Usually (I mean before I installed Acro 6 and had acrobat 5) I could highlight a bunch of PDFS in a folder, right click, and select open. This would open all the PDF's in Acrobat. Now I get an error after it opens about 10 -- extremely annoying! I have plenty of RAM (767MB -DDR), so I don't see what the problem is. Is there a way I can open as many PDFs at the same time as I want? The error is: "The maximum number of files are already open. No other files can be opened or printed until some are closed"

The limit used to be 20....sounds like they dropped it to 10? (I do not have Acrobat 6, so I don't know).

20 is still the maximum number that you can have open, but if one of the documents prompts a dialog box that you have to respond to, the opening sequence will be aborted, and you may end up with less than the number of documents you selected to be open.

I have the same problem opening files because of the maximum number of files are already open message. How do you close these files? help!

In Acrobat's Window menu, select a file you want to close.

Then either use the File menu Close command, or in the top right corner of your screen click the X in the bottom set of window controls. This set is for the current document; the top set is for Acrobat.
