Limit "Multiple Instances" to only 2

Post by alpaco »

Hello,

I want to visualize side by side parts from the same pdf. Everything is great if Preferences>General>Allow Multiple Instances is activated.
However, each time I open a new document from explorer a new instance is launched (third, fourth, .... ).
I would like to have the new document opened only in the two instances already launched.

So, is there a way to limit "Multiple Instances" to only 2?

Best wishes

Hello alpaco,

Thank you for the post.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to limit the instances of the Viewer to two.

Please try using the Viewer's successor - the PDF-XChange Editor. You can split the Editor in two from the main menu -> Window -> Split to see two different parts of the same PDF file at the same time.

You can also use the feature Window -> Active Document to New Horizontal/Vertical Tab group so you can see two different files at the same time.

Regards,
Radi
