Using Acrobat and Acrobat Reader simultaneously

Windows XP
Acrobat Pro 6.0
Reader 8

I am a translator and need to display different language versions of documents. I use 3 screens. Unfortunately, unlike in Office XP, I cannot drag a document from Word and drop it onto another screen while the other one remains on the main screen. Is there a way that I can do this or if not any possible way to use simultaneously Acrobat for editing with text tools and note tools and Reader to read the original language version on another screen? Good one uh?

Thanks - Seadag

You might try using the unsupported switch to start two instances of the product from the command line simultaneously.
acrobat.exe /n

There is a bit more information on the following post as well:
