Open all PDFs in same window option in Acrobat 9?

All my PDFs open in separate windows/acrobat instances. There used to be a feature in option to allow all to open in same window. Cant seem to find it in verison 9.

You're correct. I think that was the switch between SDI (single document interface) and MDI (multiple document interface). In 8.x the ability to switch was there but in 9.0 it appears to have gone the way of the dinosaur. :(

  • 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.

  • Preview: open all PDFs in one window

    There used to be an option in Preview to open a group of PDFs in one window. There still is this option in v3.0.4 except that you can only do it with images now, and not PDFs.
    So is there a way around this; is there any way to get a group of PDFs to open in one window. Say a keyboard shortcut maybe?

    Hi Christiaan
    Tiger's preview has seemed to have lost a bit from its previous Panther version, but here is a workaround.
    You can batch print by creating a printer icon on your Desktop.
    In Printer Setup Utility, select the printer under Printers, choose Create Desktop Printer. This will allow you to drag multiple items onto it on the desktop and batch print them.

  • How can I open all PDFs on my MS Windows desktop in Firefox?

    How can I open all PDFs on my MS Windows desktop in Firefox?
    I have tried just going to File... Open... <desktop PDF file>, but all I get is funny markup and funny characters, like the following:
    %PDF-1.4 %âãÏÓ 3 0 obj << /Producer (PDF-XChange 3.60.0128 \(Windows XP\)) /CreationDate (D:20110321141052-04'00') >> endobj 5 0 obj << /Type /XObject /Subtype /Image /Width 2551 /Height 3285 /BitsPerComponent 8 /ColorSpace /DeviceGray /Length 500647 /Filter [/FlateDecode /DCTDecode] >> [...]
    I am able to open PDFs from the Internet normally using the Adobe Reader X plugin, but for some reason, it doesn't kick in when I open local PDF files.
    I am using Firefox 4.0.1 and Adobe Reader X.

    Do you have any graphics editing software like photoshop or something similar.?
    Surely you can just open both images, resize the image you want to add, then copy and paste it into the main image. Save this as a new file and set it as the background.
    If you need a graphics editing program you can download one called The Gimp for free. Just make sure you have X11 installed.

  • Can not open all .pdf files in Yahoo Mail.

    Three computers using Windows XP and Internet Explorer can open all .pdf files in Yahoo
    Mail. The fourth and newest Computer with XP Pro, Internet Explorer, and the latest Adobe
    Reader can only open some, but not all, .pdf files in Yahoo Mail. Nothing happens when
    the window is clicked to open file. How can this be fixed?

    Adobe Reader isn't my favorite, but neither are smug and uninformed assertions about Preview. There are PDFs that render only squares and marks under Preview (http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/24209/this-pdf-displays-with-question-m arks-instead-of-letters), which is a common problem in MS Windows Office generated PDFs, so you may actually need Adobe Reader for Mac.
    If you need to use Adobe Reader (as I do), then it may depend on the filesystem type where you save your PDF.  For example, our Macs are network homed.  Saving to desktop produced the error reported above no matter whether I used Safari:Save As, or the PDF save icon. 
    However, when I saved to a local drive (such as /tmp), then it worked.  I don't know why file system makes a difference, unless Adobe is doing something with extended attributes that doesn't get written correctly to some filesystems.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • Adobe Reader 9 IE 7 Opens PDF in same window

    That's basically my problem. When using internet explorer 7, if I try to click on a PDF link the PDF is opened in the same window as the page I am on. I have the website link target set to blank, so I am not sure what the problem is.
    When I click on a PDF link a new window pops open, I click 'Open' on the download prompt box, but then it goes back to the original window and opens on top of the original window.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
