PDF Two-Page View

I need to upload a PDF that is designed to be viewed in two-page view.

Is there a way to edit the Canvas PDF viewer so that the document appears in two-page view, rather than single page view?

Attaching a photo of what this view looks like in Adobe. Is the only way to replicate this in Canvas to have it display as .jpgs? These files need to be PDFs.

Hi @NYBG ,

There may be a way to do this in Canvas that I'm not aware of, but I would actually make this adjustment in the original PDF file. If you have Adobe Reader, you can go to the Print settings and adjust the printout to the 2-page view you desire, then save the document as a PDF (a new PDF file) instead of sending it to a printer. Then upload THAT file to Canvas, and it will already be in the format you desire. (I'm not sure what program you're using that is shown in your attached image; that program may have a similar ability.)
