For certain PDFs with graphics split over two pages, it is best to view them side-by-side.
Apple's Preview app lets me view two pages side-by-side. This is great!
The only problem is that it's off by one page. For example, if the intended view is the following:
___________________
| Banner T|ext Here |
| | |
| 34 | 35 |
| | |
|_________|___ _____|
what Preview shows is this:
___________________
| | Banner T|
| | |
| 33 | 34 |
| | |
|_________|___ _____|
<followed by>
___________________
|ext Here | |
| | |
| 35 | 36 |
| | |
|_________|___ _____|
I realize that Apple's choice for Two Page viewing mode is probably optimal for many (most?) situations, but not for mine.
Is there a way to change this behavior–preferably on a per-document basis, but even via an obscure setting somewhere?
(In Windows, Adobe Acrobat displays the pages "correctly". I realize I could just download Adobe Acrobat for Mac, but I'm curious if this can be done in Preview.)

A simple solution is add a blank page next to the first page of the document. So it shifts all pages. Use it from
