Multiple Documents in Same Window

I hate bothering people with such a trivial question, but this is driving me nuts...
I had been using Acrobat 9.0 Std and opening several documents within the same window, and toggling thru the docs using Ctrl+Tab. Somehow, something changed and now each doc opens in its own window and to switch between docs, I have to use the Windows cmd: Alt+Tab. On at least three separate occasions, I've tried to find an Acrobat setting to get things back to the way they were, but I can't seem to find one.
Can anyone help me with this trivial little problem?
Thanks ahead of time.

Well it must be that I'm losin' my marbles... 'cuz the About info says it's 9.1.2.
You sound more confident than I... so I'm goin' with the lost marbles hypothesis.
Thx again... --JM
Actually... another theory... this is a work computer and I don't manage it. Perhaps I was using 8.x and the I/T people upgraded it to 9.x. Just a thought.

Open documents in same window (Adobe Reader 9)

Dear forum,
I would like to set up Adobe Reader 9, that it opens all documents in the same window. This is much easier to handle, when you have multiple documents opened.
Does anybody know how to set up Adobe Reader 9 in this manner ?
Thanks for your answers,
Theklum

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:

Acrobat 9 Pro: Open all documents in same window - don't want!!

In Acrobat 7 there was a setting under
Edit/Preferences/Documents that said "Show each document in its own window"
I had this unchecked.
I can't find this setting in 9, there is no such option (at least what I can find). I don't want all documents in separate windows, I want them in the same window! How do I fix that??

But that's just plain stupid! I don't want 20 windows open when I drag 20 files into Acrobat for printing. I just want one.
I wonder why they have done it like this.
There are a lot of things missing from Acrobat 7 that I wish they hadn't removed. I thought upgrades was supposed to make a program better, not worse! Now I have to find work-arounds for a lot of things that was easy before and now doesn't work at all or works but takes a lot of time to do.

Hi there,
we had the same issue - I opened an OSS and got following reply :
<i>
<b>08.03.2007 - 12:45:49 CET SAP Reply</b>
I have checked from my development colleague and confirmed that
this parameter is not supported currently and development has recently
no plans to support this feature.
I apologize for the inconvenience caused here.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Best Regards

Can you believe this ? I don't, as this parameter has been around since SP12 or so and still there is no official note regarding this issue.

BI 10g multiple installation on same windows machine

Hi All,
I have a requirement where in I want to install OBIEE 10g twice on the same windows server. Can we achieve this by installing it the second time as another OS User? What are the steps that we need to follow in this scenario?
Most importantly, Is this approach supported by Oracle?
Thank you so much,
Krishi

Hi Krishi,
Yes, I think we can install OBIEE 10g on the same windows box multiple times. However, there is some manual effort needed to change the port numbers of each NQServer, sawserver, javahost,oc4j instances to resolve port conflicts.
I do not remember oracle saying that this kind of design is not supported though.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar

Multiple Documents in Single Window in Preview

I mostly use Preview.app (on Lion 10.7.3) to read and annotate relatively large pdf documents (articles, reports, etc.). While working on a given project I tend to have many pdf files open at the same time. I personally would like to have all of the pdfs I use open in a single window, so I have Preview set to "Open all files in one window" (Preferences > General). This setup initially worked very well since it allows me view all of my open documents in the sidebar (similar to tabs in a browser window). The problem is that when I switch from one pdf to another, the position of the pdfs (i.e., the page I was on when I switched to another pdf) is not preserved. This seemingly defeats the purpose of having this functionality in Preview, so I have a few questions I'm hoping someone can help me with.
First, is this the intended behavior of this setting, or is this a bug? In either case, is anyone aware of a fix for this? I just want the documents I'm reading to preserve their positions when switching between them when opened in a single window.

Thanks, very helpful tip indeed. Lets just say Ive opened 5 pdfs in preview simultaneously and I wanted to add another pdf to the 5, how do I do this? I'm sure there must be a way.
Thanks
Edit: I've now found out how to do this:
Add files to an existing window
Choose View > Thumbnails.
Drag the files to the window’s sidebar.
Thanks

"Open documents in same window" option--gone in v.9 Pro?

I always preferred to have all my documents open in Acrobat 8 Pro. Now my new upgrade to Acrobat 9 Pro, they all open in their own window. Oddly, the setting to stop this from happening and force a single-window opening does not seem to exist any more.
Am I missing something? is there a fix somewhere?

Play multiple movies in same window area

Hello,
I'm sure this question has come up before, but couldn't find it.
On my html page I want to have a number of links to my Captivate movies down column on left, and then one movie container on the right, so each time a movie link is clicked, the movie will play within the same container on the right.
I'm using RoboHelp 8 to import and publish my movies. Can import a movie onto my page, but do not see the ability to put a placeholder container on my page so each movie could play within same container.
Thanks!

You're on the right path but a little confused.
You adjust a video track location by using the offset. Default location is 0,0 (upper left corner). You may need your calculator to do the math.
Another concept that escapes new users of QT Pro is negative values. You can use a negative value (say -320, 0) to position a track 320 pixels from the original upper left corner. This will put two 320X240 movies in a side by side 640X240 player window.
Don't forget to adjust the track layers. If they are all going to play at the same time they should all have the same layer number.

Multiple Documents

Hi All,
Can anyone pls. explain what is "Multiple Documents with the Same Selector by Other Headers" in Web Cache.
Thanx In Advance.
Olabora.

Oracle9iAS Web Cache understand HTTP request headers and uses the values of these headers to cache and identify multiple-version documents. If a browser request passes a URL with one of the headers defined, then Oracle9iAS Web Cache serves the document from its cache.
From selecting "Multiple Documents with Same Selector by Other Headers", you can specify the HTTP request headers and include that in the cacheability rule.

How do I display multiple pdf documents in the same window?

I am sure that this question has been asked many times before, but I have searched the forums and the online help documentation for nearly 45 minutes without a satisfactory answer.
I have just installed the trial version of acrobat pro and I want to open multiple documents in the same window but I can't seem to find out how to do it.
Can someone tell me how?
Thanks

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.

No staggered windows with XCode 3 in a Cocoa multiple document application

I want to release a new version of an application that I developed using the Cocoa multiple document framework. With XCode 2.x when I opened new document windows they were staggered so that the user could see that there was more than one document open. Since I switched to XCode 3, new document windows are created at the same location on the screen and new ones cover the older ones. I liked the old way. I can't find anything about this in the documentation or release notes. Is this the new way to do this according to the Human Interface Guidelines or a bug or what?

I see that part of my problem is terminology. The term for exposing new windows is cascading. It is possible to tell a document's window controllers to cascade its windows when initializing an NSDocument subclass like this:
- (void) windowControllerDidLoadNib:(NSWindowController *) aController
[super windowControllerDidLoadNib: aController];
NSArray* myDocWindowControllers = [self windowControllers];
int numControllers = [myDocWindowControllers count];
unsigned int controllerNumber = 0;
while(controllerNumber < numControllers){
NSWindowController* theWindowController = [myDocWindowControllers objectAtIndex: controllerNumber];
[theWindowController setShouldCascadeWindows: YES];
controllerNumber ++;
}

Multiple installations of XI 3.0 on the same Windows server

Hi,
is it possible to have multiple instances of XI 3.0 installed on the same Windows server? I know that I can create seperate database users for the repositories and that I can have different ports configured for CMS. I'm concerned about the registry and whether a second installation would overwrite the registry for the first installation or if there are anyother show stoppers.
Thanks,
Matt

Not yet, I know our product group is looking at this but currently only 1 per windows server. They are now supporting XI3 on top of XIR2 or other products known as side by side install. I don't have any type of ETA and wouldn't expect it soon.
Regards,
Tim

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
