Option to make spread in every page

[SamiK]

Hi! I'm struggling to find tool or option to make all Affinity publisher document pages shown as a spreads. First and last page are always shown individually.

I've had message from offical affinity facebook page that this feature I suggested isn't included yet. This feature would help when making printable .pdf files for printing firms which are requiring every page to be shown as spread pair. (page 16-1 for example)

Best Regards!

You mean facing pages? Could be checked in Document Setup.

No, he is thinking of a PDF output of an imposed document. This isn’t possible at the moment (just as it isn’t in InDesign). But there are many apps out there, which are build for this.

One example:

You can solve that easily by telling Publisher that the first page starts on the Left, rather than the default of on the Right:

However, that will give you 1-2, 3-4, ..., 5-16, not the imposed version of 16-1 that you suggested you want.

Printing firms should do their own imposition. It is not a customer's job.

Another thought: perhaps if you export the PDF file using the Pages option rather than the Spreads option your printing firm will be able to deal with it properly.
