Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.0) Installed from: Unlisted Binary Package KPDF always shows PDFs like this: __ __ |1 | |2 | |__| |__| __ __ |3 | |4 | |__| |__| __ __ |5 | |6 | |__| |__| Whereas on the same file Acrobat would show them like this: __ |1 | |__| __ __ |2 | |3 | |__| |__| __ __ |4 | |5 | |__| |__| __ |6 | |__| For me, the Acrobat way makes more sense. Page 1 is the cover; when you open a book, the first page after the cover is usually on the left. In KPDF, the subsequent 'left' pages are on the right and vice versa. For PDFs laid out especially for 2-page layout (in TeX, OpenOffice etc) this can look pretty strange. If required, I can give an example file, but in my experience every PDF file created for two-page display shows these problems.
