Do you mean when you give your printer InDesign native files he can 
impose them? and not impose PDFs?
By your website I see your magazine has a fair amount of pages : over 50 
pages... Of course anything (or most anything) can be done the hard way 
? somehow manually ? but printers normally rely on dedicated software to 
impose. (It is clearly a prepress task.) This software, unless being 
pretty much outdated, usually has the capabilities to impose PDFs... 
Maybe you can ask your printer again, or someone else at your printer?s 
premises...

 From what I know of Scribus, imposition is not yet available.

We use Dynagram?s Dynastrip. But you?ll find this kind of software comes 
at a steep price.

Sorry not to have a better answer. Someone else might take the relay!
