In new version of Reader, missing "Open Documents As New Tabs In The Same Window"

[Tomasz2888679973ft]

Hello,

I just installed the most recent version of Adobe Reader (and under Settings->General I no longer see this option: 

"Open Documents As New Tabs In The Same Window"

I always selected it, as I prefer to have documents open in separate windows.

How can I do this in the new version?

I have exactly this installed: Adobe Acrobat Reader Continuous Release | Version 2023.001.20064 | 64-bit

Hi @Tomasz2888679973ft 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble.

Have you started experiencing this issue after the recent release?

It seems like you are using the modern viewer of the application. If yes, please click on the hamburger menu (Windows) on the top left corner > Disable New Acrobat

For macOS: Go to View > Disable new Acrobat. and reboot the application.

Then go to Edit (Win), Adobe Acrobat (Mac) > Preferences > General > and check for the option 'Open documents as new tab in same window'

Let us know how it goes.
