InDesign Brochure Question... please help

[handsome rob]

I have a brochure that was created in InDesign that I need to make some changes to.

The original brochure was a portrait layout and I need to create a mini-brochure by putting 2 portrait pages on each landscape page(which will then be stapled in the middle and folded). We've tried just printing the original PDF and setting it to do a mini-brochure, but it leaves too much white space at the top and bottom of the document.

I started a new landscape document and set some guides and began copying the pages over and manually sizing them, but this is destroying the quality of the images when I print. GD Forum... lend me your guidance!!

sounds like it's a printer margin thing. most printers have a margin for the grippers so nothing will be printed there.

are you sizing them UP? that could be what is detrying the quality

you know I just realized that the print quality is going out the window because I copied the document from another machine on my network here at work. Now I'm doing everything off that machine so the paths don't get messed up and the print quality is much better. Still wish there were an easier way to do this though.
