Turn Off View Document After Creation - Version 7.0 Standard

How can I configure my Acrobat 7.0 Standard so that it does not display the document automatically as soon as I create it. I often print multiple page displays into Acrobat, and then link them together into a single document, but it wastes time if I the program automatically displays the page after I create it.

I know this has to be simple fix, but I could not find it in the Help Menu nor previous posts here.

Thanks!

P.S. A tip: When creating multiple files to be concatenated (linked together) into a single document, I have found that naming them using a single letter of the alphabet allows me to keep them in the order I created them in easily. (Up to 26 documents anyway.) Using numbers only works until you get to "10", as Acrobat puts "11" right after "1" when it automatically arranges the documents. It's a pain to have to manually re-arrange them.

You have 2 places to do this. In the MS Office application you have to check the "Settings" tab of the "Change PDF Settings" and uncheck the "View PDF Results" option. And for the Adobe PDF printer you need to look at the "Gerneral" tab of the printer properties and click on the "Printing Preferences" button and uncheck the "View PDF results" option.
