I would not try to do the signatures in Framemaker. You can use a plug-in for Adobe Acrobat, Quite Imposing Plus (http://www.quite.com/) to do the imposition of a pdf before you send it to the printer. I used the plug-in a lot for documents we sent to a Xerox Docutech.
The plug in is a bit expensive, but we calculated that it paid for itself in a few jobs. Manually laying out the pages for higher page counts is extremely difficult to do. Hope this helps!
