Have you ever had a printer request a PDF with an inside bleed... and now... how do you get it? You've set your file up for spreads, but exporting with inside bleeds cuts into the next page!
This HANDY little script will pull pages apart onto their own spreads while still maintaining the left- and right-hand properties of each! (Works much better with LOCKED primary text frames.)
