    Default Opening multiple PDF files in separate windows

    How do i do this? I looked through the preferences and couldn't find anything. I often open up many differnent PDF files and I prefer them to each be open in a separate window on the taskbar.

    I don't remember having this problem on my previous computer, so I'm pretty sure its just a setting I can't find.

    Thanks

    This gives you a separate button on the taskbar for each document so you alt-tab between them. However, they are all still contained within a window so if you close the app, they all close.

    This works for Adobe Reader 7.0. I also have the full Acrobat 4.0 installed... not sure if this affects how my documents open up but the default is the reader.

    Sweet thanks, I only have Reader 6.0 and that option isn't there. I'd still prefer separate applications open for personal preference but I guess that isn't very efficient.

    Edit: actually this still doesn't work for me, I am always closing and opening them and i forget and it closes all of them. My temporary (possibly permanent) solution is to open them all up in firefox! works fine, but uses a lot of memory!
