Set up facing pages in Pages documents on iPad
Facing pages (also known as a two-page spread), are often used for book layouts and for double-sided documents that you intend to print. Documents that use facing pages can have different headers, footers and master objects on left- and right-facing pages.
Before you begin, determine whether you’re working in a word processing or page layout document. Documents are either one or the other, and you set up facing pages differently for each.

To set margins, drag the arrows on the top, bottom, inside and outside edges of the document body.
You can make the inside margins wider than the outside margins to allow room for binding.
To set the distance of headers and footers from the top and bottom edges of the page, drag the arrows above the header and below the footer to adjust the spacing.
You may also need to drag the arrows for the document body to get the spacing you want. If you have trouble selecting the arrows, spread your fingers on the view to zoom in.
