OK, Adobe reader can do that, but it adds margins around the pages. When I have a centerpage (centerfold) with a photo that covers two pages, an irritating blank vertical splits the photo. When I sent the file to a professional printer the photo on the two pages is printed perfectly (no sign of a vertical gap). According to the printer he uses some kind of plug-in for adobe reader. Does anyone know how to fix this at home? Regards, Jan
