Preview – Two Pages
Posted November 25th, 2004 @ 01:09am by Erik J. Barzeski
It sure would be nice if Preview could be set to display facing pages. Or just two pages, side by side.
I regularly zoom to 130% - that fits a full page, with the toolbar (icons + text) on the height of my 23" display, but it leaves plenty of room. Hitting page down every page is annoying - why can't I view two pages side by side?
Preview isn't even scriptable, so I can't even open the same PDF twice, arrange the windows, set the left page to an odd numbered page and the right to an even number, and - via AppleScript and my programmable mouse, make them scroll down two pages apiece when I click my "page down" button.
Harumph.

I am annoyed that I have to click the + button and make the window bigger every fricken time I use preview. I wish it would remember my settings.

Dustin, you can set your default zoom settings in the preferences.

Bug reports and feature enhancements to Apple (free ADC login required). Much better than the various Product Feedback pages; with bugreport.apple.com, you can track the progress and devs can ask you questions.

I assure y'all that, as a guy with an @apple.com email address, I've filed the appropriate bug reports.
