Cannot open more then one PDF file at a time without crashing

Started having a issue where if I try to open multiple PDF files Acrobat Reader closes. The most I can have open is one. If I go to open a second pdf file it looks like it will open but then it closes and takes the first window down with it. Installed 9.3.2, Uninstalled and Reinstalled along with running a repair. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It turns out that it was the 2D graphics acceleration feature in Adobe Reader. The problems would go away when disabling the acceleration but went away when the video driver was updated. It would be easy to assume it was a problem with the original video driver, but it's not always such an open and shut case. It could be that Adobe Reader just doesn't properly identify what acceleration is supported before it tries to use it.

Opening more than one PDF file at a time causes corrupted rendering

For one of our users, opening any PDF file by itself works fine. If any PDF file is open and he tries to open a second PDF, the computer hangs for 15-30 seconds and then when a second Adobe Reader window comes up, the document display incorrectly with lots of graphical artifacts. The first PDF file opened continues to function normally. If we close Adobe Reader and open the second PDF from before, it displays normally without problem. Opening a second PDF (any PDF at all) again causes a brief hang and then it displays incorrectly.
We have tried uninstalling Adobe Reader, deleting the Adobe folders from Program Files and Program Files\Common Files, deleting the Adobe registry keys from HKCU\Software and HKLM\Software and reinstalling version 9.4 from scratch, but that has not corrected the problem. The user indicated this didn't occur in Adobe 8.x but has been a problem since updating to 9.x. I am not willing to install such an old and vulnerable version of the program on his computer just so it will work as expected. Please let me know if there are any specific causes and/or resolutions for this problem.

Can't open more than one InDesign file at a time.

InDesign CS6
Sometimes, when I try to open a second or third InDesign file I get this message:
[Cannot open "file-name.indd" please close one or more Adobe InDesign documents or books or libraries and try again]
If I close all open files, it lets me open one file.
If I quit, and restart Id, I can open more than one file for a while, then it starts to show this error message again.
Interestingly, it was doing this same behavior in Id CS 5.5.
I was hoping that upgrading to CS6 would cure it of this.
Any ideas?

As a general comment, most users don't have a problem opening multiple files, so this is probably something local on all of your systems (though not necessarilty the same thing).
Standard things to try for troubleshooting are removing all third-party plugins, including any font manager auto-activation, creating a new user account and try that, trash your prefs (see Replace Your Preferences) and start your machine with background programs disabled.

Can you open more than one ER file at a time?

I was wondering if you can open more than one file at a time in ER?
I attempted it, however, it does not appear that I can do that like other Adobe products. (If not, it would be nice to have the ability of working, or opening more than one file at time within ER.)

Thanks for the suggestion! We definitely agree that having multiple files open is a key enhancement and have it in our roadmap for future updates.

Cannot open more than one PDF at a time

Hi, when I open a PDF my laptop automatically closes any other PDF's open - I have uninstalled & reinstalled all Adobe products but still have the same issue - help!

What has changed (a few versions of Reader ago) is that instead of each PDF opening in a part of one window, Reader opens a separate window for each. (A lot of people don't like this, but it's the way Microsoft recommended at that time).
Now, each of these PDFs-in-a-window can fill the screen, or can be smaller. You can use Window > Tile for example, or resize so you have a bit of an overlap. You should also be able to choose between the different windows right in the task bar by holding down the mouse on the Adobe Reader icon.

Acrobat stop when open more then one document

Hello
when I try to open more then one PDF Acrobat hang.
I must kill the process and then I can open one PDF again.
It does not work independently I try to open the second PDF by double-click or with the menu inside Acrobat.
I use Adobe Acrobat XI (11.0.0) on a Windows 7 64-Bit system.
I try to deinstall Acrobat completly and reinstall it but without success.
I could not really say until which time it works but I know that it is working in the near past.
Can somenody tell me why it doesn´t work?
What happen? What could be the reason?

Please update the Acrobat 11 to 11.0.6 via Help -> 'Check for Updates' option and then see if issue still exist.

How to open more than one RAW-File by drag&drop/doubleclick with CS2?

Hello,
is it possible to open more than one RAW-file from iPhoto with Photoshop's RAW-converter in just one single step? If I drag&drop my selection to my Photoshop-Icon, PS opens just the iPhoto-created library-JPGs of the RAW-files but not the RAWs itself (I've turned out the copyying of the imported photos to the iPhoto-library. Instead iPhoto seems to create a JPG for the library from every RAW I import). If I doubleclick a selection of RAWs in iPhoto just the doubleclicked RAW-File will be opened in Photoshop. Is it possible to select more than one RAW-file in iPhoto and get Photoshop to open all the selected RAWs but not the JPGs? It would make my work a lot easier... thank you.

hello
try selecting the photos that you want however many- go, File then Export.
you can make all your file selections image size etc and then save them direct to your PS file.
hope this helps.

Reader X shuts down when trying to open more than one pdf, or when clicking certain categories in settings

Until a few weeks ago I have never had a problem opening more than one pdf at a time. Now Reader just shuts down when I try to do so. The same thing happens when I click on the yellow highlighted categories in settings. All the other categories open fine.
Appreciate the help of anyone who can help me solve this.

I guess you didn't know, but yes you can close more than one app at a time. You can close up to 3 apps at a time in the new IOS7 on the iPhone. Try opening at least 3 apps and then double click the main button to see what apps are opened. Then swipe to the left to see the three of them on your screen. Your not gonna see the ones on the side entirely but you can still put all three fingers on them, then simply swipe them up and it closes them up.
The thing is, when you have let say 10 apps open, and you start using this trick, some of them will stay open meaning you swiped them up to close them down but the bottom icon stays there. When you come back to your main IOS desktop and then go back to close the programs that you have opened, you can see that those apps are still opened. There is only like 2 or three out of all the 10 you had opened that stayed open, but none the less it's a bug in the system I presume.
You also asked about the icon at the bottom. When you are seeing what apps are opened, there is always a small icon at the bottom and on top you have a representation of what you were working on, and that is the part you swipe up. But often time the bottom icon will stay opened after swiping 2 or 3 of the apps to close them.

Adobe Reader XI won't open more than one PDF

The latest Adobe Reader (11.0.02) won't open more than one PDF at a time. Seems to require continual re-install for each open. And each time I install, it says the application is already present on my machine, yet I cannot find it anywhere. Any suggestions out there?
Elaine

Thanks for getting back to me, Pat. I need to go back to wherever I was and
remove the question. After I posted my question, I decided to delete all of
the Adobe applications on my computer and start overit worked.
I appreciate your concern,

How do I attach more than one PDF file to an email

How do I attach more than one PDF file to an email

You cannot do that on iOS when you are using the Share feature from Reader.

Since downloading the iOS on my iPad, I cannot download more than one pdf from mail to iBooks. I have to shut down y iPad and start again. Any suggestions?

Since downloading iOS on my new iPad, I cannot downlaod more than one pdf from mail into iBooks. I have to shut down my iPad and restart it to save a second pdf. Wasn't a problem with the old operating system. Any suggestions?

It seems that I have solved my issue by performing a full factory reset (erasing all content, something which I had hoped to avoid) restoring from an iCloud backup did not alleviate the issue, I had to set up as a new iPad.
Hopefully anyone else else who has this issue in the future will be able to find this.

After i downloaded Firefox 7, I cannot open more than one page at a time. I have done everything you suggested about ad-on, etc. Other people are having problems. Can I get reall help with this or should I just reload Firefox 4?

Firefox 7 is a dud. Cannot open more than one tab at a time, will not open additional pages. Nothing you suggested has worked.
Can I take down Firefox 7 and reload Firefox 4?

Firefox 4 is not supported, but firefox 3.6 is

There is a change to a preference which may help, post back with more details of your problems please.

Can't Open more than One Internet Browser at a Time

I bought a Toshiba laptop this past spring which I use, offline, at the office. i've had a problem with it since the day I hooked it up to the internet the first time. I can't open more than one internet browser at a time. Windows 7. I had need to get online with it today and had forgotten about this problem.
I called Toshiba and they wanted to sign me up to some fee-based service. They said, without checking anything (or even asking me who I am, or what my computer serial number is) that I had a virus. Is there a virus going around that causes this problem? IF so, how could I possibly get it considering I bought this computer in a sealed box?
My AV software does not pick up any viruses. I use Avast.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks.

There's a handy reference for keyboard shortcuts here:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Keyboard-shortcuts
That Windows key turns out to be useful, try Windows-D to show the desktop
To open a new browser window, Ctrl-n while in the browser will probably work, or it your browser supports tabs, try Ctrl-t
