How do you change the default to close only the document being viewed and not all the PDFs that are open.

Correct answer Dave__M

One option would be to change your preferences to open each new PDF in a separate instance of Acrobat/Reader insted of in new Tabs.  Preferences>General

When you close a file with this setting deselected, you will close just that instance of the program.

I hope this is helpful.

My best,

Dave
