I'm wondering if anyone knows of a document viewer that has a menu of some kind that shows all my open documents. I typically have anywhere between 5 and 20 PDFs open when I'm doing research, and using Super-W or clicking the dock icon to "explode" all the windows is totally useless. On my Mac, most applications have a "Window" menu that shows all open documents in a nice list, like this: enter image description here

Any thoughts?

    If you mean in Unity, you can right clic in the icon to show all open windows. – xangua Mar 20 '15 at 15:38
  • Huh, indeed you can. Also, I just finally found [this](http://askubuntu.com/questions/38505/how-can-i-see-a-list-of-all-open-windows-in-a-panel-in-unity) answer that has several other options. Thanks @xangua! – icurays1 Mar 20 '15 at 15:49
  • @icurays1 If that's the case, close as a duplicate? – muru Mar 20 '15 at 15:56

Using the window manager, as recommended by @xangua, is always a good option. But if you are looking for a way to specifically keep your PDF documents grouped together and easily switch between them you could try out one of the tabbed PDF apps recommended in this Q&A.

My personal favorite would be qpdfview, a highly customizable and lighting-fast PDF viewer with very active development. Here's a quick screenshot of a multi-tab session:

qpdfview also offers an overview of all open tabs via the Tabs menu.
