IDCS 1.0 How to arrange pages to print brochure?

Question

I'm qualified to do fairly simple documents on IDCS 1.0, but that's all. I've done a twelve page brochure to be read by scrolling one page after another. Now, I need to prepare a version that can be run on a FedEx-Kinkos' Xerox Docucolor printer to produce a printed brochure that can be stapled in the middle and folded in half to make it look like a book with text and artwork on every page. I understand that page 1 needs to be on the first page on the right side (of the facing pages) and page 12 on the left and that on the back of that page, call it the second page, page 2 is on the left and page 11 on the right and so forth until all pages are finished. The printer will first print facing pages on the "front" of a page and then turn the page over and print the next set of facing pages on the "back" of that same page and then print on the "front" of the next page and so forth. Please forgive me for using the word "pages" for two different things, but I don't know any other words to describe what I'm trying to do.
I've never done this before and I can't really make sense of ID's help items. I opened a new document with the intent of copying a page from the source document and pasting it in the appropriate location on the new, destination document. I tried to set up facing pages to get this going, but I always get a single page at the beginning and another single page at the end of the document. I can't get them all to be facing pages.
Questions:
1. Is there a way to get IDCS 1.0 to do the desired arranging automatically by operating on a second copy of the single paged (non facing) document?
2. If not, how do I get the pages window to show only facing pages. It seems stuck with a single page at the beginning and another single at the end of the document. I'd appreciate very much being pointed in the right direction. Thanks.

You are correct. InBooklet SE was no longer available to Adobe after Quark bought ALAP. Adobe did replace the functionality to some degree with a "print booklet" feature for output. However, it cannot be used for PDF export.
Our recommendation is generally that page imposition is absolutely not an appropriate task to be performed in a page layout program which better handles pages in logical page order. Imposition is best performed by the print service provider at the RIP or via their PDF workflow software. Another very good solution is to impose the document (whether doing n-up, step-and-repeat, booklets, etc.) in Acrobat. Simple booklets can be readily printed by Acrobat Pro. More complex imposition tasks yielding a new, fully imposed PDF file of print flats can be handled by some third party plug-ins for Acrobat including Quite Software's "Quite Imposing" and "Quite Imposing Plus.
