In both Windows and macOS, launch Acrobat and head to Edit > Preferences in the app’s toolbar (Windows) or menu bar (Mac). Thankfully, there’s an easy way to fix this frustration: you can change your default view in Acrobat’s settings. No matter how many times I change my view to the “two page” mode, Acrobat always reverts back to its default “single page view” the next time I launch the app or open a new PDF.
But what’s frustrating is that Acrobat’s default view type is a single scrolling page.
I read a lot of PDFs in Adobe Acrobat, and my preferred reading view is the “two page view,” with two pages side-by-side.
