1. Listed below are 3 different ways to view
   multiple PDF documents in either the same monitor or dual or more monitors…or
   the same PDF document with the drawings in one monitor and the specification in
   the other. I think the third way is probably the best but I thought I would
   present all 3.

   1:

   Open two documents in Adobe Acrobat.
   Then select “Windows” and then in the pop-up menu click on “Tile” and then in
   the next pop-up window click on “Across Monitors”.
   This can be very handy if you want to view both the drawings and specification
   at the same time on a full size screen view. In order to do that though you
   will need to make a duplicate of the application (or whatever PDF document you
   are looking at). To make a quick copy or duplicate of the document you are
   looking at just click on “Window” and then in the pop-up menu click on “New
   Window”.

   2:
   Click on “Start” then “Run”. In box, type “acrobat /n”. This will
   open another instance of acrobat in which you can open either another file or
   the same file you have open in the other instance. You can do this multiple
   times to have multiple instances of the program running. Then you can just move
   one instance to one monitor and the other instance to the other monitor. Each
   instance can be closed independently from the other. The only limitation with
   this is that if you have the same file open in both instances of the program,
   you cannot save either with the same file name.

   3:

   Add the “/n” to the Target in the Adobe ICON on the Desktop or any shortcut to
   it. i.e Right click ICON then Properties\Shortcut\Target\”C:\Program
   Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe” /n.

   Enjoy
