Printer spreads, gatefolds and imposition for saddle stitching; each page as its own PDF

Dialog box “Printer spreads, gatefolds and imposition for” in the program, filled in with example values

Where to find itFile › Export …

You can output related pages as printer spreads and retain attached gatefolds within the spread. For a brochure, imposition arranges pages on sheets for saddle stitching. This lets you check which pages share a sheet before folding. If the printer needs separate files, export each page as its own PDF in a ZIP. These options change the arrangement in the output file while you continue working with the original document pages.

How to do it

  1. Open «File › Export …».
  2. Choose PDF as the output format.
  3. Enable «Spreads (facing pages on one sheet)» or «Impose as a booklet or arrange pages on a sheet».
  4. For separate files, choose «Each page as its own PDF (ZIP)» instead.
  5. Review the selection and click «Export».
