Can't open multiple PDF docs on same display

I have a Windows 7 x64 machine, with Acrobat X Standard, running dual displays.
The problem is that I can't get multiple PDF files to open on my right display.  One PDF file will open on the right display, if no other PDF files are open.  The first one always opens there by default.  The problem is that if one file is open, any subsequent PDF files ALWAYS open on the left display, on top of my design software.  Then I have to drag it back over to the right to see what I'm doing on the left.  Very annoying.
EVERY other application installed on my machine opens where it's supposed to.  Multiple Firefox windows always open in the same place on the right display.  Multiple Windows Explorer windows always open on the right display.  Multiple Outlook, Word, Excel, etc. docs always open on the right display.
Acrobat is the ONLY app that will not open multiple docs on the right side.  I had the same issue with Acrobat Reader 9 before I installed X.
My old machine used to do the same thing with Acrobat 8 Standard, and at some point there was an update that seemed to fix it.  However I can't seem to get it to work with X on my current machine.  Any ideas?

The problem is with the document, not the program.You can try to open the file in Preview and print from there. Otherwise, you will need to contact the creator of the document for a new version of the file.

    I have gone to Previews preferences and selected 'Open groups of images in the same window' and have tried every setting imaginable and nothing works. What am I doing wrong?

  • I can't open attachments on my iPad 2.  I have downloaded the 8.0.2 software update.  I can't open jpgs, PDFs, docs. or movie files now.

    I can't open attachments on my iPad 2t and I can't open jpgs, PDFs, docs. or movie files now.

    Obviously, you are talking about the mail app, so force close the mail app and reset your iPad. If that fails, reset all settings.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it. 
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    When you reset all settings, you will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

  • Can you opening multiple albums at the same time in Photo (not iPhoto)?

    When converting the iPhoto library to Photo most of the albums that were in place in iPhoto converted to albums in Photo . . . .but not all. Some were retained as events mainly those that were folders within an album. In order to move them to the right album I would like to have multiple albums open at the same time (side by side) so that I can make sure not to duplicate photos or move them to the wrong spot.
    I cant see how to do this, it seems that I can need to open one album and check phots and then close to look within and other and rely on memory. There must be a more efficient and accurate way to do this?

    All of the events in iPhoto were converted to albums and are located in the Folder titled iPhoto Event in the sidebar of Photos. 
    You can't open multiple albums at the same time.  You can create a smart album that will do essentially the same thing with the following criteria:
    Album is "A"
    Album is "B".
    The smart album will display all of the photos in those two albums.

  • Can you open multiple windows of the same Keynote presentation?

    Like you can in PPT, where you can go Window > New Window, and see more than one slide at once of the same presentation in the large view. If there is any way to view more than one slide at time, in the large view, please let me know.
    I know about Light Table, and that's useful but I really want to be able to open multiple instances of the same presentation like I could in ppt.

    Thanks, I will. It seems like such an obvious thing, yet I could not find anyone referencing it anywhere. I thought I was the only one who used ppt (or now keynote) that way. Otherwise it is awesome, so much better than PPT.

  • How can I open multiple instances of the same version of FF?

    I understand that if I have multiple profiles, I can run different versions of FF side-by-side (like 3.6 and 4).
    However, what I'm interested in is how I can launch multiple instances of the same version of FF (4, for instance) using the same profile. In other words, I want to be able to double-click the desktop icon for FF, and open a new instance, and keep doing that as many times as I want. I don't want to have a different icon and profile for each instance (too much overhead to keep a dozen+ profiles in sync).
    I can always launch one FF window instance, and then keep clicking ctrl+N to launch new instances from inside it, which they all share the same profile (as I want). So, basically, I want to be able to do that from my desktop icon, rather than by having to do it with the keyboard ctrl+N sequence.

    But I don't understand why whatever Firefox does when you click ctrl+N can't also be done (with some sort of command-line switch) from a desktop icon?
    In other words, I clearly can create many FF instances (even if they are the same FF.exe process) by doing ctrl+n a bunch of times. Why then can't this behavior be done from a desktop icon with some parameters?
    As far as I know, FF is the only browser that doesn't directly allow multiple browser instances from desktop icons. IE, Chrome, Safari, Opera, etc... all let me launch a new instance (even if they are all single process and the instances are shared within the process).

  • Can I open multiple copies of the same book?

    I am reading a more technical book. It would be helpful to have multiple pages opened at the same time (for the purpose of reference)
    Is it possible to open more than one copy of the same book?
    I know that I can open the book on my iPad or iPhone, but I would like to open them both on my Mac.

    I used to be able to print multiple copies of the same picture on one page using iphoto. There was a customise button when you went through to print and it was there somewhere. I can't see it anymore - maybe since an upgrade.
    It's gone. But as a work-around, duplicate your photo (⌘D) to create as many versions as you want copies and select all at once. Then use the "Custom" print layout and set the photo size you want.
    After printing, trash the added versions.

  • Preview opens multiple pdf's in same window

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, Preview frequently (but not always) opens pdf's in an already open window.  The preferences are set to open each pdf in its own window, but that is being ignored.  If I could easily separate them, it would not be such a problem, but I can't find a way to do that.  How do I fix this annoying bug?  Thanks

    Without this radio button in Preview's preference selected files are opened in separated windows:
    If you don't want groups opened at the same time to be in the same window unselect the radio button below it.
    OR, select the last radio button.

  • How can I convert multiple .pdf doc's to .pdf/a doc's

    I need to convert multiple .pdf documents to .pdf/a documents in a batch mode, instead of one at a time.  Is there a way to do this in Adobe XI Pro or another Adobe product?

    You can use Acrobat XI Pro. Create an Action to make use of the appropriate "convert to..." Preflight (for PDF/A there are several).
    Be well...

  • Acrobat X -- Opening multiple pdf's in same window

    It appears from the forum, this problem was there in Reader 9.
    I migrated from 8 to X and find there isn o setting as in 8 for opening inthe same window..
    But then why in the window tab, cascade and tile are still there?
    Can someone urgently help?

    You are complaining about the new user interface. Adobe is following Microsoft Guidelines. Microsoft will need to change their guidelines before Adobe changes the application. Alas, I don't have Steve Ballmer's email address or telephone number for you to reach him at.

  • How can I open multiple instances of the same folder and web browser in different desktops in Lion?

    I've selected "none" for association but it doesn't work. In other words, I have a Dropbox folder on my desktop. I'd like to be able to open that same folder using the same shortcut on different Lion desktops. However, whenever I try to use the same shortcut on a different desktop, it switches to the one where it's already open. Same problem with web browsers; if I try to just click on a web browser to create a new window, it will take me back to the other desktop.
    I didn't have this problem before I had to replace my hard drive and update everything again. I am aware of the "restart Finder" option as well as associating programs with individual desktops. All of the things in question are currently selected as "none."
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I just set Safari's option to None. That is I right clicked on the dock, selected options, and chose none. Also, in Mission Control's tab of System Preferences I clicked Off When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for that application. That let me open a new Safari window no matter what desktop I was in. But I had to do both. Just setting the desktop option to none didn't seem to do it. Finder seems to work okay with just the none option set.

  • Open multiple pdfs in one acrobat window

    There are many things annoying about Acrobat, but the one that really gets me is that the option to open multiple pdfs in the same window, rather than splattering them all over the toolbar, apparently has been removed in the latest versions.  I have been using Foxit for pdfs for the past few years and am only now returning to acrobat because we've purchased a piece of software that requires a plugin that works only in acrobat.
    Tabs are the proper solution.   How long ago did Firefox shake up the browser community with tabs, 15 years ago?   Where was Acrobat?   For a while, they bodged together a preference that would keep them all in the same window (no tabs however), but even that is gone.

  • Open Multiple PDF files from Production order/Routing

    Hi Everyone
    We are in ECC 6.0 environment. We have a scenario where multiple documents were attached to single operation and also at multiple operations. But when I was trying to open these PDF documents, only the last file was getting opened and closing the previous file. How can I open multiple PDF files at one time from Production order or Routing?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Regards
    Prasad

    Hi Prasad,
    from DMS standard I regret but such a functionality is not available. In the standard originals can be opened only one after another.
    I think for realising this functionality an individual modificatoin is necessary.
    Best regards,
    Christoph

  • Can not open multiple Adobe PDF Files at same time

    I am having trouble with opening multiple .PDF files in Adobe.  Once I have one (1) PDF open, when I try to open another file it opens and then instantly force closes that file, but leaves the original PDF file open.  There are no error notifications or anything - its as if you never tried to open the other file.  In short I can only have one (1) PDF open at a time.  It does not matter whether I try to open the file straight from the directory or whether I go to File -> Open -> find file and Click OK.  The same thing happens either way.
    Things I have tried already:
    1) Restart Computer (I think this is SOP for computer issues. LOL)
    2) Closed all adobe session and end processes (in task manager) for all adobe related processes (that I can identify).
    I am running Adobe 9 Professional on Windows XP.  Please let me know if you need any additional information.
    I would appreciate any help anyone can provide.  I have tried researching this issue on this and other forums without finding a similar thread/issue.
    Thanks!
    Mel
