Viewing double-page spreads (two pages side by side)

I'm using Adobe Reader 8.1. How do I read two pages side by side? A lot of documents/magazines publish double-page spreads, and it's very frustrating trying to read these in single-page format.
I'm using a very hi-res WUXGA screen (148dpi), so it's perfectly possible for me to read full pages side by side in full-page view. But Reader won't let me. Very frustrating. Am I missing something?
I seem to recall doing this with earlier versions of Reader, a year or two back - if so, the feature's either disappeared or very hard to find. Very frustrating.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks!
Good lord, I really had spent a lot of time looking (including browsing FAQs and the full online knowledgebase, and completely overlooked that.
I don't think it was stupidity on my part. I think it needs adding to the help files.
I'm used to referring to it as 'DPS' or 'double page spread', which doesn't feature in Help search, and nothing came of a search for phrases like "two pages" either. I figured it would be in 'Zoom'.

How can I view double page spreads in pages? (iCloud pages).

The defalt for iCloud pages Is just page after page when you scroll down. Is there a way to view two pages side by side? It is really hard to alline things when they are not side by side. -- and no. making a new landscape document does not count.

Anne,
There are many, four I believe, ways to go about this. You could:
1. Open Pages and File > Open > browse to your document > Click Open.
2. With Pages running, Drag the document file to the Pages icon on the Dock
3. Control-Click the document file and select Open With > choose Pages.
4. Control-Click the document file and select Get Info. Choose Open With, choose Pages, Click Change All. Now any double-click on this document type will cause it to open in Pages. (I think this is the solution you are looking for, but I couldn't resist teasing you with the others.)

Double pages in digital editions 2.0

i just updated digital editions mac from 1.7 to 2.0. now i can't find a way to view double pages.

HT1040 I am just about to order a 92 page book in Aperture and have previewed the order and found that in the PFD file I get all the pages are now different. Double page spreads are now on 2 different pages when viewed in 2 up continuous mode in Adobe Rea

I am just about to order quite an expensive 92 page large size book in Aperture & have used the Preview button and on viewing the book in the PDF using the 2 up continuous viewing mode I find that the page arrangement is all wrong with double page spreads now on separate pages and all my carefully designed pages in the wrong places. Will the book actually get printed like this? Regards,Keith

How did you create the preview of the book? It will look exactly like shown, when you press "Buy Book", then "Preview Book". This will open the Preview of you book in the "Preview" application. Set this to "Two-page mode". Then you should be able to see your double page spreads correctly, like here:

How do I create a double page spread in a booklet layout on InDesign with out splitting my design and putting them on two separate pages?

I'll try my best to put this in the most simplest way,
Im trying to create a magazine, but I'm finding it difficult to make a double page spread without splitting it in half and putting it on different pages?
Is it possible to set the pages up so they are side by side, and then change them to the right order to print?

Just set them up as letter size pages in reader order. If you are having it printed professionally, send it as a pdf with separate pages, and the printer will handle setting up the printer spreads. If you are printing it from an office printer, both InDesign and Acrobat have Print Booklet functions. Many office printers also have this capability built in.

How do i change the display in ADE to a single page view instead of two pages side by side? I find it distracting and prefer to look at one page at a time.

You can increase the font size and automatically page view changes. Go to menubar; Reading -> PDF View or Epub Text Size (depending upon the ebook) and increase the size.

Hi I'm running Addressbook and cannot clear previous entry easily when searching my data base of around 5,000 contacts.
I prefer to view in All contacts on a double page spread with details on the right page. Searching doesn't seem to work correctly in this view.
It's always the second search that is problematic.
I've tried typing over and all it seems to do is confine the search to the the entries that have come up for the previous search.
I've tried to use the x to clear the previous entry and then type the next search, same problem. The only way seems to be to move from "All Contacts" to "Groups". Then the searched name appears and I can return to All Contacts to see full details.
Surely three key press' are not the way it's supposed to work?

Is it possible to join two single pages in a pdf into one double page spread?

Is it possible to take two single pages from separate pdf documents and combine them as one double page spread?
If it is possible could someone describe how it is done please?

The InDesign method Steve mentions is the best option. You can also place it in Illustrator as an import but you'll need to have the same fonts as the PDF file. This option will allow you to edit the files, pending what objects are editable. It will have a few quirks, and the text lines might be separate objects.
I'd go InDesign, but just in case you don't have ID, you can use Illustrator, but be prepared for a little work.

How can I view two pages side by side in the new Pages?

I can not find the feature to allow me to do this (which was available in the old version). This is really causing problems with some of my documents that have been created to be viewed this way. Any help would be great!

I am a loyal Apple user because Apple form always follows function. Deleting this feature from Pages was a stupid decision. Amateurish, really. Makes me question the new design team's competence.
One of the key principals in good user experience design is providing value - simple, clean functionality that users find useful. Side-by-side edititng is a great example. Yes, the document is stored internally as a linear stream, but from the user's point of view the presentation should be as a reader sees it. I don't know why it was removed, but I suspect it was either to conform with the internal form of the data, or to the least-common-denominator presentation device, or both.
I bought a Thunderbolt display so that I could edit documents 2 pages at a time. My intended audience sees the document this way, and so I would like to write it this way. But I can't with the new Pages.
Apple, please restore the side-by-side view in Pages. I have work to do. (And while you are at it, fix the EndNote plug-in.)

How do export a double page spread photo to epub and fill an ipad screen?

I'm completely new to indesign. I'm using XP and Indesign CS6. I'm testing my epub on the new IPad 3.
I've published numerous books in print form with major publishing house in the US. I need to quickly get a copy of the book in epub format for publication on the ipads. Maybe later for the nook, etc. Eventually I will want to design new ebooks from scratch.
We are scanning the book spreads [photos and text together a double page spread] and want to show those spreads on the ipad as a single horizontal image with no page gutter. We've placed those jpg spreads in indesign as a double page spread. When we publish to epub it does not show as a double page spread. It only shows up as a horizontal image on either the left or right side of a vertical book [gutter layout] view on the ipad. It never spreads out to fill the entire ipad screen. What simple thing are we missing?
Thanks so much
Dwight

"The" iPad does not exist as a target, so I'm assuming you mean you export to a regular ePub and are viewing it using iBooks.
iBooks is page-agnostic. ePubs do not support the notion of "left-right" pages. In fact, iBooks is the only ePub viewer I am aware of that even tries to show "two" pages at a time.
Re-design your document so each image appears on its own page.

Double page view issue

Hi,
although it looks like a minor issue I wasn't able to resolve it and therefore request your help.
When viewing a multi page document (e.g. scanned book or brochure) in double page view mode (2 pages on the screen located besides each other), Adobe Reader shows the first and second page at once, then the third and fourth and so on. Referring to a printed document, it should be instead: page 1, page 2 + 3, page 4 + 5 and so on, since page 1 is the cover and the first double page to view is 2+3 when you open the book. How can this be achieved? I did not find an option to toggle this behavior.
Oddly enough, Acrobat 7 does exactly what I want: Show page 1 on the right side, continue with 2+3, 4+5 and so on, finishing with the last page on the left side. Haw can this be different from Adobe Reader?
If yopu have an idea how to manage Acrobat Reader to do the exact same thing, I'd be glad to hear about it.
Thanks for your help,
Lutz Benke, Germany

In Acrobat X Pro, I encounter the same problem. With no document opened, the preferred way to display is set to 'facing pages with cover', but every document opened for the first time, shows two first pages at once, even pages at the right. How do I get rid of the wrong preferences?
NB. I did not have this problem in earler versions of Acrobat. And some of my collegues (with same configurations and CS5) do not have this problem even: with them the preferred option (given in with no document opened) is executed when opening a document.

Double page view broken in acroread 8

If choosing the double page view (side by side view) in former versions of Acrobat Reader, it started the first page on the right side and showed two pages on subsequent pages. This corresponded to the typical case in books where the odd page is always on the right side.
In Acrobat Reader 8, this useful feature has been lost. Now, the odd page is on the left and the even page on the right. This does not correspond to my expectations. Is there a way to tell Acroread to open odd pages on the right side?
If not, please change the behaviour of acroread to the way it did until version 7.

> In Acrobat Reader 8, this useful feature has been lost.
No, the feature is available:
View > Page Display > Show Cover Page During Two-Up

Printing double page spreads

Hey,
I need to print double page spreads where a single image spans both pages.
And to complicate things I need to print on the Moab pre-drilled paper for my portfolio.
Outside of going into Photoshop and cutting the image in two and printing them out. Is there a way to do it in Lightroom?
Also is there a way to keep all of the pages with their layouts and images intact for a later time when I would want to print another portfolio?

I am assuming that your paper is as large as the double spread.
Here's how I would go about it:
(1) Add the paper size to the printer' list of paper sizes so that it is available for printing.
(2) In Lr select this paper size - in the Print Module left side at the bottom <Page Setup> button.
(3) Also necessary is an icc-profile for the Moab paper. If you don't have it, download it from Moab and install it on your system. It then should be available in Lr - Print Module, right side under "Color Management".
If the paper you are using is only as large as one half of the spread, you would have to cut the image in half as per your suggestion. In Lr you can do it the following way:
Crop the image exactly at the center so that you have only 1/2 of the image - let's say the left side. Create a virtual copy of that cropped image.
Go back to your original image and undo the cropping by going back in the history palette to the step before the crop. Now crop again but this time the right half. Create a virtual copy of that. You have now two virtual copies one representing the left side, one representing the right side. [Go back to your original and undo the cropping - you don't need it on the original]. Print both virtual copies.

In ibooks i want to open books to double page spread. How?

My books, even in landscape mode, only show one page at a time. I want to have double page spread. How do I do that?
Thanks, Tzipora

Well, everyone, I found two apps that open pdf's in landscape and turn pages. All that I want.
One is called PerfectReader. The other is Bookman. That solves that problem. Thanks for the help.

Exporting PDFs and maintaining double-page spread format

I've combined a large number of individual PDF files (created in InDesign) for print. Now I would like to create an iBook with these pages. I've created a PDF file for use on an iPad but how do I maintain the double-page spread format? I can view this successfully in Acrobat but not in iBooks. Can anyone help?
Thanks
F

This is best addressed in either an iBooks forum on the Apple website or InDesign. For use in iBooks you might be best off using a format other than pdf.
