Guys, thanks so much for your answers.
<div><br></div><div>A little bit about my background just so everyone is clear..... I am familiarize with booklet printing. I have been printing my own booklets successfully for 10 years. It's Scribus I'm not familiar with. I have a xerox laser printer that does dulex so it knows what to do :) Previously I was using Indesign and I was printing booklets fine with that. Recently I started contracting designers to work for me but felt I couldn't ask them to purchase such an expensive program so Scribus was my solution for them. </div>
<div><br></div><div>John.... what you describe to me in your post seems way above my head. I'm not familiar with scripts and how I go about doing that without step by step instructions.</div><div><br></div><div>Bob, you explained that perfectly understandable to me and I believe that is my problem also. I can write to pdf (eg print with cutiepdf) and then use adobe reader to print a booklet, but when I export from scribus or Indesign (and this only started happening in the past year) and print a booklet from the pdf, I get those extra margins.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This is the reason I was asking if I can print directly from Scribus as I do with Indesign. That I see as being the best solution, which maybe what John is describing.... but I would need more details to understand the script things and how to implement them. Sorry, just don't know that stuff.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Bob, I would definitely be interested in hearing more about your solution with the pdf because I hire someone who will also be doing the printing from pdfs rather than scribus when I travel so if you can help me further in that direction, I'd greatly appreciate it also.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks so much guys, for all your answers.</div><div>Ruth</div><div><br></div>
