Printing a book - I want to shift the printing away from the spine

[flyboy]

I am preparing to print this book. I have not decided on the type of binding yet. It's a toss up between this and a variation of this.

Method one is labour intensive, but I end up with a book that will lay fairly flat after it is finished.

What my issue is: I want to be able to shift the PDF so it prints away from the spine so that I have extra room at the spine, so I can decide later if I want to do the Japanese binding. Right now when I print the book on one side there is a 1 9/16" on the right side of the page and 1 3/8" on the left side of the page.

So- How do I shift the PDF away from the spine?

Try using your printer setup page instead of the PDF format, it has more settings than the PDF App. has, especially for margins and sizes..

Or you use a program like Fineprint which acts like a virtual printer and allows you to use several settings for book(let) printing. You print first to the Fineprint driver, adjust the settings and print from Fineprint to your actual printer.
I have seen other utilities for book(let) printing with similar functions.
