Preview's two-up feature doesn't work

I followed the instructions to view pages side-by-side in Preview, which are pretty elementary. View > PDF Display > Two Pages. But it simply doesn't work. I still only get one page on screen.
Somehow I doubt anyone will have a suggestion, because it just seems like this wasn't tested... but it can't hurt to ask.
Acrobat has the same option, even in a similar menu selection, and it works like a charm. But I don't want to have to use Acrobat.

Preview seems to have trouble with 2-page documents, treating them like Indesign treats book pages. It won't display the first and last page side by side, but it will show the pages 2 & 3 of a four page document as I expect.
This may be working just fine then... it's just not what I would have expected. while doing page page layout this makes sense, but not when reading them in preview. Or at least, I would hope to be able to simply show them side by side like I can when I print them.
So far, that's the only way I get this to work: open PDF, print PDF set with a layout of 2up.
Kind of lame, but whatever works.

  • Annotating pdf documents in Preview - the text search feature doesn't work?

    Hi everyone,
    I'd like to annotate my pdf documents using preview. However, I realized the other day that as soon as I start annotating a document (with notes, shapes, highlighting, etc), the preview text search doesn't work anymore.
    Thanks for any help or advice!

    This is a known problem. I have seen one suggestion to print the annotated PDF as a new PDF in order to get search capability back. You can try the Apple Discussions "search" feature at the upper right corner to look for more suggestions.

  • My Preview History in iTunes 11 doesn't work!!

    My Preview History in iTunes 11 doesn't work!!  I am logged in. (I only have 1 iTunes account)   I can check preview on my iPhone and iPad and it's fine.  Even when I preview music in iTunes 11 while logged in, it won't show what I just listened to, but will show in my iPhone and iPad!!!
    I trired switching to 32-bit mode. (just read online it worked), but didn't work for me,  Please help!!!  It's one of my favorite features and I can't use it!!

    I had the same problem today.  Previewed several songs on my Mac (Mountain Lion & signed in with Apple ID). Preview history of what I just played synced to my iPad 3rd generation and iPhone 4 (both IOS 6.0.1) ok but history did not show up in iTunes 11.0.1 ("You don't currently have any preview history"). Then previewed songs on my iPad.  Once again, previews showed up on iPad and iPhone but not on Mac.  I then cleared the Preview History on my iPad, which also cleared the phone.
    I then previewed several songs on the iPad.  WONDERS!  Now the iPad previews are syncing to the Mac!  I previewed several songs on the Mac and these previews now show up in my Mac Preview History, as well as the iPad and iPhone histories.
    See if clearing all your History works for you!

  • I tried copying a photo and pasting it in another event/group within iPhoto but the paste feature doesn't work.  This wasn't an issue with both Leopard and Snow Leopard.  Do you have any solutions or tips?

    I bought a new MacBook Pro with OsX Lion as operating system.  I use iPhoto a lot and when I tried copying a photo then pasting it to another event/group, the 'paste' feature doesn't work.  This wasn't the case with Leopard and Snow Leopard where the 'paste' feature worked.  What I did was to paste the photo first to the desktop before transferring it to the new event/group.  I brought my Mac to the Apple store where I bought it and the technicians were themselves surprised that the 'paste' feature didn't work.  Chalked it up to glitches in the Lion os.  So how do we fix this?  I just find it absurd that a feature that used to work in Snow Leopard has been disabled in Lion, and the user still has to undergo an additional step to make it work, when new technology is supposed to make things easier for users. 
    Also, hasn't anyone noticed that it takes longer for the computer to boot upon opening? 

    Instead of copy and paste drag the photo to the new event. Or flag it and use the add flagged photos to selected event command

  • My "Find My iPhone" says on map that my phone is here at my house...but it's not! So...I guess that feature doesn't work?

    My "Find My iPhone" says on map that my phone is here at my house...but it's not! So...I guess that "Find my iphone" feature doesn't work?  Very frustrating.  My iphone volume might be turned off ...does that make a difference if you use the sound locator on the find my iphone?
    Tech support INSISTS that the iphone locator on i Cloud is accurate.  How can it be?  My phone is NOT here!

    Silly Apple, you can't even buy Lion/10.7 anymore, onlt ML/10.8 after you get SL/10.6!???
    You need to get 10.6 & update to 10.6.8 first to be able to buy it from the App Store & download it.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

  • "Fit slideshow to music" feature doesn't work

    I've selected "Fit sideshow to music" on a slideshow I've made. Using a song imported from my iTunes library. Ken Burns effect is switched on.
    But the feature doesn't work. The song ends but there are still more slides to show.
    Isn't the idea that the computer will speed up the pix so they end just as the music ends?
    Anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks.

  • IOS 6 Bug? VIP feature doesn't work w/ ActiveSync mail

    I noticed that the new VIP feature doesn't work against ActiveSync mail. The feature works as advertised with my Hotmail account, however.
    I am able to select VIP users from within my AS account but their emails are not being filtered into the VIP folder. I do get an audio alert however when their emails come in.
    is this by design or is it a bug?

    I use Active sync on Exchange 2007.
    I have 1 user, my boss, currently set to VIP and it is working ok.

  • "Find Next" feature doesn't work in preview.

    The only way I've been able to search for text in preview is searching the whole document. This doesn't work too well when the pdf is an 1100 page text book. When selecting "Find Next" from the drop down menu I get no response at all. Also, is there any way to turn off the "seach as you type" feature? Please help, this is my only hang up with using Preview.
    Unfortunately using adobe reader solves the problem, but I really do loathe the clunky interface and choppy scrolling.

    I am running OS X 10.8.2 (supplemental) and Preview v6.01.
    I can search for a particular string in a PDF. It will highlight all occurrences in yellow. Then, whether from the Find menu > Find Next, or by using Command+G from within Preview, it will quickly step to the next occurrence of the Find target. Just tested this on my machine, and it works fine. Nothing special set to make this work.
    Unaware of any setting to disable search as you type feature.
    If there is a com.apple.Preview.plist file in your home directory/Library/Preferences, you might try dragging it to the Trash and emptying it.

  • HP M1120 mfp:  two sided printing doesn't work

    After that I have installed Snow Leopard the double printing doesn't work any more. There is someone that have found a solution to this problem?

    Have you updated the software through Software Update? And did you check if there was a Duplex feature that needs to be enabled when adding the printer?
    This thread also has details about adjusting the memory, but I am not sure if it applies:

  • LR4.1 : "Edit-In" "Open as Smart Object with Photoshop..." feature doesn't work with 32bits

    Hi there,
    I am running LR4.1/CS5/ACR6.7 on a Win7 64bits system.
    The feature "Edit-In" > "Open as Smart Object with Photoshop..." does work Ok with raw files (.NEF).
    However, when i do try to use the same feature with 32 bits .TIFF files (which are output of the LR4.1's "Edit-In" > "Merge to HDR Pro in Photoshop..." other feature), nothing does happen (the Photoshop application windows does open but w.o the image that i've just selected).
    I've used search engines and Adobe online help to see if there was any limit preventing the usage of this feature with 32 bits .TIF files but couldn't see such note.
    Thanks for your help !
    Albert

    Thanks Rikk,
    That did work with a DNG file :-)
    I am working with very huge .TIF files (400MB), so i am wondering if size could be the main issue (although my PC has lots of HW resources).
    I will explore the DNG way, a format which seems anyways to be very promising now with LR4.
    In case anyone has an idea why it doesn't work the .TIF files, please shoot !

  • Two-finger scroll doesn't work in the "comments list" in Adobe Reader

    Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.07, Mac 10.9.3
    Two-finger scroll works great in the main pane.  However it doesn't work in the comments list area (View -> Comments -> Annotations).
    Dealing with 500+ annotations that I have to approve.  Not being able to scroll through them easily is frustrating.
    Any suggestions?
