I always move my PDF's to my left 24" LCD oriented vertically for preferable reading. To hasten this movement, increasing my efficiency and decreasing my annoyance levels, I set DisplayFusion "Window Location" feature to move AcroRd32.exe to this display.

With Adobe Reader 10.0, this functionality successfully moved the PDF to this display; unfortunately it also left a blank white box, full screen, on the primary display. While I could close my PDF's on the secondary display, I could not close these boxes by right-click close on the task bar and had to end the process. A new box, assigned to AcroRd32.exe, would be created with every PDF.

So then I upgraded to Adobe Reader 10.1 and the functionality is a little bit better, as now when I close the PDF, it also closes this big stupid white box that takes up the entire primary display.

Unfortunately, that big stupid white box annoys the crap out of me, as it gets in the way of my primary screen work.

No doubt, this is an Adobe Acrobat issue but I'd like to hear if anyone has a work around for this annoyance as I can't use this feature like this.

Thanks in advance!

Yep, works fine with beta. I typically avoid beta software as I don't enjoy evaluating possible bugs as much as I prefer maintaining my efficiency, but if this works fine then I'll stick with it.

Thanks!

Disregard previous response, it wasn't inclusive of the fact that I'm receiving a white box on some PDF's and not others! It's reproduceable with the same PDF's, as in the 'good' PDF will be a normal PDF where I want it and the bad one, the white box will be on my primary LCD and the moved one will be in the right PDF.

Not exactly complete...

They actually do contain confidential information concerning clients. While evaluating them, I noticed a pattern:

1. Load bad PDF and you have the contents of the PDF on the requested screen and white box on primary screen.

2. Load another bad PDF (different file) and the PDF is displayed on the primary screen, over the white box and not on the designated screen.

3. There will only be one white box while clicking through 'bad' PDF's, and that same white box will always exist as a 'bad' PDF is open. So let's say I loaded Bad1.PDF, Bad2.PDF, Bad3.PDF and have a white box on my screen since Bad1.PDF, if I close Bad1.PDF the same white box is still there until the other two are closed.

... and now that I've written that, I can't seem to find a 'good' PDF, they're all contributing to the white box issue. I'm going to reboot and see if the problem goes away.

Yes and no. The behaviour is odd and random:

First PDF opened on the designated screen, where I wanted it, life is good.
Every followup PDF is opened on the designated screen, with the white box on the primary display.

I may have only tried one PDF when I reported success above...

The behaviour after disabling the hooks is as follows:

- First PDF opened on the designated screen, where I wanted it, life is good.
- While this PDF is open, the next PDF's will load on the primary screen. Still no white box.

- However, after I close all of the above PDF's, from now on... PDF is on designated screen + white box.
- White box can be closed.
- If PDF left open on designated screen, followup PDF's will be on primary screen.
- If all are closed, and I open one PDF at a time, it will go to the designated screen and I still get the white box.

Hah, this is weird. I just upgraded to 10.1.1 (just came out within days). Semi-new behaviour:

- If I wait a full minute before opening another PDF, it will open on the designated screen, no white box, no issues every time.

- If I load another PDF while the first is still open, they will load on the primary monitor, no white box, no issues.

Oddly enough, this is preferred behaviour even though it's outside of configured behaviour.

It's unknown at this time if the behaviour will continue as such after I reboot.
