Up until this morning, Acrobat Pro DC saved my open tabs along with maybe 50 recent files that I use regularly. Today, the tabs are gone and there's nothing under "Recent". Anyone know of a fix?

same problem, I even uninstalled and reinstalled, and now there are no recent "local" documents,even though I have opened many in different ways

Supper anoying when extracting and saving new documents. I seems like a heavy handed way to make people use adobe cloud

Hi,

Sorry to hear about the issue that you are facing

Could you please let us know if you Acrobat Crashed when PDF tabs were opened?

Because if that is the case, the recent file list would not have been saved by then.

Do let me know if Acrobat did not crahsed and your Recent list just disappeared without it too ?

Thanks

Hi

If the list of Recent files has been cleared and you can't see them either from File > Open Recent or from the home screen, then the only fix is to open them again.

You might be able to use your computer OS to assist. On a Mac, for instance, you can do a Spotlight search to find PDFs and specify a date range. Windows probably has similar Search features.
