i'm trying to publish a web sized pdf of my portfolio from InDesign. When i set facing pages i have the awkward cover/last page single. When i remove facing pages and do single pages and publish as spreads i still get a pdf that is single pages if acrobat is set to: Page Display: Single Page.
Is there there a way to get a forced left/right view?

put page 1 on page 2 and remove the last single page?

^ thats what I was thinking, just start the document on page 2

you need to have acrobat pro, open the file then use the properties thing on the file menu. you can set the way it is displayed when it is opened, e.g. full screen, magnification, facing pages etc etc. do whatever you want to do then go file>save
is that what you meant?

thanks for the fb. i solved my immediate problem. what i hadn't been doing is exporting the original doc as spreads.
my workaround above was to try to find a way to not have the doc start on a right face page and i'm surprised that there's not a preference for that on the absurd chance you want to start your doc on the left. perhaps it's some print impossibility that i'm just not schooled on.

It's so simple it's not even funny. Leave the cover and back cover blank, and don't export those pages. Nothing else necessary.

Select two pages in the pages palette. Click on the dropdown arrow menu in that palette, and select "Keep Spreads Together".

you get the "go full screen" option from acrobat pro? under settings? i have been trying to figure that out. Someones portfolio had it I just dont remember who
