Options

Binding - Sets the order to display the pages in Facing or Cover view modes.

  • Left Edge: For documents that read from Left to Right (i.e. English, French, etc...)
  • Right Edge: For documents that read from Right to Left (Arabic, Hebrew, etc...)

Note: This does not affect page order in the thumbnails pane.

Note: If the language doesn't appear in the drop-down list, you can enter the ISO 639 code for the language in the Language field.
