Problem with multiple documents
Posted: Tue Dec 05, 2017 9:53 pm
I have am a registered user of PDF-Xchange Viewer. I just did an update, and the way the new version is handling multiple documents is unworkable for me. I would like to go back to the older version (but don't know the version number). Is it possible to get older versions?
The problem is that I want multiple documents to appear in the Windows taskbar, instead of in a tab bar withing Viewer (I need to maximize vertical document viewing space). With the older version, an additional instance of the program would run for each PDF. But in the current version, if on the General Preferences tab "single document" is selected, when an additional PDF is loaded from my file manager the already-loaded PDF gets closed. Alternatively, if I check the Multiple Documents box and uncheck Tabbed Documents, again a second document will load but this closes the first document.
The problem is that for the Multiple Documents choice, whether or not Tabbed Documents is selected makes no difference.
So in summary, two questions: (1) What is the latest version of Viewer that will allow multiple PDFs to appear in the Windows taskbar (e.g. running multiple instances of Viewer), and (2) is it possible to get a copy of that version?
