Viewing two PDFs in separate windows

Post by prr »

I have the free edition, and can't seem to get the cascading windows feature to work. I looked in the help section, and saw the tab options greyed out--I couldn't change them. Is this a feature only for the pro version? I would like to view two PDFs in separate windows to compare the text in each, but can't seem to do this...

No, there is no difference between the free and pro versions, apart from the watermarks added when pro features are used in the free version.

If the navigation tabs are enabled the cascade and tile features are not available. Hide the navigation tabs to use tile windows.

Thanks for the help Bhikkhu,

prr, you can also have a look at this KB article for a more visual explanation of which settings you need to change:
How do I use multiple instances of the viewer

Best,
Stefan

Thanks as always, Stefan. That did it. I didn't realize that I needed to check the Allow Multiple Instances option at the bottom. (Thanks to Bhikku as well)
