Thanks Mike - I've spent hours trying out saving in different number formats. I don't remember publisher crashing last year when I did the accounts. There are around 20 tables to place each year - so this is a bit of a chore.

tHi - I'm on the final table of our accounts and report - long document. The tables are tricky - the numbers need precise formatting - all minus numbers in brackets, zero's as dashes, comma in for thousands. But when I've formatted the table in excel, it's crashed. And I'm not sure which format won't crash publisher when I try and place the table (each table saved as a separate file). Attaching table here - any suggestions most welcome 🙂 note 19.xlsx

So I AM exporting as single pages, then within Adobe, saving the pdf in booklet view and sending to colleague, who open them in adobe acrobat, and they present as single pages. Yes, he does have the option to change that view, but I want the document to default to that view.

I produce loads of documents, mainly for employers and organisations, and they are to be read on a desktop/laptop. I NEED them to open as a booklet, and that to be the default option. They need to be easy on the eye and digest. These will rarely be printed, and mainly be viewed online. But some people will, for one reason or another, want to read from the phone, so single pages need to be an option. Dear @Affinity people, can you have a think about this please.

That is a real pain.

I want people to see/open it originally as a 2 page document - especially if they're opening on a laptop/desktop - but just have option of viewing as separate pages. I presume if I save the pdf, using the 2 page/booklet view, it will open as such.

So designing as a spread, then saving as separate pages, exporting into pdf and setting up the view as 2 page/booklet and saving. The viewer can then select other options..

will do, thank you Chris

thanks, will experiment. I want the default view to be a spread 🙂

Thanks - if I save it as pages, how can I make it open as a spread and not as separate pages?

OK, uploaded. I realise that I was dragging the logo (can't remember whether I was just doing that, or whether I was dragging it into a frame) from Assets - have dumped it into a new file and included that.

Will do. On a train atm with terrible wifi, will send later tonight

We've a stupidly large version of the logo, and I used the place tool. When I used a small version of the logo it didn't crash

Hello Affinity world Not sure if this is simple or just a dumb question. I have reports which I'd expect to be viewed on laptops, in booklet form, so facing pages. But I need people to be able to view on mobiles as single pages. If I export it currently as a pdf, the single page option isn't available - even when you select that option in the pdf viewer, it shows 2 pages. What am I doing wrong / need to do to make this work?

Thank you for looking Chris, and appreciate the time you took to look! Sorry not to have got back to you earlier - I got drowned in other work. I'm now back on it. It kept crashing when I tried to place a large visual into the document. It's fine on other visuals, so lesson learned on that.
