First page is shifted

[TatianaS]

hello,
I am trying to apply user setting of document layout using Pages.Layout. However, I noticed that when layout is Facing or Continuous Facing and when document has even number of pages ( 3 or more) first page will be shifted to the right. Comparing with your viewer app, this doesn't happen, only if I am using API.

Are there any other settings I need to set to make it no to shift?

Thanks,
Tatiana

Hi Tatiana,

Can you please try executing command 36353 (Show Cover Page in Facing Mode) and see if that will help?

Regards,

Tried fCoPDFXCview.DoVerb('', 'ExecuteCommand', '#36353', dataOut, 0)
but it didn't work, saying that is is unknown command.

So, this are the steps:
1. I set Layout to Facing via API
2. Document (with 3 or more pages and even number of pages) shown with first page shifted
3. I click on Continues button (or any other document layout)
4. I click on Facing button
Result: first page is not shifted anymore

So why is that only after I run fCoPDFXCview.SetDocumentProperty(activeDocID, 'Pages.Layout','6', 0);
(set to Facing layout) the first page is shifted? Please Help....

Hi Tatiana,

This is the end user UI command and should have worked.

Anyway - you should be able to do the following
SetProperty("Documents[#4095].ShowCoverPageInFacing", 1);
