TwoPageLeft/Right vs TwoColumnLeft/Right

twantzen
Mike,

in http://www.princexml.com/forum/topic/1734/open-pdf-as-continuous-facing you explained:
»In PDF-1.4 there are "TwoColumnLeft" and "TwoColumnRight" values for the /PageLayout key, and in PDF-1.5 they added aliases for these "TwoPageLeft" and "TwoPageRight" that otherwise behave identically.«

Are you sure, that TwoPageLeft/Right are aliases? In Acrobat there is a »continuous double page« mode (which I think is the TwoColumn mode) and a »single double page mode« (which I think is the TwoPage mode).

I tried
@prince-pdf {
    prince-pdf-page-layout: two-column-right;
}

and it works great. But the PDFs open in »continuous double page« mode. I'd like them to open in »single double page« mode. How can I achieve this? Respectively: Please integrate this feature into Prince.

Thanks
Tobias

You are right, it looks like I misinterpreted this back in 2011, or I was using PDF viewer with different behaviour then. We will investigate this for the next release of Prince, thanks for letting us know. :)

Thanks for your answer. The two page modes will fit nicely into the existing code:
@prince-pdf {
    prince-pdf-page-layout: two-column-left;
    prince-pdf-page-layout: two-column-right;
    prince-pdf-page-layout: two-page-left;
    prince-pdf-page-layout: two-page-right;
}

I'm looking forward to find them in the next release ...

Prince 10 rev 3 is now available, and includes these two new values. :D
