USING ACROBAT X STANDARD
Workspace
Last updated 10/11/2011
If a document has more than two pages, you can ensure that the first page appears alone on the right side of the
document pane. Select either Two Page View or Two Page Scrolling. Also select View > Page Display > Show Cover
Page In Two Page View.
Single Page View, Enable Scrolling, Two Page View, Two Page Scrolling layouts
Set the page layout of an open PDF
• To see only one page at a time, choose View > Page Display > Single Page View.
• To see two pages at a time, side by side, choose View > Page Display > Two Page View.
• To scroll down continuously through one page after another, choose View > Page Display > Enable Scrolling.
• To scroll down continuously through two pages at a time, choose View > Page Display > Two Page Scrolling.
• To display the first page of a multipage document alone on the right side, first specify either the Two Page View or
Two Page Scrolling option. Then choose View > Page Display > Show Cover Page In Two Page View.
You can also display buttons for each of these options in the Quick Tools toolbar by choosing View > > Show/Hide >
Toolbar Items > Page Display, and selecting them in the menu.
Note: In Single Page View, choosing Edit > Select All selects all text on the current page. In other layouts, Select All selects
all text in the PDF.
Rotate the page view
You can change the view of a page in 90° increments. This changes the view of the page, not its actual orientation.
• To temporarily rotate the page view, choose View > Rotate View > Clockwise or Counterclockwise. You can’t save
this change.
• To save the rotation with the document, click the Rotate Page button in the Quick Tools toolbar, or choose
Tools > Pages > Rotate.
Change the default page layout (initial view)
You specify the default initial view settings in the Preferences dialog box. (See “Set preferences” on page 10.)
1 In the Preferences dialog box under Categories, select Page Display.
2 Open the Page Layout menu and choose Automatic, Single Page, Single Page Continuous, Two-Up, or Two-Up
Continuous.
Note: The PDF opens with the page layout specified in Preferences unless a different page layout is specified in Document
Properties (File > Properties > Initial View). The Document Properties setting overrides the Preferences setting. If using
Document Properties, be sure to save and close the document for the change to take effect. Acrobat users can change the
initial view, unless security settings prevent changes. Reader users cannot change the initial view.
