How do I open multiple documents at a time?

In Adobe reader for Windows 8, whenever I have a document open and then double click on another document to open it, the new document just replaces the old one in the Adobe reader window. How do I open up both documents at once in order to view them side by side? I can workaround this problem by using other programs but it would be nice if there was a way to have both documents open in Adobe reader.

If you have full Windows 8, you can use the regular Windows version of Adobe Reader, which is much more capable.

How do I scan multiple documents to a single pdf from the ADF on my MX922?

How do I scan multiple documents to a single pdf from the ADF on my MX922?
Solved!

Hi Riceburner1,
Since you have had difficulty scanning using My Image Garden, you can scan using the IJ Scan Utility program that also comes with the printer. To do this, please follow these steps:
1. Place the documents in the ADF or on the platen glass of the printer.
2. Start the IJ Scan Utility.
For Windows 8.1:
1. On your keyboard, press the Windows key.
2. Start typing IJ SCAN UTILITY. The search window opens as you type. Once the IJ SCAN UTILITY is displayed, please select and open it, then continue with Step 3 below.
For Windows XP:
1. Go to your START MENU, then select ALL PROGRAMS, then CANON UTILITIES, then the IJ SCAN UTILITY program.
2. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears. Please continue with Step 3 below.
3. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears.
4. Click the DOCUMENT SCAN option on the left pane of the window. In the Select Source field of the Scan Options section, select DOCUMENT (ADF/PLATEN) to scan items placed directly on the platen glass, DOCUMENT (ADF SIMPLEX) to perform single-sided scanning from the ADF, or DOCUMENT (ADF DUPLEX) to perform double-sided scanning using the ADF. You can then set the item size, resolution, etc. in the Scan Options section as desired.
5. In the SAVE SETTINGS section of the window, you will select the save format and location of the document you are about to scan.
a.) In the FILE NAME field, specify the name you would like to give the file. By default the filename will begin with IMG; you can remove IMG and change it to whatever you would like to name the file. Please note that the filename that you give the document here will be the default filename for all items scanned until you change the file name. If you leave the file name the same in the field, the scanned item will have a sequential number appended to the end of whatever name you give it.
b.) In the DATA FORMAT field, use the drop-down arrow to select the desired option. If you are scanning a multipage document, select the PDF (Multiple Pages) option.
c.) In the SAVE IN field, please navigate to the area where you would like the file to be saved once it is scanned in. By default, the file will be saved in the MY DOCUMENTS folder.
6. In the APPLICATION SETTINGS section of the window, please select the DO NOT START ANY APPLICATION option.
7. Once all settings have been selected, click the OK button at the bottom of the SETTINGS (DOCUMENT SCAN) window. The IJ Scan Utility main screen appears.
8. Click the DOCUMENT button. Scanning starts. Click the CANCEL button to cancel scanning if needed. Once the scan is completed, scanned images are saved in the previously selected folder location specified in the SETTINGS... window.
Hope this helps!

Opening multiple documents

I'm experiencing a strange and intermittent problem when I try to open multiple documents from the Finder. If I select a number of items and try to open them all at once, sometimes only some of the documents open.
Just now, I attempted to open 15 documents in Dreamweaver and only nine opened. The only commonality I could find is the modification date: the ones that opened were all modified yesterday at 4:02pm or earlier, while the six that didn't open were modified 4:08 or later. When I select any or all of those six, only the most-recently modified opens. Same behavior regardless of how I try to open them: multiple-select and (1) double-click, (2) drag all to Dock icon, (3) right-click and Open/Open with...
When it happens, I usually work around it by using the applications Open dialog and selecting the items there. It's been happening for weeks/months (possibly since upgrading to 10.6.4?), and I've just lived with it, but it's becoming frustrating; for instance, if I want to do a batch automated task in Photoshop or a search-and-replace in Dreamweaver in all open documents...only to discover that not all of my documents were open.
Thanks in advance.

Does this behavior occur with Mac applications, or only Adobe apps?

How do you highlight multiple documents rapidly, rather than having to click on the document and on "command" one at a time?

How do you highlight multiple documents rapidly, rather than having to click on the document and on "command" one at a time? Right now, when I'm trying to highlight documents to export, I have to click on each document individually. Is there a way to highlight one document while scrolling down the list until all desired documents are highlighted? I would like to rapidly be able to do this to save time when I am exporting or saving multiple files from my documents to an external drive, CD-Rom or cloud storage.

Click on the first item
Hold the Shift key
Click on the Last Item.
All the items in between will be selected.

How do I open multiple windows?

Tho old view of several thumbnails has been replaced by tabs. There is no way to view the thumbnails in Safari under iOS 5. Try looking at some alternate browsers in the app store to see if any of those might suit your wants a little better.

Opening multiple document in single instance (window)

Someone here mentioned this: "Acrobat 9 no longer supports opening multiple documents in the same window."
This is disappointing.. does anyone know the workaround / hack?
Running Acrobat 9 Standard.
Thanks,
Devin

Unfortunately yes you're correct. The cause was due to no MDI support, which Adobe removed starting at v9.

If I find a workaround worth mentioning, I'll post it here later.
Thanks.

How can I open a document created in Classic on MacOS X? When I tried to open it, it says Classic Not Supported. What do I do?

How can I open a document created in Classic on MacOS X? When I tried to open it, it says Classic Not Supported. What do I do?

The short answer is:
Single click on the document you created in Classic, bring up your 'popup' menu (right click or control-click), select 'Open With' and choose the Mac OS X application you believe will open the document.
If this does not work. Tell us which Classic application you created the document with and which applications you have which you believe will open your 'classic' document.

How do i open multiple windows in itunes 11?

how do i open multiple windows in itunes 11?

At the Entourage menu bar, go to File > New and select Open New Main Window. You can open an additional two main windows and select the Address Book for one and the Calendar for the other.
To navigate to a different window, at the menu bar go to Window and select Mail, Address Book or Calendar.
The Mail.app does not incorporate all 3 applications. You can have the Mail.app, Address Book and iCal launched and running and select between each from the Dock along with other ways to do so. The Mail.app also includes an Address Book panel to view all Address Book contacts or to select from when addressing a message. You can't add to, delete or edit contacts from the Mail.app Address Book panel.

How do I open multiple PDF windows on microsoft Surface?

How do I open multiple windows on microsoft Surface? I'm a grad student and would like to have multiple PDF windows open or availible while I use Microsoft Word. Is this possible?

Other user asked a similar question a couple days ago - except the question was in French and the other app was Microsoft Excel (not Word).
Please see the option (b) for running two apps side by side in this post.

It may not be an ideal solution for you. But this may be the only option you have if your device is running the Windows RT operating system. You can install Adobe Reader XI (desktop app) if your device is running the Windows 8 operating system.

Indesign CS6 crashes when opening multiple documents

Only recently, Indesign has started crashing when I open multiple documents.
Nothing new has been installed on the computer as far as I know.
I've tried trashing the preferences, accessing the files locally, wiping the computer and diaognosing the iMac hardware... without success.
It's slightly more stable, as in it doesn't crash everytime now but instead more randomly than before.
Program has never crashed with one document open.
Interesting thing is if several files are open, then I close then individually, then close down fine. If I try to quit and close all of them in one go, Indesign crashes.
Also occasionally has problems displaying links, eg. displays a grey box instead of an eps file.
I have several crash log files in case someone is able to decipher them.

1. Is there any reason to use eps? Avoid it use AI, PSD or PDF instead.
2. Are all used fonts ok? What kind of fonts du you use?
3. Which Mac OS X do you use?
Does it crash with alwayst the same files?
What does the file history tell you? Hold down the command key and got to InDesign > About InDesign… Does it tell you somewhat more specific, like missing plugins, severly damaged files and restored files, when (in which version) the files have been created first (helps often to export to IDML and open this again and save it as INDD and work with the new file.), has the problematic file been converted from another application (Quark Xpress or PageMaker), etc.
