How to present two different PDFs simultaneously?

Question

I want to present a LaTeX Beamer presentation with notes. I have two different PDF files: one file is the slides for the audience, and a second PDF is the same but contains speaker notes (to my own eyes). I wish to use the Acrobat Reader to achieve what Pympress and Skim suggest: Presenting the two PDFs, each on a different screen, and binding them so that a click on each file is equivalent to clicking both.

Is that possible?

Thanks!

There's no built-in command in Reader that allows you to do that.

However, it can be achieved, using a script. I've developed a (paid-for) tool that does just that:
