      Does anyone know how to split an image in Adobe, there has to be an easy way. I created whole picture spreads but they have to be submitted as 2 pages, and I need the images split in two, but more importantly to match up when printed. I have googled it and not found what I am looking for. Thanks in advance!

        Hi @Imrush - you'll need to place your artwork on a double-page spread in InDesign, then when you export it to a press-ready PDF, you select 'Pages' (NOT 'Spreads'). And don't forget to include crop marks for bleed. There's lots of YouTube videos on double-page spreads in InDesign that can help guide you.

          To clarify, you wouldn't 'split' a page in Acrobat once you've already created a PDF. You do it as you're exporting to the PDF. Hope that helps!

              I would save a copy and then use the change canvas size option to save the images with the exact same dimensions.

                  If you have a jpeg of a facing pages spread, for example page 2 to the left and page 3 to the right:
                  In Photoshop open the jpeg then name it Pages 2-3, save.
                  Go to VIEW-RULERS.
                  Use the rectangular marquee tool, find the middle point of your spread from the left of Pages 2-3. (if your book is 8" X 10", your spread width is 16")
                  Go to IMAGE- then CROP.
                  Rename this file Page 2. Save.
                  Open the file Pages 2-3 again, then repeat the same process to create Page 3 by starting your marquee tool from the center to the right. Crop, then re-name it as Page 3.
                  You will now have Pages 2-3 spread, Page 2, and Page 3.

                      @lmrush YAY! So glad you figured it out and that I could be of some help. InDesign is really the best there is in terms of a layout program. I couldn't live without both InDesign and Photoshop.

                      I look forward to hearing/seeing more about your book - please continue to share your journey with us!
