Open Multiple PDFs in one Window

When opening multiple PDFs, we would like them to open in one window/instance of Adobe and then just have multiple tabs for each PDF that is open.

Is there a setting or a fix to make this happen?

    Yes, that's a Reader DC screen shot. It's a free upgrade, and DC can open all of the earlier PDF versions.

    Sounds like upgrading is the only option to get what I need.

    I will contact my IT department to see if and/or when this can be done.

    It just takes a couple of minutes to upgrade... once they show up at your desk.

      Is my face red?! Always thought that Reader was a stripped/ free version of Pro...so there is no setting for this, and I will have to ask some dept. for money for subcription?.......


      Reader is a stripped, free version of Acrobat, but in this case it has features that your version doesn't...

      You need to upgrade to Reader DC to have this feature.
