I edited a small book in InDesign. I want to send it to the author to see the layout of the spread pages. How do I do that?

Hi @Shlomi33337278h1gf,

 

Thanks for reaching out! You can easily share your book in a double-page (spread) layout by exporting it as a PDF. While exporting, go to File > Export, choose Adobe PDF (Print), and in the Export Adobe PDF dialog, under the "General" section, make sure to check the “Spreads” option. This will preserve your layout and allow the author to view the book as you designed it, with facing pages together. Once exported, just send the PDF to the author for review.

 

Let me know if that works or if you run into any trouble. I'll be happy to assist further and our community experts can always share more detailed steps if needed!
