Feature Request

[magnanimous]

When viewing a PDF in two page Facing mode, there is a gap between and around the pages. I want to elimate this space to maximize the size of the pages. Foxit Reader has this ability through an option called Custom Margin.

Hi magnanimous,

PDF-XChange Viewer already has this feature. With 2 page facing selected simply go to View --> Page Layout --> and uncheck Show Gaps Between Pages.

Thanks! That helps. There is still a gap around the outside, but maybe you can make that disappear in a future release.

Hi again magnanimous,

I have pointed out your post to the Lead developer of the Viewer. If anything can be done in future he's the one to do it. This is not a promise to deliver the feature but more a notification that your request has been noted.

Sincerely

[magnanimous]

Thank you!

I just replaced Adobe Reader with PDF-XChange Viewer. I am very happy with the switch.

I was going to make this request myself before I found this thread. I also want to request the closing of the outer gap. I have a small low resolution display so I can't afford to waste a single pixel.

Thanks to the Tracker development team for the great software!

Hello Ken Robbins,

And welcome to our forums. While I can understand that each and every pixel matters on a smaller screen with the gap between pages deactivated, the total horizontal space "wasted" is 6 pixels - 4 on the left and two on the right of the page.
And if you switch to full screen mode -you will utilize even those 6 pixels extra.

The vertical is another matter, but I believe that you will find several topics on the subject, and disabling some/all of the toolbars and e.g. creating your own custom ones, as well as setting up shortcut keys for the commands you most commonly use, and you will be able to use 100% of the screen for viewing the file, without this impacting your editing capabilities.

Best,
Stefan
