JamesCanning Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Hi people, Where does the document paper size come from, when one is setting up a new document? I have an image to help make sense out of my question. I'm trying to set up a pair of 5x7 or A5 images, on a sheet of letter ANSI A paper. This is a very long document that I want to print on both left and right text boxes on both sides of the paper. It's pretty much like a newspaper layout except for the sizes. Would it be better to use the "book" setting? I have attached a screencap of what I see after setting up the document in "new". I don't understand where the dimensions under "custom" came from. They are larger than expected, sometimes much larger. Any suggestions and clarification welcome! James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff DWright Posted January 30, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 30, 2020 Your Page Preset is showing custom because your spread dimensions are not the standard Letter ANSI A standard of 8.5in by 11in, to have your pages displayed side be side as you would see in a newspaper please click on Document Setup and enable the Facing pages option in the Layout tab.

Old Bruce Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 You are about two thirds of the way there Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
