Two page view for thumbnails

Post by igorlima »

Hello! I have a pdf with a lot of two pages images so I have to select the option to view pages in "Two Pages". It would be nice to be able to set the thumbnails to reflect the way I'm seeing the pages, as see thumbnails in two pages mode too.

Hello igorlima,

The Thumbnails pane assigns a square area for each thumb - as the PDF specification allows the same file to have a mix of portrait and landscape pages, so we need to have reserved the area before we generate the thumb.

As such - I am afraid that this is not likely to change and the thumbnails pane to be able to show the two pages exactly as you see them in the main area, however you should be able to "merge" pages, and then the resulting merge will be only one page and it's thumb will show it accordingly.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Agree, Stefan.

The Merge Pages function is so, so useful.
