Mixing single and double page spreads with 2 page view, but not for double page spreads?

I am making a comic book submission that must be a pdf. I have a mix of single pages that I want to show in 2 page view, and double page spreads that I want to display as one page so I need them to show in single page view.

I have been splitting my double page spreads, so the pages all line up in 2 page view. Then i crop the image in Adobe Acrobat so the image has not gap in the middle, but there is a line down the middle. I would also prefer to work on my double page spreads in PS as a single doc.

Can I have a PDF set where it goes between single and 2 page view when I want it to?
Thank you for any suggestions. Sorry if this is not enough information, but please ask and I can provide screenshots and more info.

I see. So I can't do it in Adobe Acrobat.

I have InDesighn but have never used it. I will check it out. Thank you.


From InDesign, go to File> New> Document, select the page size and number of pages, and turn on Facing Pages.

Place your PDFs (or .psd) files into InDesign and export to a new PDF. You don't need to split your double pages, they can span across two pages in InDesign.

To make a spread PDF for viewing, turn on the Spreads button when exporting, (no bleed or crop marks), this will give you a single page for the FC & BC and spread pages for everything else (which is a good reader's PDF). There won't be a line between the pages, unless you add one in InDesign.

For the printer, export again as single pages with bleed and crop marks.

If you get stuck. the InDesign forum is a good resource.

Thanks for your reply.

Is there a way to combine two single pages and just use single page view? That way I could combine single page sets and leave the double page spreads as is.

InDesign can create spreads.
