    Hi,

    if you like to have page 4 side by side with page 1 do the following:

    1. Set Start Page # to 4

    2. Open the Pages panel and select page 5 that now is the second page of your document:

    3. Open the context menu and open "Numbering and Sections"

    4. Start new section beginning with page 1

    After clicking OK:

    If you want to print or export pages in numbering order do so by writing 1-3,4 in the input field.
    Do not select All, that would print or export in pages order as seen from the Pages panel: 4,1-3.

    Regards,
    Uwe

    There are few ways, one of them is to select "Numbering & Section Options" from the Pages panel fly-out menu, change the "start Page Numbering at: 2, click OK.

      This is normal and correct. When you have a cover there's no left hand page and the back cover doesn't have a right hand page. Are you printing this yourself on a desktop printer or putting it out to a commercial litho printer?

        Nornally your printer would undertake the page imposition. I suggest you discuss this with your printer. Usually you would supply your printer with a PDF created from the Adobe PDF presets that are supplied in InDesign. Select PDFX-4 and as single pages (not spreads), and tick Use Document Bleed Settings.
