Needing help to re-design my document from 34 pgs to 36pgs with tricky design layout

You have some real challenges built into this document. Most of which we can only help you with after you get some answers from your printer representative. Before you can (or maybe should) consider what any of us have to say at this stage, you need to get with your printer. To use technical terms, right now this job is fraught with peril.

Lots of stuff needs to be done to turn what you’ve shown to us into a quality result. As you put this out to bid/select who is going to print your job, sit down with selected print rep(s) and show your work. You have lots of complications built into this PDF you want to print.

This looks like you want a high-end/high quality piece that will reflect well on your firm. If you want this to be a great result that you’re proud of, you will have to do some rework on these materials. That goes without saying. But good printer representatives will be able to save you some of that reworking, and some of those printers may be able to save you from more of those fixes than others. Because they want, and want you to be happy, doing business with them. The best ones will be able to guide you in how to fix the rest of what needs to be done yourself, or get those needed fixes where you can’t. 

If you put this out to bid, you’ll get good advice from multiple sources. For free. They may (who am I kidding — will) try to sell you additional services they provide or contract to take care of everything. But even if you decide to work with one printer, showing what you’ve got, telling them exactly what you want, honestly asking for their input and taking it to heart will save you money, time and heartache when you let them into the process from the very beginning.

Printers love to show off high-end jobs like this that come off perfectly. If you do this really right, they’ll even run off extra copies show it off like your own business cards to get more print business for themselves. It’s in your mutual best interest to let your print rep(s) know what you’ve got and what you want to get now. 

If we can help you with answers on little, technical issues we’d be glad to help. But the folks who can give you the best answers right now are whoever you’re going work with to get the best printed results.

Hope this helps,

Randy

While you're at it: this text on page 24 is justified. Everywhere else it is left-aligned.

I would add 2 pages before the back cover, with a photo collage from the existing images.

The size of your document may be a problem, depending on how you wanted to print this. As a horizontal layout, the spread size is larger than your average digital press, so you would need to find someone that has something that can accommodate that, like a large format Indigo. Otherwise you are looking at offset. 

I would consider dropping down to 32 pages, removing page 15 and 25. If you need the quotes, you can combine them on other pages. 

If printing on the same paper throughout, that would be two 16-page signatures. If you print the cover separately, you would need to do an 16, 8, and 4 for the internal pages.
