Adobe Indesign Help

[Tony]

I'm using CS5, but in CS2, there was an option where you could force Acrobat to maintain the same page layout you had in indesign when exporting a multipage pdf. In otherwords, page 1 would be on the right side in indesign and it would be on the right side in the pdf. I haven't been able to find how to do it in CS5.

This is still the default behavior, depending on the viewing application's preferences. To override the viewer preferences, an extra step in Acrobat (not Acrobat Reader) is necessary.

Open the newly-exported PDF file in Acrobat.

Open the "Document Properties…" panel and click on the "Initial View" tab.

Locate the "Page layout:" pull down menu.

If no cover page preceeds Page 1, then select "Two-Up (Cover Page)" so that Page 1 will be handled like a cover, appearing by itself, and all subsequent even pages will appear on the left while odd pages appear on the right.

If a cover page page exists before Page 1, then select "Two-Up (Facing)" so that Page 1 and all subsequent odd pages appear on the right, and all even pages on the left.

Click the "OK" button, save the PDF, and close it; you will need to reopen it to see the change when made from the "Document Properties…" panel.

HTH.
