Hi All,
I find that if I have a pdf open in Adobe Reader(7.0) on Desktop A and
click a pdf link in Firefox from Desktop B, the file opens in the Reader
opened in A. Is there a way to make the Reader open another instance in B?
I have my reasons for this. Have checked out Preferences, but nothing
exists as I expected. Need to write a script, perhaps? Cheers.
Try running acroread with the -openInNewWindow option. Alternatively, you may
want to try a different PDF reader, like xpdf, evince or kpdf. The main
benefit of these is that they start much more quickly than acroread.

Complexity. A Windows server out of the box is an elaborate system. Although
it performs specific tasks well (such as being a web server) there are many
services that have a complex set of dependencies, and it is never clear which
ones are necessary and which can be removed to improve the system's
efficiency.
