Reply To: Indesign exporting as Postscript Question

How are you exporting to postscript? Mac or Win? Use of the distiller? I've done a lot of those books (Dutch-French) with CS on windows this way: print the document to a file (in windows use the “adobe pdf” as printer) and let is have the “.ps” extension. This file is put in the “in” folder of adobe distiller. Starting distiller creates a pdf in the “out” folder. Take care to select “print blank pages” and make sure that the book can be divided by 2 and that the second part is turned 180° before printing. Do not use “print spread”. In this case I don't use the “export option”, but just the “print option” in the file menu. You should end up with a correct pdf (version 1.3, postscript stops at pdf version 1.3) so make sure the pdf is flattened (no transparancy).

Second option: make two files, an Engish and a Spanish. Make two pdfs (same way as in option one) and in acrobat rotate one of them 180° and print it in the reverse order. Assemble both files. I then use “quite imposing plugin” to create a booklet (saddle stitch).
