brochure print help

[cheeky_chops]

Been sent some brochures designs (pdf and indesign files) that were created in America. Thought it was going to be easy to print job done.... Been looking and no where seems to offer the right paper size/layout, thinking is it cut to size or its a US thing?

The pdf properties say its 23" x 9" landscape
Ive downloaded a free (read clueless) trial of indesign - the pages are 447mm x 171mm or 17.5" x 6.75" if im right
The brochure should be a square, 6 panel, 2 fold design but the right flap isnt equal sized, its half size or approx 85mm
I cant find this or similar papersize at all

Any advise apprecaited

Any "proper" print company will be able to print, trim and fold to whatever size is specified in the file. Don't look at the cheap online print companies, they are set up to print very standard things in bulk and won't touch complicated jobs.

How many are you looking at getting printed?

Thanks yes think thats the issue. Ive had a couple of PH "proper printers" msg me so they are going to have a gander.


edit - ffs i meant to put it in the business section....

yeah - don't touch InDesign unless you know what you're doing.

Just bung it all over to a decent printer.

Glad i asked as pretty easy in the end going with a proper printer! Should get them in a week.

Many thanks River_Rat
