How to open the same document in evince/gedit multiple times?

Question

I want to open a pdf file multiple times with evince. I want to do this to be able to look at different sections of the same file at the same time. Everytime I try to open the file again, it only brings up the already opened evince window with my pdf file. I also tried to open a new evince window and then opening my file by using the menu of evince.

Is there any possibility to do this?

I also have the same issue with gedit. I managed to open the same text file twice, but everytime I save my file an annoying bar in the other window tells me that my file was modified.

Answer 1

In evince you can use File --> Open a Copy to open another window showing the same file.
