How to Display correctly for left-opening pdf file

Post by tacoyaki »

Hello,
Please I want a help.

When open left-opening pdf file(e.g. Japanese novels) and facing-view mode,
displaying pages left and right are reversed.
Is PDF-X viewer not support left-opening viewing?

Thanks in advance.

Hello tacoyaki,

Can you please go to View -> Page Layout -> Show Cover page in Two Page View - and see if that helps?

Also - please download and try the Viewer's successor the PDF XChange Editor:
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product ... nge-editor
Where you can switch to ribbon page layout which might also be helpful.

Regards,
Stefan

Hello tacoyaki,

I understand now. It seems like your document has been scanned in the wrong page order in this case.

Please press Ctrl-J to open the JavaScript console and then copy paste this in there:

Code: Select all

for (i = 0; i < this.numPages; i+=2)
{
  this.movePage(i,i+1);
}
Then run the script. This will reorder the pages in your document so that each couple of pages have swapped.
(To be able to save that you will need a license for our Viewer/Editor)

Regards,
Stefan

Thank you for reply.
But I forgot to say an important thing, sorry. :(

I'm going to read purchased E-book(secured PDF file) using PDF-X viewer.
So, It can't be run Java script by secure setting in this file.
May I do it without using Java script?

By the way, Adobe reader(11.0.8 JPNver) can display correctly like a Image1.
But I like PDF-X viewer. :wink:

Hi Tacoyaki,

do I understand that this is actually a book read from right to left? Have you looked at how it reads in the Editor? I know you said you prefer the Viewer but the Editor has right to left support that the Viewer will never get. I'd be very interested in hearing how the Editor performs in this regard.

PS - you do realize your forum name makes me hungry, right?
Best regards
