I have a PDF file.

The pages display vertically, one after another, one at a time.

I would like the PDF to display 2 pages at a time, one page next to the other horizontally, like laying out a book flat.

Users can do this with a menu option in the PDF reader, but I would like the file to behave like that on its own, without any need for the user to do anything.

Is this possible?

One wrinkle, I am on Linux (Mint) which Adobe has forsaken. I can only use software available for Linux or a web utility.

Thanks either way.

Can I make a PDF file display like a book by default, without user input?
