Alternate Layout for Facing/non-Facing

[IcamI]

I have a facing-page document with a slightly bigger inside margin to compensate for binding when printed.

However, I would also like to use the document to be exported for PDF viewing (one page at a time for presentation purposes) but I find the shifting margins are pretty distracting when flicking through the PDF.

Is there an easier solution to this than having two separate documents (facing/non-facing) and copying over all the content?

Semi-related question: When I enter presentation mode on a facing page document is there an option to only show one spread at a time. Presentation mode currenty shows both spreads side by side and its hard ot pick out much detail.

Thanks

You can export your main document as PDF, then place this PDF in a new INDD document with narrow pages and then export again.

Of course, you'll have to move right pages left - but can be easily scripted. 

You would have to do it once - use this new INDD as a template and just re-export PDF when needed. 

Before anyone suggests placing INDD pages directly - it's much slower to view and there is source PDF anyway.

Hi @IcamI , you can also trim your PDF in AcrobatPro using Set Page Boxes in Print Production—trim the right side of the even pages, then the left side:
