Setting up a work-and-turn, folded A4 to run-off on inkjet printer HOW!

[Barry Oakley]

Affinity Publisher - How does one set up a work-and-turn, 4-page document based on a single folded A4 sheet to run off on an inkjet printer? If I set it up using NEW it provides work areas for page 1, another for pages 2 and 3 and finally page 4. I simply require two double-page spreads, one for pages 1 and 4, the other for pages 2 and 3.

Hi @Barry Oakley,

If you set your document up as Left Facing you will end up with two, two-page spreads which you can export using 'All Pages' to PDF and then print from Acrobat Reader as a Booklet which will give you pages 4 and 1, then 2 and 3.

Unfortunately, the Booklet feature in Publisher doesn't work correctly...

The easiest thing would be to create a document with two, single, A4 landscape pages, and put a vertical guide in the centre of each page for the fold. You don't really need a booklet feature for a single sheet of paper, folded in half!
