Export diffrent pages on Flyer folding

[papo]

Dear Affinity Team

I'm just new here change from Adobe Indesign. Your Product is just great and I love it.

I have a question is there a posibility to print (export) diffrent pages on a Flyer folding? Exemply page 1 and page 6 only on format A5 as like in my exemple?

No.
Multipage spreads have been requested but still not implemented.

If you also have Designer, you could work around by placing artboards over the spreads, then print/export individual artboards from the Designer persona. (In theory, that is. Haven't tested it yet.)

Multipage spreads along with a printable Slug area is a pretty crucial, standard feature for a lot of workflows, which has been requested since the first Pub beta - there are clunky workarounds,

but for me, firing up InDesign CS5 is a far more flexible solution, until we get this in Pub

I've had a mess around with a few different theories on achieving this, but all failed at the export stage -

Aw-rite, here you go:

^ The actual trick is to create the base document in ADe.
Forget about the Pages panel altogether, which means: do not convert artboards to spreads. Nest your "page" artboards into the "spread" artboards instead.

Apart from saving an empty document in ADe, everything else can be done in APu, only switching to the Designer persona for artboard creation, alignment, and editing if needed.

Export pages-artboards or spread-artboards to PDF as you see fit.

In fact, the content doesn't need to be nested in the "page" artboards, unless you want to shuffle pages. You can use them only as "export placeholders" in the background:

Summed up: the real "killer features" of the Affinity suite are:

• the universal and interchangeable document format
• Studio Link

Just don't be too shy to take advantage of that!

Thx a lot Loukash for the quick and honest answer. I will try your solution. 

I hope someday will come this feature on Affinity Publisher. I'm still a beginner on Affinity but I love it ist very easy and intuitiv.
