How do I convert a booklet PDF to normal A4 PDF?

[H***@adobeforums.com]

Hi,
We have certain reports that come from a third-party as Booklet PDFs and need to convert them to normal A4 size PDFs before publishing them. Can anyone tell us how to do this?

1. How to do it individually? and
2. Is there a script or something that can be used to convert such PDFs' format as a batch?

A quick reply will be very helpful and highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Hari

What does this have to do with InDesign?

You'll get more help in the Acrobat forum but you'll need better
details. What's booklet PDF and what's your definition of a normal PDF?

If I'm guessing correctly, you are asking how to unimpose a booklet set up as printer spreads so you can post it as individual pages.

The short answer is that you don't. You make a new PDF from the original file.

If that's not possible, be prepared for a lot of work placing the pdf into ID and cropping off half of each spread (you'll eventually place every spread twice) and rearranging the cropped halves into consecutive order.
