is now struggling to do anything, the formatting is messed up. For some reason, when I create the merged doc, I get a heap of extra pages. I have 38 records I am trying to merge over two facing master pages. In doing this, my document which was 108 pages, maxed out to over 5000 pages.

When I did a trial print directly to the printer, I discovered the need to "Create Merged Document' (like I said I am doing this to learn.). Is there any way I can get my Mac to print booklet to PDF other than purchasing an app for $20 that claims it will allow me to do that?Ģ. I don't want to do this, as I want to print at OfficeWorks to get a better quality printout than my dodgy inkjet. This meant that I had to print directly to the printer. I am unable to print a booklet as a PDF on my Mac. I was travelling along well and had it all working until I went to print - then I ran into several problems:ġ. This year, I decided to try a data merge. The second year, I used the master pages for what would remain the same and amended the alterable data (dates and events) on each page as necessary. The first year I did the whole thing page by page.

I decided to make a diary for myself to help me learn how to use this program. I teach ICT and my students wanted to learn in Design.
