Solved Viewing pages side by side (from a single PDF)?

[unko]

Hello,

I use the app PDF-XChange Viewer and i couldn't find the option for what i need, maybe i didn't see it?

I want to show two pages side by side (same document) since i'm on a 16/9 laptop, it'd be much better...

If that app doesn't do it, then i guess there must be another free one that does it, and hopefully you'll know?

Thanks.

Hi there .. Read the Link below

Thanks but i've already seen this and it's not what i need (i want two pages displayed side by side, same document and same instance of the app).

Hi there .. So this does not work ?

To view 2 instances of the same document side by side:
Allow multiple instances of the PDF-XChange Viewer Application:
Edit --> Preferences --> General --> Application --> Allow Multiple Instances
Click Apply --> OK
Open a new instance of the viewer by using a PDF-XChange Viewer Start Menu or Desktop shortcut.
Selecting the document from the recent list using the Open tool.
OR if you have PDF-XChange Viewer set as your system default PDF Viewing application you can open the file directly from it's location by double clicking on it.

I would try Nitro Reader then

Ok i'll have a look, if anyone else got recommendations, let me know!

Open the document then click 'Save As' and save it with a suffix (2 for example) then you should be able to open both (the original and the newly saved one with the suffix) side by side as they're named differently.

It seems that people answer without fully reading original question 90% of the time.

Ah yes, I see. It seems that people who are misunderstood have a blatant lack of manners too.

Being misunderstood while writing correctly create a lack of patience which leads to lack of manners

Hi there .. How did Nitro work out for you

 

[unko]

I didn't have the time to try yet but i'll let you know.

PS: It doesn't have good comment.. Ad-Aware and else..

 

[maxie]

Yes please keep us informed

Actually i tried a portable version and while installing it i already get antivirus warning...

You're going to tell me many portable version contains virus, etc.. But no, this is from safe place.

Anyways, i'm going to try get it elsewhere but would you mind telling me already how will i get to that result?

 

[maxie]

Hi there .. Where did you download it from .. Also what AV software are you using

 

[unko]

I use Antivir but i always make a scan on virustotal and when Kaspersky report it positive, then it means it's really something..! I don't think i can quote that website publically here.

 

[maxie]

Hi there ... Always use the Manufactures website .. I do not use Nitro myself but it comes highly recommended on here lots of the Gurus use it

to clarify,
you want to open a pdf that has multiple pages within the pdf file and see them side by side as you would when reading a book or magazine.
adobe reader has the ability to read pages side by side.
i think you threw some confusion in when calling it a single pdf.

 

[unko]

Hmm i don't see which confusion it could generate. Yes it's a single PDF file, meaning only one... I've never ever seen a PDF with a single page by the way. And in that case i wouldn't ask to view page side by side anyways... What i want is not necessary ALL pages side by side, like a book, but maybe just 2, like Microsoft WORD let you do. I know Acrobat does that but... I prefer light weight apps..
