When I show a document using full screen (or slideshow) in Preview, it shows two pages at a time. I just want to show one at a time, but can't find anything that lets me specify this. There is no relevant Preference that I can see, and if I check single page in view and then choose full screen or slideshow in view, the first page is displayed fine, but then subsequent pages are displayed two up.
To use full screen, as the question imply, you first open “the full screen”, then press cmd +1 to view a single page; when the single page is in place, (if it is not working, go back and select manually “continuous scrolling” after you opened the full screen mode) you read the entire document in single page mode without adjusting every time you move to the next page. It works for me!
preview> view> single page or
simply press - command+3
Actually, you can view single page in full-screen. It's just that (annoyingly) you have to request it again after going to full screen.
Alas, it doesn't seem to work for slideshow. That appears to be a bug, which I've just reported to Apple at their feedback page.
Hi, Eric,
Thanks. It looks like I didn't quite make my question clear enough, though.
I want to show a multi-page document one page at a time. If I open it and choose "full screen" in view, I get the first page showing just fine. But if I then use the arrow to go to the second page, Preview shows two pages (#2 and 3), and then continues to show the rest of the document two pages at a time when I advance using the arrow.
I want to show one page at a time, and be able to advance to the next page using the arrow.
Can I do this in Preview?
Thanks,
Russ
Try Preview/View/Thumbnails and select the page you want.
