AR 8 doesn't open in existing window anymore

Hi,
after upgrading from AR7 to 8 on Linux, every pdf document opens in a new window. Just like I would call "acroread -openInNewWindow" every time, which I don't, of course.
If that default behaviour was changed, then the parameter "-openInNewWindow" should have been replaced by "-openInExistingWindow"!
How can I open several documents in one window now?
cu,
Frank

I was also quite "surprised" in the change from AR7 to AR8. I do not see how an why, given that you had already a way to let the user open more than 1 window, you had to remove the MDI.
The first thing I do when opening IE/mozilla/firefox, or the like, on a newly installed computer is modify the options in such a way that all new windows are actually captured and opened in new tabs (firefox is actually great in this respect, in the customization of options)....
I work mainly under linux/unix and I am not allowed to decide what version of the software to use, as I am not administrator of the computers I am working on. So I will have to wait and SUFFER up to the time you will release a new version of AR..
If it is true that the AR8 has bug fixes (and in this case the administrators are usually stronlgy against rolling back) and different things have changed that "should" improve performances, but it is also true that some window-manager are not so clever when too many windows are open and in the end the overall performances, once opening many files, are degraded!

  • Nautilus doesn't open a new window when clicked

    For a while now, I have been experiencing an annoying issue.
    Whenever I open Nautilus either by clicking the icon in the drawer (example: http://i.imgur.com/uZc3n7S.png) or by hitting "Super" (the Windows key) and typing nautilus+enter, Nautilus doesn't create a new window anymore. Instead, it just shows "Files" in the top bar, as seen here: http://i.imgur.com/Ho2nJhv.png
    I can open a Nautilus window by clicking on the "Files" item in the top bar and clicking "New Window", as seen here: http://i.imgur.com/7IrWqvr.png
    Also, whenever my desktop is focused, the "Files" item is visible in the top bar. In the drawer, the Nautilus icon is always highlighted as well. This leads me to believe that GNOME thinks Nautilus is already open, while it is not.
    Note that I have enabled my desktop to be managed by Nautilus, so I can have icons on my desktop. I'm not sure, but if I recall correctly, this problem started ever since the one time I ran gnome-settings-daemon manually, to test if a certain bug still exists.
    Has anyone experienced a similar issue? How could I track down why this is happening?

    Gnome-shell issue. You can disable desktop management as a temporary fix, but the next gnome-shell update will fix the problem.

    I can't use Yahoo messenger (it doesn't open the dialogue window), but in other PCs with older versions of Firefox I don't have problems
    As stated earlier even though when I have an incoming message I hear the "Beep" Firefox does not open the dialogue window as it used to do.
    Also I am not able to open a new dialogue window or tab by clicking on an online contact of mine.

    Known issue, See:

  • Since I made my Safari update yesterday, safari doesn't open my chosen webpage anymore at the start...

    Since I made my Safari update yesterday, safari doesn't open my chosen webpage anymore at the start... Frustrating ! What can I do to have my opening page again ?

    Go to Preferences-> general and change 3 settings there:

    3. "Homepage" = <your chosen webpage>

  • Since being upgraded to 3.6.11 CTRL+N doesn't open a new window

    My Firefox was updated to 3.6.10 yesterday (3.6.11 today) and now when I try and use CTRL+N to open a new window, nothing happens.
    File - New Window doesn't work either.
    I can open new tabs

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Any idea why InDesign CS5 doesn't open fully in Windows XP?

    When I try to open an InDesign CS5 file in Windows XP, the application appears in the task bar but does not open in the window. I tried right-clicking the icon in the task bar to "maximize" the window but this has no effect.  This problem seems to happen about 60% of the time, at other times it works normally. Any idea what I should do to resolve this issue? -- Thanks

    I've no idea why it doesn't open, but I can tell you what worked for me. 
    I tried the minimise and then maximise option, ending processes that might be conflicting and so on.  Then in desperation, I changed the screen resolution of my monitor (right click, propoerties, settings, screen resolution).  InDesign appeared and when I changed the resolution back again it was still there. 
    Give it a go.

  • Open New Browser Window in CS4 opens behind existing window - HELP!

    I am creating a website in CS4, and everything works fine EXCEPT ona few pages, for every link I have set up to open in a new browser window, the new window opens BEHIND the existing window, so that you cannot see it. I tried one solution that said to type "javascript:;" in the href (link) box, but that did not correct the problem. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Sounds like you have Tabbed browsing enabled.

  • FF4 on Snow Leopard: Cmd-N, "New Window", doesn't open, is in Window menu, but isn't accessible. Add-ons all disabled.

    I installed FF4 yesterday onto my Mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.7. Today I can't open a "new window" using either the "New Window" menu under File, or using Cmd-N. (Don't know if it would have worked yesterday - I didn't try.) I disabled all (4) of my add-ons, restarted and the new windows are still failing to open. The new windows are listed in the "Window" menu, but even using that, I can't open them. Showing all open windows, using the built-in Mac "Expose" (F9) feature also doesn't show these windows.

    Well, today my New Window functionality is working fine, not fast, but it works. Nothing has changed - no new software or OS updates. Oh, well, thanks for looking at this.

  • Clicking on download doesn't open usual dialog window on some websites

    Firefox 26 in Xubuntu 13.10.
    When I download files (.pdf, .rar, .txt, or whatever) from most sites a dialog window opens asking me what I want to do with said file, e.g. open with Default utiliy for that file type, or save file to local disk.
    This does not seem to work on some websites however. In particular trying to download a .mkv file doesn't open the usual dialog and just fills my page with coding text that is way above my paygrade.
    I am not at all familiar with .mkv and any quirks or individualities it may have, so I guess my initial question is, do I need some kind of additional FF plug-in to download this file type or is there a fault with the config of the websites involved?

    [SOLVED] Many thanks for your prompt response. It looks like the problem solved as per your advice to Right-click on the link and selecting Save Link as.. rather than actually opening the linked page itself which, I think, was where I might well have been going wrong initially. Some additional info that may be useful for Xubuntu users - I opened Thunar file manager, navigated to the file being downloaded, Right-clicked and selected Properties and was able to monitor the progress and eventual completion of the download in real-time.
    Thanks once again.

  • Clicking Finder Icon in Dock Doesn't Open New Finder Window

    On my MBP with Lion, the left clicking the finder icon does nothing.  It doesn't even change the menu bar focus to finder.    I can right click and then open a new window.    This works like I am accustomed to on my MBP with Lion. 
    Any ideas to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Geraldo.

    Open Terminal, type
    killall Dock
    and press 'return' on the keyboard.
    That will solve the issue temporarily. But to fix it permanently you need to go find the 3rd party software that is causing the conflict, probably in your Login Items if a restart didn't fix it. Look here:
     > System Preferences... > Users & Groups | Login Items
    Likely suspects are things like
    Total Spaces
    Path Finder
    BetterTouchTool
    BetterFinder
    but the list of possibilities is endless. Easiset thing to do is just remove EVERYTHING from your login items.
