HerrJeh Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Is it possible to cut one Publisher page into a two page layout? Quote
walt.farrell Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Your topic title asks for converting a 2-page spread into a single page. And your post asks about going the other way (1 page into a 2-page spread) so I'm not sure what you want. In general, though, if you have a document with facing pages, then all spreads have 2 pages, except for possibly the first page and/or last page depending on the number of pages you have in the document and what side (left, right) it started on. You can certainly copy the layers in a page or spread and paste them into a different document, which might have a different spread layout. But I'm not sure that's what you were asking about. Can you provide more details about what you want to do?

DHoward Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 I created a pdf document with 2 page spreads. I also want this same information in a document with just single pages. I exported from the original 2page spread and selected "all pages." The first time it worked except one of the 30 pages did not show the text. Curious as to why. I tried again using the original 2 page spread document, exporting as "all pages." but this time it still gave me a 2 page spread. Whats going on? What's causing the lack of text in the first "all pages" export? Why, when I tried again did I still get 2 page spreads? Debbie Quote

How did you create the pdf? Which application did you use to create it? Is the PDF actually 2 pages on the 2 page spread or is it one (PDF) page which is twice the width of a single page? You say "... I tried again using the original 2 page spread document, ..." Are you working with a Publisher Document with two page spreads? Or does it contain the PDF with the two page spreads? I have no clue as to why one of the 30 pages would not show the text. Regardless, you have to choose All pages each time you export, the export dialog will return to the default All Spreads each time you use it.

I exported the document with 2page spreads, chose "all pages" instead of "all spreads" and it created the document with single pages. However, I'm back again today, and it's not doing it. Affinity support will have to explain why. Quote
Old Bruce Posted May 21, 2021 Posted May 21, 2021 The selection of Spreads is the default and sorry to say that will always be chosen for each export, so you'll have to set it to Pages each time.

The more embarassing being when you've send the PDF as you would do usually after correcting something and people complain about not having normal pages. Quote
