Acrobat 9 Pro: Open all documents in same window - don't want!!

In Acrobat 7 there was a setting under
Edit/Preferences/Documents that said "Show each document in its own window"
I had this unchecked.
I can't find this setting in 9, there is no such option (at least what I can find). I don't want all documents in separate windows, I want them in the same window! How do I fix that??

But that's just plain stupid! I don't want 20 windows open when I drag 20 files into Acrobat for printing. I just want one.
I wonder why they have done it like this.
There are a lot of things missing from Acrobat 7 that I wish they hadn't removed. I thought upgrades was supposed to make a program better, not worse! Now I have to find work-arounds for a lot of things that was easy before and now doesn't work at all or works but takes a lot of time to do.

Open a document in same window

Hi
We have a requirement to open a document in same window(lower part) when a link or button is clicked. Is there any sample explaining how to do that?

Open all PDFs in same window option in Acrobat 9?

All my PDFs open in separate windows/acrobat instances. There used to be a feature in option to allow all to open in same window. Cant seem to find it in verison 9.

You're correct. I think that was the switch between SDI (single document interface) and MDI (multiple document interface). In 8.x the ability to switch was there but in 9.0 it appears to have gone the way of the dinosaur. :(

Hi there,
we had the same issue - I opened an OSS and got following reply :
<i>
<b>08.03.2007 - 12:45:49 CET SAP Reply</b>
I have checked from my development colleague and confirmed that
this parameter is not supported currently and development has recently
no plans to support this feature.
I apologize for the inconvenience caused here.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Best Regards

Can you believe this ? I don't, as this parameter has been around since SP12 or so and still there is no official note regarding this issue.

"Open documents in same window" option--gone in v.9 Pro?

I always preferred to have all my documents open in Acrobat 8 Pro. Now my new upgrade to Acrobat 9 Pro, they all open in their own window. Oddly, the setting to stop this from happening and force a single-window opening does not seem to exist any more.
Am I missing something? is there a fix somewhere?

This is the worst thing to happen to acrobat, in my opinion.
The clutter that it creates on my computer and the fact that i cant even see the document title when I have a bunch of them open (because the task bar is too full) is unacceptable.
I never would have changed from Acrobat 8 if I had known, and now I cant switch back (company license).
The latest thing i can find about addressing it is here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb405108&sliceId=1
which was in november 2008....
why hasnt any thing else been done about it? I just spent 45 minutes being sent to different departments over the phone, only to be told to submit a feature request.
Please do this if you havent already:

Open all documents in the same window ?

How in Reader 9 can I configure it to open all documents in the same window instead of as individual windows?
Thanks

Bug report sent to Adobe:
******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
MDI removed from Reader 9
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Open more than one document.
2. Look at taskbar overflowing.
3.
Results: Customer is pissed off.
Expected results: Happy customer.
Steps to make customer happy: Get your heads out of your ***, and make MDI not just an option, but the DEFAULT. Who the hell thought going back to Windows 3.0 SDI interface technology was a good idea? Please post his/her name, and whoever approved that decision's name publically, because a) they will (or should) be looking for a new job since they just got fired, and b) I don't want to make the mistake of hiring them. I mean seriously. I thought what I was reading on the web was a hoax. I had to check snopes.com to be sure. Do you guys not have a random drug testing policy? For that matter, do you not realize that when a person, that you're trusting to make important decisions that affect millions of people, is sitting at their desk drooling on themselves and can't get out more than a single syllable word, that maybe, just maybe, they're not the person you should have in that position? Is this a product line wide decision? Should I look at scrapping all of my other Adobe / Macromedia products and upgrading to those that support 15 year old technology? Are you going to turn into another Symantec? Hey, lets buy take over great companies with great products, turn the product lines into crap, and then discontinue and abandon them. Seriously, what should we expect for Reader 10.0? Are you going to be upgrading to a console application? Please, please, please for 11.0 can we have it be phosphorous green too? I think Im going to go back to my bottle of wine now

Open documents in same window (Adobe Reader 9)

Dear forum,
I would like to set up Adobe Reader 9, that it opens all documents in the same window. This is much easier to handle, when you have multiple documents opened.
Does anybody know how to set up Adobe Reader 9 in this manner ?
Thanks for your answers,

Acrobat 9 Pro Optimize Scanned Documents problems

Acrobat 9 Pro Optimize Scanned Documents only seems to affect the first page of the document when I try to remove the gray background that is an artifact of the scanning which I didn't do.

But that's just plain stupid! I don't want 20 windows open when I drag 20 files into Acrobat for printing. I just want one.
I wonder why they have done it like this.

Acrobat will not open any documents, HELP! Thank you!

Adobe Acrobat will not open any documents, it tells me it is a trial, I click on license product and get a thank you for your Adobe Cloud subscription... but then when I try to open a pdf I get the same message it just keeps looping from trial will run out in 7 days to trial will run out in 13 days and I can never open a pdf. I am going to try and uninstall and reinstall. For most of us, not being able to open a pdf is comparable to not being able to work. This is totally UNacceptable. Clients and bosses are counting on my being able to do my job, I can't say to them, "Oh well the dog "Adobe" ate my homework." PLEASE fix this Adobe! Thank you.
Here is a screen shot of the messages...
I uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled from Adobe Application Manager, thought all was great when it asked for my user name and password, then when I clicked Launch... same issue. FRUSTRATING! Any one have a fix? I even created a pdf using InDesign, made sure I had View PDF after exporting checked and still got that awful Trial box. The pdf did show up in my documents, but I can not open it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you Manish-Sharma, I followed the instruction in the thread, and for the first time in a week I can actually open a PDF. I am not sure if this will be a permanant fix, we will see on the 30 day mark. I really appreciate that you read my question and gave me an answer that allowed me to open Acrobat. I also opened Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and AfterEffects. They all opened with the exception of a small glitch when I opened Illustrator which was cleared up in moments. See screetshot.
Thank you again! Much appreciated!

Have installed and uninstalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on my Dell desktop running Windows 7 Professional. Each time I try to open a PDF file, I receive ERROR: 16 message. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?

How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?
I am using a "Windows 7" computer at work with "Acrobat X Pro" and I'm constantly combining
pdf's and tiff's in Acrobat.
It would be nice if when I select 30 or 40 files to combine, the
"Combine Supported Files in Acrobat" window would open in the
foreground, not behind the 10 or so windows already open.
I have been researching this for some time now with no solution.
If the answer is that "IT CAN'T BE DONE", then that's fine. At least
I will have an answer and can stop searching. If (as I suspect) it can
be done, then kindly supply me with "step by step" instructions.
Michael Jones

Something that works (provides Acrobat the application precedence in the OS that is requisite for this) --
Minimize the 10 or so application windows before engaging use of Acrobat's "combine".
That'll let the Acrobat dialog windows display front and center.
Be well...

Is there a way to make InCopy open all documents in normal screen mode, always?

Is there a way to make InCopy open all documents in normal screen mode, always?
Now it opens in the screen mode the InDesign page is in when checked in. We don't want that.
Thanks,
Frederik

No, there's no way to get rid of it in InCopy. InCopy opens layouts in the mode the InDesign user saved them, including Normal vs. Preview, Frame edges showing or not, Hidden characters showing or not, and so on.
You could try asking the designers to switch to Normal view before saving the INDD file. Or you could assign a keyboard shortcut to the Normal view in InCopy and tell everyone to use that. We're on Macs so we use Control-N for Normal and Control-Shift-N for Preview.
