Need help making multi-page PDF from Indesign 1.5

[Bill_Caddell@adobeforums.com]

I have a 7-panel brochure set up as pages 1-7 consecutively across the top of my "pages" palatte and 8-14 set up consecutively below that. (This is basically how I would set it up in Quark and it seems to work okay here.)

My problem is that I cannot make a PDF that displays more than any 2 adjoining pages at once. I want to show my client a PDF with both 7-panel spreads.

This is Indesign 1.5 and my Acrobat version is Distiller 4. Can it even be done?

Thanks!

Have you set-up your PAPER SIZE to be the width of the seven pages in
the PRINT menu - then, since they're island spreads and you have
selected 'spreads' from the print menu - everything should be good.

Distiller, in this case, will just honour the postscript - so not an
Acrobat problem at all ...

If you have indeed set up "island," or multi-page spreads, you should be able to directly export them. File > Export > Adobe PDF, even in 3-versions-old InDesign 1.5. Then you won't have to set up a paper size. Just check "Spreads."

To make sure you really have multi-page spreads, are the adjoining pages surrounded by a square bracket? Otherwise, InDesign doesn't really see them as spreads. If not, you'll need to use the Keep Pages Together command on the Pages palette menu. (See InDesign Help for more information.)
