Quark spread

[btjakobeit]

So I need some help laying out a double page spread in quark! I need the image to bleed across two pages and then output the pages as separate print reedy pdfs! I am having problems with the layout in quark and the correct bleeds. I am a Photoshop person teaching myself quark! Any help would be great!

Thanks
:)

What specific problems are you having?

In Quark, just create two pages (no need to do facing pages if you're not doing more than two pages). Drag the second page thumbnail up alongside the first one. Create a picture box that spans both pages. Insert (Get Picture) the image you want. For the bleeds, that depends a little bit on your printer, but typically, it's 1/8" all the way around.

To print the pages as separate print ready PDFs, simply uncheck the print as spreads box in the print dialog.
