    InDesign - Print Booklet to PostScript doesn't work?

    I'm using CS4 and have recently upgraded to Snow Leopard.

    I noticed that Adobe has moved its Adobe PDF printer from printers list to Save As section now. All fine.

    When I used to print a booklet from InDesign to PDF I would select Adobe PDF printer, select the paper size (Defined by driver) and all would be fine.

    Now, as Adobe PDF printer is no longer listed as an option (and can't be added as a printer in General Settings/Print&Fax section) I used PostScript printer.

    Preview looks ok (two A5 pages, one next to another, making it a landscape A4), but when I check the summary, and check the Setup section, it says Paper Size: A4, Page Orientation: Portrait. Which is wrong. It should be A4 (or Defined by driver) and Landscape orientation.

    When I try to edit PostScript Print settings, everything is greyed out.

    When I distill a .ps file I then get A4 portrait pages with A4 landscape (2x A5 portrait) artwork on them - part of artwork cut off and empty space on top.

    My question therefore is, how do I edit the PostScript setting when printing a booklet? And how to get a proper PDF when printing a booklet?

    I hope this makes sense.
