Hello,
I have a book of 240 pages, which I need to print in sections of 16pp. But over two sheets - so not just one... Does anyone know how I can set this to be correctly imposed? I need two sheet with 4 pages up, double sided, one folded within the other so the order of pages is as follows:
Sheet 1 - pp. 1, 16, 8, 9
sheet 2 (back of 1) - pp 15, 2,10, 7
sheet 3 - pp 11, 6, 14, 3
sheet 4 (back of 2) - pp 5, 12, 4, 13
I know that I will have to send the sections separately - I.e. pp 1 - 16 = first section, pp 17 - 32 = second section etc... but how can I see the two sheets, how can I change the page numbers ? Does anyone know a clever trick how to set this up?
I have tried to choose from presets of layouts - the book is to be prefect bound, but there is not an option for it - or not an obvious one I can see...
Please help.
Many thanks
Lucie
I will suggest you a solution not only for this job, I0m sure it will be useful on the future: export as PDF (ie using PDF X/3, chooseCompatibilty with Acrobat 8.0, bleed and cropmarks) of course as idividual pages at real size (you can use facing pages on your document, the PDF file will be indidivual anyway), then go to http://imposeonline.com/ and create the imposition you need. Easy, fast and free
Ariel, thanks for sharing this one.

The first step is how to know the correct numbering sequence (ie 16-1, 2-15, etc). It's easy when you have only a few pages, but when you have a lot of pages or it's a books with several booklets, it's not so easy to imagine it. So, the best way is to take a sheet and fold as needed, on two, four or eight parts, for example, and then consecutively number each part. Then, unfolding the paper, we will see the correct numbering order and exact position.
