unable to open two pdf files in the same window

Hi all,

I have my adobe settings to display the pdf file within the browser window.
When a pdf file is already opened and when I try to launch another pdf file
I am unable to open it.. because I get a javascript error like" no such interface is supported"..
To overcome this I tried to open PDF externally from the browser (i.e seperate
window, "Display PDF in browser" is unchecked), then there is no error when
navigating, but they are forced to save the pdf file before opening it.

Is there any other solution to open the pdf file without saving?.
Any other settings to be done in Adobe Acrobat to launch 2 pdf files in the same window?.

Kindly Advice

Many thanks in advance

Can you clarify, are you trying to launch two PDFs in the browser window or Acrobat?

There is an example of how to do this on Joel Geraci's blog at:
