Documents open in separate Acrobat Window  Acrobat 9 Pro

When I open multiple documents in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, each opens in a separate window.
In Acrobat 6 Pro, all files opened in the same window, & I could select which was displayed in the 'window' menu, or I could cascade or tile the documents.
Can Acrobat 9 be configured to open multiple documents without opening separate windows for each? If so, can it be easily switched back & forth?
Thanks in advance,
Norm

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:

  • Why is Firefox opening a separate browser window for each link instead of a new tab in the current browser window?

    Suddenly firefox has started opening a new, separate browser window for every link and thing I open. It used to just open a new tab in the current browser. I must have closed down 15 browsers when trying to get back to a previous web page - the back button doesn't work when each click leads to a new window opening! I went into options and my settings have not changed, they still say "open new tab" for links. This just started happening out of the blue today. What's up?

    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).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • How to open a separate browser window from Captivate 2.0

    Hello Captivators,
    Thanks for a very responsive forum. I participate in an Adobe
    Flash forum as well and never get a response to any questions.
    I would like to know if I can open a new browser window in
    from a Captivate presentation, without killing the Captivate
    session.
    Thanks,
    eholz1

    You can, but without creating a custom widget in Flash, the
    user must click to make it happen.
    The easiest way is to add a button to your slide and in the
    button properties:
    On success: Open URL or file
    URL: <enter the URL to open>
    URL Window (down arrow button to the right of the URL field):
    New
    If you don't want the slide to remain paused after the user
    clicks, deselect the Continue playing project option at the bottom
    of the URL Window dropdown.

  • Pdf link dont work if document open in separate Acrobat window in internet explorer

    Hi,
    We have many pdf with different links between this pdf. The link type is "Open a file".
    - If the fist pdf document is open from hard drive this links works perfectly.
    - If the pdf document is open from the web site (http://website/doc1.pdf) and adobe reader is configured to open pdf in internet explorer it work also.
    - But if the reader is configured to open pdf in a external window this link dont work. The link try to open the second pdf in c://Internet Temporary Folder/ as root instead of http://website/
    Does anyone know a workaround ? I don't know if my customers have configured the reader to open in internet explorer or in a external windows...
    Thanks for help !

    If web browser integration is turned off, it really is turned off.
    Adobe Reader simply becomes a "helper" application. The browser
    downloads the file, puts it somewhere, and runs Adobe Reader. Adobe
    Reader is not told anything special about the file and its origins, so
    it cannot know that this was (before the download) a web file, or
    where it came from.
    A URL link might be the answer.

  • 10.9.2 - New Documents open to a search window . . .

    After upgrading to 10.9.2, every time I open Pages, TextEdit, etc . . . I get a this annoying window that is a hybrid Finder / Search window. I have to either search for an existing document, press "done" in the bottom right, or "New Document" in the bottom left. This is super redundent as choosing New Document often taks you to the app's template chooser or done will guess what kind of document format I want, forcing me to go back to the template chooser anyway. It is an annoying distribution to my work flow. How do you disable this new unwelcomed feature?

    I think I have this solved. I turned off File Sharing on both computers, rebooted, and turned file sharing back on.  Now Hubby's Mac can open My Mac's files. 

  • CS 4 InDesign Document opening full size of window

    I upgraded to CS 4 on one machine. Now whenever I open any document, new or old, even if saved, the document won't open to my working area but goes the whole width of the screen including under my palettes. I've tried to save but every time I open, it opens the whole way so I have to readjust every time I open any document and I work on many through the day. Is there a way in CS 4 to get it to only open to where you saved it? Thanks.

    I have the same problem as the original poster here, having just upgraded to CS4.
    I have no wish to use "application frames." The links to a script mentioned here and elsewhere are all dead.
    Anyone have a good link for the script? Or other ideas?
    Thanks,
    Mik

  • Internet Explorer 11 not opening, says appcrash. Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

    Hi There
    I am running Win 7 Pro 64bit and Internet explorer 11. I keep getting add ons disabled and explorer doesn't want to open. When I view the problem I see APPCRASH iexplore.exe. What is this. I have tried everything.

    When I view the problem I see APPCRASH iexplore.exe.
    tried re-installing Explorer 11
    There are usually two parts to a crash signature.  The most significant one would be the crashing module.  iexplore.exe is just the crashing application.  However, unless the crashing module is an unusual one, e.g. third-party extension,
    you are probably going to have to get a dump and look at the Stack Back Trace of the crashing thread, e.g. using windbg.
    tried re-installing Explorer 11
    A better alternative to trying that would be to start IE in No Add-ons mode and see if your symptom changes.  E.g. Run... (press Win-R and enter:)
    iexplore.exe  -nohome  -extoff
    The  -nohome  should open IE and hold it open one step earlier than where you could start seeing the message about No Add-ons.  If that stays open, to proceed you may have to use the Stop command, e.g. press Alt-V p.

  • Some Media Card folders within 'documents​' folder not visible in Windows XP Pro SP3

    I have tried renaming these folders on the device (eliminating '.'s and generally shortening the folder names) and then connecting to a Windows machine again afterwards, however, I have two problematic folders (within the 'documents' folder) that are still not visible in Windows.
    One thing that is kind of troubling is that I thought I noticed that when I was moving files out of the 'documents' root directory (only place I can put files from the Windows machine [while connected] because I can't see the target folders in Windows) on the device to one of the problematic folders (again, because I cannot accomplish this in Windows), the original full-length folder name was still being referenced in the path displayed in the intermediate confirmation dialog.
    Does it matter whether the folders are created within the (connected to) Windows environment or done on the device?  Are there folder name length considerations or illegal characters?
    I have created (in the Windows environment, while connected) some rather long folder names (including ''' & '.' characters) within the 'pictures' directory and have no trouble seeing them later in Windows.
    What could be going on here?
    Thanks, FFF

  • When interactive pdf opens in browser window can the pdf links open in separate windows

    Problem is the pdf works ok when it opens in the browser window, BUT the links in the pdf don't open in separate browser windows, as they do when the pdf is downloaded as a file.
    If pdf links can only open in separate browser window when the pdf itself opens as a separate file, the how do I email a pdf download link on a website.

    Hello Yesh,
    you can open PDFs as a guest user (without authentification):
    1. Allow Guest Access (Admin -> Security Configuration -> Check "Allow Guest Access" and select a folder name).
    2. Copy your Report into this guest folder
    3. You can open the Report as PDF with a link like this:
    http://(bip-server-name):9704/xmlpserver/(guest-folder-name)/(report-name)/(report-name).xdo?_xpt=0&_xf=pdf&_xmode=4(&report-parameters)
    Just replace the strings in brackets. You find a great description of the URL parameters in Tim Dexters Blog
    http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2006/07/accessing_xmlp_enterprise_repo.html
    I didn't find an option to set the height of the PDF-Output for the guest user in the BIP-UI. Maybe I missed something. But you can manually edit the configuration file. It is located on your BIP server direcory in the subdirectory xmlp/XMLP/Users. Select the guest users subdirectory and edit the configuration file "user~.profile".
    In this XML config file there is an entry "viewerHeight". In the Value-Tag you can enter the PDF output windows height in pixel (but unfortunaly not in % - this was the question of my original posting).
    Hope that helps...

  • 2 simple questions about opening and closing seperate windows via iWeb...

    I'm a web newbie, so please excuse me for my lack of terminology. My questions are... 1. How do i have iWeb open a separate browser window "simultaneously" from my main page to display a quicktime movie or piece of artwork? 2. Is it possible with iWeb to create a "close" window button within that same seperate window so that the veiwer does not have to click the red button in the upper left hand corner. Thanks guys and girls!

    Sorry! i meant I tried all of the links that are on your web page. There are quite a few of them and I watched most of the movies but there aren't any that open on a new window with a link to close it. I thought that happened because I had a pop-up blocker but even after dissabling the blocker and trying opening some of them again they still opened in the same window. I did come accross a couple of links that changed the window and made it do wacky thinks like moving fast left and right and forcing the window to get smaller. Kinda fun but this is not what I had in mind.. lol The rollover javascript is nice but I couldn't find it on the page's source. Is it the part that says "<script language="JavaScript1.2" src=..."? I'm just curious to know which software you used to make the flash movies and how difficult it was. Maya rocks by the way!

  • Documents open "small" in newest version of Pages 5.5.2

    I just noticed this in the most recent version of Pages and it's making working with old documents...tedious.
    Instead of opening in the view size that I had closed them as, all existing Pages documents open in the same window dimensions, so I have to readjust the window dimensions of each document. This didn't happen previously.
    How can I get all documents (existing docs) to open, say, in a specific windows dimension, magnification, and ideally, the same (or nicely overlapping) place on my monitor screen?
