Hi I have created a PDF which when I open on a mobile phone device in shows all the pages (they have to be set up as spreads) and I need to show each page spread without the others. So each page is the only thing you see on the screen?

    PDF on mobile devices still lags years (or should I say decades?) behind of what you can do on the desktop. The biggest probem is that when you say "on a mobile phone", nobody knows what's going on, because there are so many different PDF viewers out there that all behave differently. What you have on e.g. an Android device is completey different to what the default viewer on an iPhone does and that is different from what a 3rd party viewer installed on an iPad does and so on. There is no way you can configure your PDF file to show up correctly on all mobile PDF viewers. You would have to target one specific viewer and see if that supports the way you want to display the PDF file and then go from there.
