Explains how to correctly display right-to-left (RTL) PDF content when using Facing or Continuous Facing page layout mode in Foxit software.

Answer

Description

When you opened a PDF file which have right-to-left (RTF) texts (e.g. Arabic, Hebrew, etc.), clicked on Facing

or Continuous Facing button in Page Display group under View tab in Foxit Reader to view pages side-by-side, its pages display order came out as:

Page1|Page2

Page3|Page4

Page5|Page6

However, Texts in RTF PDF files are from right to left which should be displayed like the following pages display order:

Page2|Page1

Page4|Page3

Page6|Page5

Solution

To switch the sides of display when viewing PDF file with facing display mode, please go to File tab>Preferences>Languages, select Right to Left from the Default Reading Direction dropdown list, click on OK button to apply the setting. Then you will find that PDF pages are displayed in right to left direction under Facing or Continuous Facing mode.
