Hi,
Is there a way I can make the PDF always open so that it displays as 2-page-continuous-facing?

Also, is there a way you can make the first page either a left or right page?
Thanks!

Currently this is not possible. But just for you, we will add this to Prince 8.0:

@prince-pdf {
    prince-pdf-page-layout: two-column
}

So it will be in the next release, due out shortly.

Wow, thanks!

should that be two-page rather than two-column?

In PDF-1.4 there are "TwoColumnLeft" and "TwoColumnRight" values for the /PageLayout key, and in PDF-1.5 they added aliases for these "TwoPageLeft" and "TwoPageRight" that otherwise behave identically.

We have now released Prince 8.0, which includes a prince-pdf-page-layout property for this purpose.

Note: it seems I was wrong about these values being aliases, as covered in this thread.
