discussion Question about creating a pdf as dual-pane view magazine

[rsxxxxx]

I've been working on a magazine project for some time and hit a snag, can't find an answer anywhere. Some of the source material looks like the first sample as a single-page strip, but I want to reformat it to look like a two-page panel magazine. For software, I have master pdf editor, pdf candy desktop, and icecream pdf editor. I know how to extract the images but can not figure out what settings to use to recreate it. Help, please?

(These aren't the actual images I'm using, but keeping it sfw)

Didn't understand exactly what you want, but Adobe Acrobat Reader (I think that's the name) can convert singles page PDFs to booklets (two pages onto a single landscape page).
Is that anything close to what you meant?

Think so. Some of the pictorals from the Innocent Magazines About Nothing To Be Concerned With are two-pages, which means pages 2 and 3 are one image and they don't display properly because they show as a row (like 1.png). Something like this, and I can't figure how to reformat the images to show side-by-side.

The amout of digital comics that cannot handle this is far too high.

Some of the best artwork gets butcherd because it has to be on two speparate pages of the PDF.

I wish you luck on your quest, I can personally see the importance of this! fer reals

Just print it as a PDF and select 2 pages per sheet on the options.

I just found those 2 pdf editors tanks to this post.
Have to ask, does the pages separate into the individual images like you shown? If so, then kiko up here is right, you can just select 2 pages, preview (to check) and print

I dont want to print, just create and save. I'm working on an archive collection of a magazine.

Sometimes a program wont allow you to save the file in some format directly, but they do let you print it, and in that stage you can chose to save it. IDK if that could be the case here

That's why i said "print it as a PDF". Most computers nowadays come with an virtual printer that saves whatever you're trying to print as a PDF file...

I gave your suggestion a shot. If you mean set it as pages per sheet, that just combines two pages into one and shrinks it from 56 pages to 28.

Yes, that's exactly what I got from your explanation...
