Jan, I think he is looking for something else. I tried doing what he said,
but Acrobat still opens multiple documents in the same window. Let me tell
you what he wants. If you open more than one document in Word at the same
time, the documents open in separate windows (multiple instances of Word).
So, you can close these files separately. If you try doing the same in
acrobat reader, the documents open in the same window. I reckon, that's the
reason why you have the "Tile -- horizontal and vertical" options in
acrobat.
