Exporting single right hand pages

[Tony Pritchard]

Affinity Publisher. I am used to exporting pages for print in single page format as required by traditional printers. I've got individual pages that need correcting so I just need to output those pages. 

So from the individual document: File > Export > Current Page (or all pages and define range)

Or from book: Export > Selected Chapters As Pages

It seems to select the current page as the left page even though I am on the right page. It won't allow me to export a single right hand page.

I can export the chapter and then either delete pages or extract pages in Adobe Acrobat but I cant export from Affinity Publisher a right hand single page

I see that problem, too. Sometimes I want to export a jpg of a right page but can't. Even if I choose that page number I get a jpg of the left hand page instead.

Maybe I am not understanding correctly. Area = All pages and typing the page into the field Pages you want, produces a single right page. Or give us a demo .afpub document.

Thanks Joe, It's an odd one as I have now been able to export a current page as a right hand single page but other 'chapters' won't play so I have exported the chapter and extracted the relevant single pages in Adobe Acrobat. So slightly unresolved but I found a work around as the matter needs to be sorted today. It's a 432pp book with chapters and sections so maybe some complexity got introduced somewhere along the line. I tried your suggestion which would have been what I'd done in the past but something was blocking some of the situations.

It's a known issue in V1, as workaround you need to select any object on the right page to make this page the current page – or type the required page number(s) i n the range filed below. You just can't mark a single page of a spread as current (gray border) in the Pages Panel. – I can't tell if this has ever been fixed in V2:

Not fixed in V2, either.

Note that the Pages panel does not let you select the just the left- or right-page as the Current Page (gray border). It only allows you to select them with a blue border, for actions within the Pages panel only.

Thanks for the swift replies. Reassuring. In the troublesome areas I exported the chapter then extracted the single pages I needed in Adobe Acrobat
