I'm working on a project that needs to create PDF files of
brochures. OOo seems to honor the brochure setting (Tools >

here? I've been using a pseudo-printer (PrimoPDF) to get the file,
but something has now gone terribly wrong with that and I haven't
figured it out yet. (I suspect my system may be slowly dying,
strange things are happening frequently :-( )
Adobe Reader will print files saved as PDF as a brochure. I use this
all the time since brochure printing in OO.o 3 does not work on Macs
(Supposed to be fixed for OO.o 3.3).
I don't see any booklet support native in Adobe Reader (version 8.1.7
on Vista Home Premioum); it allows me to use my printer settings, but
none of the combinations ends up with what I want -- at least, I've
tried every which way and ended up with various unusable layouts. And
while I know our print service can deal with the side-by-side layout,
I don't know about other layouts....
I'm using version 9.2. The feature may be new in version 9. You can
find it in the print dialogue under "Page Scaling:".

Ah! I missed that one somehow -- didn't think of this as a scaling
issue, and I'd have to redesign my pages to cope with this setting. It's
not intended to be scaled, and as is, the content goes way in toward the
fold. I think it's reducing everything. With different page styles and
margin settings, I could probably make this work. But I'd have to work
with all the other folks who sometimes do the printing, since it changes
the process. Thanks for the pointer, though!
