Open documents in different windows in Acrobat Readers

Question

I am using Acrobar Reader version 2023.008.20470. What I want to do is to open documents in different windows, not in different tabs. I think the procedure should be the following: 1. Disable new Acrobat Reader 2. Choose Edit\Preferences 3. Uncheck "Open documents as new tabs in the same window". The problem is only that I cannot get the system to save this change. When I reopen Acrobat Reader the check is back in the box. Is there anything than can be done? I am on windows 11.

I am sorry to see that no one has a solution to this. Not being able to open documents in different windows severly restricts the use of Adobe reader, and the only thing one can do is to find another app where it is possible. Let me also mention another problem that might be connected with this. It is no longer seems possible to keep an Adobe reader window open side by side with any other window (by dragging the windows to the right and left sides). This was an extremely useful feature.
