dobber1 Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 I designed a book with 314 pages. While working on the book, I chose the setting 2 pages side by side, first page on the right. Now I wanted to convert the document to single pages for printing. If I remove the tick - two pages side by side - the program crashes. What can I do to convert the document to single pages? Quote
Old Bruce Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 Just export as a PDF and use All Pages instead of All Spreads in the Export dialog. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
dobber1 Posted April 19, 2022 Author Posted April 19, 2022 Thanks for the hint. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be a solution, because then the bleed allowance in the middle of the book isn't available and can't be edited. How can I then influence the pressure allowance in the middle? Quote

A commercial Printer with a commercial printing press or a Laser or Inkjet Printer at home or at your office? 4 minutes ago, dobber1 said: Thanks for the hint.

I have Bleed on all four sides of a Facing Pages document exported as a PDF as single pages. What is to be edited on in the bleed area anyway? The bleed area is paper to be trimmed off to make the actual final page.

dobber1 Posted April 19, 2022 Author Posted April 19, 2022 For commercial printing. If the pictures run to the middle of the book, the left picture on the right needs an allowance and the right picture on the left needs an allowance. In the layout, however, both meet in the middle. Quote
Old Bruce Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 Seeing as it is for commercial printing I would check with the Printer to see if the pictures lacking part of the image in the gutter's bleed is a major problem. If it is a problem and they want single pages with bleed with a bit of the image on all four sides of each page then I would remake the document by saving a copy of the Facing Pages document and converting that into a single page document. Then I could change the images on each page to flow into the bleed. Ask if you can email them a copy of the PDF with the simple exported as Pages from a Facing Pages document. Ask if they can just take a look and see if it is fine or not.

dobber1 Posted April 20, 2022 Author Posted April 20, 2022 Thank you very much for your encouragement. I will try to use the workaround in this project. I hope that the bug will be fixed at some point. FYI - the program also crashes when I delete some pages?! In a smaller project before (last year) everything worked well. Quote
Staff NathanC Posted April 20, 2022 Staff Posted April 20, 2022 Hi @dobber1, If you could provide us with the crash report i'll see if there is any indication to why the program is crashing. The below forum thread details how to find these. Quote
dobber1 Posted April 20, 2022 Author Posted April 20, 2022 ok - there are three reports first is a crash after trying to change from double side to single side the other reports are from crashes after trying to delete a page with an table of content, the third report comes from a crash after trying to delete the next page after the table of content. I hope, it's helpful for you ea45af7e-9bce-4557-8d32-a875894d4938.dmp4f4109c1-3da2-497f-9815-e623cf6c6029.dmpfa9243e1-1e0d-440d-a6ba-16de75e50ff2.dmp Quote
