first page should be right, but it's a left page in the PDF

I am generating a PDF using Print Book.

Pagination is set to...

Double Sided

1st Page Side: Right

The first page should be the cover, so when it's flipped, the next page should be on the left.

In the PDF, the first page is on the left, which throws off the formatting of the subsequent pages.

Hi,

In Acrobat there is this option:

View > Page Display > Show Cover Page In Two Page View

When it is selected, the first page will be a single right page in Two Page view.

If you deselect it, the first page will be a left page in Two Page view.

What do you have selected here?

Does this solve your problem?

Best regards

Winfried

THANK YOU! It's amazing that if you enter "pagination" in any of the "help" sections, it's "not found." Getting page 1 to be on the right hand side for the book when exporting from .pages to .pdf should be logical/easier (maybe with a graphic of some sort). You rescued me!

If in FM everything is set up right, please note that there is also a ln Acrobat setting that controls how the first page ("Cover page") is displayed.

See here: Viewing PDFs and viewing preferences, Adobe Acrobat

AFAIK it's an application wide (end user) setting in Acrobat, so there is no control from the authoring side.
