I'm trying to open two PDF files simultaneously, in order to compare their contents, one on the right (Win→) and another on the left (Win←) side of my screen.
Unfortunately I'm trying without success. I already tried to open another Foxit reader, using "open as", but nothing worked.
May I have to install Adobe and Foxit to do that?

There's an option in Foxit Reader's settings that allows multiple instances of the program to be opened.
Go to Tools->Preferences->Documents->Allow Multiple Instances
However in Foxit Reader version 7.2.2: go to Edit->Preferences->Documents->Allow Multiple Instances.
This will open single file in multiple windows not in multiple tabs. Then arrange windows vertically or horizontally to view two files simultaneously. However, I have not found the split window command like Adobe Reader in Foxit.

In Foxit Reader 6.0 this option is here:
File->Preferences->Documents->Allow Multiple Instances

2To add to this for Business Version of Foxit which is PhantomPDF You just go to Files>Preferences>Documents> and click the top check box for Multiple instances. A google search for this brought me here but had to tweak it for my version. Added the other way here to help others. – Majestic12 – 2016-03-20T18:14:03.140
