PDF/X is not of much use if the "printer" is just someone printing on
a regular printer. You would be a lot better off with just a PDF 1.4
or 1.5 (depending on your needs) "for screen/web". You can embed fonts
in any PDF version (as far as I know), and regular office printers
expect RGB images (which you get with "for screen/web". An I'm not
sure how many PDF readers really can handle PDF/X and color profiles
correct.

Also I would suggest using Multivalent to make the imposition. Then
the printer will just have to "print double sided".

I have BAT files to save some typing. For example for 32 pages on A3 sheets.

Paths will have to be adjusted for your environment (and if you're on
linux you will of course have to use a shell script instead, but the
content wont differ much).
