Multiple Windows and Tabs

[brettdog]

It seems like I can either open documents in tabs or open each document in separate windows.
I would like to do both.
When reviewing schematics, I want to have the schematic open in one window and datasheets/manuals open in another window.
I can sort of make it work if I set preference to not allow multiple instances and open all the documents first, then change the preference and open the schematic.
I can then change it back and whichever window is selected, newly opened docs will be added to it.

Would be better if I could just drag a tab out to create a new window and drag tabs between windows to move them.
This would be similar to how Firefox tabs work.

Would like to be able to save a group of windows and tabs to reopen them at a later date to continue the review.

Regards,
bdog

Hi brettdog,

I've forwarded your comments to Reader PM team so we could consider to support draging a tab out to create a new window and drag between windows to move them. Suggestion ID#: READER-2028.

BTW, In previous Foxit Reader 2.3 version, it supports to open multiple PDF documents in different windows within Foxit Reader. If you'd like to give it a try, please write to [email protected]. Attn: Cherry. Thank you.

I'm sorry if maybe I should not post in a 3 years old topic, however my intention was to join brettog in requesting the tab groups feature (something like Firefox Tab Groups extension). It would be very useful when working with a large amount of pdf files at the same time.

Thank you for your time!

Thanks for your post. I've also forwarded your comments to our PM team for processing reference. Suggestion ID#: PHANTOM-4176. If everything goes well, it should be supported in version 9.0. Thank you.

Bump. I, too, would find this very useful.

RogerC60 Thanks for the post. Have included you comment to the feature tracking system. We will manage to support the function in future version.

Hi Guys,

I want to share the great news that Foxit Reader/PhantomPDF version 9.4.0 has already supported to tear a new tab as a new Window and manage the tabs. You're welcome to download version 9.4.0 from Foxit website (https://www.foxitsoftware.com/downloads/) and give the new feature a try at your convenience. Thank you.
