I have searched this issue on the community and haven't found an answer. Two days ago, Acrobat DC opened all PDFs in tab view. Yesterday, it stopped. When I go into Edit: Preferences: General, I do not get the option to select / deselect "Open documents as new tabs in the same window" as others have suggested. Please help!

I wonder if you could check for me the version of Acrobat, as shown by Help > About Adobe Acrobat?

We're looking for a long string like "2016.123.45678".

Ok, I can't explain how it happened, but the app you are running today is "Classic 2015" version of Acrobat Standard. You need Acrobat 2017 or later. If you have a subscription, you have got the wrong app, because a subscription can be got right up to date. It's hard to think why your software would have gone to an older version, since this worked a few weeks ago, unless you or someone else reinstalled it, or this is a different computer.

Are you able to combine the tabs into one window in the usual way (by dragging the tabs, just like in a browser)?
