Multiple instances of the manual?

[Echo38]

Having spent at this point over seven hours reading the most excellent manual, I am wishing for a method of having multiple windows/tabs/instances open in the manual, so that I can quickly flip back and forth between pages for reference (e.g. comparing the picture on one page with the description of the switches four pages later, or searching for the description of an acronym while not losing my place in the part describing advanced operation of the relevant system). Adobe Acrobat doesn't seem to allow multiple instances or tabs, so is there a web version? Or any other good way I can do this?

If you are talking about the pdf file then you could always make a couple of copies (i.e. A-10manual.pdf, a-10manual1.pdf, etc.) and open more than one at a time in separate instances of your pdf viewer. Not exactly elegant, but functional.

That works! Cool.

I've discovered a much better solution--with the manual open in Adobe Reader, simply go to the Window menu and select New Window. This opens a second instance, and the two can be switched between by selecting them at the bottom of the Window menu, or by Alt-Tabbing or using the Windows Taskbar.
