Opening pdfs on multiple monitors

With Acrobat 9 Pro on secondary monitor and selecting several docs; the first doc opens correctly on the secondary monitor, suceeding docs open on the the primary monitor. Can I get all docs to open on the secondary?

I usually set my desktop background to my own astroimages.  What are your extended desktop dimensions?  I'll be happy to post an astroimage for you to use. 
With Windows 7, if you "Tile" your desktop image, and you have an image of sufficient size, it will not repeat on each monitor, but instead it will span all of them.
In my case I prefer also to be able to see my desktop icons, which I have arranged along the top and bottom of the monitor on which I open the Photoshop main window.  I posted a snapshot of my entire desktop in this thread:  http://forums.adobe.com/message/2871339?tstart=0#2871339
By the way, if you'll notice in that other thread, some are claiming the exact feature you're looking for is supposedly fixed in CS5.  I don't know about that, but maybe there really is a way to get it to work in your preferred manner.

  • When I open PDF's multiple tabs keep opening. I tried on multiple websites and it does the same thing when trying to open PDF.

    So here is the deal. I try to open a PDF to view on any website and it opens numerous amounts of tabs, never stopping, tab after tab after tab.
    I went to Dells site to try and view a manual, I went to honeywell site to try and view a pdf.

    Make sure that you don't have Firefox selected as the '''Action''' for PDF files, Adobe Reader should be the program to be used.

  • Office Web App error - unable to open PDF after multiple trials

    Hi, we are using Office Web App server 2013 on win server 2012 (NO Sharepoint installed) to preview files (doc, docx, pdf, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx), OWA is set as http, wopihost
    is http as well under different from HTTP80, HTTP809 application pool
    File conversion if fine for small files and large files to some point - we can process same large pdf (100MB) 30-50 times, but after that there is a message
    "Sorry, Word Web App ran into
    a problem opening this document. To view this document please open it in Microsoft Word."
    Server has plenty of free space, PerfMon
    does not show spikes, no memory spikes in Process Manager. ULS logs do not provide any good info either...
    No errors in event log under Applications,
    System, or Microsoft Office Web Apps sections.
    That error will be shown if we process
    the same file. if try to process different file it works fine (again - few dozen times), but if after that I try to process first file - it shows error again.
    Documents
    are located on the same server as OWA installed, same machine has wopi site in non owa application pool (from Microsoft demo
    - C#)
    The only resolution i found is to reset
    WAC server from PowerShell or restart IIS - after that it starts to process original file...
    If I just recycle OWA application pools
    - HTTP80, HTTP809 it does not help. (tried to change Recycling condition in IIS for those pools - it slightly improves situation but does not resolve).
    I can reproduce such pattern with different file types, it just matter of number of hits.
    Same error present if we use OWA and wopi on machine as https with certificate.
    We use VerboseEx option for logging - no errors in ULS log files, but multiple Sync exiting

    So it goes as follows: OWA processing all formats fine, after trying same 100mb pdf file 50 times (it is possible to get same error with docx, just bigger number of trials) it does not process that pdf file, but processes others.
    After IIS reset it works as usual again. After trying another 100mb pdf file 50-60 times OWA stops to process that another file... We are expecting large number of hits and resetting IIS every 30min is not a good solution...
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thank you

    Hi ,
    Thank you for your post.
    Whether the issue occurs with different file types or only the PDF.
    Based on your description, when you reset WAC server from PowerShell or restart IIS, the issue is solved temporarily.
    I recommend that you check the application account, re-enter the account, then reset the IIS.
    whether the issue occurs with different file types or only the PDF.
    In addition, please check if the link is useful:

  • Opening PDF spawns multiple AcroRd32.exe processes.

    I have a user that when he opens any PDF he'll get 4 AcroRd32.exe process spawned the first time. When that one is closed, 2 of the 4 process end. When another PDF is opened, 2 processes start, but only one ends when the PDF is closed. So after 5 PDFs are opened and closed, 6 AcroRd32.exe processes are still running.
    So far all we've done is reinstalled Adobe Reader XI. Anything you guys know on how to fix it?

    Hi chubbcheese,
    Thank You for posting on the forums. Kindly help with the information listed below.
    1) Operating System
    2) Version of Reader (E.G.11.0.06)
    3) What kind of PDF is it, PDF producer
    Thanks,

    Does Firefox switch to full screen if you press F11 ?
    You can also try the F10 key to see if that brings up the menu bar.

    Something is definitely wrong with your install of Reader.
    A PDF consists of only the number of pages it was created with.  Reader can and will only open those pages... IF it's installed and working properly.
    Opening multiple blank pages from a document which contains none is a clear sign that the software isn't functioning. It's like putting a movie into a DVD player, and your TV starts a picture slide show of your last Summer's vacation. Not possible unless there's something seriously wrong.
    Uninstall Reader 9.
    Use either Adobe's clean uninstaller or Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2. exe) to remove all Reader installer files from your system.
    Reinstall Reader 9 from a new download (do not use the old one if you still have it on your system)

  • Opening pdf file in multi-monitor environment

    Hello:
    I have three monitors. The middle one is the main monitor (with the main taskbar). I use UltraMon to manage the monitors.
    Every time I open a pdf file (by clicking it in Wineows Explorer), it opens in the left-most monitor, regardless, for instance, where I closed the previous pdf file. Is there any way to get pdf files to open in a particular monitor? I have looked in Help and Preferences, but without luck.
    I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, version 9.2.0.
    Regards,
    Hans L

    I've not found anything in Acrobat Help associated with configuration of multple monitor usage from within Acrobat.
    You can select which monitor to use for full screen.
    See: Edit > Preferences > Full Screen
    If UltraMon does not provide the desired configuration setup then, perhaps, the OS might.

  • How to Open Two Excel Files in Multiple Monitors in Windows 7

    How to open two excel files in two excel windows using multiple monitors in Windows 7.
    Currently it opens multiple files on top of each other on the same one monitor.
    I found this article in a blog it says
    "The snap feature that you are looking for will not work unless you open two instances of Excel. This is because Excel Unlike Word is not a True SDI Application. Microsoft is aware of the Issue however there is no resolution to the problem but the workaround"

    If you are working almost the entire day in front of your computer at your office with lots of Excel Sheets and Word, then probably you might be working with a
    dual monitor or may be even more than that. Studies have shown that having an additional monitor increases the productivity by 20 to 30 percent (Source: NY Times)
    But some applications like MS Office Excel, even though you open multiple files, they are all from the same instance of the application. So if you want to compare two
    Excel
    files, then you may not be able to have it in two
    separate monitors as the files are loaded using the same instance of Excel. If you move one
    Excel
    file to the other window, the other Excel files are also moved to the other window.
    So how to have two separate Excel files or other application side by side in dual monitors?
    Option A:
    In Excel 2003, go to Tools -> Options ->
    General tab.
    Make sure the option, ‘Ignore other applications’ is checked. Now all the Excel files will be opened as separate instance and you can move the Excel files individually across the monitors.
    In Excel 2007, Click the Office button ->
    Excel Options -> Advanced.
    Under General, check ‘Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange’.
    or
    As this method forces each Excel file as a separate instance, the memory consumption will be more. If you don’t want too many memory consumption then you can open only two instances (see
    Option B) and manage wisely to view in both the monitors.
    Note: If you are having issues like Excel opens without displaying a workbook, then you may have to
    uncheck this option. (See Microsoft Help for more details on this). You can use option B in this case. I have this option checked and I have not faced any issue yet.
    Option B:
    They key here is, the application has to be loaded as separate instances. Lets say you have opened an Excel file in
    Monitor 1 and you want to open the next excel file in Monitor 2. You can usually open another instance of Excel by browsing through the
    Start Menu -> Programs -> Microsoft Office ->
    Excel. Make sure this newly opened Excel file is the last Excel file you had viewed and then double click on the Excel file that you wanted to open. This will force the Excel to
    open
    in the second instance of Excel. Now you can move these
    two excel files separately across windows or monitors.
    This may be little cumbersome way to open new instances of Excel every time. The easy solution would be to keep these links in the
    quick links near the Start button. So, every time you want to open a new instance of the application, you can just use those quick links.
    hope work thanks

  • In a multiple monitor situation, how do I get popup windows to open on the same monitor as the parent application is displayed.

    I have two monitors. I have an application that I run all day, displayed on my secondary monitor. Whenever a popup windows is launched form that application, it always opens on the primary monitor. Very annoying. Any way to get the popup to launch in on the same monitor as the parent application?

    Did you solve this problem ?

  • Have to click multiple times to open PDF files with Reader XI

    Having issues opening pdf files in Adobe Reader XI.  Many times I have to double click 3 or 4 times before the document will display on my screen.  This is even more of an issue when trying to open a pdf in a browser, and will often cause IE to crash.  Every time I try to open a pdf file there is a process that is started, so I end up with a stack of AcroRd32.exe processes running with nothing to show for it.  I tried re-installing Reader, removing Acrobat 8 Standard, etc with no success.  OS is Windows 7, SP1.  Any help out there?

    You can't have both Acrobat 8 and Reader XI installed at the same time. They're not compatible with one another. Acrobat XI and Reader XI is fine, though.
    Also, Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 7...

  • Multiple monitors - how to define which monitor files open on

    Mac OS 10.8.X
    PS CS6
    I work on a Mac with three monitors. My primary monitor is in the middle. I often will drag images to one of the side monitors where they'll stay open while I'm working on other images. But photoshop will open the next image I choose on the side monitors where I've got images open.
    I want all new images to open on my primary monitor, always. Is there a way to define which monitor images will open on?

    Photoshop will open an image on the last monitor an image was on. If I open an image and drag it to one of my side monitors, then open a new image, it will open on the same monitor where the other image is sitting. If I open an image and move it to a side monitor, then close it on that monitor, the next image will open on that monitor.
    So I think your answer is not correct. PS always opens the image on the last monitor where an image resided.
    Repro:
    Have two monitors, A and B.
    Open an image. It will open on A. Drag the image to monitor B.
    Open a second image by double clicking an image in a finder window. It will now open on B.
    Close images on Monitor B
    double click a new image to open it. It will open on B.
    Now take that image and drag it back to A. Close it.
    Double click and image to open a new image in PS. It will now open on A.
    Result:
    Photoshop remembers the last monitor where an image was open, and will open subsequent images on that monitor, even if that monitor is no longer present. For example, if you open an image on your main monitor, then drag it to a projector window, then close the window. then turn off the projector. All new images you open will be on the projector, even if it's turned off. The only way to use PS again is to turn the projector back on, drag the images back to the monitor you want to use, then close them from there.
    NB: To test your theory, I opened an image in Preview on monitor A, then dragged it to monitor B. Opened next image, and it opens on A. PS behaves differently than the system. This has always been the behavior of PS, from many version back, so this isn't specific to PS6, but it would be nice to be able to change or affect that behavior.

  • HELP!!! Suddenly unable to open .pdf in IE6 or IE7

    Every .pdf I try to open, results in a new window with the deadly red X in the corner. I tried uninstalling Reader 8.1.1 but I get the message: "The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it." Since I'm the system administrator, access should not be the issue. Most times I can get around the problem by saving the file to my computer....but some forms won't allow that (like the ones at the Department of Revenue for WA state.
    I really need to know how to fix this problem....it is costing me time every day....today I had to call the Dept of Revenue and have them fax me the form.......very time consuming.
    Thank you. Carole Grace
    PS Upgraded to IE7 hoping the problem would stop but it didn't....

    Hi,
    You can try steps "To Set "Run as administrator" in Compatibilty Mode Properties" in following article to always run IE as admin:
    http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/9564-run-administrator-windows-8-a.html
    But to figure out the root cause of the issue, I suggest we try Process monitor to capture the behavior when your open PDF in IE 11．
    Download: Process Monitor v3.05
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx

  • Is it possible to force a fixed Application to open in a Secondary Monitor?

    This is my first time actively using a forum, so forgive me if I'm unclear with my question or if I'm unaware of forum common sense or etiquette.
    I've been running a Multi-Monitor system for awhile now at my office. I ran into a few problems when I first set it up, but was able to resolve many issues with many work-arounds. In truth, this is one of the same major problems I was having before.
    As it says in my details, I have an iMac with a Wacom Cintiq 21UX via Mini DisplayPort to DVI, and an Apple Cinema Display via Arkview USB Display Adapter. I do a lot of graphical work amongst my many tasks, so the Cintiq is typically my main input device. I have it set in a Portrait position, which I prefer greatly over Landscape.
    My problem is that to use many of the graphical applications, Adobe anything, I have to set it as the main monitor. Since Apple doesn't use application containers, at least, not in a way that allows you to drag the main toolbar. This solution, of course, I learned after a lot of struggle. It works and I'm fine with it now, but I've recently been called upon to use Final Cut and Motion for some projects and this problem has again reared its head, but in a different way.
    I've programs set up all over my three screens; sized and set to where I like them and are most efficient, and across multiple Spaces. To properly run Final Cut, a resolution of 1280x800 is strongly recommended. Since I'm running Portrait, mine is set to 1200x1600. I didn't think much of Final Cut's initial warning at the time, since any windows caught outside the screen I was certain I could rescue with a trusty Applescript, written to collect all windows to the main screen. Which I discovered was a problem when running Final Cut from a laptop that was dual-monitored, but once you take away the secondary monitor the Final Cut windows remain floating aimlessly out of screen. They were floating off-screen, as I thought, and fixed it with the applescript. While I was working though, I was confused on where the **** the splice tool went. I looked everywhere in the application I could to find it, but it wasn't until I called a friend and he assured me that the tool actually did exist that I remember the teeny-tiny tool panel that would typically reside next to the timeline. The applescript can't pull it for some reason.
    So my question, *is there a way in which you can change the display an application starts in?* (bolded for ease of discovery in this long post) what would fixedly open in the main display instead opening to a secondary monitor. Or, as consolation, possibly rescuing that tiny tool panel? Early on I tried keeping a shortcut key set to switch the main monitors back and forth, but found that applications will switch with them, applications I didn't want to switch. Plus, the Wacom Pen has to be re-calibrated when the Cintiq is switched to the secondary monitor, and then, of course, re-calibrated again when it's switched back to the main.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    All my Monitors are set to their native resolutions, 1280x800 is Final Cut's suggested optimal resolution. My Cintiq is a Tablet Monitor, one that allows you to write or draw upon the screen itself, as such, it's set upon an adjustable stand that will let you place the Tablet Monitor upright, semi-flat against the desk, or anywhere in-between, in addition to 360 degree rotation in its flat position. This means that the Tablet Monitor comes with two native resolutions, one for Landscape and one for Portrait. The Cintiq is purposely designed to allow it to be set in a Portrait position, for the comfort of the User. 1200x1600 is just as native for the Cintiq as 1600x1200. Also, my Office Desktop set-up is, God-willing, a permanent set-up; I don't disconnect Monitors, and they are set to Extended Desktop Mode.
    My aim was to avoid switching back or forth between resolutions or Mirroring. This will work, yes, but having to do it every time I need to use Final Cut, or any other such program with odd monitor requirements, is a hassle. With all the various windows and applications I have running at any one time, I'll be wasting time moving and resizing windows across multiple Spaces back to where they were every time I need to run Final Cut, and re-calibrating the pen to the new resolution. Which is also a little embarrassing when I need to demo a clip for my bosses and co-workers and I have to spend time, in which I could be explaining things, tiding up my desktops. It would be ideal to have it prepared before they got there, (actually, ideal would be not having to prep it in the first place) but not all meetings are scheduled and planned.
    As for windows that get lost in space, that's what the Applescript was for, but apparently that little tool panel, which is wholly more important than it's size suggests, doesn't register as a window and gets left behind.
    So my hoped for solution is a way in which to force a Program that would normally load onto the Main Monitor to instead load on to a chosen Secondary Monitor, one that fills the necessary resolution requirements of said Program. I couldn't care less about the Applications need for the Main Toolbar since I run Secondbar anyhow.
    This isn't a vital emergency though, I'm just trying to find a solution for an annoyance and to make the whole process more efficient. Oh well, C'est la vie.
    Thank you for your reply Dennis.
