Does anyone know of a way to browse through multiple PDF documents easily? I realize that when you open multiple documents it lists them in the Windows menu, but I was looking for something like navigation buttons.

I'm open to third party viewers as well as just a tip in Adobe Reader.

Thanks
 
...would tiling the windows work for you?

window > tile

I'd like to see them full screen as I flip through them... or as close to full screen as possible.
 
...on a mac you can have multiple pdf files open in fullscreen mode (apple/command 'L') and when it launches you can cycle through them using the apple/command + ~ (tilde key)...

...flick through pages using the arrow keys...

...not sure if a PC equivalent of this but perhaps control + ~ (tilde key) to cycle through the windows in full screen mode...

Wow Thats cool! Are you using Adobe Reader or does your mac have a pdf reader with this functionality built in?

Unfortunately my question does pertain to a PC.
 
...this is acrobat professional 7 i use, not used the free download version 8 of reader yet, do you have full screen option in your view menu with the free version?

...is it the free version Acrobat 8 you have?

I'm using Acrobat 6.0 Standard.

Is there a name for the function/process/feature of using the ~ key? Like if i were to look it up in the Acrobat help file what would I look under?
 
...the tilde shortcut is an overall system shortcut in mac os for any window, including folder windows...

...on XP it appears to be F6...

...when in full screen mode you can scroll through pages using a scroll wheel mouse or just by click on the screen...

...general windows short cuts here:
