I would like to prepare brochure/magazine for printing, it should have 10 pages (exluding the front page and the one on the back), and I would like to have it in this layout: (check photos pls):





So the page is A4 size, and 2 pages should be next to each other (except the front and back page) and it is printed on A3 sized paper, which are subsequently folded/bent. There have to be bleeds, because the photo and yellow bar which should end at the edge.

How can this be done? I mean, I successfully prepared in Illustrator a 10 single-page A4 papers with bleeds, but... it would not be folded then, just associated with tailstock or something like that, no?

Thank you very much for your help and time! :-) Have a nice Saturday

this is not possible in the centre pinning process, you need to work as a form printing on 4 ups. and the total number of pages including the cover and the back cover should be multiple of 4. that means u should either have 8 pages or 12 pages including the cover and back cover. centre pinning is not possible if you want to have pages side by side.

Assuming you are printing this with an outside provider, you should be asking them because they will probably need these in a specific way. Generally what i would assume you will have to export your inner pages as single A4 pages and then separately export your covers (front and back) as A3 (most likely a centimeter less wide than A3, so it can bend properly). But all of this should be discussed with the printing company, especially if your experience is limited.
