      I have a linear gradient created by another person in InDesign CS5.5 that is set across a spread as a single graphic box.

      I will have to split the graphic into two–one on each page of the spread–maintaining the same seamless look as the original. Is there an accurate way to do this in InDesign? Thanks!

      If you export these pages to PDF, the individual PDF pages will each have their own half of the gradient. If there's an absolute need to split the graphic, then do that and replace the double truck graphic with the appropriate PDF on each page.

      Normally, in a situation like this I simply send the PDF of the whole publication to the printer, which avoids any necessity to split a graphic that happens to cross a spread. (The same consideration applies to photographs or any graphic that runs across a spread.)
