How to wrangle multiple windows? (v9)

So with v9 MDI is history and I have held onto v8 as long as I could but now v9 is being forced upon me by my organisation's SOE.
The way Windows cascades newly opened windows across the screen simply isn't acceptable.
How can I force each and every new Acrobat window to open in the same screen position?

I want to add to this request because I'm suffering from the same issue.
I'm using a widescreen laptop (Win XP Pro) with an attached widescreen monitor that's in the portrait position. The first pdf file I open displays in the attached monitor which is OK. However, additional pdf files only open in the laptop window where the task and menu bars are off the top of the screen. To move these files to the external monitor, I first have to ALT-SPACE, select Move, press and hold the down arrow until the top of window appears, and then drag the window over to the external display.
Adobe, if you're monitoring this forum, please return the MDI option to Acrobat either as a preference option or the tabbed approach that FireFox uses. This capability should also be a patch to v9, not as a "new feature" for v10. If you're not going to add an MDI capability, then at least tell me how I can get a pdf file to open in the same monitor as other pdf files.

  • How to have multiple windows of same app under JSF 1.1

    I know this has been addressed in JSF 1.2, but does anyone have a good solution in JSF 1.1 concerning how to allow multiple application instances to be opened in different browser windows at the same time? I work for a large financial services company and we have multiple instances of the same application up when working with more than one customer or account at the same time.
    We�ve figured out a way to use a custom variable resolver and property resolver to provide an application instance scope that works with managed beans; however, we are struggling with how to handle the JSF component tree. We can replace the StateManager or ViewManager, but we will be running under a vendor implementation of JSF and do not want to outright replace their implementation. We wanted to simply define our own manager, decorate the viewId with additional information, and then pass it on to the default manager. The big issue is that while the restoreView methods take the viewId, the writeState methods do not. This seems like a pretty big show stopper to us. If we have to wait until JSF 1.2, it will be a long wait. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    The way I'm thinking of doing this is to use nested beans. So for example, I'd have an "AccountBean" written as a JSF managed bean, but this is not what I'd declare in faces-config. Instead, I'd have an "AccountMgr":
    <managed-bean>
    <managed-bean-name>acctMgr</managed-bean-name>
    <managed-bean-class>AccountManager</managed-bean-class>
    </managed-bean>AccountManager would have a map of AccountBean objects. In my pages, I'd reference the acctMgr:
    #{acctMgr.accts[acctEditor.acctId].firstName}If anyone has a better idea, I'd love to hear about it.

  • How to stop multiple windows being opend when searching CCM 2.0 catalog

    Hi There,
    When one accesses the catalogue using the SHOP - CATALOG<link>, a new window is opened. If after searching a list of items is displayed in yet another window!. How can we prevent mulitple windows being opened?
    Also we have noticed that if we search the catalogue and add items to our shopping cart, when you go back to search the catalog, the last list of items is presented again. Is it possible to always display the "main" catalog page and not the last list of searched/found items?
    Regards,

    Hi Grace,
    I can help you partially.
    I think both of your problems are related to diff parameters of Integrated call structure which we define in
    SRM IMG->SRM->SRM server->cross applns->Master data->Define external web services.
    self service procurement config guide talks in detail how to maintain this integrated call structure.

  • How to use multiple Windows in a module in oracle forms

    Hi,
       I am new in oracle forms.I am using oracle forms 11g with weblogic server 10.3.5 at windows7.I have 2 canvases say CNVS1 & CNVS2 and two windows as Window1 & Window2.
    CNVS1 is attached with Window1 and having BL datablock.
    CNVS2 is associated with Window2 and having emp datablock.
    In navigation object window there is BL datablock before Emp datablock.
    When I run this module:I got only CNVS1 canvas at window1,If I click at Window2 from menu then Window2 Comes with empty, there is no any canvas(CNVS2) at window2.Please let me know what is wrong here.
    Thank You
    regards
    aaditya

    Hi Aditya,
    Just user Show_view('Your Canvas Name');
    If you have separate datablock for each of your canvases then you can use
    GO_BLOCK('');
    GO_ITEM('');
    Hope this will help you,
    Regards,

  • How to stop multiple windows in foxfire

    Sorry if this is in the wrong category, but didn't see anywhere else to ask it.
    I recently bookmarked some a few new pages. When I select them form the bookmark tool bar the cone up in a side window which I can't seen to enlarge to full screen. When I try to drag the right side line nothing happens. I even re- bookmarked the address and it still comes up as a small view using about 1/4 the screen. Thanks in advance.

    If your problem is in Firefox, it might be better to seek support in the Firefox forums. The forums here are hosted by Apple and really only for support of Apple-branded hardware and software.

  • How can I have multiple WINDOWS (NOT tabs) with INDEPENDENT content?

    How can I have multiple '''windows''' (''not ''tabs) with '''independent''' content?
    I used to be able to open separate windows with Firefox, and the content could be completely different in each window. No matter what I did in any window, no OTHER window open at the time, nor any of the content therein, was affected. This is no longer the case and it is extremely frustrating for me.
    I do ''not ''like tabs and do not use them. I prefer multiple windows plus I am so used to using them, for so many years now! But with v9.0.1 I suddenly can no longer do what I've always done with my browser without this aggravating problem constantly reminding me that I can't have what I want in firefox anymore.
    Or can I? Does anyone have a solution I don't realize exists?
    Thanks,
    Sowelu

    AppleScriptObjC can use pretty much everything in the Cocoa API, so yes, it is possible.
    Note that a view is not the same as a window, and a window can have multiple views. There are also many ways to implement "tabs";  take a look at some of Apple's applications - they use various mixtures of toolbars, checkboxes, and radio buttons, for example.  An application such as this will be a lot more involved than what you have done so far though, using custom classes and subclassing existing ones, so be prepared to do a lot of reading and researching.

  • How can I switch between multiple windows of the same application (e.g. Safari) over several desktops ?

    Hi All,
    I have one application, for example safari, open and running with multiple windows (with or without tabs) spread over several desktops.
    How can I switch between the windows only via keyboard? CMD+> and CMD+< let me only swicht between windows open on the one desktop I am currently looking at.
    thanks for your replies,
    equi

    Barney,
    many thanks for your efforts and your time (preparing and posting the screenshot, answering to this question,...).
    Unfortunately, moving the focus to the next window only works with windows on the same desktop.
    btw, using a german keyboard layout and german language settings the shortcut is "cmd+<".
    I can switch with this shortcut between different windows of my Safari which reside on the same desktop, but I cannot swith between different safari windows distributed over several desktops.
    Thanks,

    since installing the latest version... when I open a new window it opens everything I have minimized too... very annoying. How can I fix this, I minimize to go back to a window not have multiple windows open.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == after installed last version...

    Well, then isn't there some way to induce Firefox to give Windows parameters that make it open the fershlugginer window in the *same* position, instead of an offset position?

  • Firefox 4 opens multiple windows. Have tried every suggestion to fix but does not help. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I am a developer. Not sure if it was a programming thing or not but now FF 4.0.1 constantly opens up multiple windows each time I open it. Sometime around 3-4 and other times about 15 to 20 windows. I have searched your KB and Google and have tried every recommended fix but nothing helps. I am not infected, no malware and everything else is fine. I will provide remote access to my system via TeamViewer (or your option) if someone can please identify the problem or provide new details on how to troubleshoot this. I will have to find a new browser soon if this is not resolved. Many folks are suffering due to this...not just me.

    This shit remains in Firefox 5. Nothing's changed.
    Mozilla began to venture releasing a defective commodity.

  • 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.

    The red, green and yellow buttons in the upper left corner of the screen disappear whenever I open Safari.  I cannot minimize the Safari window which I often need to do if I am coordinating multiple windows between different applications.  Does anyone know how to get those buttons back?  I guess I could just switch betwen appliations, but I am used to doing it the other way.

  • How is it best to develope a multiple window (front panel) application in LabVIEW?

    I have only been using LabVIEW for a couple months so keep this in mind while I ask this question.
    I have been testing out multiple ways of developing a application using multiple windows and passing data between them, in LabVIEW. I am not sure how to best do this. First (See attached TestApp1.0) I used the Open VI.vi to open and close the VIs as I wanted to use them. This worked well I could have multiple windows open at once and could easily pass data to them by simply laying the VI in the main while loop. The draw back was it required polling and lots of extra logic to open and close the different VIs.
    Next I used the event loop ( see TestApp2.0)and eliminat
    ed the use of Open VI by simply laying the VIs into the event loop and selecting them to display front panel when called. The draw back to this was I could only have one window opened at a time, and since I had to put the SubVIs in loops I could not pass data easily from another form to it while it was running.
    Finally, I have seen examples using a VI server. This looks much more complex and I am not sure if it would be worth the time figuring it out.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for what the best way to design this type of application is? Am I missing something?

    Hello NIBOUND,
    I looked into your "Method 1"-files. That's roughly
    the way I would do this, but I changed the files a
    little bit.
    The subform2 (input of data) is now only called when
    the user wants to input some data. I changed the
    window setting to "Open when called" and "Close after
    run". The other vi subform1 runs the whole time in
    your main loop. Is this wanted? If not, then you can
    change it to the same behaviour as subform2...
    Best regards
