I'm sorry if this seems obvious and I'm sure it has been asked before but I can't find anything in knowledge base and nothing comes up in forum search for multiple windows/views.
The question is how do I open more than one window viewing one file?
I've got a large file (>1500 pages) and I want to be able to read from two parts of it at the same time so i don't have to move backwards and forwards in the document.
In Microsoft Word you have the option of Window-> Split to see different parts of the same doc.
My acrobat reader (6.0.2, win 2k) doesn't have this option under the Window menu. If I try to open the same .pdf file a second time it just brings the existing window to the front. If i try and start a second instance of Acrobat Reader the existing one just comes to the front.

Grateful for any pointer!
