3/multi page spread

I can't seem to figure out how to make a 3 page spread in InDesign 3. I did a search and seem to only be pulling lower version instructions that provide the Keep Pages Together option which I can't seem to locate in in ID3. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks!

Turn off "Allow Pages to Shuffle" in the Pages palette. Don't blame yourself, nobody knows what that means. One would expect turning OFF an option called "Allow..." would increase the restrictions on what you can do. One would be wrong in this case.

  • Vertical multi-page spread (horizontal spine)

    Multi-page spreads are usually arranged horizontally.
    I'm producing a A5 landscape booklet, with the spine on the long side (horizontal spine, like a calendar).
    How do i keep two pages together, in a way that it results in a portrait A4 on my screen? Using InDesign CS5.

    Make a spread with two pages.
    Don't allow the selected spread to shuffle in the page window.
    Now go to the page tool (shift p). Pick up a page with this page tool and give it a new position on your screen, so that the spine will be horizontal.
    That's it. Does it work?

  • How can I automatically align the bottoms of two-page spreads in a long novel in CS3?

    I'm laying out a long novel in InDesign CS3. I've set the text to align to the baseline grid and have the keep options set to prevent widows and orphans. Because of these keep settings, often one page is a line shorter than the one facing it. Is there some way to set things up so that the longer page in a 2-page spread automatically breaks a line sooner, so as to match the shorter facing page -- or do I have to introduce page breaks manually, spread by spread?

    If you're the author, you might want to consider rewriting the annoying paragraphs. Perhaps changing a contraction to full words, or replacing full words with a contraction, for example. Yes, it's hard not to change meaning, so it's your call. If you have a good relationship with the author, you could consider suggesting the same thing.
    Other possibiliies that may not be acceptable options in your situation include experimenting with applying the single-line paragraph composer instead of the default multi-line composer, adjusting type and leading heights, and/or text frame size, uniformly all across the book, to see if a tiny tweak resolves all or most of the annoyances.
    The Auto-Size text frame feature just introduced in InDesign CS6 might work by setting it to a maximum and minimum height that differ by one line, "grow down from the bottom."
    Here's the dialog box:
    Search Google for terms like "InDesign CS6 auto-size text frame feature" without quotes for more info.
    [EDIT] Ooops, I just learned from Anne-Marie Conception's excellent free sample Lynda.com video tutorial that came up in the Google search I suggested above, that Auto-Size can't set a maximum frame height. So it might be tricky or impossible to find the right combination of keep lines together and other settings for your purpose of compensating for only one line of difference.[/EDIT]

  • How do I make two page spreads export correctly to pdf with a book file?

    I have a book I am working on in the book pallet. I have several documents in the book and have it set to auto update page numbers and keep it all organized, which is all good. However, when I export to pdf, though the page numbers and order is correct, for some reason, if it is an odd number of pages I get spread, spread, single page, spread.
    Just how the first page is always single, any last pages of a document that has an odd number of pages always gets singled out and the next document resumes in spread format. This is all in one pdf file, which I exported from the book pallet with none of the documents selected or open. I have the box for spreads checked, and it is doing spreads, but just not linking documents as spreads.

    You can use a multipage importer to import a single Page PDF into InDesign.
    Create a single page PDF
    Create a facing pages document the same size as your original file
    Multi-page place the entire pdf into facing pages (automatically done by script)
    Export entire book to PDF as spreads.

    I say to do this with a singe pages PDF - because I don't think it will import multiple InDesign files, you'd have to place them individually - and with my experience it takes longer to import multiple indesign files - so I just use a single pages PDF.

  • Export multi page pdf to excel (searching did not answer my problem)

    I searched the forum and found a few related posts but none have seemed to work for me. I do not use Acrobat much so am not all that familiar with it. I am using Acrobat Professional 8.
    I have a multi page pdf that I want to export to excel. When I choose 'edit > select all' everything highlights. I then right click on the highlighted portion and ask it to 'open table in spread sheet'. It does so but only exports one page of the pdf.
    I have set 'view >page display > single page continuous' but still have had no luck. If someone would help I would greatly appreciate it. Please be specific with menu commands as I may not know where to find something if you just give me the last command.

    Hi,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    You can print a multiple pages of a single PDF file on one page.
    File - Print - Under page size and handling, click on Multiple and then select pages per sheet accordingly.
    You can print through Adobe PDF Printer which will save a new PDF file with multiple pages on single page.
    Once you have this PDF file, then you can export it to TIFF for your application.
    Let me know if this is what you were looking for.

  • Some Two-page Spreads export to PDF/Blurb with Errors

    Hi,
    I have created a Blurb book in default portrait format.
    Some of the two page spreads (sample: first two images in portrait format, third image squared on the top right) do not export correctly. The second image, the one, which will be on both pages, will be slightly smaller on the left page, than on the right page (both on Blurb and PDF export). Sadly, those two page spreads are useless for now
    LR4 release versions, no updates available as of now.
    Took me just three hours to upload the book and see those same errors in the Blurb preview :/

    Daniel

  • How to display a linked multi-page pdf?

    I am a DW newbie building a small website for my book design business. I would like to show book design samples as spreads in a multi-page pdf (set up with page display set to two-up)  linked to thumbnail images on a web page. I have created the links, but the pdf either opens in another window as single page, or (in Firefox) triggers a dialog box which asks to either dowload or open in Acrobat. Is the display of pdfs always dictated by the client browser settings or is there a DW behavior or widget that can accomplish this? Any other ideas on how best to display these samples? DW CS5.5, Mac OS 10.6.8.

    Thanks for your reply. I think I have what I need now: I can export pdfs out of InDesign as spreads, and then the pdf reader in the browser sees that spread in the linked pdf as a single page. Should have thought of that sooner. Would be nice if there was some way to control the display of linked pdfs with code rather than be at the mercy of the client browser.

  • Multi-page document with multi Master-pages

    Using InDesign CS6 (Mac): 
    I'm to start a 50-page document that's single-pages (not spreads) for 3-hole-punch book. I'm using 2 Master pages, which are alternating between the front and back of each sheet. So page 1 is master A, page 2 is B, 3-A, 4-B, etc.
    So that I don't have to manually add alternate pages to the Pages window — is there an elegant way I could tell InDesign at the "New Document" level to create those 50 alternating pages?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, Jdanek, but after posting my question here I realized a better place to post it is in the InDesign forum, and I already got the answer there, which is to create a facing-page document with one master page, that has a larger margin at the binding side. The pages will be read as spreads, even if this a 3-hole-punch book. I then will save it as a single-page PDF for production.

  • "Gutter jump" for photos across 2-page spreads

    I am new to InDesign and cannot find a clue on how to set up a two-page spread in a multi-page publication that is destined for CMYK process printing so that a photograph running across the "gutter" between the pages will print properly in the final publication. Printers used to call this a "gutter jump", but that phrase does not come up in searches of help databases (nor does any equivalent phrase).
    This is not for a page that will simply be folded, but, instead, where the pages will be (for example) pages 4 and 5 of a 16-page signature.
    In the pre-computer era, this was done with two separations of the same image -- the part that would appear on the left-hand page and the part that would appear on the right-hand page -- and was set up so there was overlap of image content between the two in the area where the two pages would meet (so the image would be continuous even if binding covered parts of the image along the spine area or if the pages were not opened completely flat).
    I've found no "how to" guide for this anywhere (books, the PDF guide that came with the program, FAQs, or in forums).
    So: On a two-page spread setup in InDesign, can a photo simply be inserted to jump the gutter between the pages, with InDesign sorting out how to split the image later when the file is RIPped?
    Or, do I insert cropped sections of the photo onto the two facing pages, much as was done in the past (the left portion on the left page and the right portion on the right page, with some image content overlap in the center)?
    If there's a tutorial or a post on this, directions to it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Set up your document as facing pages and just place the photo right
    across the spine. When you export the PDF, the photo will be properly
    split on the spine and the two portions will show up on the correct pages.

  • CS6 Encore Multi-Page Button & Background Issues

    I'm building a blu-ray project for a client using a multi-page motion menu.
    The menu has a minute long video clip with audio looping behind it, and has four button options; Play movie, Languages, Bonus Material, and Scene Selection.
    The Language, Bonus, and Scenes buttons each use a seperate page with highlighted text as buttons for aditional content. Each of these pages also has a light, brown background image which I've turned into a button as a workaround for them to be visible along with the buttons. No matter what I do, only the first page works properly.
    I've tried turning each of the pages seperately into Page 1, (#1) Page 1, to make sure I have my settings correct, and they all work fine as long as they're the first page. However, every other page after page one, (#2), (#3), etc,  turns the buttons into a highlighted block unless I remove the brown backgrounds. Is there another work around this? Is this a limitation of blu-ray; to only allow one page to work with a background image at a time, or is this a limitation of Encore?

    The thing the client is doing is using separate backgrounds for each option, which are spread out across the screen.
    I took a look at the Dark Knight Rises, the Indiana Jones blu-ray set, and those discs kinda show what this client is aiming for; a main menu with play movie, languages, bonus material, and scene options with individual sub menus with separate backgrounds for each option.
    If you happen to have those disc available, give them a look. Is Encore capable of creating blu-ray menus that work similar to those?
    I've been researching this multi-page thing for a week now, and there just isn't a lot of info out there past creating one page. It seems I can create as many pages as I want without a background and it works fine. It's when I add a background to each page is when things start to become problematic. Buttons that were once color highlighted text become ugly solid color blocks.

  • Retain multi-page layout when exporting to PDF

    I have created a multi-page layout, I want to export this to PDF but retain the multi-page view so the client can easily understand how it will look. Currently it exports to single pages rather than the nice 3 page spread I have created.

    Actually it seems it doesn't need to be created as facing pages, as long as you have the doc set not to shuffle and you've dragged the pages together into a single unit. Check the "Spreads" box in the export dialog.

  • How to print an interactive page curl mult-page PDF

    I created a multi-page interactive page curl PDF and when I go to print it out, I am only able to print the first spread. How does one print the entire document?

    Hi,
    thanks for your reply. Initially the document should be open so that the user can input data into the form. But after the creater has finished his data input I would like to convert it to a static PDF so that the document can not be changed anymore. By converting it to a static document the document approvers will then also get the possibility to add comments.

  • Seperating 2-page spreads for printing?

    I recently have had trouble with printing my booklets.
    I am using 11x17 documents and wish to seperate 2 page spreads for printing?
    When i currently print it prints the cover page, page 1, seperate but combines the other spreads, with 2 pages per actual printed page.
    I seperate the files one by one for printing currently but i want t0 know if i have to do that, because it wastes valuable time.
    Is it a problem with the way i am exporting the file?
    Please give me your advice as I am open to other ideas to reaching my main goal.

    When you see two pages side-by-side in an InDesign file which is set up with facing pages, that's just how it looks on the screen. If none of the items on your pages span across both pages of a spread, you can output a multi-page PDF, and each page will be independent. In fact, you could have something that crosses the spine on a spread and still output to single pages, but that's not really the point. The double-page part they are talking about is the ability for you to output (for example) pages 2 and 3, which are side-by-side, as a single page that is twice as wide as a normal single page. They also don't want 32 different one-page PDFs for a 32-page book. Neither of these will be a problem if you export your PDF normally. If you see facing pages in the actual PDF, that may be (probably is) just a viewing option. All of the pages will be singles.
    The point I want to make is that you don't have to override the facing pages to make a multi-page PDF.

  • How do I set up my InDesign file for a Perfet Bound 80 Page book when i have images overlapping a two page spread

    I am looking to create a photo book that is going to be perfect bound. How do I set up the pages in InDesign so that the images that span two pages line up correctly?

    Are you printing this yourself, on a network copier for example? If it's going to be printed on an offset press, it will have to be imposed by prepress techs, and it's their job to make sure that the pages are aligned correctly. There will be some part of a cross-spread image that will be lost in the spine, and their imposition method will take into account whether pages need to be moved outward from the spine by small amounts (called creep) to compensate for the wrap-around that is a part of bindery, but perfect binding isn't as bad as saddle stitch as far as that goes. Talk to your printer, but you will likely just need to compose the book in normal facing-page readers spreads and provide a multi-page PDF (not exported as spreads). They will impose the pages into printers spreads, and thank you for not doing that yourself. There will be aspects of their production that you won't or can't know about, and if you impose it, it will just make it harder for them if they have to undo what you have done incorrectly.

  • How can i print only pages which have been highlighted, from a multi page file?

    How can i print only pages which have been highlighted, in a multi page file.

    Ah, I see want you mean. This might not be practical for you, but if you select one instance of the highlighted text and add a [space] to the little sticky note, all of the highlighted text on that page will appear in the summary.
