Hi Walter,
Thanks for your response. I have actually already edited the pdf in acrobat prior to uploading to dropbox. I set the pdf document properties so that the default view was Two-Page rather than single page and resaved it locally. I then uploaded it to dropbox, but noticed that the page display setting does not seem to have any affect on the way that dropbox previews the pdf. It's unfortunate since that's the kind of preview setting that one would like to be able to control--especially for pdfs that are formatted to be printed as books (my case) and so captions often appear on the facing page.

Hello Walter,
I am having the same issue, it's such a pity that you don't share solutions on the forum but email privately.
Can you kindly advise on the way to view already set as two facing pages pdfs?
Thanks

Sorry about this imuf; at the moment, we don't currently support Two Page View in Preview, however we are always looking for user input regarding our website and its features so I will make sure your comments are passed along to our development team.
Let me know if there's anything else I can assist with in the meantime please.
