First and Last page problem...

[dbart33]

This might be difficult to explain but I'll give it a try. When viewing the two page spread I need the first and second page to be seen together. This will cause the last page to be seen alone. SO when I publish my pdf and am viewing two page up my first page is on the left and not alone. I am trying to publish a magazine to issuu and I need this format for it to 'flip' correctly. It makes it so that the first page is like the cover and the back page is the back cover. I've done this before but just can't remember how.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think I did explain that poorly...when viewing the project in publisher the first page should be seen alone and the last page should be seen alone when viewing the two page spread. Should be easy...I just can't remember what I did.

I am using 2007 by the way and this is a blank document not a template.

How many pages do you have?

At this point I have 55 but could be adding more. There is a simple setting that has to do with the first and last page but I just cannot find it.

.PDF files can be viewed in a lot of different ways - all set by the reader, not you. I don't know how you could create the file and have the first and last pages be seen alone and the middle pages be seen two up.

Even if you do something to make that happen, how are you going to prevent your viewer from viewing it one page at a time?

I just need publisher to format correctly so that when I export to pdf the pdf will upload to issuu correctly. If it is done any other way it doesn't work. So how the reader views it in pdf does not concern me at all. Those readers can view it however they want...it is for the issuu readers.

When the front and back pages are on their own and all others are two page view it 'flips' correctly in issuu. It makes the last page the back cover.

So it is a publisher problem not a pdf problem. I have done it before...someone has to know.

If you've done something before, have you looked at one of those Publisher files and compared the page and print setups?

Add a page... I think you need an even number of pages.
