I have a PDF file, which pages are 2 in one A4 sheet, also containing bleed, color range and other data. pages are ordered in reading spread, 4,5,6,.. I needed to print it as a booklet. so, I have Adobe CS software, I thought I should first divide all the pages in halves. then try inpositioning with another software or dramatically by hand. what should I do, could anybody help me?
by the way, i'm currently downloading PDF Enhancer 2.6 Adboe Acrobat Plug-in from Actino Software for a 10 day trial, which is said to be capable of impositioning.
well, I'm totally confused, so, please send your helps, thank you.

As I understand it your brochure is a A5 when folded. If you created two pages on a A4 every time impositioning can't help you. You will have to do it by hand because impositioning takes the document size (A4 in your case) and will imposition with these settings in mind.
Normally you would create your document at the final size (A5 in your case) and then do the impositioning. The program will create then an A4 with pages 1 & 16 put together, 2 & 15 and so on.

Hope this it explains it
