How to save session?

Is it possible to save Acrobat sessions? When I work, I find myself opening and working on many many files at once. If I interrupt my work, I have the possibility of reopening the last session. But if I wanted to reopen sessions that were previous to the last one, I can't find a way to do so, but it would be very useful for me, for example, to be able to reopen a session from last month, perhaps to resume work that I have left unfinished or that needs to be revised. Thank you for any help. I hope I have been clear in my request.

This is an interesting request, but I do not know, if it makes much sense, because most of what I worked upon a month ago, is finished by now. It simply does not make sense to go back to the full session. And then, I would be more interested in seeing something like this in Word or InDesign or Excell or equivalent.

You can reopen the files from the last session:

There's no built-in feature like that in Acrobat, which is why I created a (paid-for) tool that adds it.

You can find it here: https://www.try67.com/tool/acrobat-reader-save-and-load-sessions

Thanks, I had read about paid tools, but I was hoping for a solution offered free of charge by Acrobat.

Not all the tools can be given away for free. IMHO, If it does what you want to get, then $50 are well invested.
