Hello,

I don`t know, if this is the right forum and if I am able to describe my problem correctly.

Actually I try the Affinity Publisher Beta. My objective is to create a book. Per print it I have to lay out it in a single page. How is it possible to create different borders for every page, f.e. the first page needs the border 2,2 cm at the left and 1,6 cm at the right. For the second page it have to be opposite.

Perhaps you can help me.

Thank you and a nice evening

Renate

You should make use of Master pages and look how to associate those to related Body pages. - To get an idea about those you might want to take a look at the following 5 pages online guide, which will tell you the common basics here, it's an excerpt from a FrameMaker guide, but those basics are applicable for Affinity Publisher too ...

So you can setup/create different master pages for the kind of page borders you need for your book style.

Thank you all. The problem is, that I have to deliver individual pages to let it print, no facing pages. But I want to have text on both pages.

I send a picture to describe it, my english is too bad to make it with words. :221_see_no_evil:IMG_5083.thumb.jpg.4c0099578e1362bc1e8a38b077fd6d2b.jpg

There is no problem exporting individual pages to individual print/pdf files.

Sorry, my problems are the borders. I don't know how to create different borders for individual pages. :/ But my english is so bad that it is difficult to describe it.

I resolved it! Now I defined the borders NOT in the Master Page but in the Layout settings and then different for odds and straight pages. But thanks for the suggestions. :D

I have to send the pages as continuous pages (individually) to the printer. I think this is not possible with facing pages. Or am I mistaken? o.O

You can indeed send each page separately to output.  See the pdf export below. The border alternates from each page. This was created exactly as' Psenda' has suggest to you in the post above, i.e. with facing pages.

Usually a publishing software allows to setup of alternating book pages, meaning here for a book then a left/right page or even/odd page number flow. Though I don't know if Publisher at this stage has some settings for such an automatic chapters/left/right pages flow etc.

Einzelne Seiten drucken, ist das nicht zu umständlich, vor allem wenn es dann viele Seiten sein sollten?

Ich habe es nicht geschafft, mich in englischer Sprache verständlich zu machen. Die meisten Druckereien wollen eine fortlaufende PDF-Datei und das nicht mit gegenüberliegenden Seiten. Scheinbar (wenn ich es richtig verstanden habe) kann man aber auch doppelseitig angelegte Dokumente so konvertieren. Allerdings habe ich die passende Einstellung noch nicht gefunden.

Hi,

ich schaffe es irgendwie dank meines stümperhaften Englischs nicht, mich verständlich auszudrücken. 

Die meisten Druckereien wollen eine fortlaufende PDF-Datei, natürlich wollen sie nicht alle Seiten einzeln konvertiert. Aber wohl auch nicht mit gegenüberliegenden Seiten. 

Scheinbar soll das ja möglich sein, aber ich habe nicht die passenden Optionen gefunden. :221_see_no_evil:

Ich weiß jetzt nicht wie Deine Druckerei eine entsprechend formatierte PDF-Datei erwartet, sprich ob als Doppelseite (quasi 2 A4 Seiten dann auf einer A3 Seite gesetzt) oder ob nur A4 alternierend etc. Aber es gibt auch PDF-Werkzeuge (tools) mit denen Du dann noch im nachhinein die Reihenfolge der PDF-Seiten in einem PDF-Dokument verändern kannst (Seitenreihenfolgen etc. umstrukturieren bzw. anders anordnen).
