Thanks -- and I believe that section handling is a bit flaky... The way that I settled upon, and just got working, is to walk the pages, walk the text frames, and do a search and replace on each text frame, replacing the SpecialCharacters.autoPageNumber with the actual page name. That was the last obstacle -- I think I can now post a new and improved Booklet CE script. Hooray! See www.carlsenenterprises.com in about couple of hours if you're interested. I thought about the export-to-PDF approach; it's probably the only way to solve certain issues if you're implementing a full-fledged imposition plug-in or script. But the approach has some disadvantages, too, such as creating one or more new PDF files and having to keep track of it/them. And if you're creating PDF files, you might as well use one of the excellent imposition plug-ins for Acrobat Pro.
