[RPG] If I am dual-wielding, how many attacks can I make as a standard action

dnd-3.5ednd-3epathfinder-1e

Hopefully this is a relatively straightforward question. I am used to playing 3.5e, and we recently switched to pathfinder. I had thought that taking any more than a single attack would require a full-attack action. However, as I was browsing through the Pathfinder SRD today, I saw this:

If you wield a second weapon in your off hand, you can get one extra attack per round with that weapon…

Does this mean that I can attack once with my main hand, and once with my off-hand as a single standard action?

Thanks!

No. You get an extra attack from the off hand, but it is not an exception time-wise to the general rule:

Multiple Attacks

A character who can make more than one attack per round must use the full-attack action (see Full-Round Actions) in order to get more than one attack.
