Keep SOME spreads together in PDF

We have a lot brochures which we provide both in hard copy as in digital version (PDF).
A minor annoyance with the digital versions, is that i have to choose between all spreads, or no spreads.
Take the screenshot for example: i would like pages 1-5 exported as single pages, page 6-7 (marked in red) as a spread,...
Is there a way to tell InDesign which spreads should be exported as spreads, and which not?
I don't want to export the complete PDF in spreads.
One solution i thought of is to turn the spreads into 1 page directly in InDesign, but that would mess up the export of the PDF for the hard copy. For obvious reasons, i don't want to make and maintain 2 different INDD files.
It's not such a big deal, but tips for choosing spreads selectively are very much appreciated!

Thanks, that's a solution i didn't think of.
Unfortunately it's a bit a hassle to do this, especially knowing our files change very regularly.
I was hoping for a more automated solution.
For example, the "allow spreads to shuffle" parameter could perhaps be used upon exporting to PDF, to tell InDesign which pages should be single and which spreads should be kept together.
A new feature for future versions, Adobe?

  • I have tried a lot to find an app or some way in email to attach multiple of pdf files in one email. I could not find anything that sends multiple pdf file in one email and still keeping the file in simple pdf format for the recipient.

    I am not aware of a way except for photos that allows you to select multiple files in an email. I even checked settings in the Adobe Reader app, and it does not show that ability.

  • Keeping certain tracks together in Shuffle mode

    I have some live music (would like to import it in AAF format) that is tracked but I want to keep certain tracks together as "one track" when in shuffle mode.  I don't mind if I need to make a new second track that is this one long connected track, but need an easy way to do it so that it sounds seamless.
    Thanks in advance.

    I don't know if this would be seamless enough for your needs, but try using Groups. You can assign tracks to a group be using the "Get Info" window (cmd+I) info tab to assign a grouping.
    To choose whether iTunes shuffles by songs, albums, or groupings, choose Controls > Shuffle > [Option].
    If you select “by Albums” or “by Groupings,” iTunes plays the songs in the order in which they appear on the album or in the grouping, and then chooses another album or grouping at random.

  • Error Message "Some content on the PDF is too large to fit on a single page.

    I get the below error when I try to download a response as a .pdf:
    Some content on the PDF is too large to fit on a single page.
    Please go to the "Design Tab" and adjust the contents, the font-size, or divide the flagged items into multiple elements.
    Any ideas?

    Go to the Design Tab and make sure you switch to the Page View (look the bottom right corner of the screen)
    Once you see the Page View (used to see what the PDF will look like for your response) scroll down and you might see which object is being trucated (it will be covered by a red rectangle). This often happen if you have a element that is too big to fit on one page (like a single or multi choice field).
    You will need to adjust your element so that nothing is trucated.

  • HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

    iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.  I've seen reference to the  "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app.  I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for.  I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

  • How can I keep some music on laptop HD and bulk on EHD?

    I would like to keep some music on my laptop HD for portability but have a lot of other music that I want to keep on an external Hard Drive to to keep my internal a cleaner. How can I continue with the music I already have on my internal HD but connect and use the external too?

    Open the Advanced section of the iTunes preferences, verify that it isn't set to copy music to the iTunes Music folder when imported, place the other music files on the external drive outside of iTunes, and then drag them into the open iTunes window.

  • How Can I Keep Embedded Documents in a PDF Conversion of a Word Document?

    I am running XP and using Word 2010.  I have a document that contains embedded Word documents.  I can convert the document to PDF but I loose the embedded documents when I do.  Is there a way to keep them available in the PDF version?  I can "attach" them, but don't know how to make those attachments obvious to a reader.
    Any help you can give would be appreciated.

    Something embedded in a Word file isn't going to migrate to PDF with the Word file's "page content".
    If the embedded files are support use Acrobat to convert them to PDF.
    Combine the PDFs.
    Configure this PDF to open with the Bookmarks showing.
    (Document Properties > Initial View)
    Edit / add Bookmarks as desired.
    Be well...

  • Hello. My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files. Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????? I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9

    My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files.Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????/ I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9
    Please help me!!!!

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Can Ipad2 be restored and still keep some apps?

    I just purchased an Ipad2 from a friend.  Is it possible to restore to factory settings but still keep some of his purchased apps?  I assume if I restore and sync to my itunes that i will lose his apps.

    You should not keep his purchase apps under any conditions since you did not purchase them and have no legal right to keep them. Create or use your own iTunes account.
    There are many free apps available for the iPad and many paid apps are very inexpensive. Do the right thing, restore to factory settings and make the iPad your own.
    And yes - when you sync to your own iTunes library you will lose his apps.

  • Keep list items together - Can it be done, and how?

    I have a document with lots of lists with five or six items in them peppered throughout the text.
    b I would like to set up my Paragraph Styles such that each item in a list
    (styled NumberedList)
    b is kept together on one page,
    but haven't found within the Help Files, this forum or via Google a way to make this happen.
    One imperfect option would appear to be to use 'Keep with Next:' X lines, and set X to equal the number of items in my largest list minus 1. This would have the desired effect of keeping the list together, but would have the undesireable effect of keeping the next X number of lines of the next paragraph(s) with the list.
    Surely this would be quite a common design aim.
    Any tips?
    CS3 on OSX

    Thanks Gerald.
    Five minutes testing seems to confirm that this still has the effect(
    i edit:
    in certain circumstances) of 'dragging' the list onto the next page if there is a body text paragraph following it .
    It certainly isn't as bad as I originally posited, in that it is only a line (or two, depending on how one likes to set the keep preferences for the body text style), but I suppose I was expecting an option to ensure that all elements in a list are kept together without that rule being associated with any text that followed the list in the document.
    Thanks again, it's certainly better than what I thought I could do. But if there is another way I'd love to hear it.

  • Acrobat distiller keeps on quitting when creating pdf

    Hi there, my Acrobat distiller 10 in OS X Mountain Lion keeps on quitting when creating pdf. Please help.

    Hello,
    1. Please try updating the Acrobat to 10.1.10 and then check the issue.
    2. Go to Settings -> Font Locations. You'll see a list of sources that Distiller gets its fonts from. Make sure that the paths actually exist, delete them if they don't.
    3. Try with different joboptions.

    ... ALL THE REST IS BLOCKED FOR EDIT.
    I want that, How can I get it?
    Please, apologize my bad english, I speak portuguse.

    Remember, most people don't have software for editing PDF files at all. They will not want to buy Acrobat just to edit your ebook.
    Otherwise, I think you need to learn about form fields. This allows you to decide where it is to be typed in. You can allow filling and request editing is not allowed.  You need to understand exactly what software can and can't fill in forms, and what can and can't save the result; it changes with versions of Adobe Reader.
    Remember too that some software ignores your security settings anyway.
