Hi,

And first thanks for a very useful tool that I am using constantly !

One extremely nice feature is auto-cropping (cmd-K) that removes the 
margins for continuous on-screen reading - but sometimes one finds 
documents typeset using two columns. Then auto-cropping still works, but 
obviously one then has to go back up to read the second column of a page 
...

Is there a way to detect such documents and somehow split every page 
into its two columns, to be displayed one on top of the other ?

There should be no fundamental obstruction, as this can be emulated by 
duplicating each page and then cropping alternatively down to the left- 
and right-hand column. It can even be done automatically if one assumes 
that the columns are symmetrical, without ever looking at the contents 
of a page (admittedly it will cut the title into two halves, but I would 
be willing to live with that ...)

Cheers,

  /vincent
