Hello Fellow Corel Users....
I am trying to create a booklet using Corel X4, but I cannot change the page so I can view 2 pages next to each other (like you can in adobe indesign setup) so when I PDF it out, it includes the 2 page spread??
Any chance you guys can help me??
Final Size: A4,
32 page booklet
Thanks
Shirish
Hi Shirish,
do you already have the document set up as a book or booklet in CorelDraw? Are you using Publish to PDF or printing using the Adobe PDF Printer? Regardless of which method you use, or even if you have your document set up as single page view only in CorelDraw, after generating the PDF you need to choose View>Page Display>Two Page View in Acrobat Reader. I am looking at Acrobat Reader X, the wording may be slightly different in version 9.
You may know better than I do, but as far as I know.... even with a properly set up book/booklet..... Acrobat Reader will always show the front cover and the first inner page side-by-side, rather than the book cover on its own as a right page, then pages 2 & 3 together, etc. When you output a PDF from InDesign is this what you get too?
Best regards,Brian.
Hi Brian,
Thanks for the very quick response.
I figured it out how to setup my page (finally)
Suppose that you are doing an A4 magazine, you must create a new document with A4 page size. Then, double click on the page's border for go to Page Setup. Choose double of the real size (ie A3 horizontal is the same of two vertical A4), and go to "Layout" and choose "booklet" and "facing pages"
So thats my layout sorted in corel.....i can now start designing (after adding all the guidelines which is LONG)
Now when I PDF out using corel's own PDF program, Open the PDF and in adobe, I click on
View - Page display - click on 2 up...and also click on "show cover page during 2 up" and bingo it works....
shame the PDF wont open each time with the 2 up version....alsoways have to click on the "view - page display etc.....
Thanks for your help mate
