Fantastic. I’ve been trying to get both pages in an A1 concertina knifefold document to function as left hand pages. Your third solution does the business. Thank you again, you have ended an hour of trawling the net. The video presentation is so much better and simpler than trying to decipher “expert” opinion. I’m a fan!

David is right on the page position because the first spread would be a PRINTER’S spread and the rest of the pages are in READER’S spreads. This can and will cause confusion IF the publication goes to outside parties. Marie is correct ONLY if you are not sending the job out! Love the videocasts!

Thank GOD you already have video podcast, cause it’s easy to learn if you see it visually than to hear it in audio. Appreciate more video podcast.

I know Harbs made a script to do this automatically, but I can’t find it.

Right along with this discussion goes the quandry surrounding building facing pages with bleeds. I need to build spine bleeds, but want to use the inside/outside margin guides that come with facing pages. Seems I can’t do both things quickly/easily/elegantly. Any tips?

Przemyslaw, you’ll have to turn off Allow Spreads to Shuffle (as shown in the video) and then drag the pages together like that manually … IF the client needs to see them arranged like that in InDesign.

If you’re sending them a PDF, then don’t bother. Just use File> Print Booklet to make the imposed PDF.

Now that I can see it in the video, I can see that there’s a little arrow in the grabber hand that points left or right, telling you if the page you’re dragging will appear to the left or to the right of the spine. Ah-ha!
