Cocoa Booklet

Question

Cocoa Booklet

I am trying to create a 12 page booklet using cocoa booklet. The page setup and margins are set correctly in cocoa booklet;however, when I create a booklet, it "shrinks the vertical printed page from 8.5 to approximately 7 inches, leaving a 3.4 inch white margin on top and bottom.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Michael

Welcome to Apple Discussions Michael

The problem is that half of a US Letter-size page is not the same proportions as the full letter-size page. (Unlike international paper sizes where A5 is exactly half of A4.) Start with your Pages document in Legal size & larger than normal font size then create your PDF. You'll find the "fit" much better.

I'm having the same issue. I'm printing a single page horizontal bulletin. I've tried using US Legal and increasing font size but I'm still getting large margins (all sides) when I print. Is it a pages issue or cocoa booklet? I need the text to fill the page. Thanks for your help.

smitty,

By any chance, do you have the Comments feature in Pages turned on? If so, shut them off, and try again.

What do you have set for margins in CocoaBooklet's preferences? I have all of the margins & gutters set at zero.
