Is there any way to open the same pdf document i two separate windows using Adobe reader in windows? If I try to open a document a second time it just returns to the first window. I want to have the same document open in several windows to jump to different parts with alt-tab.

Correct answer Bernd Alheit

Open the document in Adobe Reader. Execute the menu Window > New Window.

Make a copy of the document.  Call it "mydoc-B.pdf"  Then open it.


I know how annoying it gets when software tries to be creative for you.  If I double click on the same document twice, open another heavy weight process and display the document again.
