Opening 2 pdf's - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

i use adobe reader to open pdfs, and when i have one open and want to open another one it opens in the same window. i would like to have 2 windows open so that i can alt tab between them. this would make it much easier since one page is homework problems and the other is answers. thanks to anyone who can tell me how to do this.

I don't think you can have 2 separate Acrobat windows open, but you can do it within Acrobat. Click the Window option and then choose to tile or cascade the 2 files. Hope that helps.

Use control-tab to move between two docs in the same application.

There's a setting for this, at least in Reader 7.0: General / Show Documents in Taskbar. (If you are using Reader 6.0, upgrade now; it is much much faster.)
