Allow more PDFs to be opened with the PDF Reader

You can change the limit of PDFs to be opened in the Read&Write via the ReadAndWrite.exe.config file:

1. Ensure Read&Write is closed.

2. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Texthelp\Read And Write 12

3. Open the ReadAndWrite.exe.config file using NotePad.

4. Locate the line:-

add key="MaxPDFWindows" value="3"

5. Change this to:-

add key="MaxPDFWindows" value="4" (or whatever value is required)

6. Save the file

This should only be done for an exam and the limit should only be increased up to the maximum needed (eg 4 or 5), as there can be significant performance impact when using PDF Reader with many files.

Please note: The new config file can be deployed to multiple machines.
