How to split window vertically (side by side view)

[Liuyoushan24023360are9]

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 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.

Dear JR, many thanks for this solution. Very helpful. Can you please let me know how to make the split PDFs run simultaneously in the split window? I mean if I scroll one PDF, the other will automatically scroll. Is there a way?

[JR Boulay]

No, hélas.

Hi Boulay. Thank you for your reply! The tile is for two windows. What I want it to view one file with splitted view as follows.  How to split one window into two (side by side)?

Use Window > Split

"How to split one window into two (side by side)?"

OK, undestood.

Acrobat cannot split vertically.

It can - Use New Window and Tile

Hello JR,

Sorry for ressurecting an old thread, but I'm totally confused by these posts here, and I am looking for some clarification if you would be so kind. You keep saying that using the "Split" feature in a "vertical" configuration is not possible, but others keep "correcting" you to say that is IS possible, but I cannot get it to work no matter what I do. So...

We work with large format drawings (construction documents that are 22" x 34", 24" x 36", and 30" x 42") and I desperately need to be able to navigate the large plan views on the left side of my screen, but zoom around to different pages with all the smaller details on the right side of my screen. Having them tiled horizontally is completely useless in this environment because there's no room to show anything of value in the two tiny, horizontal halves of my screen (though I understand how if I was working with "written" documents, like articles or stories or crap like that, it would be fine because I could see several lines of text in each one). No matter what I do, the "Window > Split" function automatically starts in the "horizontal" configuration and I can't see where to switch it. Thomas below says it's possible but when I use the "Window > Tile > Vertically" function he says, my program fluctuates around for a quick second (like it's trying to do it), then stops and nothing has happened (except my Acrobat program isn't "maximized" on my screen anymore.

What is it that I'm missing here? Does my software have some kind of bug that Thomas' doesn't? I could really use this Split Vertically functionality as it would save me a TON of time zooming around and navigating back and forth. Thanks for all the help you provide (on this thread and all the others)!

@Deleted User you may have resolved this by now, but what Thomas was referring to was New Window and then split vertically. You will have 2 windows for the same document, allowing you to independent scrolling from each. Coming from Bluebeam, what I consider a much more powerful PDF editor tool with shortcut keys, this is the best solution and will suffice. Thank you Thomas.

Compared to BlueBeam Adobe is absolutelyh useless

Hi Dave

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
