Mensch Mesch Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Hi there, I'm working on my calendar templates for 2020. My printing house want all even pages (back) rotated by 180 degrees but I want to design them how I will see them in real life. Is there way to rotate all even pages upside-down before exporting the pdf for the printing service? Any ideas or work arounds? Right: How I like to work Left: What my printing house want.

thomaso Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Workarounds: a.) rotate all even pages AFTER export in the PDF with an according tool (eg. Acrobat / at least the print provider should have an imposition software) b.) rotate all even page content manually page by page. (isn't much in a calendar with 12 months c.) don't export but print as PDF in two steps, even and odd pages separately. Choose "reverse page orientation" or "flip vertically" in the print options. Combine both PDFs and rearrange the page order. Mensch Mesch 1 Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorox Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 As much as I love working with Affinity Publisher I'd wish there was a simple menu entry for this like in InDesign... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
