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:

which was in november 2008....
why hasnt any thing else been done about it?  I just spent 45 minutes being sent to different departments over the phone, only to be told to submit a feature request.
Please do this if you havent already:

  • Can`t open document on Illustrator but adobe reader and photoshop opens it, why?

    Can`t open document on Illustrator but adobe reader and photoshop opens it, it is a problem with the text font Futura T-Bold. How to open it on Illustrator?

    I downloaded the file, and:
    It is not a Photoshop PDF.
    I get the same result attempting to open in Illustrator; mangled font substitution. That's because I don't have one or more of the exact fonts used in the document installed on my computer, and I suspect the same is true of yours.
    The fact that it opens without issue in Reader and Photoshop is essentally meaningless, (or at least it's not an inidication that it also should open without issue in Illustrator, which is what your original post seems to imply). Reader displays the correct fonts because subsets of them are embedded in the PDF for use by Reader. Photohop just rasterises the whole page, so there is no font data needed.
    If you had the fonts, you wouldn't get the substitution in Illustrator. It works that way for any PDF.

  • "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?

  • 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,
    Pat

    I have some of the same problem
    with my Windows 7 64 bit computer. I
    get an error when sending a document to
    the PDF veiwer and am told to shut down
    Adobe Reader.  Is there a download to
    correct this problem?  Adobe Reader 9.3.1
    works fine with Windows XP on my 32 bit
    computer.

  • Using Adobe 11 reader, now comes up with an error, once file is opened. 'Invalid plugin detected, Adobe reader will quit. Closes the program so cannot view PDF files. Running windows 7. I have uninstalled and re-installed Adobe still the same. HELP

    Using Adobe 11 reader, now comes up with an error, once file is opened. 'Invalid plugin detected, Adobe reader will quit. Closes the program so cannot view PDF files. Running windows 7. I have uninstalled and re-installed Adobe still the same. HELP

    Sounds like something has been added into the Reader folder. I would recommend uninstalling, running http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, removing any left over parts of the Reader folder (this might have been the problem), reboot, and reinstall. Hopefully that solves the problem. For future question about Reader, you should consider asking in the Reader forum, this is not it.

    Could some one give help and let me know where I can probably find the settings option that allows me to change and switch to previous situation where it was possible to decide time to time how to proceed either opening the file or saving it ??

    Why the question marks? Can you open PDF files or not? You don't need Firefox to open PDF files.

  • 2 medical softwares often can't open pdf, just after the adobe reader install but IExplorer succeded

    Hello,
    We have two softwares ( medical application) which open pdf via adobe reader XI.
    Theses softwares often can't open pdf, just after the adobe reader install( using adobeArCleaner+Customisation Wizard XI).
    At this point Internet Explorer is ok to open pdf with adobe reader...
    We have to launch manually adobe reader once on the computer to make the two applications to manage openning pdf
    Launching adobe reader seems to finish the installation...
    Did the editors have to put an "option" when they open pdf ( to act like Internet Explorer...) ?
    Thanks

    I am very glad to have a so rapid answered!
    Sorry I was not precise...
    When the file should open,
    for one application an error is happening,
    for the other application which is a "web" application, an other window ( not "web") opens with adobe reader and the pdf document ( the expected behavior is to open adobe reader and the pdf file in the web window already opened)
    I think that the file association is ok, if we double clik on a pdf, adobe reader is opening and then the file is opening  in adobe reader window...
    If I open Internet Explorer and I search for a pdf on the web, It is openning in the same window web.
    But something seems not finish for the medical softwares...

  • Which TCP/UDP ports need to be opened on a firewall for adobe reader and flashplayer?

    Which TCP/UDP ports need to be opened on a firewall for adobe reader and flashplaer to operate properly? This would include updating, linking, and any subset of features.

    The Acrobat Family uses TCP HTTP/HTTPS for all traffic. The following processes and ports may be active on a Windows client machine:
    AdobeARM.exe - automatic updates - port 443
    AcroRd32.exe - brand messages - port 443
    AcroRd32.exe - links in documents - anything specified in the URL
    Acrobat.exe - brand messages - port 443
    Acrobat.exe - links in documents - anything specified in the URL
    AdobeCollabSync.exe - Tracker review data - port 443
    The same ports are used by the  program components on OS X.
    There are no inbound listening ports for any elements of the Acrobat Family. Automatic updates are not pushed and there are no server processes within the software.

  • Can you disable the "auto open" feature when printing with Adobe Reader x verxion 10.1.6?

    Every time I print a file to PDF, it automatically opens.  Can this be turned off?  I was able to stop this in a previous version of Adobe, but it's been so long, I don't remember how I did it.  I've looked at the settings on my PDF printer as well, but I can't find anything.
    Thanks.

    Hi Sherry,
    You can check the printer preferences for Adobe PDF printer and deselect 'view Adobe PDF result'.
    On windows machine, please go to control panel and then open printer and devices. right click on the Adobe PDF printer and select printer properties/Preferences.
    You must be using Adobe Acrobat to print a document to PDF.
    you cannot print a document to PDF using Adobe Reader.
    Thanks

  • In Firefox 5, New Windows open in the same window even though the options are set to open in a new window.

    I have the options set to open new windows in a new tab. However, they do not.
    For example, as I click on the various options for support on Firefox.com, each opens in the same window. Similarly for Yahoo. If I bring up the news page and click on various links, they all open in the same window. How do you get them to open in new windows?

    Pure speculation, but maybe that Identity Finder program is deleting your browsing history which is how Firefox restores tabs and windows from the previous session. Check with technical support for that program or look at the manual.

  • Open link in same window

    Hi there,
    Does anyone know how to make the URL open in the same window. I am using flash CS3, Is there anyone who can edit the script below to allow this. The instance name is Button6
    var getnextpage5:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://www.yokubou.co.uk/digitalart.html");
    Button6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,b5Click) ;
    function b5Click(event:MouseEvent):void{
    navigateToURL(getnextpage5);
    Thanks
    JR

    It should open in the same window by default, but if you want to force it, you pass "_self" to the navigateToUrl function:
    var getnextpage5:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://www.yokubou.co.uk/digitalart.html");
    Button6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,b5Click) ;
    function b5Click(event:MouseEvent):void{
         navigateToURL(getnextpage5,"_self");

    Help greatly appreciated!

    Where is your getURL action?
    have you tried _parent or _self as it's target?
