Hi David…thanks for your advice. I'll look into Page Control. I think I might also take your advice and print out your earlier post for the printer-spread-loving printer!

Thanks to you both for your responses! The booklet is a cover weight booklet, 22 pages, with pockets on the interiors of the inside covers (front and back), tabs every other page, AND a fold out page in the center of the book. Whew! The printer has given me 5 different pdf files with names such as “pages 7, 8 and 13, 14.pdf” Each pdf is completely different because each page size is slightly different, not to mention the fold-outs and tabs. It's making my head spin! Of course, I need to send my client a pdf in reader spreads so they can approve the book, so I think my only choice is to work in ID (CS3) in reader spreads, get it approved as such, and then cut & paste it apart and place it in printer spreads. Such a pain. Or, maybe I could download the 30-day free trial of CS5?? I spoke with the printer again today and told their pre-press guy that I've never had a printer request this of me and he basically admitted they don't want to put the time into it. I think it's a low-paying job for them as my client has only ordered 500 of these complicated little buggers. This printer is the one who designed this custom book and therefore, I'm stuck using them. Again, thanks for your opinions!!!
