Dual Monitors - Open All PDFs on the same monitor

I use Adobe Acrobat Reader with Windows 7 and a dual monitor set-up.
When I open a single PDF, without any other PDFs open, Reader will open it on my secondary monitor. This is fine, as that's where I prefer it to open.
However, when I open any further PDFs (with the first PDF still open), they always open on my primary monitor, which is particularly irritating.
How can I force Reader to always open every PDF in my secondary monitor by default?

I agree completely! I have a similar problem, only I can't get my PDF files to open on the main monitor. It continues to open in the secondary monitor. It used to allow me to choose which monitor to always open the file in, but now I guess with Adobe updates or changes, it's messed up and won't open in the main monitor. If Adobe doesn't support dual monitors (which almost everyone uses today both at home and in businesses) then why wouldn't it open in the main monitor? Adobe really needs to update its programs and get current with the times.

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 several PDFs in the same Reader window using tabs for each document

How do I open several PDFs in the same Reader window using tabs for each document? I'm using Reader 11.0.03 and Windows 7.

That would be a nice feature! Suggest it at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform - hopefully it will make it into Reader XII.

Yosemite: preview opens all pdf's in same window even after setting change

After upgrading to Yosemite, Preview always opens new pdf's in prior window with sidebar including other documents. I have changed the setting "when opening new files" to "open each file in its own window" and restarted the program and the computer more than once since. No fix.
This is extremely irritating and creates an extra step of me having to double click the new document each time it is opened in order for it to open in its own window as the settings already dictate.
This affects my workflow and is a real nuisance, thanks in advance for any guidance.

It's controlled by a global setting in System Preferences -> General "Restore windows when quiting and re-opening apps. Uncheck it.

Making "Properties bar" active in all opened documents OR opening multiple documents in the same win

Adobe Acrobat Pro. / Extended version 9
OS: Windows XP SP3
Hi & thanks for your services.
In acrobat 8 we could open >1 pdf in the same window; this is not available for V.9 & the problem is that full editing is possible ONLY in the window opened last because "properties bar" is not active in other windows but the last one.
So please let us open more than one pdf in the same window for acrobat 9, or make full editing (active "properties bar") available in all opened windows.
I shall also say that generally V.9 is better & more stable than V.8.
With great appreciations.

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:

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.

My family shares one apple id. Is there any way to make an apple id for each member of my family and have it all connected to the same credit card and have the same previous downloads open to download by signing in to each members personal apple id?

My family shares one apple id. Is there any way to make an apple id for each member of my family and have it all connected to the same credit card and have the same previous downloads open to download by signing in to each members personal apple id?

Hi cindy,
If you all have individual Apple IDs, then you would be able to dowload music from a shared iTunes library on a computer, but you would not be able to sign on each individual ID on an iOS device in order to download music purchased under the original Apple ID without a 90-day waiting period between sign-ons.
Here's what I mean:
If you were to sign on a new Apple ID on, say, an iPhone, and then were to purchase and download some music from iTunes, then you would have to wait 90 days before you could sign on the old Apple ID to that iPhone in order to download previously purchased material (and vice versa).
However, if all of the music purchased by that origjnal Apple ID is in an iTunes library on a shared computer, then you can hook up the device and selectively sync any music in that library to the device. You can also sign on any of the Apple IDs to that shared iTunes library and purchase music to be added to the library.
You would need to authorize the computer for each of the new Apple IDs.
Each of the Apple IDs would also be able to download that music purchased either by syncing to the iTunes library on the computer or by downloading it OTA on the device.
So, each Apple ID can download music, movies, etc. purchased with that Apple ID OTA to the device. Also each Apple ID can sync any music, movies, etc. that are in the iTunes library on the computer regardless of who purchased them.
The only other thing you would need to remember is that if an App needed to be updated, then the original Apple ID that was used to purchase that App would come up, and the password that goes with that Apple ID would be required to do the update.
Hope that helps,
GB

Acrobat does not opens a PDF in the Browser at all times

Required:
I need to ensure Acrobat opens a PDF in the Browser at all times, and not have Reader hijack the task. All fixes for this I have found won’t work as they render Reader inoperable. i.e. uninstalling Reader or denying users to the Reader executable AcroRd32.exe
Situation:
I have a problem with Adobe Reader and Acrobat Standard 8.2.5. This is on a Terminal Server 2003 with 10 users. They require both Acrobat and Reader be accessible due to specific 3rd party applications related to banking software.
Problem:
They must open PDFs in a browser with Acrobat so they may fill the forms and save them. Acrobat doesn’t consistently open the file; Reader hijacks the file when clicked to open and their ability to fill the forms is hindered.
- Open PDF in browser is checked in Acrobat
- Open PDF in browser is NOT checked in Reader
Sometimes when the Acrobat desktop icon is clicked, Reader opens instead. Having Acrobat open in the background does help but is not consistent.
Also uninstalling Reader from the Server is unacceptable due to a 3rd party banking application for loans. This application is hard coded to open AcroRd32.exe within the application for opening PDFs.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a way to sort a PDF file with multiple pages by a specific field within the PDF? All pages have the same invoice format and i would like to sort by a field within and then print the documents. (Vendor, PO#, Date, ect.)

When you say field, do you mean specifically a form field, such as a text field? Or is the information regular text on the page?

Opening .pdfs in the same window/tab.

I look at a lot of .pdfs (Journal Articles) in my browse. Generally, I only download a fraction of the ones I look at. Recently, Firefox has stopped opening .pdfs in the same window/tab. Instead, it prompts me to download every .pdf I want to look at. I then have to save them, open them on my desktop, look at them, and then delete the ones I do not want to keep. Does anyone know how to get Firefox 10.0.2 to start opening .pdfs in the same window/tab again?

Hi Hawaiian_Starman,
Thank you for the suggestion.
I ran the first aid in the Keychain both for verification and for repair and both immediately returned with "no problems found".
As for the certificate, according the web administrator nothing had changed for the certificates.
even on the windows laptop I also get the certificate as being expired, but by simply accepting that I still have access.
I had a pop up every time that alerted me to the certificate issue, but whether I "continued" or not that still did not matter.
Yesterday, in an effort to find a solution, I went into the "details" and entered to trust this website.
Now that certificate issue does not pop up anymore. But I do not know how to reverse that either.
I have the feeling indeed it has something to do with a certificate, but how is the question.

Using OpenDoc to open a pdf in the exisiting window

I figured out the syntax for opening a document in the same folder with no path. But it opens it in a new window. I would really like it to open in the same window as my original document, just like it would if I were to use the "open a file" command and select "existing window". The reason I'm not just doing that is because I have to create ALOT of PDFs with links to each other and when I copy a control between PDFs it doesn't bring over the actions for the control except for javascript. If I use javascript, its easy for me to just change one or two names of the file references rather than having to renavigate to all the files I'm linking when I start a new document.
This is my basic code to open a file:
app.openDoc("TemplateTest1.pdf", this);
Its placed on the mouse up event of a control. I thought the "this" part meant this window but I guess it doesn't since it opens the file in a new window.
The final version of this document will be accessed via internet explorer on a corporate intranet. when I open the document in internet explorer and execute the openDoc script, it opens the acrobat application as a new window while the original document remains in internet explorer. I want the new document, which is saved in the same location as the original, to replace the original document in internet explorer. I have done this before via bookmarks by assigning an open file action and specifying it to open in the existing window. I just dont know how to specify that instruction in javascipt.
Or if for some reason this isn't possible. Can I use the javascript to redirect internet explorer's address to the new document? If I do it this way I will need to get the address and then replace the exisiting file name with the new file name I want to link to. Is this possible. I'm interested in learning about both methods.
Sorry If Its rediculously basic. I am just learning javascript specifically for this PDF project.

Everything I've read about hostContainer both in the JS documentation and through examples other users have provided indicate that it is mainly used when a PDF is embedded in some other document such as an html web page and you need to communicate between the pdf and the hostContainer the examples i've seen seem to indicate that the hostContainer is the web page itself and not the browser. My document isn't embedded in a web page, it is simply open using the browser's pdf plug-in. I've seen another example where someone tried to user app.LaunchURL("www.mywebpage.com/mydocument.pdf"). I tried this aslo but I get the error "Security settings prevent access to this property or method." All I want is for a new pdf document to be loaded in the same window when the user clicks a button. I've done this with no problem before when I used the "open a file" action on bookmarks created for each of the PDFs. And when I set the action I specified "open in existing window". The actions worked correctly whether the pdf was open in Acrobat Professional, Acrobat Reader, or a Web Browser. Isn't there an acrobat javascript that does the same thing? When I did this before I used bookmarks and then used batch processing to add the bookmarks to all of the PDFs so I wouldnt have to recreate them in each one. This time I want to use buttons to have more screen real-estate and to better control the visual appearance. I know I could still use the "open a file" action wth a button, I was just hoping there was a javascript alternative so I could have more control over it.

Subject: WHEN I TRY TO OPEN A PDF FILE, THE READER OPENS HUNDREDS OF MULTIPLE BLANK PAGES .
Something is definitely wrong with your install of Reader.
A PDF consists of only the number of pages it was created with. Reader can and will only open those pages... IF it's installed and working properly.
Opening multiple blank pages from a document which contains none is a clear sign that the software isn't functioning. It's like putting a movie into a DVD player, and your TV starts a picture slide show of your last Summer's vacation. Not possible unless there's something seriously wrong.
Uninstall Reader 9.
Use either Adobe's clean uninstaller or Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2. exe) to remove all Reader installer files from your system.
Reinstall Reader 9 from a new download (do not use the old one if you still have it on your system)

[CS3] [JS] Export PDF to the same folder as the InDesign file

Hi,
I have written a JavaScript to export an InDesign file to a PDF file.
The exporting works fine when exporting to a specific folder, but I want the script to export the PDF to the SAME folder as the InDesign file.
For example, if the Indesign file is in a folder called "Owner's Manuals", I want the script to save the PDF into the same "Owner's Manuals" folder.
At the moment I have:
var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog ('Choose a Folder');
but this dialog defaults to the Desktop every time, forcing me to click 6-7 times to locate the relevant folder where I want the PDF to be saved, which is a waste of time.
I want the script to do something like the following:
"Find out the location of this InDesign file, and export the PDF to the same folder"
I have searched this forum, as well as the Scripting Reference, but without any luck.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi
Please another another one time check it out..
//Do not open the PDF Export dialog box. Set "false" to "true" if you want the dialog box.
myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, myFile, false, "Press Quality");
Instead I used
var ExPDFs= File(Final+myBaseName + ".pdf");
pdfPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item("Sample");
myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, ExPDFs, false, pdfPreset);
Here I think u made mistake in "pdfPreset " passing argument...
I used Sample -> PDF Preset name, but u passing PDF Preset is directly [Press Quality]... thats all.
Then how come u say this script is not working....like that?.
I used this script in my Projects U know?.
Please try to reveal and check throughly after that U say the word "Thanks for your suggestion, but it did not work."
OK.
