Splitting spreads in InDesign....

topic posted Thu, November 23, 2006 - 10:43 AM by 
I'm prepping a magazine for printing and am used to having a service provider who does the PDFing....but this one its all me and I know I need to have bleeds on all 4 sides of each page even when they're in a spread but I can't figure out the magic help query in InDesign to show me how to do it....Anybody know how to split the spreads in InDesign so that I can pull bleeds on the inside gutter as well as the outside edges?

    do you mean you want to convert from facing pages to single pages? that's under File > Document Setup... -- uncheck the Facing Pages box, then under the More Options section, set the bleed area.

    why is the printer making you give them single pages with bleeds?

      No....splitting them from facing pages moves the folios.

      When they're imposed, they need to have bleeds of their own, not of their adjacent pages.

      I didn't solve this one, but it will 99 3/4% guarunteed work out.

      or i'll move to bali and give up magazines for good.

      actually, i'm sorta hoping it doesn't work out, if that's really the options.
