It is possible to make a InDesign book print or pdf as spreads. But the last page of an document/chapter and the first page of the next document/chapter are always single pages! Therefore many dtp-ers choose not to use the InDesign book option, but make the complete book in one document.

I would love to send my complete InDesign book as pdf in spreads for email review. Please let the first and last page of the book documents be exported as spreads, as if it was made in one document.

A bit tricky indeed but definitely the way to go! Thanks ///

EDIT

You can actually do this directly from Id now using the Export PDF panel:

Tried it but they did not open it right and they had difficulties printing it as spreads. I learned never to make it difficult for an costumer. But i am curious to hear from you how to do this right...

You know you can set the default view in Acrobat so your readers see an individual page layout as spreads when they open it, right?
