(a) Newer Reader versions have a "Window"/ "New window" menu item that opens 
a 2nd window for the PDF you are currently viewing. 8.1.2 for Windows has 
it, but don't know when was this option introduced (I think 7.x did not have 
it), neither if it was preserved in 9.x.

(b) You can start a 2nd instance of Reader with "acrord32.exe /n" and open 
the same PDF there. This switch is recognized by old Reader versions too.
