RobWu Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Hi, Still getting the hang of Publisher here, but I created a little double spread A4 (landscape) document for the first time. With a single starter front page, some double page(s) content and a single back page. If I now export this PDF, any reader will show the double page content as a single page. This can be nice, as some could improve reading, but it's not something I expected to happen. Normally you can switch between one or a double page in a reader and it will show accordingly in the viewer. Is there something I overlooked here at the start of the master pages or in the export. Running Publisher 2.2.1 on Win11.

Here on my Mac my go to reader for PDFs is Apple's Preview.app, it does't default to single pages for reading PDFs, I can however set it to do so, in other words the reader gives me the option to view a two page spread or single pages. If you specify single pages instead of spreads when exporting then that option in Preview is gone, I can view only the single pages.
