How to lock the position of a window in the split window view?

[lutz58710210]

Hello everyone,

I have Adobe Acrobat, Version 25.1 on a PC (Windows 11). Sometime I have to split the window of a PDF to see two different pages of the same PDF at the same time. Moreover, sometimes I have to do this while I'm adding comments. For example: I have a page with a plate and another page with a description of this plate. In such cases, I split the window so that I can see both the plate and the text, and I put the window with the plate in the upper half, and the text I'm reading (and commenting) in the lower half.

And then it happens very often, that I click in an already existing comment (to add something or for whatever reason), and the upper window suddenly jumps to the page where this comment can be found, although I'm already on this page in the lower window. How can I stop this behaviour? It is driving me crazy! I there a way to lock the position of the upper window when I split the PDF view?

Thanks in advance

Best wishes,

Lutz

@lutz58710210 try the New Window view, it creates an independent, duplicate window of the same file. They do not share navigation commands like Split View does.
