Affinity Publisher Exporting to PDF Doc as Pages and not spreads


Recommended Posts

In both V1 and V2, you would choose "Area: All Pages" rather than "All Spreads" in the Export dialog.

That could indicate that you only have a single page.

To be sure, we'd need more information about your document, for example a screenshot of the application window that includes the Pages panel.

Those aren't two page spreads - they are single, landscape, pages, each with two "pages" side by side. Probably the easiest thing would be to create a new document with single pages, then copy and paste onto them, putting the left side on one new page and the right on another. You could also duplicate the existing pages and crop them to make single left and right pages, or use Briss to separate the pages. (https://sourceforge.net/projects/briss/)

Thanks, I realised that I had not started off with the right document settings so am now creating a new version . Appreciate the help to you and Walt
