| where’s page 1 supposed to go? |
Hmm. Let’s see. How to begin?
For starters, we’ll just say you’re setting up a 32-page book that will saddle-stitch. What page do you start with? 32? 16?
no!
Just start with page 1. Page 2 should be page 2. It goes in order. Page 32 will be….wait for it….care to take a guess? 32. Go figure.
Unless your printer tells you otherwise, and I can’t really think of a reason they might, your book will more than likely be imposed in imposition software. This software is really expecting your document to be in the order in which you’d like the finished product. Any other page order will require manual intervention on the part of a human rather than the automated imposition that makes a prepress department more efficient. If you don’t believe me, or are unsure about how to proceed, just ask your printer. They’ll be more than happy to help.
