Adobe Acrobat Reader XI

[Naveen Mohan from New York]

In Window 8.1, Adobe Acrobat reader XI will not open a PDF document if you already have PDF document open. IT hangs up the system requiring a reboot/restart.

does any body know a way to get around this problem.

Also can you have a newer and older version of acrobat reader in same computer.

Thanks for your help.

It's not a problem I have encountered. Multiple PDFs open in multiple windows for me. No crashing or rebooting. You might consider checking to see if you have the latest version or uninstalling/reinstalling the software.

Do this, please close all programs you have open. Open a pdf and pay attention if you have to click OK or close anything prior your document opening. Then open another pdf and navigate to see if you have any other popup message that got burried.

Naveen, I'm not sure what you mean when you say pdf already open, open in another reader? If so, try devices, print, print in Adobe.

When I installed XI, it would not let me keep the older copy of Acrobat.
