General preferences
The General panel of the Preferences dialog box provides the following preference
options:
Automatically Save Document Changes To Temporary File Every
Determines how often Acrobat automatically saves changes to an open document.
Automatically Detect URLs From Text
Specifies whether web links that weren't created with Acrobat are automatically identified
in the PDF document and become clickable links.
Open Cross-Document Links In Same Window
Closes the current document and opens the document being linked to in the same window,
minimizing the number of windows open. If the document being linked to is already open

document. If you do not select this option, a new window opens each time you click a link
to a different document.

Option (Mac OS), and choose Open Link In New Window.
