Right To Left documents #828

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

Thanks for this perfect reader.

When a PDF is displayed in twin pages mode the first page is on the left while 
the second page is on the right which is OK in Left To Right languages, but, as 
you may know, there are some languages (like Hebrew & Arabic) are written from 
Right To Left (or as the call it RTL) which means that the first page has to be 
on the right while the second on the left to read the book properly.

So, may you please add an option to display the documents RTL.

Thanks a lot.

Hi. I would like to suggest the following on development team if you will 
address the above issue:

If you address the following issue you will have 2 RTL options: one for twin 
pages & other for split pages (split pages right to left). In this case I see 
that it will be better to merge the 2 RTL options into single UNITED RTL 
option. I suggest on you to create new option "change reading direction" from 
which user can select either RTL or LTR direction for reading. If he or she 
select RTL then split page it will be RTL & twin pages will be also RTL. And 
any NEW option for RTL (like flipping of pages if you will add in the future 
you should include it in the new option "change reading direction". It will be 
much better in this case.

Best

OK. Can you summarize all options needed to switch for RTL reading mode?

Thanks for your prompt reply.

For RTL option:

1- In Split mode or Twin pages mode: The first page is displayed on the right 
while the second page is on the left.
2- Inverting the way of navigation for all display modes (except vertical & 
single): While LTR (left to right) touching the right side of the screen 
displays the next page and the left side displays the previous page. In RTL 
(right to left) the opposite occurs touching the left side of the screen 
displays the next page while the right side displays the previous page.

Thank you very much

In rendering, then under "Document view mode" take the option "single page 
mode" & select "Page transition" then chose what you like from "simple curler" 
or other .....
