Question

Tabbed interface not working in Pro DC

I just had my IT department install Acrobat Pro DC (2015.006.30033) on my work laptop (Windows 7 Enterprise SP 1, 64-bit)  for the express purpose of viewing multiple PDFs in the same window. Supposedly this behavior is "default" but it's not happening on my installation and when I go to Edit>Preferences>General I'm not even seeing the Open documents as new tabs in the same window check box. Is this feature missing from the 2015 version, or could it be an issue with how my company has set up Windows?

The perpetual license, like older versions, Buys you a product that only changes when you buy an upgrade. You can't do that yet. By contrast subscription versions continue to evolve, including the new tab feature.

OK, thanks for clarifying, I was indeed wondering about that and what "perpetual" license meant.

Hi ,

Please check whether is there any update available for the software after going through "help > check for updates "

Also Follow this thread to reset the preferences for the Acrobat software :- How to reset Preference settings in Acrobat.

Then open Acrobat, navigate to Help menu & repair the installation.

if the issue persist, please uninstall & reinstall the application.

Also check with the different user account with Admin Rights to replicate the issue .

Well, I can't check for updates because I'm not even seeing a Check for Updates ​option in the Help menu.

I also tried repairing the installation but it didn't resolve the issue.
