With Apple yet to acknowledge the issue, it still remains unknown how long it will take the developers to fix the issue. Many are wondering how it got past the developers and made it to the stable version of macOS 12 Monterey. People are frustrated since the issue is making it impossible for them to work with multiple PDFs simultaneously. It is interesting to note that the bug has already made an appearance during macOS 12 Monterey Beta and seems to have made it to Monterey 12.1 Beta. Is there a direct email to a Mac engineer so I can berate them for this? I’ve been spamming the feedback. I’m afraid the official release might affect my job by lowering my productivity if this bug isn’t solved.

I select two PDF files from Finder, double click, and the files open in Preview in separate windows despite Preview settings being toggled as “Open all files in one window” and General settings “prefer tabs when opening documents: Always” This has been an issue since the first beta. Anyone else have this? Any ideas on how to solve? The new window popup happens when I choose a pdf from Books and from Finder. I have already selected System Preferences > General > Prefer New Tabs ‘Always’, but that hasn’t done the trick. Hi, I need to have a a few different pdf books open at the same time and each time I open a new one, a new window pops up instead of opening a new tab in Preview. The macOS Finder app is Apple’s default file manager and explorer similar to Windows Explorer. Those who updated to the latest by Apple say that the “Open files in one window” option in the general settings does not seem to work either. That being said, macOS 12 Monterey users are facing another issue with the Finder app where multiple PDFs open in preview windows instead of opening in tabs. Some recent issues include Spatial Audio was not working with Apple Music after updating to Monterey, with others complaining that the Quick Look preview was not working in the Finder app. The number of issues faced by users has already frustrated a lot of users who upgraded their system to macOS 12 Monterey. However, after the release of the stable version, many came forward and reported a number of bugs and glitches. Released on October 25 this year, the OS has had several bugs and issues in its beta testing but that’s totally understandable. MacOS 12 Monterey is the successor to Big Sur and the latest version of Apple’s operating system.
