Found out how to make a PDF in spreads from a InDesign Book document... Also the last page of a document/chapter and the first page of the next document/chapter will be printed as a spread! YEAH...

I do believe there must be a more efficient way to do it, but since nobody could tell me how... I have to do it the inefficient way! This is how i did it:

Make a single page PDF of the InDesign Book document (indb)
In the menu of the InDesign Book panel/window select
- Export Book to PDF

Open PDF in Acrobat Professional (PDF 1)

Delete first page !!!

Save As... (different name) (PDF 2) !!!

File Print...

Print (pop-up window)
- Printer: Adobe PDF 8.0 / 9.0
Copies & Pages (Print submenu)
- Page Scaling: Multiple pages per sheet
- Pages per scheet: Custom: 2 by 1
- Page Order: Horizontal
Layout (Print submenu)***
- Pages per sheet: 2
[Print]

Save (pop-up window)
Save As: ... (documentname)(PDF 3)
Select location on you computer
[Save]

Open PDF 1 and PDF 3
Select first page off PDF 1
Drag an drop it in front of the spreads of PDF 3

Save this PDF (PDF 4)

Now i have a PDF of my book in spread,
except for the first page, which is a single page.

Unfortunately there is a white margin/area around the spreads,
because the Acrobat Print option Multiple pager per sheet does not make the pages Fit/Shrink to Printable Area.

* ** Layout (Print submenu); Pages per sheet: 2 First i did not select this option, Acrobat was mixing up the Pages in the wrong order.
