Hello All,

I am just new to Adobe Indesign.

I am given a task of designing a brochure in A4 size.

The first page is the cover page, and the last page is the contact us page (So no problem in designing)

The pages 2-3, 3-4,4-5 have a different theme respectively. So I had to use the whole spread to describe the theme.

Now the problem is that, The document is superb in Pdf format.

But we need to print it. and bind it by stiches or staples.

So for printing each spread should contain different pages (Hope you got)..

How do I do it??

Is there any option or I have to swap the pages?

    Then it's the printer's job to do the imposition unless he explicitly asked you to do it (in which case you really should find another printer or get a huge discount). You should export the file to PDF as single pages and he'll take it from there.

    Are you printing yourself in house, or sending it out?

    I am just confirming once again..

    My spread will contain different pages like the brochure is of 12 pages so the order will be so

    As shown in the figures below.

    Consider the pages as the A3 pages which will be folded to make the A4 pages.
