Ma page 1 est seule à droite, puis dans une planche double 2 à gauche et 3 à droite, puis 4 a gauche et 5 à droite. Comment ramener 28 à gauche de 1, puis inverser 2 et 3 pour préparer une impression recto verso chez moi et non à l imprimerie.

Merci de votre réponse!

Tips to the OP:

Make a copy of your file first.
Page count must be divisable by 4.
Even page numbers on left (verso) and odd page numbers on right (recto).
You can confirm the proper arrangement of a self-imposed 2/2 "signature" by making sure the pages add up to the total page count plus one. For example, for 28 pages, the page numbers should add up to 29 for each spread.
Presumedly, you have a duplex printer, so following @Eugene Tyson layout, print four pages at a time.

Thank you very much. I finally made it by exporting each page one by one and reorganizing the order of my pages as I wished. Previously, I could put them in the wanted order but the program changed the numbering of tha pages, and that fooled me. So thank you anyway!

Are you doing something like this?

Created a 28 page document

Then for printing started moving pages in the page panel?
So you've ended up with this?

And want the Page 28 beside page 1?
Make sure in the Pages panel that the option is turned off

Then drag page 28 up beside page 1

That can certainly work, although I've had good luck with the Print Booklet feature. This method is a problem if the page count changes.

Absolutely, I'm just wondering have all the pages been rearranged already and they can't get the last page to sit next to page 1.

Seems like that's what the original query was.

I just offered it as a potential solution as it wasn't mentioned already.

Check if you printer doesn't have this option - or better yet - use Booklet option in Acrobat.

@Robert at ID-Tasker brings up a good point. Why NOT have the printing house impose the document?

OP is printing at home 😉 And in this case - by "printer" - I meant "home / desktop printer" 😉

You want to use the Print Booklet option under the File menu.

If on Windows, print to the Adobe PDF print driver. If on a Mac, you will need to print to a PostScript file and drop that on Acrobat Distiller.

Le plus simple est d'utiliser la fonction « imprimer le cahier ». InDesign disposera automatiquement les pages de manière à obtenir un document recto verso prêt à être imprimé.
