The Acrobat Pro DC seems cannot split window vertically. In reading Journal Manuscript, we want to shift between pages of Figures and text. The 'split windows' is very efficient. However, the Acrobat Pro DC just split window horizontally. It is inefficient for reading. Is there some options to split window vertically?

It loos like only pro has split ability, but the nomal version hasn't

this is a basic tool for PDF read, why it is not there for nomal version?

Hi wonderful_Cosmos8984,

 

Thank you for reaching out.

 

Could you please tell us the Acrobat version number you are using? Also, what do you mean by "normal version" here?

Are you using Acrobat Reader? More information would be helpful.

 

Thanks,

Meenakshi

It may not meet your needs, but try Windows>Spreadsheet Split.  It will split your single doc into 4 smaller viewing panels, and you can adjust the divider by dragging it around.
