How do I export a 4 page document as 2 spreads?

[Petes Printing]

I want to create a folded leaflet for print, so an A4 folded to make A5 finished size, making it a 4 page document.

I create it as facing pages, arrange horizontally and start on the right.

When I save as a PDF, I want it to convert to front and back or 2 spreads, but it only seems to allow for creating a single A5 first page, followed by an A4 spread for the centre pages, followed by a single A5 back page. This is no good for sending to print, as the online printer I use wants 2x A4 spreads.

How do I get around this without just creating 2x A4 landscape pages?.... this is clunky, because I have to put extra margins in for the centre fold etc.

Hi @Petes Printing,

Why not just use a Facing Pages Document but start with a Left Facing page, that way you will end up with two Facing page spreads...
