I googled a lot but couldn't find the right answer. I designed a booklet on A6 paper that I want to print to an A4 paper. I got as far as printing it to a A5 pdf size and then print that again (so you get four pages/two slides) on one a4 page. I want my booklet to be printed like this:

Could someone help me?

    ID can't print two-up from a one-up file. If your printer can't do it either (most likley from a PDF), then yuo should place the file twice into an A4 document and print that. To help with that you can use the script at InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Zanelli Releases MultiPageImporter for Importing both PDF and INDD Files and run it twice.
