I think you mean the fact that you can open many documents in one MDI, but when you hit the close button for what appears to be the MDI container (the main Acrobat Reader window), it closes one of the child windows, instead of the whole application. This is strange, but seems to be intended. To close acroread, you have to hit the main window's (well, the window manager's) close button for each document you're editing, and then once again for acroread itself. Either this, or use File/Exit.

well, thats not really what i meant, its like this, when gnome starts the acroread opens itself (like a startup program in windows), thus many windows appear on the screen, i try to close each and everyone of it but it still remains there. is there any solutions or should i make a bug report? pls don't tell the only way is to upgrade to acroread 7. (the pc is relatively old.)

I've been using acrobat 7 for a while now. It is so much better. It loads faster, looks and works pretty much like the windows version. Try it you'll like it!

Yes, the new acroread is the way to go, it's much faster and supports all of the newest spiffy pdf features... not to mention it looks a whole lot cleaner.
