InDesign Workshop

Perfect bound: single sheets bound together,
For anything other there needs to be a multiple of 4 pages.

THe standard view of pages in Illustrator are known as 'Printer Spreads'

How to work out printer spreads:

Draw this table and zig zag through page numbers as shown until halfway through total number of pages then turn back around.

All page pairs should add up to one more than the total number of pages.

If you double click A-Master and edit it, it will apply it to every other page in the document, this will be useful for keeping text boxes and image placement consistent throughout document.


use CMD-Shift-Click to unlock text boxes


In the master page you can automatically insert page numbers throughout the document by inserting a marker:



If you want automatic numbering to start a few pages in - like a novel- you can choose which page is the start page in Numbering and section options in the pages drop down



When coming to print the publication go Print Booklet instead of Print

Always check print blank pages before printing, if printing double sided make sure that page position is centred so both sides line up:


click double sided before printing as well in the final print dialog box.

Printing as a Post Script file allows you to print up to any size
