Just scroll all the way down to the bottom of this page, enter your email address, and click Go! We’ll take care of the rest. Now, on with the tip!
If you’re using InDesign CC 2014.2 or later, you can select one or more pages from the Pages panel and choose Print Spreads from the panel menu.
Or with the pages selected, you can also right-click to choose the same command.
If you don’t have a full spread selected, you’ll see Print Pages instead of Print Spread.
When you use either method, the pages you selected are automatically entered in the Range field in the Print dialog box.
This can be especially useful when you’re working with documents that contain prefixed sections (or alternate layouts) because it saves you from having to type in complicated and cumbersome page ranges like “iPad H:1-iPad H:4,iPad V:1-iPad V:4” in the Print dialog box.
And you’ll never see this error message again.
