InDesign : Changing from A4 to A3

Solved

Hello, hello!

So, here it is, I am currently making a magazine-style report in A4 format.
For optimal results, I will go to a printer, but this printer has asked me to prepare my document like a collage.

Basically, he wants me to prepare each page as they will be bound, so in A3 format since an A4 magazine consists of multiple A3 sheets folded in half.

So I need to prepare my A4 sheets in this A3 format (I have 32 pages): page 1 on the right -> page 32 on the left

then another: page 2 on the left -> page 31 on the right

and so on, so that I only have to print these A3 pages double-sided and staple them.

Did you understand me??

And so I wanted to know if there is a way to do this directly in InDesign? Thank you

Configuration: Windows 8 / Chrome 27.0.1453.110

Yes...

Your document must have a multiple of 4 pages (4, 8, 12, 16, etc.)

You create it in "facing pages" mode

Then in the "file / print booklet" menu, you choose: PDF printer. Book type "2-top saddle stitch".

The rest according to the provider's requirements....
