How to open saved sessions in a new window without overwriting opened documents

Post by InL1mb0 »

Every time i'm trying to open a saved session it replaces all my opened documents with the ones from the session. What I want is to have them opened in a new window so that I can keep the current documents opened and not being replaced by the ones from the saved session. Opening a new empty window prior to opening the saved session doesn't work and still closes the opened files.

Hello InL1mb0,

Welcome to our Forum!

You can try this method of adding a session:

Or, you may run two completely independent instances of the PDF Editor simultaneously, which means using the installed version alongside the portable version.

You can download it from this link:

https://downloads.pdf-xchange.com/PDFXE ... le_x64.zip


This way, both can operate independently without interfering with each other.
