Dov,
Thanks for seeing my logic. Function has to come before form. Users are more important than developers. If a user on a 2-bit laser printer can't print his booklet from your software, please fix your software.
Because of this bug, our current workflow is to avoid Acrobat and OSX Yosemite 10.10.2 altogether, rather using an older MacPro running OSX 10.8.6, to use InDesign CC to print Postscript as booklets, Distill, then quality-check in Acrobat Pro and ship. Pagination done perfectly by InDesign.
I hope someday soon I will be able to skip all that old computer stuff, and just make my pdf's in pages and tell my client to use Acrobat to print booklets. Then I can just make pages, and my client can seamlessly (via Acrobat) do all the imposition and printing.
Aahhh.
On the borderless inkjet idea: this doesn't help with printing booklets from Acrobat, because Acrobat is putting space between the pages, and reducing the size of everything. No inkjet print driver can correct this. It just prints what the application gives it.
:+)
If you need any more feedback or specific information from me to grease the wheels on getting this fixed, please keep in touch. -- Thanks :+)
