Print MSPub 03 to PDF --consecutive pgs

I want to create a PDF of a booklet to post on the web. The booklet is 8 1/2
x 11 landscape and when folded is 5.5 x 8 1/2. It is 1-20 pages. When I
create a PDF, it produces the pages, for example, printing 2 on lefthand
side and 19 on therighthand side.But, I want to print pages exactly as I
see on screen with no 2 on lefthand side and no 3 on righthand side.

After no luck experimenting with Adobe Acrobat 7.0, am I going to have to
print out the pages front/back, fold them, and then scan to get the pages to
appear as they would in the book?

Acrobat 7 is putting exactly what it receives into PDF.

Because you have set up your publication as a booklet, Publisher is sending
the data that would need to be printed onto a printed page in order to be
able to fold the paper to obtain a booklet.

However, this is not what you want when creating a PDF for display purposes.

Go to File > Page Setup > Printer and Paper, set your paper size to 8.5×5.5
(making sure that the Adobe PDF driver is selected first).
Now go to the Layout tab and select Full Page.

This turns booklet options off, meaning that if you print to a standard
printer, you will no longer be able to fold your publication into a printed
booklet.
