L7uki Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 Hey, i didn´t find a thread for changing the settings (A4) from one side to a double side. I want to make a collage over two pages. Like in this tutorial: https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/tutorials/publisher/desktop/video/286534652 Quote
mac_heibu Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 Create a new document, be sure to activate „Facing Pages“. Copy your single page elements into this newly created document. Quote
fde101 Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 You don't need to create a new document for that; the checkbox can also be found in Document Setup on the Layout tab. Quote
L7uki Posted February 26, 2019 Author Posted February 26, 2019 thanks for the quick answer. is it possible to change the "facing pages" - option only for certain pages? or is it only for all pages ? Quote
mac_heibu Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 Ups @fde101, you are corret. @L7uki: It is for all pages. Why do you want a mix of facing/non-facing pages? Quote
L7uki Posted February 26, 2019 Author Posted February 26, 2019 that´s because i need each side with a padding of 3 mm to print it. and if the facing is activated, it wont consider the 3mm. Quote

This could have applications when designing fold-out pages though I would expect this would normally consist of a mixture of 2-page and 3-page spreads rather than 1-page and 2-page spreads. Not currently possible in Publisher either way. Quote

Just for the collage i won´t need them. How is this being printed - are you sending this to a professional printer or trying to print it yourself? I'm asking because I would expect most of the printers would want the bleed all the way around each page even if doing a collage like this, so you would want to make sure they know what you are trying to do and verify what they expect to receive to achieve that. If you are printing it yourself, you don't usually need bleed, so I am guessing it is being printed at a professional shop and they would probably just trim off any bleed that isn't required during imposition. A more direct response though is that I don't think there is currently any way to accomplish this in Publisher short of producing it in two separate documents. Quote

Well, I am sending it to a professional printer, so I´ll just ask them. Thanks Quote
