I just upgraded to Acrobat Reader DC. I want to display two documents side by side so I can compare them and in this latest and greatest, better than sliced bread version I don't seem to be able to do this [removed] ????

Hi Doug,

Can you please mention the dot version of Reader which you are using?

If you are viewing pdf in tabbed browsing view and you want to open the other pdf in a different window so that you can compare pdfs, you can drag one of the tabbed pdf out of Acrobat window and the pdf will open up in a new window.

Regards,

Rahul

I got the solution.

1. Open two files in Acrobat. (Acrobat can open multiple files in only one widow with two files.) 

2. Go to Windows menu.

3. Click Tile and click Horizontal for files to be visible side-by-side. 

4. Click Tile and click Vertical for files to be visible top and down.

Hi, I just wanted to note, that your points 3 and 4 should be reversed, in that selecting Tile [cid:80e8ddee-5e87-4381-959f-338b133579f4] Horizontal, will set your documents one on top of each other. If you select Tile [cid:1a182443-cd10-41c9-9c88-a3b2ca793fc2] Vertical, will set up your pdf's next to, or along side each other, as in one on the right and one on the left.

Otherwise, thank you for teaching me how to access this point, I didn't know where to look for it, ta.

Cheers,

Can you show screen shots of this procedure? I can't get them to appear on the same screen and have to back and forth between them. In word it is very easy but I can't figure out how to do in adobe. Thanks

Hello

Can I say that I am totally lost with your answers. I am disparetly trying to view 2 documents at the same time but in vein. Cannot find the tile option you are talking about and cannot get one doc into the other that is displayed as 2 pages. 

 

More over, I am struggling with Adobe DC changing its toolbar. Instead of one click on View, I have to click on the lines, scroll down till i find view. For people with disability, it is all very painful.

 

Sorry to moan but I have been struggling for an hour to see the 2 docs in vein. I even try to hear on read while I read the other but it does not work.

 

HEEEElP!

Repeat the process shown below in the image of the menus, I tried it with up to three windows, and as you can see it worked very well.

 

One of the images shows which version I'm working on.

 

I want it to work for you. 🙂

Thank you. It would be nice if Adobe would tell you that. It worked.
