The following preference controls window behavior (the exact behavior has changed between Acrobat 7 and 8):
Edit --> Preferences --> Documents panel Open Settings checkbox
"Show each document in it's own window"

To Open Multiple Files from a Command Line

You can run gedit from a command line and open a single file or multiple files. To open multiple files from a command line, type the following command, then press Return:

gedit file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt

When the application starts, the files that you specified are displayed in the gedit window.

Unfortunately the Multiple Document Interface (MDI) was dropped in Acrobat 9. For further information check out this [url=http://blogs.adobe.com/acrobat/2008/09/mdi_vs_sdi_in_acrobat.html]article[/url].
