      Hi. I’m stumped on how to set a book gutter–not the gutter between columns but the no-print margin on the inside edge of all pages of a book. Is this something that is done in exporting the pdf to printer after the book layout is completed, or am I missing something obvious in InDesign settings?
      Thanks for your help.

      In the New Document dialog box, you can turn on the Facing Pages checkbox, and then adjust the Inside margin.

      Unfortunately there is not a inside gutter setting in InDesign like you are referring to (or at least one that I know of), I would adjust your inside margin on your master pages so that it is adequate enough so that nothing will be printed within the inside edge gutter (or inside margin in InDesign) when placing your text frames. You can adjust your margins on your Master Pages after laying out the book with Margins and Columns (with Enable Layout Adjustment checked) but you might have to go and make sure everything has adjusted properly.
