In View menu, Show>Multiple Pages. Or on my Mac, the shortcut is
command-/
The infuriating thing about this, though (which is why I never use
it) is that you still can ONLY edit the page that is showing the
number in the lower scroll bar to the left. You can click on the page
2 all you like, but you can't actually DO anything to it until you
page down. It's like a ghost page, maybe for comparison purposes only.
If you want to edit BOTH pages alternately, then open up a second
instance of the window (Window menu, right beside the Tool menu, and
select New Window.) You will have two windows of the same document
open, and edits in one will appear in the other, and you can have
them set to different views. I DO use this quite a bit. On Mac you
can toggle between the two windows with Command-` (that's the tilde
key below the Esc key.) I don't know the equivalent Windows command.
