Hi everyone,

I've found some really good PDF files from Guideposts: http://www.dailyguideposts.com/positivethinking/positivebooklets.asp

However, when I print them, one is very strange. I'm wondering if it's an American thing. Look at this one: http://www.dailyguideposts.com/giveaways/GP_TrsustBooklet3.pdf

Ok, now the front cover is on the left hand side of the page. If I folded that in half to form a booklet, the front cover would be on the back. Wouldn't it?!

Ok, looking at the main pages now. Only the odd numbers are present: 3, 5, 7, 9 etc. This suggests that the pages are meant to be folded in two - i.e., that they are supposed to form two pages. But how can I do this? If I fold them all in half, then half the introduction (page 3) will be at the beginning of the booklet, and half at the end. All the pages will be split. What am I meant to do with it?!

I would appreciate any enlightenment .... !

i think they are not designed for printing.

page one of the pdf file is the cover,
page two is the info page and title/contents,
page three is the introduction (pgs 2 & 3),
page four is pgs 4 & 5, etc....

they are open-book spreads, as you would see it when reading the paper booklet.
it's designed for reading online, not printing.

to print it out into a real booklet, you would have to cut and paste (using the copy text tool) into Word or Publisher or some such, and organize the pages yerself.

you could always print it out as is and instead of folding it, put them in a binder or a doutang, and turn the binder to the side to read....
