so i’ve seen you’re quite interested in creating an indesign brochure. (at least google’s analytics) tells me that you’ve search it in order to get to me. 
so, after you read how to create an indesign folding brochure, just see the options for folding an indesign brochure.
but before that, here’s how you should order the brochure pages in indesign:
1. first side should contain brochure’s pages (5-6-1. in this order!), like this:
enlarge indesign brochure face1
2. the verso of the brochure should contain pages (2-3-4. in this order!), like this:
enlarge indesign brochure verso
and now… here’s the options folding the brochure in indesign:
1. here is the clasic folding of an indesign brochure:

2. and the “fan” folding of a brochure in indesign:

values so i can follow up.i am really desparate to learn and i hope you will kindly help me.thanks in advance.
Hi Amir,
It’s not so complicated.
I think you want to make an A4 folded brochure. So the first step is to open a new document with this settings:
Number of pages: 2 without facing pages
Page size: A4
Margins: 10 mm
Bleed: 5 mm
And to help you more I’ll make a new tutorial, to see and follow every step.
Hello I was asked to create a program guide that folds like a road map. It will fold down to about 5″ x 4″ It will have 4 rows and 4 columns. I am unsure as to how this will fold and I want to make sure that the printer folds the program correctly. Any advice? I am unfamiliar with road map folds.
