Printing InDesign Booklets as PDFs

If you don't have access to InDesign from where you will print it may be easier to first convert your InDesign document to a High Quality PDF. This will generate a layout spread (numbered pages are in sequential order) which can be converted to a printer spread using the Adobe Reader Booklet feature.
