I am trying to imposition an InDesign booklet myself because I have to export as a PDF. I am going to print from a printer that doesn't have InDesign.
I made a copy of the document and then I am planning to shuffle the pages around into the correct impositioned order. I am wondering if there is a way to keep the page numbers unchanging while you shuffle around? Because when I move the pages InDesign updates the numbers.
Open a new InDesign document the same size as your original InDesign document.
Use File > Place to place individual pages from
the original InDesign file into your new file.
Impose pages in the new file however you need.
Page number in the original will not change.
Retain both files.
If you need to edit the original do so in the original file. When you open the imposed file after editing the original, merely update the links.
