Hello, is there a possibility in Acrobat Reader, if several documents are opened, to save all documents with one command. I always open several documents and always have to close them individually.

Yes, it's possible, but it requires writing a script and placing it in a .js file in a specific folder on the local machine.

I've actually written a script that does that without saving the files, but adjusting it to save them should not be too difficult:

I've updated the tool so it now adds two buttons to the application: One for closing all files without saving, and one that automatically saves them and then closes them.
