initial view 2-up spreads with single cover page

I hope I have this wrong and i'm missing something obvious but elusive: It seems like there is no way in the newest version of Acrobat to modify a generated multi-page PDF via preferences>page display so that on initial view it will show as spreads and also have a single cover page. Is that correct? Is this yet another one of those Adobe modifications that makes a graphic designer want to bang his head on the monitor? Or is there a workaround? I would be most grateful for some wisdom as I'm coming up empty with forum searches.

Hi again ej 5000,

Your screen shot shows the application preferences, but you should see what you're looking for in the Document Properties dialog box. So, when the file is open, choose File > Properties, and click the Initial View tab. Two-Up (Cover Page) is available in the Page Layout pop-up menu.

Is that what you need?

Best,

Sara

Hi ej 5000,

There is a Two-up (Cover) option here: File > Properties > Initial View > Page Layout. Is that what you're looking for?

Best,

Sara

HI Sara.

I wish. That option isn't available in Acrobat Pro X. It was in previous versions. And the straight "Two-up" creates only page spreads and makes the opening single page into a page spread with the following page, messing up the display of the pagination completely. I need this option to show clients how their book will look as page spreads instead of them guessing how it will look if i only show them single pages. Thank you for replying. Any more ideas and i'm all ears.
