@Mattias: Thank you for that link. Looks like I’m not the only one who was curious about that workflow. So this was AIR… perhaps the future is InDesign to XFL to Flash to tablet? Sounds like I may need to learn actionscript after all.

Hi David
I think you can find alot of answers on your Adobe & Wired questions from the blogpost at Adobe Blogs/Digital Publishing – http://bit.ly/9T0jvq

@Diane
Instead of Acrobat, you could check out Cheap Imposter for the Mac.

http://www.cheapimpostor.com/

It’s free and it’ll impose your PDF into printers pairs – it’ll even give you PDFs you can manually duplex. I use it all the time when I’m in a rush.

@Bill: Yes, I know about epub export from ID, but I don't think that's Wired is doing here. ePub is very rudimentary publishing. Wired's demo (like this video that Sports Illustrated made) is definitely not epub. It's flash based or an actual app. Thank you for the kind comments on Real World InDesign!

David,

InDesign publishes to e-books. See:
http://blogs.adobe.com/digitaleditions/indesign-epub.html

I want to compliment you and Olav Martin Kvern on Real World InDesign CS4. Excellent. Only wish on it is that it needs color but you have given readers a better step-by-step set of how-to-do-its than I’ve found elsewhere.

Keep up the good work.

David, thanks, I’ve been to forums and read some of what other users had to say and their workarounds but to date none have worked for me… HOWEVER, your method of moving the acrobat pages around appeals to me and i’ll explore that. Thanks especially because i’ve got a 40 page document coming up soon that goes to a printer who requires printer spreads (some still dont and prefer pdf reader page order (god bless em)
so its off to Acrobat i go to check out the imposition plug in.
thanks again

@diane: I would encourage you to write something in the forums (click Forums in the nav bar above) about this. You can move pages around if you first turn off Allow Pages to Shuffle in the pages panel menu.

But in general, it’s way easier to just create the pdf normally, then use an Acrobat imposition plug-in to move the pages around.
