@hreich That is really good to hear - glad you sorted it!

Problem is back,  no permanent solution but this two options which are half solutions to problem

1. restore-ing image, which now i don't have (the one in which everything works as it should)

2.using option FULLSCREEN in dcs - but then when i launch the game, main DCS windows is hidden, so i have to go to task control panel - and select dcs and option bring to front..Then DCS is shown on my main monitor and in full..But if i want to read pdf i have to click on area outside dcs, nad dcs screen gets minimized again

What is your current monitor config file?

And where are your monitors positioned in windows display settings? And what resolutions are they?

Ok where is my config file

_  = function(p) return p end
name = _('H_0-HR_F18_4-screens')
description = 'Generated from Helios Profile 0 - HR_F18_ 4-screens'
CENTER_MFCD = { x = 720, y = 2496, width = 1200, height = 1200 }
FA_18C_RWR = { x = 322, y = 3395, width = 214, height = 211 }
LEFT_MFCD = { x = 0, y = 1082, width = 850, height = 850 }
RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 1070, y = 1082, width = 850, height = 850 }
Viewports = {
  Center = {
    x = 0,
    y = 0,
    width = 1920,
    height = 1080,
    aspect = 1.77777777777778,
    dx = 0,
    dy = 0
  }
}
UIMainView = Viewports.Center
GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT = Viewports.Center

Doesn't seem to be much wrong there, but you can try this one

F18_4-screens_v2.lua

I have created a displays table, based on your display settings above (4 screens now?)
which tells DCS which screens to use and where they are.

You CAN NOT run in fullscreen mode and keep DCS open while reading a PDF, that is a Windows "feature" and nothing to do with DCS, just run in windowed mode (fullscreen off)
I don't think it makes a difference anyway when running multiple monitors.
