Suggestion: New view mode

I have a suggestion for your excellent PDF Viewer. Currently it's possible to view a PDF document

1) Single Page
2) Continuous
3) Continuous-Facing
4) Facing

Sometimes I get documents where two pages belong together and I want two see them at once (useful especially for widescreen displays). The problem is that currently only page with odd page number followed by a page with even page number can be viewed at once.

Here is my idea: Introduce a view mode which is similar to a book. Browsing a document works only from left to right (or vica versa). In consequence there is only a horizontal scrollbar for this new mode. It should work continuously.


An alternative could be to introduce an option to forward only one page when browsing a document in facing mode. Example: Pages 7 and 8 are shown. User presses next page button. Pages 8 and 9 are shown.


What do you think? Thanks in adavance!

It sounds that you are wanting a view option that currently exists in Microsoft Word 2003, called "Read" view. I haven't a clue what it would take to code such a feature, but I can say that I really like reading, especially lengthy documents in Word, using this view. Good idea!

I just installed Word Viewer 2003 to test the "read mode layout" view mode but couldn't setup the way I imagine it. It works exactly like the already existing "Facing" mode in Foxit for me. Any ideas?
