If you're sending it to a printer, they always do this sort of thing for you, so for your project, I would just do it by hand, since that's likely the point of the exercise.Export your regular layout in proper page order (1, 2, 3, etc) to PDF. Create a new document and then import that PDF (at import you can check the box to Show Import Options and then choose <em>all</em> the pages in the PDF), then set each page where it is supposed to be in the imposition order.Hope that helps! Jillian,

I am trying to make a quarto binded book but can not find a template on my INDESIGN program that will help me do this. If anyone knows an easier way rather than just resizing and copy/paste into four sections on my own that would be greatly appreciated!! Hi!!

And base 10 just makes more sense than base... erm... yeah ;)<strong>Alex</strong>, I do really want to talk to the prepress people, at the very least to get their opinions on common problems (I bet a lot of them think us designers just don't know <em>anything</em> about print!) and how they like files submitted. Most of our jobs go through a print broker, though, so I don't actually get a lot of contact with the print shop people. Kris,

Always hard for me to get my head around them because I'm yet to work in them, except for type.. Although I think I'll have to learn quickly for when I start setting up stuff for letterpress..It's actually amazing how much you can do when you talk to your printer.. or more specifically, the prepress guys.. i did work experience in a print shop and there is a world of difference between the reps at the front, who you would talk to the most, and the prepress guys.. it's those second bunch of guys who will make your jobs special and really help you out Ahhh the point and the pica..
