  i'm trying to publish a web sized pdf of my portfolio from InDesign. When i set facing pages i have the awkward cover/last page single. When i remove facing pages and do single pages and publish as spreads i still get a pdf that is single pages if acrobat is set to: Page Display: Single Page.

  Is there there a way to get a forced left/right view?

  put page 1 on page 2 and remove the last single page?

  you need to have acrobat pro, open the file then use the properties thing on the file menu. you can set the way it is displayed when it is opened, e.g. full screen, magnification, facing pages etc etc. do whatever you want to do then go file>save

  is that what you meant?

  • Huebert, great to know... that's prolly what i was looking for.– DoubleKing

  thanks for the fb. i solved my immediate problem. what i hadn't been doing is exporting the original doc as spreads.

  my workaround above was to try to find a way to not have the doc start on a right face page and i'm surprised that there's not a preference for that on the absurd chance you want to start your doc on the left. perhaps it's some print impossibility that i'm just not schooled on.

  Here you go. Use this.

  It's all in the number of your pages.

  It's so simple it's not even funny. Leave the cover and back cover blank, and don't export those pages. Nothing else necessary.

  Select two pages in the pages palette. Click on the dropdown arrow menu in that palette, and select "Keep Spreads Together".
