PDF file, opening in tabs in a single window all of a sudden? How to disable?

Recently updated adobe and now everytime I open a PDF file that it begins just a new tab in the same window and I have to drag to create a separate window.  It's incredibly embarrassing then is it possible to revert back to open a pdf file opens its own individual window?

Hi weeman0313,

You can disable this option to uncheck "Open Documents as new tabs.." under "Edit > Preferences > general.

Kind regards

    Hi chrismarks1,

    I think you can be confused bookmarks with thumbnails. If you click on the miniatures Page icon (the one above the bookmarks icon), you can delete a page by clicking on its thumbnail, clicking the delete page (icon of the Recycle Bin). Just make sure that you see the PDF file in Acrobat (rather than Acrobat Reader), you cannot remove the drive pages.

    Best,

  • How can you have several pdf files open on an android phone?

    There was a time that each pdf file had its own recent app tab for each pdf file open on an android phone. Now for some reason, these "geniuses" thought it was a good idea to open a single PDF both. To open a file pdf will replace could have all previously opened pdf files. So, what adobe so smart and clever...

    Although the place where you left off in a previous PDF will be saved is still not a good idea. I hope that this (not a smart function) PROBLEM will be fixed soon. I can't get on how dumb, they were. My god.

  • How do you use the cutting tool with a PDF file open in Windows 8?

    Key to victory over the key PrintScreen puts a photo full screen in pictures/screenshots.   Use your cutting tool on this screenshot with windows PhotoViewer?

    Hello

    No need to reinstall. It depends on your current operating system, but if you use windows, simply right click any PDF file > open with > choose default program. Select the software from the list and don't forget to check the box "always use the program selected to open this type of file".

  • PDF to open the link in a new window?

    I want to create a Word document with hyperlinks to a variety of PDF files. I then want to create a PDF file from the Word document with hyperlinks intact.

    That is the problem. The Word document PDF file has its links in the same window. I want the links to open in a new window. I created links in the Word document to open it in a new window, but when the Word document is converted to PDF, embedded links dispossessed of their property open in new window.

    I know I can manually set the user preferences in Adobe Reader not to open the interdocument links in the same window, but this is not the default.

    Y at - it a script that can be run when the first PDF file which opens automatically changes the user preferences so that interdocument links open in a new window? Or is it possible to easily change the links created during the process of Word-to-PDF so that links between documents open in a new window?

    Thanks for any help.

  • How to open a tab in a new window

    I remember, but by mistake, it seems, that "in ancient times", there is an option to open a tab in a new window. I can't find this option and I can't find such a topic in the forum so far. It is a very useful option. I use beta FF28 on a 64-bit W7Pro computer and with tab modules: tab history, mix label more and avoid the endless tab.

    Hello MikeZgb2012, you can drag the tab of the tab bar to make it open in a new window.

  • When opening a PDF file, a new tab will open, but it will be empty, it do not download or open any pdf file, it just started the last 3 days...!

    Hello
    I'm about to remove Firefox from my computer because he lost hours of my time, and none of the online troubleshooting answers are no help.

    Until recently, I was able to open PDF files in my browser window, and today its impossible to open any pdf file, it will not download if I choose to download it.

    This issue is ongoing, and shut down for almost a year and I downloaded the Nitro PDF module to solve previously as Adobe reader add-on did nothing. Today in the menu options of applications where I can choose the program I want to open PDF files with I can't find the option NitroPDF reader, so I chose the add-on Adobe and no matter how many restarts it refuses to open all PDFs, all I get is a new tab open and empty.

    Internet Explore opens PDFs very well, so I know it's not computer associate.

    I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate, Firefox Version 19.0.

    If there is a way to fix this, please help because I am currently at the end of my patience.

    Kind regards

    19 FF has its own Viewer for pdf files. It doesn't seem to work properly. The screens are either poor quality or empty. Printing using the bad characters and spacing of bad character. Some impressions of color and others are not.

     Thankfully, it is easy to revert to using some other pdf viewer, such as Foxit. Go to Tools / Options / Applications and scroll down to "Portable Document Formay (PDF)", and change it to your preferred pdf viewer.
     Your problem is solved!
    
  • How to open a PDF file using the built-in Viewer? (Windows 8.1)

    When I try to open a PDF file I have the pop-up dialogue "you have chosen to open *.pdf Firefox do with this file? And display in Firefox is not one of the options. I am sure that what is happening is that there is no dialogue, and the PDF has just opened in the integrated Viewer pdf.js. If something is wrong with my profile I guess.

    I tried the instructions here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them

    I checked through all my extensions and you do not have open a PDF (I have uBlock, NoScript and Zotero).
    I completely uninstalled Adobe Reader.
    I checked that in preferences/Applications, PDF is set to "Preview in Firefox.
    I did as I went through: config and change all settings with 'pdf' on their return to their default values
    But none of these things work.

    Is there anything else I can try to get this working?

    I think the problem I had was that some of the PDF files is served by Web sites with a "header" (I don't really know what that means) called "Content-Disposition: attachment", and when this happens, Firefox refuses to load them into the integrated PDF Viewer. (I don't know why Web sites this.)

    It is very helpful, especially because Firefox gives no indication as to what is happening (why the user preference for a PDF file is not respected). I just thought that the PDF Viewer was broken and spent hours trying to fix it.

    If anyone runs into this problem, there is an extension that fixes it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/inlinedisposition/

    There is a Bugzilla bug open about it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773942

    As far as I can see, it would be trivial reflect changes the extension above in Firefox. In the bug of no claim that it would be a bad thing to do for safety reasons. But Firefox should at least present the user the ability to open the PDF file in the integrated Viewer or even more at least have explanations on why the PDF is not currently open in the Viewer, for example "this PDF file was marked for download, so for safety reasons it has not been opened in the integrated Viewer. Who would save people like me, who don't know the HTTP headers that are complicated, just think that Firefox is broken.
