Hi @Hendy374084080dng ,

is this a document with Hebrew or Arabic contents?

Then I would leave page direction.

 

What you could do to change direction of pages:

[1] Use script code like the one below written in ExtendScript (JavaScript) to change the active document:

app.documents[0].documentPreferences.pageBinding = PageBindingOptions.LEFT_TO_RIGHT;

How to save script code to a script file, how to install the script file and use it with InDesign's Scripts panel, see:

https://indiscripts.com/pages/help#hd0sb2

 

[2] Install the MENA (Middle East North Africa) version of InDesign and change the document preferences there.

[3] Export to IDML and edit a XML file inside the IDML container file, then open the IDML file as document with InDesign.
