Hi Jon, (I take it you're 'sryan') 

You are correct. There is no easy way to spawn a new window from Acrobat. This is one method I use [strickly] on the web from within a web browser (utilizing the Acrobat plugin rather than Acrobat itself). If you open up IE and go to: 

http://www.slpconsultinginc.com/acrobat/spawn_window/pdf_file_01.pdf <http://www.slpconsultinginc.com/acrobat/spawn_window/pdf_file_01.pdf> 

it should work fine. This script first opens a new HTML page within the current window (since you can NOT spawn a new window from Acrobat) and then opens a new window from that HTML page populating with a different PDF file. Then the previous window goes back to the previous PDF file. That way you have your original PDF file and a new PDF file both opened in their own windows. 

If you are trying to do something other than this... or are trying to use this method directly from Acrobat (instead of utilizing the plugin within the browser) it will probably not work. 

Simply put, Acrobat has no "new.window" object to control in any way (not even by Acrobat's own JavaScript)
