I set a book 400 pages + in 2 page spread, but now discover Kindle likes a single page PDF. When I 'uncheck' facing pages it converts to single page but something becomes problematic as the file after that is really buggy. It opens slowly or shows 'file not responding' tag at the top of the screen. Also some of the page layout is wrong etc. Is this a known issue? I could not see another post about this specific issue. I don't really want to reset all the text, so is there a better way to convert from 2 page to single page? Thank you!

I've tried this a number of times now and its still not doing what you thought it should do. If you do an isolated text box it converts into the correct text, if its on a page with other text boxes it remains the same. Sorry, I know this is a pain, but if its possible to resolve it will same me a ton of work. A π

Hi and thanks for swift reply. This is interesting. So it seems to work when itβs an isolated text box, however when I export the whole book it does not seem to work. I include 2x jpegs below which show the results on the actual book. I also attach 1x Pub file and the resultant PDF after print to export. Any more thoughts as to what is happening will be gratefully received. This book is turning into a total nightmare :-). Andrew 10x7-Interior-cut down.afpub 10x7-Interior-cut down.pdf

Im not sure where the original text was complied. It might have be possible to put it together in word, but I know a lot of the indic guys use Linux and other software, so its possible the originator did it on another system/software. This is a book to be printed on Kindle Direct. I usually export to PDF and upload etc. Is there a way to export to PDF file (making sure the right version of the text is saved) that could then be uploaded to Kindle? That would save so much time. I really don't want to a add static graphics to every page, that would be such a pain. I have Phantom Foxit software, but still need to get it from a .afpub to PDF. Thanks so much for your efforts! Really helpful. A π

No, Libreoffice is the same. Weird you can copy from Word to Libre Office with no change in formatting. I also tried in AfPhoto and AfDesign, just in case I had ticked somthing weird in Publisher, alas, nope. It looks like I will have to export as an image and place in the text. I wonder if anyone has posted this on youtube?

I seem to have another issue with the same text, I'd not noticed - was concentrating on the roman script with discritics, but it seems the Sanskrit is being changed when I use the EDIT>PASTE SPECIAL>UNICODE function. I'll have to gop back and change what I've done as its all wrong - I should have checked π Any ideas why this text is being changed. In the original Word file its Arial Unicode MS, as is the pasted text in Publisher. I have no font substituition set up. Thanks in advance and sorry to bother again.

This would take too long as there are too many instances. But I'm sure that would be OK as I have essentially done that when correcting. The other method suggested by pasting special worked, so for now that would appear to be the best move. Thank you so much for your assistance! Very much appreciated. I've been using Publisher for ages and love it to bits, and seldom need to consult the experts, but itβs nice to have help as I learn! Andrew π
