Same problem. I cannot find the option to enable/disable tabs for multiple documents in the preferences (German version). In my test version of Acrobat DC the tabs feature worked, in my "full-version" not.

go to  menu > disable new acrobat reader
then restart the app
now press ctrl+k
go to general > uncheck the box "open documents as new tabs in the same window"
again restart the app

On the menu, there's an option to go back to original adobe.  Select that and you'll be good to go with your old preferences.

Yeah it doesn't show the same interface as you are seeing. For me in Documents, the "Show each document in its own window" doesn't exist. I wish it did! I really want to stop auto opening all PDFs in the same window. Very annoying to not be able to adjust this setting.

There isn't way to add tabs to the Classic version (unless or until Adobe decide to).
