When I generate a double sided PDF I can't tell the pdf to just print one of the pages (it works from within publisher but my customer needs t print a single page from the pdf I send) ... and no, this seems to be no problem related to the setting of the printer driver ...
Any ideas?
Thx, Timo

What do you mean by a "double-sided PDF"

If you mean that you generated it with facing pages, then I think you're stuck.

As in screwed?

Normally yes. Or ... set the paper to half size of the document at 100% scale. Normally the PDF reader will only print the left half of the document. If your PDF reader is capable rotating the document you can print the other half as well. 🤦‍♂️

Ohh, i thought that would be a no-brainer ... So it might be easier to change the layout from facing pages to single and than export the pdf ....

Just export the PDF as single pages, leave the Publisher Document as Facing Pages.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 
Affinity Designer 2.5.7 | Affinity Photo 2.5.7 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.7 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

That sounds tempting - but where do I find a setting that tells the export to only export single pages (couldn't find it in the "more" options of the export dialog)

Look at the Area pulldown in the export dialogue or type in the page number.

Maybe I misunderstood Old Bruce comment - but the Area section only allows me to export the current page/spread or all pages/spread - but it does not allow exporting a facing document in single pages ... ( I'm aware I can select the area of pages I want to print .... but I want the pdf export as single page and not facing pages ... (still keeping the document layout as facing pages as Old Bruce described)

Yes, that's exactly what All Pages allows.

Still quite weird, this was confusing from APub's beginning and caused various forum questions meanwhile. What reason might it have been to label this options this way (and insist keeping it) – instead of just saying clearly that literally single pages are meant as page type on export, regardless of All or any other selective page range. Even without "All" just offering "spreads" vs. "pages" & "current" this menu options would have good chances to be less confusing, so "All" feels to be added in purpose to confuse users. Even worse in other UI languages where no clear terms for 'page' vs 'spread' was used for whatever reason even if locally existing.

Page Type:
Single Pages / Current Page* / Spreads / Current Spread /   (*current page is impossible to output right pages ;))

Page Range:

macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1
