Adobe reader- reading direction options
What does this option change? Scrolling direction on key presses? Please clarify exactly how Okular should work with this option enabled. This option gives the control over the order of pages when the view mode is facing pages (Center First page). I have attached two screen-shots one from adobe reader after enabling Reading direction Right to Left and the other from okular the current behavior. I tried to number the page in red to see what is changes. This feature is useful with RTL language and you want to read tow page in the same view or you want to preview you book before sending it to the printer. Created attachment 82675 [details]

Okular- the current reading direction (left to right)
Thanks for the update, swapping the two facing pages makes sense in RTL reading mode. Is there any reason the first page is centered in one of the screenshots but not on the other? (In reply to comment #7) > Is there any reason the first page is centered in one of the screenshots but > not on the other? Because the one who starts from left is adobe reader way. The other is the default okular way of reading. Silly me, one of them is Okular :D Sorry about the stupid question :D Confirming the thing, this doesn't mean it's going to be worked on, just that it makes sense.
