PDF files and Publisher

Post by **Chroelle** » Mon May 21, 2007 12:23

Hey again guys.

I am currently trying to make my workplaces monthly magazine into pdf files so they can be viewed on our website. Unfortunately, they are folded A4 size, so tis means that pages 1 and 14 are siding eachother instead of pages 1 and 2.
This means the PDF print ends up being:
Page
1-14
2-13
3-12
4-11
5-10
6-9
7-8

And that doesn't work properly. Does anybody know of a method to make it show like
1-2
3-4
5-6
7-8
9-10
11-12
13-14?

I use CutePDF to make PDF's.

What is the original format? .doc? You could try changing the options with word, and then doing the conversion. (But I do not really master the word, so I cannot tell exact instructions, nor can I tell if it works for sure...)

Sorry I wasn't being clear in the explanation of the issue. I use Microsoft Publisher for the newspaper. That means the extension is .pub. And it is extremely annoying, since we need the first kind of setup (1-14) for the actual paper version of the paper, but we need the 1-2 version for the pdf internet version.

Sorry C. I cannot help you then

I have never used M$ Publisher, and I know no apps that support the pub files

So I do not really know how to fix it.

EDIT: Oh, have you tried if word can open pubs? If it can, can you change the layout with word, save to pub/doc/whatever, and convert it to pdf then?

I haven't used Publisher at all either. I guess Publisher, like InDesign, has something that might be called "depagination". Or was it that you need to paginate in InDesign first, ie in InDesign the pages print out 1-12 by default... but I can't remember.
