new docs - same opened window

Post by f.vieira »

Is there a way to force the program to open all new documents
in the same window that is already open?

thanks for attention

Hi,

To open documents in the same window, in PDF-XChange Editor:
- click the File-menu > Preferences > General, and click Setup... (button at the right, in the zone "Tabs and Windows"),
- next, in the "Manage Tabs and Windows"-dialog-box, make sure that the first two check-boxes are turned off.

Kind regards.

Thank you for your attention.

I didn't explain myself well.
What I really meant was to open the new documents in the same window.
When I open documents from the historic, they open in the same opened window.
When I open them through Explorer (let's say), they create a new window (or instance).

Thank you again
Best wishes
F. Vieira
