InDesign UI

[russellpandBonnieBlue]

I finally had to make the switch to Adobe CC and I'm having a big problem with InDesign at the moment (I'm sure PS and Illustrator will frustrate me later). Because of the nature of my graphic design work, I DO NOT like tabbed documents in an application, I prefer one doc open, with all the menus, control bars and tools floating "in front" of my work so I can zoom in really tight when I need to...etc. I don't need to explain myself. ID CS6 allowed me to do this easily. I cannot figure out how to set this up via Preferences, or any other way in ID CC 2017. This will also be a problem with PS and AI I presume. It is the way I work. But I do like many of the other new features.

Does anyone have any suggestions. I hope it's not, "get used to tabbed docs?"

Regards,

Preferences > Interface > Panels ? Or I didn't get somewhat here?

Sorry winterm. My working document is still floating above a doc with all the tool boxes and stuff. Here is a screen shot:

If you want the old school Mac behavior, go to the InDesign Window menu and near the bottom, uncheck Application Frame.

Under the Windows menu (tick or untick):

Gene and Derek!

Hello! I'm a happy camper now! Er, does this work in the other basics (AI, PS, er, that freaking Acrobat?). Owe you one...both one!

Photoshop and Ai has the Application Frame option.

Acrobat DC:

Launch a PDF>Navigate to Edit>Preferences>General>Uncheck the option "Open documents as new tabs in same windows" and then relaunch Acrobat.

You would now see PDF' opening in new Windows and not in a tabbed format in the same window.
