In summary, the conversation discusses how to configure Acrobat Reader to view PDF files in different browsers. The issue of opening two PDF files simultaneously is brought up, with suggestions to either open a new instance of the browser or request a new window in the File menu to view the second file.

Hi all,

Any one can help me how to configure the Acrobat Reader so that we can view PDF files in different browsers? For example, we have two datasheets saved in pdf format, and we want to open to compare their specs. Thanks for any help!

Are you sure? I did that for excel. Thanks

I meant that, if we open two pdf files, the last one will be displayed. Then, if we click on the first opening, it will replace the last one. Finally, we still see only one at the time. Thanks

If you are viewing them in a web-browser, try to start another instance of the browser... or else request a new window (under the File menu) and open the second one there.
