How do I stop PDFs opening as tabs in the same document?

In the past, if I clicked 2 or more pdfs to open them with Adobe Reader DC they opened as separate documents in separate windows and I was happy with that.

Now if I open more then one pdf, they open as tabs in the same pdf window. If I want to look at the pdfs side-by-side, I have to drag one of them out of the window onto my desktop and open it separately.

What do I do/what setting do I change to make it go back to the way it was?

Go to Edit (or the Reader menu if you're on a Mac) - Preferences - General and uncheck "Open documents as new tabs in the same window".
