Indesign, I can no longer apply parent pages to the document

Hi,

 

I have been working on a book of 206 pages for about 6 months. When I sent it to the printer they asked me to redo the layout so that everything was on single pages rather than spreads. When I changed from spreads to pages in my document setup all my layout got messed up. I redid my parent pages and I was re-associating each page with a parent or master. It was working perfectly when out of nowhere (I wasn't changing anything) none of the parent pages would work. The only thing I can add is the master page. Every single parent page dropped into the document becomes the master page.

 

I couldn't sleep last night lol. Any help would be reatly appreciated,

Liba

When you Export from InDesign to PDF for Print select Export As Pages (not Spreads) and tick Use Document Bleed Settings; your printer will advise you whether they want crop marks or not.
