Dear list,

When one uses PDFKit and PDFView to display a pdf, there are built-in view 
settings one can access (right-click context menu) for setting "Two Pages", 
"Two Page Continuous" etc. On Preview.app, you only get View->Single Page or 
View->Two Pages.

The issue I have is that given a PDF created in LaTeX to display correctly when 
bound as a book, PDFView and Preview have different behaviour for "Two Pages". 

(The LaTeX setting is 
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,fleqn,twosides,titlepage]{book})

Preview nicely shows the cover page as single and then subsequent pairs of 
pages side-by-side, like this

1
2 3
4 5
6 7

Whereas PDFView shows

1 2
3 4
5 6

which is kind of wrong.

Does anyone know how to replicate the Preview behaviour? It somehow is able to 
tell from the PDF that the first page is expected to have a blank rear side. Is 
this a hidden pdf attribute?

Interestingly, Acrobat (at least version 10) can replicate both behaviours via 
the View->Page Display->Show Cover Page menu.

Anyone had any experience with this?

Best wishes,

Martin
