How do export a double page spread photo to epub and fill an ipad screen?

I'm completely new to indesign. I'm using XP and Indesign CS6. I'm testing my epub on the new IPad 3.
I've published numerous books in print form with major publishing house in the US. I need to quickly get a copy of the book in epub format for publication on the ipads. Maybe later for the nook, etc. Eventually I will want to design new ebooks from scratch.
We are scanning the book spreads [photos and text together a double page spread] and want to show those spreads on the ipad as a single horizontal image with no page gutter. We've placed those jpg spreads in indesign as a double page spread. When we publish to epub it does not show as a double page spread. It only shows up as a horizontal image on either the left or right side of a vertical book [gutter layout] view on the ipad. It never spreads out to fill the entire ipad screen. What simple thing are we missing?
Thanks so much
Dwight

"The" iPad does not exist as a target, so I'm assuming you mean you export to a regular ePub and are viewing it using iBooks.
iBooks is page-agnostic. ePubs do not support the notion of "left-right" pages. In fact, iBooks is the only ePub viewer I am aware of that even tries to show "two" pages at a time.
Re-design your document so each image appears on its own page.

Exporting a double page spread and the PDF ends up blank?

I've created a double page spread as part of my university portfolio and wish to export this. Although when I export to a PDF the file is blank. I've tried changing everything and watching many videos but I can't seem to find the problem? I using CS6. I have changed the range to spreads also. HELP!

AH! Willi has spotted the problem.
You've created a new master spread in the Pages panel, and don the whole layout on the master page. Master pages are used for content that should be the same on multiple pages so you can create it once, then apply the master pages to the live document pages.
Open the Pages panel and add two in the bottom section. The "quick and dirty" solution at this point would be to drag the Master B page onto them, but it would be better to learn how to do this the right way. Since you have content that crosses the page boundary, you will need to have your two pages arranged as a spread. You can do this by setting the start page to an even number in Numbering and Sections options, or you can turn off page shuffling from the Pages panel flyout menu and drag the two pages together. Then cut the content from the B master page, and Paste in Place on the document pages spread.
This is basic InDesign usage, which makes me think you could use some training. Best beginners book is probably Sandee Cohen's Visual QuickStart Guide for InDesign.

How can I view double page spreads in pages? (iCloud pages).

The defalt for iCloud pages Is just page after page when you scroll down. Is there a way to view two pages side by side? It is really hard to alline things when they are not side by side. -- and no. making a new landscape document does not count.

Anne,
There are many, four I believe, ways to go about this. You could:
1. Open Pages and File > Open > browse to your document > Click Open.
2. With Pages running, Drag the document file to the Pages icon on the Dock
3. Control-Click the document file and select Open With > choose Pages.
4. Control-Click the document file and select Get Info. Choose Open With, choose Pages, Click Change All. Now any double-click on this document type will cause it to open in Pages. (I think this is the solution you are looking for, but I couldn't resist teasing you with the others.)

In ibooks i want to open books to double page spread. How?

My books, even in landscape mode, only show one page at a time. I want to have double page spread. How do I do that?
Thanks, Tzipora

Well, everyone, I found two apps that open pdf's in landscape and turn pages. All that I want.
One is called PerfectReader. The other is Bookman. That solves that problem. Thanks for the help.

Exporting PDFs and maintaining double-page spread format

I've combined a large number of individual PDF files (created in InDesign) for print. Now I would like to create an iBook with these pages. I've created a PDF file for use on an iPad but how do I maintain the double-page spread format? I can view this successfully in Acrobat but not in iBooks. Can anyone help?
Thanks

This is best addressed in either an iBooks forum on the Apple website or InDesign. For use in iBooks you might be best off using a format other than pdf.

How do I create a double page spread in a booklet layout on InDesign with out splitting my design and putting them on two separate pages?

I'll try my best to put this in the most simplest way,
Im trying to create a magazine, but I'm finding it difficult to make a double page spread without splitting it in half and putting it on different pages?
Is it possible to set the pages up so they are side by side, and then change them to the right order to print?

Just set them up as letter size pages in reader order. If you are having it printed professionally, send it as a pdf with separate pages, and the printer will handle setting up the printer spreads. If you are printing it from an office printer, both InDesign and Acrobat have Print Booklet functions. Many office printers also have this capability built in.

From single page to double page spreads when rotating

We've seen some publications that display as a single page when the iPad is held in portrait mode but switch to double page spreads when the iPad is rotated to landscape mode.
We've searched this forum - which has been very helpful so far - but can't seem to find how to enable this. Is it something fairly simple we've missed or has it been custom coded for the publications that use it? They seem to be pdf based as far as we can tell, or at least they are 'pinch & zoom'able and don't have any other interactivity, so they're quite basic. Nonetheless it is quite a nice way to display/read the publications.
We're quite new to the whole Adobe DPS system but are keen to get up to speed with it. We see a lot of potential with these tools.
Thanks

Very simple... create 1 folio for each spread with 1 page in landscape orientation and 2 pages in portrait - and only allow horizontal navigation (we use DPS + WoodWing so terms might differ at bit). Adobe made a script for converting PDF to Folio - spread by spread. Use the script for creating the needed layouts.
We have at least 15 apps working like that.

I am making a book in iPhoto using a double page spread and blank layout. I can't find a way to minimize the picture. it is too big in all the themes. I seems like there must be a way to shrink it not just zoom to make it fit?

Command (right) - click on the photo and select Fit to Frame in the contextual menu:
Not all frames in a theme offer that feature but most do. The spread layout doesn't.

Double page spread for photobooks

Hi folks,
anyone know if its possible to create a photobook (soft cover style) with one photo as a double page spread?

That was done by a user in iPhoto 6 very successfully. Do a search in the iPhoto 6 book and print ordering forum. He posted screenshots of the result and they were pretty impressive.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Double page spread possible?

Apple claim that it is possible to create a double page spread, ie one photo across two pages. I can find no way to achieve this and internet research basically says it cannot be done. Is there an easy way to do this?

Léonie had it right the theme doesn't matter. You can put the full page template into any theme.
Depends on the theme. Some of the stock themes support this (Art Collection and Journal do for example) and some don't.
The only way to see which do is to open them in turen and look for the layout page like so:

Is it possible to join two single pages in a pdf into one double page spread?

Is it possible to take two single pages from separate pdf documents and combine them as one double page spread?
If it is possible could someone describe how it is done please?

The InDesign method Steve mentions is the best option. You can also place it in Illustrator as an import but you'll need to have the same fonts as the PDF file. This option will allow you to edit the files, pending what objects are editable. It will have a few quirks, and the text lines might be separate objects.
I'd go InDesign, but just in case you don't have ID, you can use Illustrator, but be prepared for a little work.

Images printing over double page spreads

Hi all,
I was just about to order a new book through Aperture, when I looked closely at the PDF and noticed that there was image duplication when an image was placed across a double page spread - the duplication occurs right where the spine would be - about an inch (maybe less) or so of the photo is repeated on both the left and right pages. Has anyone else experienced a problem with this? Is this correct? Perhaps it's just allowing for the binding process. Any help gratefully taken - even more so if you could check your own printed books and see if there are any issues with images printed over a double page spread.
Thanks,
GT
PS - rwboyer - I just emailed you privately about this as well, to include an image - sorry if that is terribly rude.

Hi again,
I've answered by own question (or had it answered by Apple) - DO NOT drag an image box over the spine - it will cause a significant amount of duplication of the image on both the left and right pages. This will be reflected in the print version.
I've suggested to Apple that there should be something that stops users from doing this. In my opinion, it's not good enough that the software interface allows you to do this, only to screw it up at the print stage.

Printing double page spreads

Hey,
I need to print double page spreads where a single image spans both pages.
And to complicate things I need to print on the Moab pre-drilled paper for my portfolio.
Outside of going into Photoshop and cutting the image in two and printing them out. Is there a way to do it in Lightroom?
Also is there a way to keep all of the pages with their layouts and images intact for a later time when I would want to print another portfolio?

I am assuming that your paper is as large as the double spread.
Here's how I would go about it:
(1) Add the paper size to the printer' list of paper sizes so that it is available for printing.
(2) In Lr select this paper size - in the Print Module left side at the bottom <Page Setup> button.
(3) Also necessary is an icc-profile for the Moab paper. If you don't have it, download it from Moab and install it on your system. It then should be available in Lr - Print Module, right side under "Color Management".
If the paper you are using is only as large as one half of the spread, you would have to cut the image in half as per your suggestion. In Lr you can do it the following way:
Crop the image exactly at the center so that you have only 1/2 of the image - let's say the left side. Create a virtual copy of that cropped image.
Go back to your original image and undo the cropping by going back in the history palette to the step before the crop. Now crop again but this time the right half. Create a virtual copy of that. You have now two virtual copies one representing the left side, one representing the right side. [Go back to your original and undo the cropping - you don't need it on the original]. Print both virtual copies.

Viewing double-page spreads (two pages side by side)

I'm using Adobe Reader 8.1. How do I read two pages side by side? A lot of documents/magazines publish double-page spreads, and it's very frustrating trying to read these in single-page format.
I'm using a very hi-res WUXGA screen (148dpi), so it's perfectly possible for me to read full pages side by side in full-page view. But Reader won't let me. Very frustrating. Am I missing something?
I seem to recall doing this with earlier versions of Reader, a year or two back - if so, the feature's either disappeared or very hard to find. Very frustrating.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks!
Good lord, I really had spent a lot of time looking (including browsing FAQs and the full online knowledgebase, and completely overlooked that.
I don't think it was stupidity on my part. I think it needs adding to the help files.
I'm used to referring to it as 'DPS' or 'double page spread', which doesn't feature in Help search, and nothing came of a search for phrases like "two pages" either. I figured it would be in 'Zoom'.

Pagination with Double page spreads?

Having a little issue; Normally I do my page numbers manually (insane I Know, but I usually do very small books so it doesn't matter too much), but I am working on a very large book and doing it manually is out of the question.
I am inserting a Special Character textbox,to start from page 3, however , I have designed each A4 page in InDesign to be 2 pages in the book format (so A5 book pages). I want InDesign to realise this but I am having trouble. I have tried pasting my automatic pagination textbox (Even trying to set it to 'Display previous page') but it is not having it.
How Can I work around this. I've attached an image incase this doesn't make sense (which i'm sure it won't! )
Here's a link to the pic: You can see that my A4 InDesign Pages have 2 A5 pages fitted on, but InDesign sees it as the same page # (understandably). I need one of them to display 'PREVIOUS PAGE'. So I can paste in place on every page.

Hope you can help, thanks!

You would work around this by not doing that way.
InDesign doesn't work for this; the usual way to get "double page spreads" is to make single pages. That's why there is a checkbox "Facing Pages" in the New Document dialog -- pages are viewed as they will be printed, and still they are separate.
Unfortunately, your current way of working is so off course that there is no easy way to "convert" your spreads to regular pages. It might be less work to bite the bullet, accept the consequences of Not Looking Ahead, and number (once again) by hand.
