Description Alex Pacini 2011-12-22 21:51:57 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

I'd like to have a new view mode that allows me to see the current page and the next page. This is particularly useful when the presentation mode with two screen is used.
In this way i can see the current slide on the presentation screen and i can advance myself by preparing the speech for the following one. Something similar to what provided on a Mac.

Reproducible: Didn't try



Expected Results:  
See two pages at a time. Current and the following one.

I found something similar to what I would like to see in Okular here: (https://code.google.com/p/open-pdf-presenter/).
In this way I can choose a view mode that allows me to see the current and the next slide and then I can set the presentation mode on the projector screen.

Thanks!

Alex, you might also want to check out pdfpc (http://davvil.github.io/pdfpc/). It seems to be more feature-rich. 

But I agree, I would love to see a similar functionality implemented in Okular.
