it's exactly where I said it was.

"Go to View>Disable new acrobat>then the option reappears in Preferences>General."

Dear User,

We are delighted to inform you that we have extended support for opening multiple PDF files in separate windows (SDI - Single Document Interface Mode) in the latest updates of Acrobat.

To use this preference, simply go to Preferences > General > Open documents as new tabs in the same window and disable this. Relaunch Acrobat and open the documents, they will open in individual window instances (reference image attached for navigation to the preference)

We look forward to receiving your feedback and fostering seamless integration.

Thanks,

Bhawna.

I now found it, it is part of the main menu "View", see screenshot.

You are right, I apologize. I misread your initial posting. However, my screenshot might be helpful for other users.

[NudeCruzer]

Yes, it will definitely be helpful to many people. Thank you for posting the screenshot. I am concerned that Adobe hasn't addressed this problem in the  current version yet.

It appears you took the dropped the functionality to allow documents to open in new windows.

Hi Joyful_Charm4589,

Thank you for reaching out.

The option is still there in the application. Please go to Menu > Window > New Window. Check the screenshot below:

You can also drag the tab out of the application window. This will open the PDF in a new window.

Feel free to let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Meenakshi

Hi there 

Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out. 

Would you mind sharing the version of the Acrobat application you are using? Go to Help > About Acrobat and make sure its updated to the latest version 25.01.20521. Go to Help > Check for Updates and reboot the computer once. 

Also as suggested earlier in the correct answer by Meenakshi, The option is still there in the application. Please go to Menu > Window > New Window. 

You can also drag the tab out of the application window. This will open the PDF in a new window.
