Is there a way to display two pages side by side at 100% View?

Just to clarify: That's two consecutive pages of the same document.

Sure, but there are at least 3 variables involved:

1- What size are the pages?
2- What size is the display?
3- What is the resolution?

You can't display two 8.5x11 pages side by side at 100% of actual size on a
17" display at 800x600 ppi, for example. If you have the luxury of a display
that's 20" plus it's a different story.

One footnote: The Zoom of 100% doesn't mean actual page dimensions (i.e.,
print dimensions). It means that the pixels of the content are displayed 1:1
with the pixels of the monitor.

I'm asking on behalf of a friend so I don't have *all* the info.

Pages are 8.5 x 11 (text only)

Display is > 20"

Resolution unknown.

Then just have your friend select "Two Pages" from the Zoom box. If
necessary adjust the window size and/or use View> Full Screen. I haven't
done the math but that should be sufficient based on the typical
resolution... I use a 17" @ 1280x1024 which doesn't provide enough vertical
real estate (about 10.75" total viewable area).

I really need to see two pages (so I can see long sections) side-by-side in one screen. I don't like how Word only seems to do this at 75%. I want to see it at 100% at least. I KNOW There is a way to do this--because I did it by accident one day, or it just seemed to work. However, I obviously didn't fix it permanently.

I just got a new 22 inch monitor but I'm hardly using it's capacity. And annoyingly, there is enough "extra" room to fit in the edges of the page -- that grey bit. Why can't I get rid of the grey bit and just make the 2 pages appear at 90%??

Someone please help! FOR SURE there is a way to do this! I just can't seem to find helpful instructions online.

=================================================

I understand it's an old post but just posting because it's been solved here yet..

you mean two different documents or just two pages?
If you wanna see two pages at once, on the top ribbon there's a lil box with a percentage, and a dropdown arrow to the right of it, you click on the arrow and one of the options include "two pages".

You can open the console and put in the following javascript to force the 2 pages

var newWidth = document.getElementsByClassName('kix-zoomdocumentplugin-outer')[0].style.width.replace('px','') *2 +10 +'px';
document.getElementsByClassName("kix-paginateddocumentplugin")[0].style.width = newWidth;
var pages = document.getElementsByClassName("kix-page");

for (var i = 0; i < pages.length; i++) {
if(i==0) {
pages[0].parentNode.width = newWidth;
}
pages[i].style.float = "left";
}

The code above doesn't work anymore.
Also, there's no more "two pages" zoom view.

From what I understand it is likely that the code above is referring to elements that don't exist anymore. Classes have been renamed or removed.
