Publisher Booklets not PDF friendly?

[T.J. Warner]

I have a booklet that I need to convert to a PDF file. My problem has
been that when the booklet is in 2-page view, if I save it as a PDF,
half of the right side page is lost when I convert it. So, when I turn
off 2-page view, it works fine. The one drawback is that I lost the
"booklet" format because each page is saved separately in the PDF.

How can I save my booklet in PDF without losing the formatting of the
booklet?

Thanks in advance!

Are you using the PDFMaker add-in that comes with Acrobat 7?

Hi Ed!

Yes... I am. Is there another way which will allow me to use the
booklet feature?

Thanks!

It sounds like the former option isn't working due to some kind of bug with
PDFMaker.

I would use the latter option (single pages in the PDF file) and then use
the Continuous - Facing view option in Adobe Reader to make it look like a
booklet again. That way it's also easier to read if you've zoomed in, as
you can scroll through rather than having to scroll left and right all the
time.

Thanks Ed,

I'll give it a shot!
