I need to upload my portfolio to Issuu for application. My portfolio is done in landscape in 11"X8.5". when I upload my pdf to issuu, then it ends up like this:
I tried everything. I can get my pdf to show two pages at a time on acrobat but it will only show one page at a time when uploaded.
Please help me.

Great... another wanker who thinks they are CAD and Photoshop wizards via self-evaluation.
Get rid of the skill rankings... nothing sours a review more than being let-down. Besides that... clean up those model photographs. Everything is so grey.

no no no...
those aren't my portfolios. I just grabbed them from issuu as examples.
I just need to know how to upload my portfolio like the second example where two pages are shown at a time.

Are you using InDesign (like you should be)? If so, then when you export your PDF for viewing you are able to select the option to either export as pages or spreads. You need to select the "spreads" option.

So it needs to be setup as "spreads" in pdf via InDesign first?
Is that the only way?
my pdf file shows as spreads in acrobat fine but not on issuu.. :(

I thought issuu automatically puts separate pages as spreads. And that they ask you specifically to output your pdf as pages. Outputting to spreads makes issuu put together 2 spreads (4 pages). That's how it was last I checked. That's why sometimes sizes change from the cover to the content in the book, cause people are uploading spreads and issuu is putting 2 spreads together. Check their faq for uploading.
Hi guys,
I need to upload my portfolio to Issuu for application.
My portfolio is done in landscape in 11"X8.5".
when I upload my pdf to issuu, then it ends up like this:
https://issuu.com/emmetmorris/docs/portfolio
where one page is shown per page.
But I want my portfolio to show two pages at a time like this:

Do you guys know how?
