In the following guide we will demonstrate how to run a number of PDF files from a single PC on multiple screens using the software Monitors Anywhere.
We recommend using Foxit Reader as the application that runs the PDF files. It’s a freeware application which works very well in multiple instances scenarios and also very easy to use.
First we will install Foxit Reader on the host PC.

Click Next on all other screens and finish the installation.
Start Foxit Reader (icon should appear on the desktop) then select File > Prefernces
Go to:
Documents and set the following:
check the “Allow multiple instances”
Set the mode to “Full Screen”
Go to:
Trust Manager and set the following:
