Improve — make it easier to accept
+The print shop rejects our files when spreads are wrong. Produce a printer-spread PDF for our 12-page saddle-stitched program with proper imposition, [bleed=3mm] bleed, crop marks, and a separate single-page proof for internal review. Explain why you chose that spread order and how to check for page sequence errors before sending to the printer.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+Our last 16-page booklet was printed with pages in the wrong order and cost extra. I have an [InDesign] file and the printer requires imposed spreads for saddle-stitching. I’m unsure whether to provide single pages plus imposed spreads or only imposed spreads, and worried about bleed, slug, and fold placement. Tell me the safest deliverable set to send the printer (spread PDF, single-page proof, or both), explain imposition order for saddle-stitch 12- and 16-page booklets, and list preflight checks to avoid the same mistake again.

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
