PDF view: turn half pages

[HeinziTuberkel]

Hi,
does the PDF-XChange Viewer or Editor in any version offer the possibility of turning HALF pages?
If not, I would want to add it to some wish list, if one exists.

Description of my wish (assuming the function is NOT already part of PDF-XChange):

I use PDF-XChange to read music sheets (among other). On my Android Tablet I use "Mobile Sheets" to read PDF music sheets and it has the feature of turning half pages to enable continuous reading:

Pressing PgDn once inserts a horizontal split bar and replaces the top half the current page with the top half of the next page. Pressing PgDn again shows the lower half of the next page and removes the split bar.
The same way pressing PgUp once shows the lower half of the previous page. The next press of PgUp then shows the upper half of the previous page.
If the PDF is shown in scroll mode, a function for "half page down/up" thath scrolls by half a screen height could do something similar.

I would love to have such a function in PDF-XChange.
I have bought the version 6 of PDF XChange some years ago and this feature would be one for me to buy the newest version.

Hi, HeinziTuberkel

Thank you for the suggestion and my apologies for the delay, I needed to confer with one of my colleagues on the sales team who frequently reads sheet music to properly understand what you meant. To be sure I actually do understand clearly, Please tell me if I am correct?
In essence, you want something like this to occur:

You have 3 pages in a document, effectively split into 2 regions each (top and bottom), so it would look like this
page1: top=1 bottom=2
page2: top=3 bottom=4
page3: top=5 bottom=6
Then when reading you would initially see page 1
1
2
And when you click next, the top half would grab from page 2, so now you see,
3
2
Clicking next again would then gove you the bottom of page 2, so you see,
3
4
and yet another next page would give the beginning of page 3,
5
4
If at this point I were to hit the back button, the top would change back to to the top of page 2, like so:
3
4
and so on reversing the process in a mirror.
Is that correct?

Hi Daniel,
thanks for your reply - don't mind the delay, I'm not in a hurry

I think, you've got it right, but this time I am not sure, if I understand You right

To make it clear, I have made a screen video and uploaded it here:

Hi, HeinziTuberkel

It seems we do understand each other. I will bring this up to the Dev team, and prompt a discussion on the topic. While I cannot currently promise implementation, I can say that it will be considered.

Kind regards,
