Hello Rajeev,

This most certainly is possible You can open a second window of the Editor simply by dragging the document tab away from the current window, as in this article: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowle ... nge-Editor

If you need the open side by side within the same window, this can be done from the View tab, in the Documents and tabs dropdown, on the far right of the toolbar:

Instead of starting a new thread, I'll ask in this one.

I would like to buy a new 27" monitor to work on two tabs at the same time.

Should I pay attention to something (aspect ratio, resolution) when choosing to make it as effective as possible?

I will add that I will mostly use PDFs in A2 (594 x 420mm) and A3 (420 x 297mm) formats.

Hello KoLoLoLo,

If you have this set up inside the Editor's preferences:

You should have no issues even if the two monitors are using different DPI.

Kind regards,
Stefan
