It's not the first time I've ever created a Publisher file but it's first time something like this is happening - whenever I try to save it to pdf it like combines two halves of the pages into one - I never changed any settings and yet this started occuring - the only way to make it work is sending the file via e-mail, but that will not work for a long time since I'm losing my patience. Thank you in advance:)

File > Export > Create PDF/XPS Document
It supposedly is more reliable.
