A5 Insert Printing (print directly on A5 Paper) - Quick Guide

This Quick Guide is for printing A5 size inserts directly onto A5 paper. 

 

Step 1: Choose the correct file and reader program

Make sure you have downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader (it is free!) or another trusted PDF reader you are comfortable using. Open A5 single PDF. 

Step 2: Open the Print Menu

Open your PDF and select Print from the Menu drop down or by clicking the printer icon.

Step 3: Page selection & orientation

Set the following options:

1. Pages to Print: All Pages

2. Orientation: Portrait (or auto if it has set your orientation correctly in the preview)

3. Pages per Sheet: 1

See end of Step 5 for screenshot of full print instructions

Step 4: Paper size & scaling

Choose the following settings:

• • Paper size: A5

  • Scaling: Actual Size (100%)
    
    

Step 5: Duplex settings

If your printer is not set up for automatic double-sided printing, please head to our Manual Duplex Printing Quick Guide. If your printer is capable of printing duplex, follow the below settings: 

1. Select Print on both sides

2. Set to Flip on Long Edge (also written as Flip Over in some programs)

3. Print your document

NOTE: Some printers have special requirements for duplex printing and may set flip parameters differently. Please follow your printer’s instructions for duplex printing if they differ from the steps above.
