How To - Disable Documents Showing In Taskbar for Adobe Acrobat Reader
Many as do I find it quite annoying to have applications showing all the documents you have open or also known as child windows in your Windows taskbar. In my mind these child windows should only show within the parent window/application only. Here’s how to make all child windows (documents) in Adobe Reader to not show up in the Windows taskbar and end up with just one task showing.
Steps for Adobe Acrobat Reader version 6.x and version 7.x
- Load Adobe Reader.
- Go to Edit menu -> Preferences.. or press CTRL-K.
- In the preferences dialog go to “General” on the left hand side.
- Under “General” uncheck “Show documents in the taskbar (takes effect after next launch of Acrobat)”.
