Printing
These instructions apply to a PC under Windows 98 and Adobe Acrobat.
Your system might behave slightly differently. You never know…
1.
Open a PDF booklet file in Adobe Acrobat or Adobe
Acrobat Reader.
2.
From the File
menu, choose Print. The Print dialog box is displayed.
3.
Select the Properties
button. The <Printer Name>
Properties dialog box is displayed, with the default Main tab selected.
4.
Make appropriate selections for high-quality printing (e.g.
for ordinary paper, I choose Automatic mode and highest quality). High-quality
paper is recommended.
5.
Select the Paper tab,
and make sure that the Centred
option is checked in the Printable Area
panel. Also, check that the orientation (Landscape
or Portrait) matches the booklet
file page.
6.
Select OK to
close the <Printer Name>
Properties dialog box.
7.
In the Print
dialog box, ensure that the Reverse
Pages and Fit to Page options
are not checked. From the Print: drop-down menu at the bottom of
the page, choose Odd Pages Only.
8.
Select OK to
begin printing the two odd-numbered pages. Leave them until printing is
complete.
9.
In the printer out-tray, pick up the two-page stack by its
right and left edges. Flip it lengthwise into the printer in-tray, so its blank
sides face up.
10.
Choose File | Print.
In the Print dialog box, select Even Pages Only.
11.
Select OK to
print the two even pages on the back of the odd pages.
Assembling and Trimming
1.
Fold the two sheets into a booklet – to do this, carefully
match up the page corners and fold down the midline with a sharp accurate
crease.
2.
Unless you have a better way to stitch together the booklet
- e.g. a long-arm stapler - glue the pages together at the fold, applying a
thin bead of flexible glue (Uhu or
similar) with a toothpick.
3.
With a sharp craft knife, metal ruler and cutting board, and
using the printed cropping guides to keep the cuts aligned, trim the booklet to
its final size of 119 mm wide and 119 mm high. It will then fit neatly inside
the Lakeside… CD insert.
Serving Tip
Enjoy alone or with friends in a comfy sofa, to the
accompaniment of your favourite popular music CD. Garnish with booze or coffee
to taste.
P.S.
Drop
me an e-mail (smuldal@hotmail.com) if
you have any problems. Note that a slightly better-quality version is available
from me if you can print Adobe Pagemaker
files.
