Indesign

In InDesign, it is possible to segregate the document into sections to specify different types of page numbers for different types of content. For example, if you’re creating a book, you might want to specify the beginning chapters such as Acknowledgements and Preface in Roman numerals, while the actual chapters have normal numbers.

To do this, you need to create “sections” of the document to tell InDesign that the numbering of each section is different. The section and numbering options can be accessed from the menu of the Pages panel.

Clicking the Numbering and Section Options… command will open a dialog box wherein you can specify the starting page number for the page that you’ve selected. You can also choose the style of numbering. The pages will follow the numbering system that you have chosen till you select another page and repeat the same process.

The new section will start from the new selected page and this time you can select another page numbering scheme.

Creating a Booklet

InDesign supports creating printer spreads for printing booklets. A printer spread refers to two or more pages that fall next to each other on a sheet of paper. For example, if you’re editing an 8-page booklet, the pages appear in sequential order in the layout window. However, in printer spreads, page 2 can be positioned next to page 7, so that when the two pages are printed on the same sheet, 3 folded, and collated, the pages end up in the appropriate order.

The process of creating printer spreads from layout spreads is called imposition. It is generally easier to work in Layout Spread where the pages are ordered sequentially.Converting your project to a printer spread should be done just before you’re ready to print.
