GFDBILL Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 As a Page Plus user for many years, I find it easy in Page Plus to set up a document to be printed on A4 paper, but with A5 pages. You simply click File, Publication Setup - and you get a clear dialog box with diagrams of Booklets, or Folder Publications, or many other layouts. With Affinity Publisher I cannot see how to set up a Side Fold Booklet on A4 paper with A5 pages. Can you advise please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris26 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Hallo Bill, I hope that I am understanding you correctly. You want an A5 book (A4 in landscape)? Here is a screen shot of how I set that up. Notice that Portrait is 'un-ticked' and best to set images to 'prefer linked'.

Then looking for the dishwasher and finding it stored in the living room where you have to download a water supply from the app store, then you have to buy microsoft compliant soap, remove the carpet only to be told that it is glued to the floor.. Don't forget to make multiple copies of your front door key and post them to all who demand access to all the doors inside your home including the windows and outside shed. Apple - Like entering your home and opening the oak framed Kitchen door and finding the dishwasher right in front you ready to be switched on, soap supplied, and water that comes through a water softener. Ah the front door key is yours and it only needs to open the front door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFDBILL Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 Chris: I copied your setup but it still showed all the individual pages as landscape. Perhaps I didn't explain my setup properly. The booklet I produce is printed on 4 sheets of A4, printed on both sides, which makes 8 pages, then folded in half to produce 16 A5 pages. In Page Plus, this can be set up very simply using the dialog box as per attached screen shot. The diagram in the box shows how the booklet will look (although it does not show all the pages). In Affinity Publisher, it is a much more laborious process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris26 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Bill, what exactly are you looking at after you have set it up? Are looking at the actual document after set up? Does it look like this screen shot ? This is my A4 page setup, with A5 pages, landscape naturally. This is my booklet.

walt.farrell Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Bill: What may not be obvious is that in Affinity part of the setup is done during Document Setup (A5 pages, facing) and part is done during Print or Export (making it book or booklet format, with multiple pages (spreads) on each sheet). It's not all done up front as you're describing from your other application.
