Missing option on latest version: "open documents as new tabs in the same window"

[Scott27373247h2uy]

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 2022.003.20282, just installed this week and is up to date.  On my previous computer I was able to uncheck the box for "open documents as new tabs in the same window" to prevent new documents from opening as tabs.  I prefer them to open in their own new window.  Does the newest version remove this option and force users to use tabs?  Or am I missing something here..?  Thx

Hi Scott27373247h2uy,

Thank you for reaching out.

Please let us know if the option disappeared after updating the application.

Did you try preparing the application installation? If not, go to Help > Repair Installation.

Would you mind sharing the screenshot of the Acrobat window showing how it opens the PDF?

Did you notice any other changes?

Thanks,

Meenakshi

I had this same problem, and apparently even Adobe employees in these forums don't realize that this is the default behavior of "new Acrobat." For now, the only way to fix it is to select "Disable new Acrobat," or something similar (I've already disabled mine and I'm never going back if I don't have to!) from the "hamburger menu." Just amazing customer care around here.

This option seems to have been completely removed from "new Actobat"
In order to get this option back you must disable new acrobat from the 'hamburger' menu on the top left.
this also affects 22.003.20310
