Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.2) Installed from: Mandrake RPMs In two pages mode, it's often more useful show the first page at right, with no page at left, in order to be like a book. Sometimes it's useful the actual mode, so I think is better add a option to choose the mode to use.
On TODO list. Already requested by Mikolaj Machowski. Thanks for your input, it raises feature priority :-)
CVS commit by eros: PageView: Added the frequently requested option for eBook style alignment. Better layouting in continous (center single pages, no more top aligned) and single modes. Layouting very consistant when switching modes. Proper keys and mouse handling in multiple columns modes. Start in 'Fit Page' zoom. DlgGeneral KCFG: Added the "Center first page in facing mode" and config menu entry. ToDo: Marked 100341 as done.

Should this be a selectable option, or is it a feature of the PDF if even/odd pages go on the left/right? For example, goto this file: http://www2.umassd.edu/SWPI/xp/papers/r1064.pdf This is designed to be displayed in two pages, starting on the left (you can tell because the page numbers should always be on the outside edge when printing). How does this open in Acrobat - does it "know" from information in the file which side to start the layout on? If this information is stored in the PDF file, it would be easier for the user if the right mode was used automatically, without them having to select it.

This feature is already full implemented (on branch/kpdf/annotations), along with some nice layout improvements. Of course it is selectable. I really don't use it, but if people wants that option, there it is ^_^.

How to enable double page view to have ODD pages on right and EVEN pages on left, it is: 1 2-3 4-5 6-7 I cannot find option for it. Now in double page mode I have: 1-2 3-4 5-6 I use KPDF 0.5 from rpm (Suse 10.0)
You see this bug marked as fixed? No, right? So this is not in kpdf 0.5.
Right, I can see bug status NEW. But in comment #5 Enrico says: >This feature is already full implemented (on branch/kpdf/annotations), along >with some nice layout improvements. Of course it is selectable. I really >don't use it, but if people wants that option, there it is ^_^. How do I undarstand it? Is it implemented or not and in which version?
The branch is a subversion branch (KDE uses subversion to maintain the code). This means it isn't in the ordinary releases (which come from the subversion trunc or tagged versions) for whatever reason, probably because it is experimental, unstable, new, or if the author isn't sure it is needed. Perhaps the branch will one day be merged into the trunc, in which case it'd be part of future normal releases. I don't know what this would involve, or if it is planned to be done.
Thank you very much, now I understand it. I think that it is possible to download newest code from subversion server and then to compile it from source. But how to do it and what is the server address.
It would be nice if this important feature made its way to the main release of KPDF. Thanks for all your hard work.

Does anyone now, when this will be a regular feature? Its very important!!
Heh, this bug is dated 2005-02-26 23:16, has 260 votes and still has status NEW.
Who told you voting will make someone do it? It's only a suggestion to the developer. The only way you can be sure it will be done is doing it yourself or paying someone (if it does not get done you can always sue) By the way, this is sort of done in Okular, KDE 4 successor of KPDF.
> By the way, this is sort of done in Okular, KDE 4 successor of KPDF. I use Okular compiled from the current trunk as of today, and there it is not done. The title/first page of a document is on the left in "View Mode > Facing Pages", whereas it should be on the right to match the appearance of a real book. This is especially annoying if you have margins of different sizes.
> I use Okular compiled from the current trunk as of today, and there it is not done. This is definitely done in Okular; activate the "Center the first page" in the General settings (see bug #152708).
Hi Pino, my bad, you're right. To me the option name sounds a bit strange and I'd enable it by default (who wants to see his document different than how it looks when it's printed?!?), but it's there, and that is what counts. :-)
KPDF is no longer under development so i'm closing this bug as WONTFIX As stated okular already supports this feature so if you upgrade to KDE 4 (you should) you'll have it working. If you feel something is missing in okular please open a new bug report against it.
Okular does have proper support for facing pages, though enabling it is pretty awkward. See Bug 152708.
