There's an almost 6 year old question about this (Two-page view in full screen for Adobe Acrobat) that I came across while searching for a solution.

In Acrobat Reader DC (version 2015.020.20042) on a Windows 10 machine.
I click on
View | Page Display | Two Page View
and the page look great. But the moment I click on full screen I have a single page filling up the middle of my screen with massive amounts of emptiness on both sides.

Thinking that the problem was the new reader, I uninstalled Acrobat Reader DC and installed (downgraded to?) Adobe Reader XI and still had the same problem. Two pages viewed nicely in "windowed" mode, but the moment I went to full screen I had only a single page showing at a time.

To summarize, I'm on Win 10, I've tried both ARDC and ARXI and both refuse to show 2 pages in full screen mode.

Does anyone have a solution to this? I swear that sometime in the past, I was able to view 2 pages in full screen mode.

The behavior you encounter is absolutely normal.

Full screen means that a single page is displayed, fitting on the full screen, with a "neutral" background.

Possible workarounds:

• In the document properties deactivate all the window controls in the display options. This will allow for displaying two pages, but you won't have the neutral background.

• "Refry" the document (send through a printer (driver) to create a new PDF, while setting the 2 pages on a sheet option in the printer settings. The result is another single page which can be displayed full screen, but it contains two former pages. However, with this procedure, you will lose a lot of sometimes very important information of the document, such as annotations, links, fields, structure etc.

Credit to DrZoo, I did miss this step: I now have a 2 page full screen view on Acrobat Reader XI - Thank you.


Did you actually follow all of the steps in the answer you linked? It seems like you did one step, but not the other. I just modified by settings and it worked perfectly fine. I think you missed this one Then, change your fullscreen preferences: edit->preferences->full screen->fill screen with one page at a time (uncheck) – DrZoo Dec 30 '16 at 19:50
