Opening multiple Acrobat standard 11 PDF files (new and previous) and having it open on a second display EVERY TIME.

Cannot get this to consistently work.  Can get Acrobat 11 to remember the first window opening on second screen, but if the rest of the files are opened at same time (right click multiple and open) only the FIRST will open (that is: if any of the files are NEWLY opened on this computer), we need to avoid having to drag any newly opened PDF to the second monitor first to save the location and then close and re-open...that defeats the purpose of our project...we can't drag stuff in this case...the user is a very high exec who deals with a heavy workload and he needs it to just open on the second window (it's a painful picky circumstance....)

...we just need Acrobat to always remember "OPEN ON THIS MONITOR"  (second one), without exception)

Is this possible?  I have opened a new acrobat instance, moved to second screen, not maximize, closed and it re-opens on the correct screen....I've checked the option in Acrobat to remember location of window....I've installed a program called DisplayFusion, but nothing works...beyond opening the FIRST new file each time on second screen....will accept any 3rd party solution for this....thank you!

Hi Brett,
What version of Windows? Does he use Windows/File Explorer? If not, what file manager does he use to perform the right-click-multiple-open? Regards, Joe

Hi Joe, this is under Windows 7 Professional (64bit), and he's an administrator on the system....he's right clicking the files listed in EXPLORER and choosing OPEN from the context menu.  Thank you for responding.  If I can answer anything else please let me know.
