Brief title for your desired feature:
Double page view on reader for iOS and iPadOS
How would you like the feature to work?
Very simple - In 'View settings' under 'Single Page' have an option that says 'Double Page' with an option to have the cover page as a single page in two page view. That's a mouthful, so you could just say 'Cover page on its own' as a sub-option.
Why is this feature important to you?
- We've created a book publishable as either pdf or ePub. In trials, ePub is proving more problematic across platforms in terms of compatibility, so pdf is preferred. Except that because the book has certain images and maps spanning two pages, it doesn't work as a document viewable as single pages. Several thousand are being sent out (as well as physical copies), but because we can't get the double page spread on iOS to appear as a default, we are likely to have to go ePub, even though we would prefer PDF.
It's a very simple feature to add, that already exists on other mobile platforms. It really is a no brainer, I don't understand why it doesn't exist already? I've just signed up for a trial Adobe account, but am thinking of cancelling it unless I can get double pages to work by default on iOS. I can get it to work on a Mac desktop, but that isn't sufficient for the way people consume media today.
- In business and study, iPads and iPhones are becoming ubiquitous, and I can see from this thread that it's not just me this would be important for!
