I have a long pdf, in 8.5x11. It contains, say, 50 DIFFERENT 4-page booklets, or 200 8.5x11 pages. I want to create an 11x17 pdf in "printer spreads". That is, there would now be 100 11x17 pages in this single pdf. Pages would be 4-1, 2-3, 8-5, 6-7, etc. Note that I don't want to actually print this, but to create a pdf like this, to send to a printer. Is this possible in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro? I could do this in either Windows or Mac.

Hi gblock,

My question here would be a responsibility one. The print provider should be imposing the final document themselves since they have the expertise. You would produce you multi-page PDF as per normal and the print provider would impose on their end and most of he time to fit their substrate/press sizes.

Kindest regards,

Jon

We did find a Copy Central that would do this. But the less expensive option, a digital printer, said it would cost a lot more money for such pre-processing.

Since it is apparently not possible in Acrobat Pro, is there another program we could/should be using?
