Affinity Publisher: Convert double sided layout pages into single pages on export?

[Uwe66]

I have created a document with double sided layout pages. This gives me a better overview of two opposite pages when designing the document. However, the printing shop requires a single page PDF document. Is there a way to convert the document in a single paged PDF on export?

Hi @Uwe66,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
In the Export dialog, Area dropdown, switch from All spreads to All pages.

Perfect! That worked. So easy... Thanks.

My document is set up as single pages All Pages didn't create seperate pages, just a complete PDF document of the file

Are you saying you wanted one PDF file per page? That is not a supported function in Publisher.

If that is what you want, you will need to split the PDF later, or you will need to export the pages separately, one at a time. There are 3rd-party applications that will split PDFs into individual pages, or you could do it with the Designer or Photo applications:

1. Export the complete PDF.
2. Open the PDF in Designer or Photo, which will give you a document with 1 Artboard per PDF page.
3. Use the Export Persona to create a Slice for each Artboard, then to Export the Slices to individual PDF files.
