Kofax PowerPDF (formerly Nuance PowerPDF)

PDF Documents Display in Tabs

With the latest version of PowerPDF, documents can open in tabs, instead of a new window.  However, there are still ways to view a PDF document in a separate instance of PowerPDF instead of a Tab.           Here are three different ways:

 

By default, multiple PDF documents open in new tabs instead of new windows.

OPTION 1: Documents can be opened in a new instance by clicking and dragging the tab away from the program, and then releasing the tab.

OPTION 2:  Right click on the document tab, and select “Open in New Instance”.

OPTION 3:  To have your documents ALWAYS open in new windows:

Go to File / Options / General / Basic Tools

UN-check the option to Open documents as new tabs within the same window” (requires restart)  (that means JUST restarting the program  NOT your compute!!)

 

Close and reopen the PowerPDF program.
