With the pages that you wish to export selected please use the Current Spread option in the Area selection and this will export the selected pages to a PDF.

thank you for your response, but in the export dialog (Affinity Publisher 2 for iPad v2.2.0) there are only two options in the Area selection - All Pages and Current page, I don't see the Current Spread option anywhere
and I don't know how to select only some pages ....
can you give me a picture of the dialog box?
sorry, I'm a beginner

The Area value is scrollable:

I haven't figured that out yet, either. So far I can get exactly 1 page/spread, or all of them.

[zdestr]

yes i know the item is scrollable but i don't see what you attached in the picture....
I only see two items...
I am attaching a video
there is a mistake somewhere and i can't figure out where

[zdestr]

thank you all for your help in solving my problem….
however, I just received an official statement directly from Affinity, which reads:

.... I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble. I can confirm that unfortunately the 'Page Range' option isn't supported in Affinity on iPad at this time, my apologies.
This is however logged with our development team as a feature to be added in a future update, therefore I have 'bumped' this with your email now, to bring it to our devs attention once again ....

so the problem will be solved by updating Affinity Publisher 2 for iPad

Thanks for letting us know, @zdestr.

By the way, you mentioned you don't have the Current Spread option in the Export dialog. That's probably because you don't have a Facing Pages document, which means you don't have Spreads, only Pages.

[zdestr]

yes thank you i already found this out .... it's because the document don't have Facing Pages ....

Just found one solution for one of my Facebook group members, use Print then Share then Save to Files.

2nd solution, export full PDF with your required export quality settings then from files app, print select pages then share to a new pdf like this.
