Question

Two page view option gone

Hi there,

I recently downloaded the Adobe Acrobat Reader on a new laptop that runs Windows 11.

You used to be able to go to 'view' and select 'two page view' in the reader. In this version, there is no 'View' option available and if you click on the display icon (an image of a page with 1:1 in the bottom right hand corner in default set-up) there's 'fit one full page, actual size' options but no two page option. I have also tried searching for 'view' and 'two page view' in the 'find text or tools' search bar, but no relevant results come up.

Please tell me I'm missing something and the two page view function is still there, as it was really useful for booklets.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @michal717777,

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

We are unable to understand the question/concern you are referring to. In Acrobat Reader Mobile for Android, there are three viewing modes that I could think of: Continuous reading, Single Page, and Reader Mode.

These are the views that have been there since the beginning. More info here: View PDFs — Acrobat for Android Help (adobe.com)

If this is not what you are looking for, please feel free to write back for further assistance.

I seem to remember the Cover and 2-Page Spread view in Android, but maybe
I’m mistaken. I see it works on my 2018 iPad Pro with a the most current
iOS, a 2010 MacBook Pro with a very old OS version 10.9.5

I’m little shocked that Adobe doesn’t bother keeping such a basic Acrobat
feature working on Android. But then the company really has gone downhill
over the past 10 years when it comes to stability and service. I was an
Adobe user since 1984 so I know what you were and what you’ve become.

I too use to use the 2-page view all the time. Please reinstate.

I agree wholeheartedly.

I detest the new interface, because I use the 2-page view constantly. Its absence will cause me to not recommend Adobe Reader until it is re-instated.

Hi All,

We appreciate your valuable feedback! We're always looking for ways to improve Acrobat, and we appreciate the time and effort you have taken to share your feedback. 

We acknowledge that the new Acrobat represents a notable change; however, we hope that as you get familiar with the new interface, you will be able to be more productive & get more out of Acrobat.

We are actively working on all the currently unavailable features, such as 'two pae view' and customizing these preferences. We will address them with the highest priority.

As you get more comfortable with the new interface, please contact us with specific questions on tools, features, or functionalities. We're happy to provide helpful resources and answers to your questions.

If your critical workflows are impacted, you can switch to the old UI from the "Menu" on the top left corner of Windows OS and View Menu on MacOS. We will follow up with a detailed community-featured post, guiding you to familiarise yourself with the new interface and regular updates on upcoming changes.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.

Do you not see the menu bar (File, Edit, View, etc.) at all or just the View menu?

Hi,
This is fine, but why the buttons disappeared from the panel? It was very handy and now you really have to alway go to the menü to reach them? I the previous version it was possible to customize this panel and add these options permanently.

You can disable the new UI.
