When I have a PDF file open, most of the time I can't open another PDF file. Only when I closed the alraedy opened PDF file, I can open another PDF file.

Why when on PDF file is open and I click on another file to open, it does not open! Unless I dragged it and dumped it in the same PDF that is open!!! This is very troublesome and time consuming!!

Nothing happens when I try to open another file, there is not even a loading sign. No error, nothing. Just doesn't open.
My colleague has the very same problem.

Hope you can help.
Thanks in advance
Robin

You need to provide more details, starting with:

- Your OS version.

- Your application name and version number.

- What exactly happens when you try to open another file? Is there an error message of some kind?
