creating an e-book PDF: how to make Front Cover page not a 'spread'

[_typo_man_]

I am typesetting an e-book with InDesign (my first time doing so). and i want the cover page to not appear as part of a spread when i click the "view page display" as "TWO-UP".

have designed it so that the cover page is a 'single page' and then all the following pages are 'spreads' - but when i view my generated PDF it puts page 2 right next to the cover page which i don't want. also it screws up the page numbering as you then have even numbered pages on the left, where in fact they should be on the left.

any tips on how to do this? i would be most grateful. hope i explained the question well enough!

With your document open, go to View in toolbar at the top of the page and choose "Page Display." Choose Cover Page showing during Two-Up.

Then, to the left of that, click on Acrobat and Preferences. Choose Page Display, Page Layout, and choose Two-Up Continuous.

Click on Document and check off, "restore last view setting when reopening documents."
