Moriarty48 Posted June 3, 2023 Posted June 3, 2023 I have been creating a book in Aff Publisher using Facing Pages. Some of the pages contain family tree diagrams using text boxes, boxes and lines where the tree can spread across facing pages, though no lines cross from one page to another. When I change to single page view (Document Setup>Model>not facing pages) any diagrams on lefthand pages are shown correctly, but ones on righthand pages are jumbled. Other righthand pages with text and photographs are fine. Looking at the righthand pages I believe all the text and boxes are in the correct positions but all the lines have been mirrored from their intended positions. See attached images. Any suggestions would be warmly welcomed. Quote

Moriarty48 Posted June 3, 2023 Author Posted June 3, 2023 The company that is printing the book needs the PDF of separate pages. You made me think about the Export PDF function and I have just tried it with Area set to 'All Pages' and it does produce each page separately in the PDF from the facing pages view. Thanks for the prompt. I would still like to understand why the diagram lines are being mirrored and how to prevent it. Quote
walt.farrell Posted June 3, 2023 Posted June 3, 2023 You're welcome. I have no thoughts about what happens when you actually change the document. Sorry.

It might help if you could share the APub file here, or at least some of the pages with the issue, plus any relevant master pages.

Moriarty48 Posted June 5, 2023 Author Posted June 5, 2023 If I understand correctly, I need to create a separate master page for each different diagram in the publication. Quote
