    Hi everyone,

    I’m working on a script right now, but I’m stuck with a InDesign issue.
    I need to split a spread easily to afterward write a javascript with it.
    How can I split a spread into single pages, without moving a page only through InDesign functions?

    Seems easy, but I’m out of solutions. I’ve tried to uncheck facing pages, spread stays still.
    To achieve what I need, I have to move a spread page over the page seperator.

    Any ideas anyone?

    Thanks

    Patrick

    Patrick:

    Did you have any luck with the script?

    I am frustrated because when Adobe would no longer “support” my InDesign CS3, I fianlly upgraded to the 2022 software. But I had a script that separated spread pages into single pages. Within seconds, it did what it would take me several minutes to do with the “dragging” pages apart.

    Now that script is gone, and I can’t figure out where I had originally found it!

    Hi Patrick,

    If I’m understanding correctly, all that you should need to do is make sure that “Allow Document Pages to Shuffle” and “Allow Selected Spreads to shuffle” is checked (You’ll know that a spread isn’t allowed to shuffle if the page numbers appear in brackets in the panel).

    To do this, right-click on a page in the pages panel and select just that — if they both have a checkmark next to it, then you’re good.

    Hope this helps!
