Printing Game Manuals

[MarioMania]

Is it possible??

Not for Reselling, Just having it..in my own collection

Like Genesis ,NES , Famicom or the SNES..like I want to try to make a couple manual's..on ebay it cost alot

Bonk's Adventure NES
TMNT Tounement Fighters NES
Ninja Gaiden Trilogy SNES

I don't really care if it's a Repro, I know the real thing is out of my price range, the boxes are also not cheap

No shit, Sherlock.  No, I was going to draw it from scratch in Illustrator.

Actually, that wouldn't be a bad idea.

[nintendodork]

That would be really cool if someone had the skill to make GOOD drawn covers for this kind of stuff.  I posted the scanner because if MM has to make this kind of thread, I figured I'd get the obvious out of the way.

Nice Joke, nintendodork

I don't even have the manuals on hand..like getting the scans on the net & printing out the pages..I know if not hard to do..but how much ink it uses if I want a color manual

like too get the pages right in order

I think I might be able to stay in that print class.

You see - I've had a stint of bad luck ever since I started it:

-my Zelda manual that I brought to class was lost by the instructor
-I bought the textbook but received the wrong one
-I lost the receipt for the $55 material fee (<--okay that last one was on me)

I can't prove that I paid the fee (couldn't get another receipt copy)

But I figure I can tell the instructor that I paid, & use that lost manual as blackmail a guilt trip device...

unless he has no soul (like my PolySci professor).

This has everything to do with printing manuals. I think.

I have always wanted a manual to my NES version of Uninvited, Also most of the manuals are available on NintendoAGE.

They're a little pricy, but better than nothing?

I saw a site that has pdf Scan's including Bonk's Adventure NES..I can't remember it...

[xyzzy32]

I use replacementdocs for my instruction manual needs, but does anyone know of any way to print out pdfs in foldable booklet format?

[Jedi Master Baiter]

InDesign?

[xyzzy32]

After a bit of internet searching, it looks to me like InDesign only prints basic two-page-per-sheet booklets. All the more reason for me to learn C and write my own program that can do four per sheet.

[Jedi Master Baiter]

Are you kidding me? InDesign is supposed to be the industry standard for printing.  Why the hell would it be if it were so limited (I haven't gotten around to really using it, so I can't really help you with it .

Then there's Quark.

Hey, wait a minute! I remember laying out an 8-page manual booklet using InDesign. Are you sure you know what you're doing?

[MarioMania]

Wow, $200 for the Program

How did you layout 8 sheets??

With a Manual you have to print on both sides of the Paper, Can InDesign do that??

That's really more of a printer feature than a software feature.
