meyer.wil Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I have created a new project with a few master pages, each of them as facing pages. All appears to be well until I output to PDF, and at that point, Publisher puts the first page on a portrait page, as expected, but places subsequent page pairs on paper in landscape, two pages per sheet. I have reviewed the tutorial for Master pages, the help on the subject, and have looked high and low in settings for anything which might affect this. Is this a known issue, of have I missed something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 If you are wanting each page to be a single page in the PDF, in the export options, choose All pages. Gabe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The observed behavior was certainly not what I would have expected. The Principle of Least Astonishment has been violated. MikeW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else, consider how much someone switching from a Windows PC to a Mac or visa versa would at first find very astonishing.
