Try to build a alias/shell function for acroread with option -openInNewWindow.
This f.e. opens as much windows as PDF files are found:
Excellent. Using the "strings" command on the binary (not the cover script that you're executing when you launch /usr/bin/acroread), I've found these options: -file -geometry -tempFileTitle -progressPipe -exitPipe -iconic -tempFile -version -setenv -help -openInNewWindow -display -toPostScript -binary -shrink -expand -scale -landscape -optimizeForSpeed -saveVM -doOPP -printerhalftones -reverse -odd -even -annotsOff -commentsOff -stampsOff -markupsOn -pairs -transQuality -brokenCRD -start -UCS -ADBE -PNGI I don't know what most (if any) of them mean, but one can experiment. Or, of course, one could just invoke it with -help, which as it turns out supplies very extensive option usage information!
