Reading PDF Issue

Post by BobH »

I recently downloaded an e-book on javascript (Thanks, Joe!) The book is a PDF format. I read PDFs with Firefox, as a rule; but this one is in a format I'd like to change.

The UI presentation mimics an actual book in that it displays a page on the left of the screen with the next page on the right of the screen. Scrolling down, the next page is on the left and the next after that is on the right. While this is a norm for a real book, I find it annoying in a PDF preferring to read a single page completely and scrolling down for succeeding pages.

I downloaded Foxit PDF reader. In that app I can display the book in 'screen mode' but cannot display it that way in Firefox.

I suspect it's an operator head space, aka iD10T, problem.

Can anyone suggest how to display the PDF in 'screen mode' instead of 'book mode?'

:cheers: :chocciebar: :thankyou:

I don't think Firefox has this feature.
Best wishes,
Hans

Thanks, Hans.

I was beginning to question my sanity. I'm getting along with Foxit for now.
