As an IT technician working for a copier sales and service company, I always discourage page imposition in the document itself. Most print drivers have a means of producing booklets and handle the imposition for you. If you are indeed producing booklets, I assume they need to be center stapled as well.
Adobe has it’s own means of imposing pages for a booklet. Typically I advise having Reader impose the pages, then everything else can be handled in the actual print driver properties. That of course is only for Adobe products.
