Ability to view multiple files in ONE window

I can see here that this is not a new topic really but the thing with Acrobat 9 is so frustrating that it is just unbelievable.
This is another pearl:
Acrobat 9 "lost" its predecessors ability to view multiple files in ONE window. After opening four only documents I cannot see anything on the screen because the toolbars on each individual window cover all necessary view and nothing is left for the actual document. And sometimes I need to open 20 documents!
This is ABSOLUTE DISASTER!!!
I found some explanations from Adobe on the Web that are more than a year old.
I was sure that by now this unfortunate mishandling of that feature (apparently it was dropped out from A9 deliberately - WHO'S IDEA WAS THAT?) would be somehow restorable.
Would anyone happen to know if this feature can get restored to how it was working in A7 or 8 (without the need to uninstall A9 and install A8)?

No, it can't be restored, unless Adobe decides to change the way Acrobat works (which is possible, but not likely).
By the way, it was Microsoft's idea... Adobe were just following their example on this.

  • How do I view multiple images in one window?

    How do I view multiple images in one window?  I want to compare images side by side, not in tabs.

    Thank you, Barbara.  I found that I had to close the program after I turned on "allow floating documents" and restart, before I was able to go to "float all in windows". 

  • Viewing multiple files in just one Reader window

    Hello,
    It seems that Reader v8 has lost the ability of opening
    multiple files within one instance of Reader, with several
    options for stacking, or cascading them, all within what
    I might call a "reader workspace".
    Now each file takes its own window, which I find *very*
    annoying and unnecesarily clutters the desktop.
    I have looked and looked and tried, online and in the Reader,
    but I have yet to come up with the "solution".
    I find it hard to believe that this kind of ubviously
    desirable option could be gone... at the time when even IE7
    has tabs now to help keep things organized!
    Well, having tabs within Reader would indeed be a worthy
    extension of the (now lost) "contained workspace" view.
    Any clue?
    Thanks a lot,
    -GF

  • How can I convert multiple files at one time and not one at a time

    How can I convert multiple files at one time and not one at a time

    Hi Plissey1950,
    Sorry for the lengthy delay to a response.  Are you trying to convert multiple files to individual PDF files at the same time? (not combine them).  If so, you'll need to use Adobe Acrobat for this function. The CreatePDF service does not have the ability to convert multiple files to multiple individual PDF files.
    Thanks,
    David

    How do you select multiple files at one time

    Select one, and then either command-click another, or in list/column view, Shift-click the item at the other end of the range you want to select. Alternatively, click on a spot in the screen and drag the cursor until all the files are selected.

  • Multiple selections to multiple layers or multiple files with one go ?

    Hi,
    how to convert multiple selections to multiple layers or multiple files with one go ?
    Thanks!

    You may want to ask over at
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop/photoshop_scripting?view=discussions
    or
    http://ps-scripts.com/bb/
    I think there are Scripts about for the task or at least ones that could be adapted without too much problems.
    The usual approach is, I think, creating a Work Path from a Selection and then using (expanded) Selections based on the individual subPathItems to intersect with the original selection.
    Of course there are possibilities for bad results …

    I use GoodReader on my iPad and use the GoodReaderUSB tool. the GoodReaderUSB tool allows you to transfer entire folders into GoodReader without loosing the folder/file structure.

    Hi,
    It depends on your popup blocker (built-in or Addon toolbar), tabbed browser settings and IE security settings.
    See general tab of Internet Options, Tabs button.
    you can specify a target parameter in the navigate method to reuse the one IE window and open each site in a new tab (depending on your settings above).

  • Mii attach multiple files in one e-mail

    Hello everyone
    This is Yuko.
    There are two MII may have a problem with email attachments.
    1. Once you attach multiple files in one e-mail
    Please tell me how this
    2. Can not be above 1, and compiled into a single ZIP file.
    Now, I can attach multiple files in one e-mail,
    When you extract the ZIP, just made away with the file directory path is created,
    you can not open the attachment and open the folder several times.
    Anyone know a solution to this problem, please tell me.

    Kevin, Thanks for answers.
    My English is poor. Sorry.
    Your answer is, we assume that the permit issue, and probably would not matter. Again, write the points in need.
    For example, the two CSV when put together in one ZIP file, the workbench in the CSV file to specify the full path. CSV file, the workbench under the Web folder and then five in the second tier. At this time, who received an email with this attachment is to open the attachments, ZIP and open the file, open the following folder hierarchy, the next ..., and, many times to open the folder , will finally open a CSV file. Many times without opening the folder you want to open a CSV file.
    We look forward advice.

    Using Adobe 11 reader, now comes up with an error, once file is opened. 'Invalid plugin detected, Adobe reader will quit. Closes the program so cannot view PDF files. Running windows 7. I have uninstalled and re-installed Adobe still the same. HELP

    Sounds like something has been added into the Reader folder. I would recommend uninstalling, running http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, removing any left over parts of the Reader folder (this might have been the problem), reboot, and reinstall. Hopefully that solves the problem. For future question about Reader, you should consider asking in the Reader forum, this is not it.

  • How to open multiple C source files in one window in Xcode

    I could not find the way for opening multiple source code in one window in Xcode.
    Is it possible?

    Yes that was my question, thank you very much...
    you mean like in tabs or somethign? I don't quite
    understand your question. If everything is in one
    project, you can switch your file viewer to editor
    mode by clicking on Editor in the top left and then
    navigate through your files with the left tree.

  • Can't play multiple movies in one window

    I must be doing something wrong. I wanted to watch a series of video clips (all .mov) in quicktime, but not in 10 different windows. Isn't there a way to highlight 10 clips, and then "play all" and have them open up in one window? For some reason, every time I attempt this, I get 10 quicktime players opening up! I'd just like one at a time, and the ability to skip to through the movies like I would do in iTunes with music. I seem to remember doing this before, but now can't remember how. Any ideas?

    The steps are correct but you've left out the one that adjusts the 2 through 9 movies position as compared to the others.
    The first video would hold a position of 0,0 (upper left). When you add the second video you need to adjust its "offset" to position it next to but not overlapping the first. Since your videos are 100X75 you would set the offset of the second track too 100,0 (100 pixels to the right of the original and 0 pixels different in height). The third would be 200,0 offset.
    On the second row your first file would be 0,75 (75 pixels below the upper video). The second file on the second row would be offset 100,75 and the third would be 200,75.
    The third row would be 0,150 followed by 100,150 and 200,150.
    You could add a slight "border" between each video and give it a color by using the bgcolor="your color" (standard html color codes) and adding that space by adjusting the offset plus your border width in pixels. Hollywood Squares style of video.
    http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/03war/ one of my older files that uses multiple track video playback of a QuickTime file. The "TV" set is a track and the video that plays "inside" it is another. The still image movies are also separate tracks and QuickTime .mov files can hold up to 99 tracks.
