Opening two PDF's

I have two monitors and when I open one pdf it opens on my second monitor which is where I want it to open. But when I have one pdf open and want to open a second pdf it opens on my other monitor. I want the pdf's to open on the same monitor just stack not open another Acrobat. I have look thru the preferences but did not see anything that I thought had to do with this happening. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Tks...

if you are asking how to get multiple PDFs to open in one window--
unfortunately, that was a new change with acrobat 9. each document opens in a separate window, which has angered and confused many users. I hope they've changed this in the newer versions.
as for opening two windows on one monitor, sorry, can't help. if you are spanning monitors, can't you just drag a document over to the other monitor?

Adobe Stop working when I open two PDF Files.

I am using the Adobe Acrobat 11.0.03 on my desktop running win-8. The big issue for me is that the adobe just stop working, when I tried to open two PDF files at the same time. But it is fine when I just open one. So could any one give me same advise? Thank you very much.

I am using the Adobe Acrobat XI. Currently, it works perfectly when I only open one PDF file. If I try to open two files at the same time. the Adobe Acrobat just stop working and shows "Adobe Acrobat has stopped working".
It is so frastrating becasue I always need to open and edit multiple PDF file at the same time.
I really hope I can get some helps.
Thank you, Stacy.

Unable to open two PDF's at once in Acrobat Reader 9.1.1

Hello:
We are having problems at the company I work at when trying to two PDF's at once. When the second one is opened, it reboots the computer. There are no errors showing in Event Viewer. There are no firewalls that would be causing this issue.

Try disabling Protected Mode (see Pat's response here: Anyone having problems with the Acrobat Reader 11.0.9 update on Win7 X64?) and see if that helps...

Opening two PDFs crashes my PC

I have both Acrobat and Reader (both v 9.2.0), and whenever I open a second PDF, my PC completely bombs out and restarts.
I has to be a setting in that is individual to my PC or my Acrobat/Reader because another user within the company can open multiple files without problems.
Any suggestions?
I've read elsewhere that turning off the "Use 2D graphic acceleration" option fixes an issue where opening multiple files crashes Acrobat, but this has not helped me.

Thanks for the suggestion Kevin, but I think checking sysprocesses is a little above my pay grade!
I did however check to see the mem usage for both apps in Task Manager, and Acrobat was steady at approx. 43000k when it had an open file, but I wouldn't know whether this is large or not???
Then the problem seemed to disappear because I miraculously opened numerous PDFs with no problems. This worries me a little though!

How can I get one link to open two different PDFs?

Even though I'm only the hardware support guy where I work, I've been asked to maintain the web site. The latest request is that they want to get one link to open two PDFs. I know you can do something like that with web pages, but I'm not sure if you can do the same with PDFs. I only know the basics of Dreamweaver, so, if it can be done, please explain it to me like I'm a 5-year-old. However, I'm not afraid of code. Thanks, in advance, for any assistance.

Hi
You can do this by using the javascript onClick event to load the 2 pdf's, but if I was to see such action when clicking a link I would suspect that it was trying to open multiple pages, (as per spam sites) and immediately close the tabs/windows and never visit the site again.
If you do require two pdf's then merge both pdf files into one, and link to the single file as normal.

Opening 2 PDF's with the same file name

I have someone who has difficulty opening two PDF's with the same file name. They had a file open, then try to open another PDF document with the same file name as the original document, however it will not open (and no error displays) and reverts back to the "old" document. Any ideas?

Are this diferent documents? What version of Adobe Reader?

[solved] two pdf-presentations - switching slides simultaneously

[note: I changed the subject to better suit the solution we found. (orig: dual head: two WMs, one keyboard -> I want simultaneous input!)]
Apart from my Xinerama setup I configured Xorg to run separte WMs on both screens. By default only one of them has the mouse and/or keyboard focus.
But I would like to have simultaneous input, especially for the keyboard!
It's for a talk at a conference for which I have created a (pdf) presentation. What I'm trying to do is running two versions of my presentation, each on one of the heads. The beamer VGA-ouput shall show the plain presentation, while my laptop ought to give me additional notes. However, both heads should change slides simultaneously with one single click.
Any ideas on how to get simultaneous input on both screens? Or might there be another goal to achive this. All I want is two instances of xpdf that both change slides on hitting space-key. I don't really care how it is done, two heads sharing the same input was just my first idea.

So here is what I call SI(E)Mple PREsentation -- siempre -- for now. A very rudimental shell script solution. Siempre can open two pdf-files and manages the creation and deletion of the required keybindings. The two instances have to be arranged on the screen(s) manually after. Maybe I'll add some more options later.
#!/bin/bash
#SI(E)Mple PREsentation - start two instances of xpdf with simultaneous page
# turning enabled;
if test $ -z $2 $; then echo "Usage: siempre <file.for.audience> <file.with.notes>"; exit; fi
# commandline-parameters are kept simple for now; you can just pass the name
# of two pdf-files; spaces in file names are NOT SUPPORTED;
BEAMER=$1;
NOTES=$2;
# path to your standard xpdfrc file:
CONFIG="~/.xpdfrc"; #/etc/xpdfrc
# create a temporary xpdfrc (based on existing configuration), adding
# keybindings for simultaneous page-turning; any previous bindings for 'space'
# and 'backspace' are overwritten;
mkdir /tmp/siempre;
if test $ -n "$CONFIG" $; then cp $CONFIG /tmp/siempre/xpdfrc; fi
echo "bind space any nextPage run(/tmp/siempre/xpdf_next)" | cat - >> /tmp/siempre/xpdfrc;
echo "bind backspace any prevPage run(/tmp/siempre/xpdf_prev)" | cat - >> /tmp/siempre/xpdfrc;
# create temporary scripts for page-turning in the remote session; this is
# necessary as the "run" command in the keybindings cannot handle spaces;
echo -e "#!/bin/bash\nxpdf -remote 2ndInstance -exec nextPage" > /tmp/siempre/xpdf_next;
echo -e "#!/bin/bash\nxpdf -remote 2ndInstance -exec prevPage" > /tmp/siempre/xpdf_prev;
chmod 744 /tmp/siempre/xpdf_{next,prev};
# invoke both instances of xpdf; first one is the beamer presentation, second
# one is for additonal notes; kill the note-instance when the main presentation
# is closed;
xpdf -remote 2ndInstance $NOTES & xpdf -cfg /tmp/siempre/xpdfrc $BEAMER;
xpdf -remote 2ndInstance -quit;
# delete temporary files;
rm -r /tmp/siempre/;

Can't open a pdf document over two or more junction points

Hello,
if i open a pdf document that's stored in a directory and this directiry is accessable over two or mor junction points, it will be fail. The message say something abount access denied, but the security is set to full access. In other application (e.g. notepad.exe) i can access this document. Then i tested it with one junction point and it works.
So here is a szenario to test:
1) Put a pdf document at C:\Folder1\PDF-Document.pdf
2) I can access C:\Folder1\PDF-Document.pdf with Acrobat Reader
3) Create a Junction Point from C:\Folder2 to C:\Folder1
4) I can access C:\Folder2\PDF-Document.pdf with Acrobat Reader
5) Create a Junction Point from C:\Folder3 to C:\Folder2
6) I can't access C:\Folder3\PDF-Document.pdf with Acrobat Reader !!!
I can normaly access the file at C:\Folder3\PDF-Document.pdf but not with Acrobat Reader! In Notepad i can open the pdf document.
I tested the lasted version 11.0.1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 (Service Pack 1) with all normally available patches.
What's wrong? The original structure with the junction points are greater than the example above. But i've reduced it to this simple example.
Can anyone help?
Thanks und Greetings

It's possible it's a bug, or it may be a limitation in the software if it's a specialized kind of PDF that Reader for iOS doesn't support.
In any case, posting a link to the file would provide the engineers with some information to help fix the problem.
Keep in mind that the software for mobile devices has been in development a much shorter time than software for computers (Reader for Windows or Macintosh).

The two PDF's open fine with Adobe on my own PC and on the server I have copied it to but when they are opened through a link on a web page (pointing to the server where the PDFs open fine) I get an error 'There was an error processing a page.

Hello,
Are the pdf linked correctly in the website? Is this a public website? If yes, please post the link here.

Opening a PDF as two-up from computer to computer

Adobe world, here is my problem.
I need to be able to send a PDF so that when a seperate person opens it on their seperate computer the PDF will open as two-up automatically regardless of their view setting preferences. There seems to be no easy way to do this, and everyone's solution seems to be just to merge two pdf pages into one wide page that looks like its two pages. For the application of this PDF that is not an option. Each page needs to remain an individual pdf page. I would be astounded if Adobe had no setting options for this, but they seem not to. Please, someone help me out here!

There are two ways to do it, but both require Acrobat. Do you have Acrobat, or just the free Reader?

How to push the two pdf opened documents in the array?

Hi all,
I need to store the two pdf opened documents in the array value(i.e array(0), array(1)) and then get that array value one by one, and print it through AVAlertNote(). Kindly advise me the possiblities and solution.
Thanks for looking into this.

What do you mean you want to put the "pdf open documents" in an array? You mean the PDDoc structures? Just use a std::vector<> or the like.
And what did you want to print?
If you are trying to debug, why not use the source debugger for your platform?

Opening a PDF in a specific page from a PDF created in indesign

Hello, I'm working with CS4 and I need you to click on a button, or from a "hyperlink" in a text, open a pdf file but for a given page.
I can not change the target pdf and also I have to access a single pdf into multiple pages, put an example
persone one speaks at the pdf 1, on page 14
person two speaking in pdf 1, on page 15
I wish that when you click on the person 1 opens pdf 1 on page 14, and when you click on the person 2 opens pdf 1 on page 15
Thanks in advance
mateo

Thanks, I had not noticed in the new dialogue coming out. Thank you very much. A greeting.
Muchas gracias
mateo
Rectification
ohhh, no, the page references are to an indesign document, not a PDF
I have not indesign files where you created the PDF to which I have to jump and I can not add bookmarks to pdf, pdf files are protected.
thanks

I cannot open this PDF file in Acrobat 8 Pro or in Acrobat Reader on Windows 7 64-bit

I have a PDF file that I could open on my Windows XP 32-bit laptop in Acrobat 8 Pro or in Acrobat Reader. I then upgraded to a Windows 7 64-bit laptop. But now in Win7-64, I cannot open this same file using the same apps (Acrobat 8 Pro & Acrobat Reader XI).
When I try to open it in Acrobat 8, it does not load and instead a popup windows appears saying -
Adobe Updater
Some components needed to complete this operation are missing but information about them may be available on the Adobe website. Would you like to search the Adobe website for the missing components?
And I can choose either the OK or Quit buttons. When I click OK, a web browser starts and goes to this website -
http://www.adobe.com/special/adobe_update_manager/?type=Filter&name=FOPN_foweb&version=0.0 .0.0&lang=en_US&os=Windows&osver=6.1.7601&appid=acrobat8pro-en_US&cpu=intel
This webpage says -
Adobe Update Manager
Adobe cannot locate the requested plugin. New plugins will be listed on this page. Currently there are no plugins.
So now I am stuck, no direction to go. I am left without any solution from Adobe for Acrobat on this file.
When I try to open this PDF file in Reader, it does not load and instead a web browser is spawned loading the webpage -
http://plugin.fileopen.com/Default.aspx?bhcp=1
This is the FileOpen Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat/Reader, which prompts to -
Please click OK to download the FileOpen Plug-in Installer for Adobe Acrobat/Reader
I click on OK, download and run the Installer file, accept the terms, and installed the FileOpen Client (x64) B928. Upon completion, it prompts to Finish. But it does not automatically bring Reader up or try to load the file. So I try again to load the PDF file into Reader. But once again, the file does not load and the web browser is spawned loading the same FileOpen Plug-in Installer link. I click OK again, and start the same FileOpen Client process. This time, it recognizes that I have FileOpen Client installed, and the window gives me two choices, Repair or Remove. So since I apparently need this Plug-in, I choose Repair. The process seems to complete the Repair. But when I try to load the file, it still brings me back to the FileOpen Plug-in webpage. So now I am stuck again, and left without any solution from Adobe for Reader on this file.
I tried Adobe support. But apparently Adobe does not support past releases of their products (Acrobat 8), and also does not give free support for the current version of their free products (Reader XI).
Can this be fixed?

How is Acrobat 8 not fully Windows 7 compatible? I see discussions on this Adobe Community saying how Acrobat 8 does work on Windows 7 and with 64-bit. It appears that if Acrobat 8 is updated to the latest version, then this should fix AA8-Win7 issues. And I am at the latest AA8 version, 8.3.1.
And how are Acrobat 8 and Reader XI are not compatible? I have always had Acrobat and Reader installed on the same PC, without ever having any issues. And Adobe allows the installation of one after the other. So apparently Adobe allows them both to exist together. If they are incompatible, then why would Adobe allow them to exist together?
Anyway, I did uninstall the FileOpen Plug-in and the Reader XI, then reinstalled the FileOpen Plug-in. So now Reader is not installed and only Acrobat 8 is installed. I then tried to load the PDF file, but I still get the Acrobat 8 error described above.
