Left and right layouts are swapped when outputting PDF

I am using 'Templates' to output PDF in RoboHelp 2022. In these templates, the layout set by subdividing First, Left (odd page), and Right (even page) is used. However, when outputting to PDF, there is a problem that the left and right layouts are reversed.

 

 

For example, in the Left layout, the page number of the footer is set to be displayed on the left, and in the Right Layout, it is set to be displayed on the right. However, when outputting to PDF, the output is reversed.

    I don't have RoboHelp available at the. moment but I believe the templates are only for left-facing. However, it should be possible to change that in the template settings.

    Templates settings are as follow image.

    I wonder why the left (odd pages) and right (even pages) layouts are swapped.

    What I meant was try changing the settings for right to left and left to right. Effectively trick RoboHelp into giving you what you want.
