I'm glad I found this post because I was running out of ideas of where to look for the 'Show each document in its own window' option that was so familiar to me from version 8.

A work around may be present but I think the basis of the rants is that the option was there in 8 but suddenly not in 9. I can't imagine including that option would be a significant burden on the Reader code, particularly since it already exists in 8. Was there a formal decision to leave out the option? Perhaps an oversight? It is these kinds of options that makes good programs great. I personally do not like the 'Group similar taskbar buttons' option in Windows. I intend to reinstall version 8 as soon as possible. I submitted a complaint.

I think this is similar to Microsoft Office 2003's idea to not show full menus as a default. Fortunately there is the option to turn that off. Perhaps these options are helpful to a new user but I welcome the ability to opt out.
