Single page view not working.

Jul 21, 2012 11:05 PM

Hi, everyone.

 

I have created a book using Blurb's template for InDesign. After I finished the book I exported it as a PDF file and wanted to review it on my notebook and iPad but Acrobat only displays it in two page view (the 'spread' as InDesign refers to it).

 

I've tried a vew options in Acrobat including view in single page mode but so far haven't been able to make it work. In addition, although I have chosen the option in Acrobat to have a space displayed between pages when viewing the 2-page spread, the space still doesn't show.

 

Any ideas as to how this can be accomplished ?

 

I need to be able to see this PDF on page at a time instead of the 2-page spread as Acrobat displays it now.

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

    If the InDesign layout uses facing pages and you've selected "spreads" in the Export PDF dialog box, then that's what you get - pages in the PDF file with two-up imposition. Changing the view mode in Acrobat will have no effect, you need to re-export from InDesign with the spread option turned off.

    Dave,

     

    I made the corrections as you recommended and solved the problem. I was able to export the PDF and view it in Acrobat as single pages just as you described.

     

    Thank you for your help and reply.
