New windows in Acrobat Pro XI are offset

When opening PDFs in Acrobat Pro XI on a Mac, each new window opens slightly offset to the right from the previous window, regardless of whether or not that window is still open. This means that slowly the windows disappear under various tool box windows I leave open on the right of the screen, preflight etc. Then I have to start manually dragging windows back to the left so that I can read the content. Not a big deal you may think but very annoying when you have to do it hundreds of times a day.
Is there any way to make document windows always open in the same place?
Thank you for your help.

Hi Dryck,
This is done by design to allow you to see other open files more easily. There's no way to change this functionality at this time. To your question of 'is there any way to make document windows always open in the same place, the only workaround is to click the 'Maximize' button on the title bar. 
If you'd like to suggest an alternative to the way multiple PDF files open, our engineering team would love to hear some feedback!  You can fill out our Feature Request form here: http://adobe.ly/WishForm
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

  • Windows Update in Endless Loop of 'Installing updates" and "Undoing changes" on New Windows 8.1 Pro Install

    I am setting new Windows 8.1 Pro computers, and am installing Windows 8.1 Pro to bare drives.  Everything goes fine until Windows Update starts installing updates, and then the computer goes for hours installing updates, and then "We
    could not complete the updates Undoing changes".   It's an endless loop. It seems to be the same 38 updates.  This is a recent phenomenon.  I have not run into this until the last week or two on several new computer installs.
    Again these are brand new installs, so something is clearly wrong with the Windows updates.
    If anyone can please tell me how to avoid this, it would be much appreciated.
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    "  This is a recent phenomenon"
    Have you made any modifications to the machines ?
    To resolve this issue ,running the built-in troubleshoot tool is a very good beginning .It will automatically diagnostic the windows update components and check the configurations for us .
     Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\Fix problems with Windows Update
    If there are antivirus software installed in these machines, please turn off them temporarily to have a check.
    The command line included in the link as S.Sengupta posted is very useful and convenient to repair the windows corrupted files .We can have a try .
    "sfc /scannow" ,"DISM.EXE /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth "
    We also can check the windowsupdate.log for more information to troubleshoot this issue .
     Run "windowsupdate.log"
    If you have trouble in analyzing the log ,please upload them to the OneDrive and paste the link here .
    Best regards

  • My PDFs using the new Acrobat Pro DC are blurry and hard to read.

    The Acrobat Pro DC shows my PDFs in a strange way and they are very blurry even if I zoom to 100%.  It's like it's very pixelated or something like that.  Is there a setting I change or anything like that?

    I can't help with the size but you can keep them from disappearing by checking the option in System Preferences > General > Show Scroll bars:  Always.

  • SRM iViews open in New Window instead of Portal Content Area

    Hi folks,
    We are implementing SRM 7.0 business package on our Enterprise Portal 7. By default, all the SRM iViews open in a New Window. But, when I change the iViews to open in the Content Area, only the first iView that I try to open will open in the Content Area. All the remaining ones start opening in a new window with header. When reached out to SAP, they told me to disable the Work Proctect Mode. I tried that as well and still no luck. Please let me know if you guys have any idea how to make all the iViews open in the Content Area invariably. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • Firefox 29.0 opens new windows from clicking links that are in a smaller window, should open as maximized window. How to change?

    How do I click a link on a web page, and not have to maximize the window every time? Firefox 29 seemed to add this additional click annoyance and I can't see how to change that. I do not want full screen mode which is what Firefox calls it when it removes an additional row of menu items. I mean maximizing the window so I don't have to do it each time! Please tell me how to change the settings and restore this normal feature.

    Go to
    About:Config
    Change
    browser.link.open_newwindow
    value from 2 to 1
    Works for me now. Every new window is max size

  • I installed a new printer and Acrobat Pro is not listing it as an option in the drop down box. Other apps are working. Printer is networked, platform is Windows.

    sorry, other apps are working fine and finding the new printer. HP Officejet 8620.

    I've rebooted numerous times, reloaded the software twice, spent 4 hrs on the phone with HP and 2 with Adobe. No luck. It simply doesn't show the new printer in the drop down menu for Pro or Reader and yet shows time in all in Office, Paint, Web options. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

  • Cannot update new install of Acrobat Pro 9

    After installing a trial version of CS5.5 Master collection (which included Acrobat 10), my purchased Acrobat 9 Pro was removed (or otherwise hidden) from my machine. After evaluating the different software choices in the master collection, I uninstalled the entire suite and installed my newly purchased production pro suite. Since production pro does not include Acrobat, I re-installed my purchased copy of Acrobat 9 Pro. Since it was installed from the installation DVD, updates are necessary. Everytime I try to update Acrobat 9 pro, I get the following error: "Adobe Updater Install Manager has stopped working". Also, everytime I open my outlook 2010 client, it crashes and recommends that I disable the pdf plug in from Adobe (which I have now disabled). I've looked over the internet and could not find a solution to the problem. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    Good day Patrick,
    I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble.  Please give the following steps a try after a fresh restart of your system:
    Repair your current Acrobat 9 installation via Help > Repair Acrobat Installation
    Try to update Acrobat via Help > Check for Updates.
    If the update fails, try to manually apply the Acrobat 9.1 update via direct download here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4375
    Assuming the Acrobat 9.1 update successfully installs, please try continuing to update Acrobat all the way to 9.5 via Help > Check for Updates. 
    Please let me know how it goes and if the issue with Outlook clears up too.
    Kind regards,
    David

  • Windows 7 Acrobat Pro X conflict? Installed but won't open

    I bought a new laptop and installed CS6 with Acrobat X Pro. AI and PS work fine, but Acrobat refuses to initialize. I suspect a conflict with trial installation software. Any ideas?

    CS6 which package?  Is it Master Collection costing $2500?
    You must be an avid user of Adobe products to buy this monster for your low spec laptop!!
    Generally, one should always uninstall all trial products before installing the paid up versions unless, you are replacing with the identical product and version number.  For example, if you had trial versions of individual products (Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Photoshop etc etc) then you should remove all of them using Adobe's cleaner tool.
    Good luck.

  • I just installed Photoshop CC on new Windows 8.1 pro system and now it wont create new file or open existing files.

    Ugh this is so frustrating and I suspect it is an easy fix I am too tired to figure out.
    I just got a new PC and installed Creative Cloud and Photoshop CC, logged in and launched Photoshop. It launches fine, no error messages or anything. The tutorial window pops up and I close it. Then if I try to create a new file (the option window comes up) nothing happens after I submit the options. I mean nothing. No error message, no crash, no file canvas nothing. If I try to open an existing file it loads Photoshop as if it is going to open the file and Photoshop loads without any error messages but no file, again nothing.
    Please help.
    I am so behind in my work lol.

    After three or four tries, it just started working - I didn't change any settings or anything. I was just showing my friend how it wouldn't work and bam it opened a file finally...
    never seen this behavior before...

  • Upgrade Standard 9 Windows to Acrobat Pro Mac

    You purchase the version for the Mac if that is what you want now.  You cannot change your older licenses from Windows to Mac.

  • New window in Acrobat 9.3 Preflight

    This week I began getting an unwanted window popping up on completion of Preflighting a document. It is called "Snap View" (IIRC) and I want to know how to turn it off. It's a nuisance I wasn't expecting and don't want.
    Anyone else seen this?

    I finally found out how to turn it off. It wasn't a Prefs thing after all but a button at the bottom of the Preflight window. I guess I must have clicked it by accident.
    Not sure what value it has either since it never displays anything but a blank window with the message that there is nothing to view.
    Problem solved.

  • How to open form links in new window in Acrobat XI

    Does anyone know how to have a link within a form open a new instance of a browser?

    Answered through email:
    Hello,
    I don´t understand your problem. You have not tried the component mentioned in my replies, right? You have tried Launch URL component from WD Native. Because if you have, you would ask such a question. This component is a u201Cgroupu201D of a text field and a button. That means, that fits your problem completely IMHO. Place the component on your form layout, Set the presence of the text fox inside this Launch URL and you will see what address is being launch when clicked on the button.
    You said you have your address in the text field. So this is the same. Just change the source where the button takes the URL from or copy the value from your form into this one.
    Hope this helps.
    p.s.: looks like you have absolutely no exerience with JS coding.
    That means you need to read first and code later, right? Start here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/lc_designer_scripting_basics/lc_designer_scripting_basics.pdf

  • Windows 8 acrobat pro xi cannon pixma 8220 not letting me choose the type of scan

    I have scanned documents before with no problem, but today, when I choose Create, From Scanner, it grays out all of the choices except Custom Scan.  I want to do a black and white document.  Anyone have any ideas what I need to do?  Nothing has changed since the last time I used this setup.  I have rebooted both the computer and the printer/scanner.  The printer/scanner shows up in Device Manager as the default.

    This happens when your scanner is set to use WIA drivers. What scanner is listed in the "Scanner" drop down when you click on "Custom Scan"?
