If Windows, you can use the following:
Like before, build your document in reader spreads:
Go to the Print Booklet menu:
In the Print Booklet dialog box, click on Print Settings:
In Print Settings, select the Adobe PDF print driver; set your paper size to Custom, and set the Marks and Bleed settings as desired/required; click OK when finished:
Check the Preview settings for proper page order:
Inspect the PDF in Acrobat:
OK--I'm assuming the document is short and about 8 pages. Your total page count DOES have to be a multiple of 4 pages (4, 8, 12, etc.). There are automated ways of doing this and I would agree that any printer worth their salt should be doing it for you. Be sure to work on a copy of your original document by doing a Save As.
1. Section your document the in what's called "reader spreads":
Right click on the sections and type in the right section and page number. I usually put cover C3 and C4 at the end. Your numbering system may be different.
2. Section each page.
3. Select all the pages and turn off "Allow Selected Spreads to Shuffle"
4. Carefully move the pages in "printer spreads" looking for the brace indicating where the page is going. If it does not go in the correct position, simply move it again. In this example, I'm move C4 to the left of C1.
5. Finish moving all the other pages in proper order.
