[Tex/LaTex] How to display cover page alone in the “two page view” mode

double-sidedmemoirpdf

For some pdf ebooks, Adobe Reader displays the cover page alone even though the display mode is "two page view". Other than the cover page, the rest of the pdf content is displayed as two pages at once, which is expected in the "two page view" mode.

My question is: Is it possible to enforce this behavior if I use pdflatex, and if so, how could I achieve that? The document class I'm using is memoir.

Best Answer

\usepackage[pdfpagelayout=TwoPageRight]{hyperref}

If you cannot use hyperref for some reason, use \pdfcatalog{/PageLayout /TwoPageRight}.

Adobe Reader will only pay attention to this setting if in preferences, on the "Page Display" tab you set the "default layout and zoom" to have "Page layout: Automatic".

This is what it looks like in an MWE:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage[pdfpagelayout=TwoPageRight]{hyperref}
\author{Me}
\title{This}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\Blinddocument
\end{document}
