Bug Description

When I opened a PDF in Document Viewer, and then set the view mode to "dual", I noticed how the pdf application put the first page on the right side, which does not look as good as putting the page on the left side and page 2 on the right side.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the attached PDF in Document Viewer
2. Set the view to Dual
3. Notice the odd number page is to the right when it should be to the left by default.

Thank you for your bug report, in the popdown menu there is an option 'odd numbered pages on the left', did you try to enable it?
