How to stop "Reopen Closed PDFs" message.

[Inception777]

I've followed all of the steps outlined in previous forums and it still continues. I'm using Adobe DC Pro. Thanks.

Hi there 

We are sorry for the trouble. As described you want to disable 'Reopen closed PDF' messages

Please try the following preference settings: 

Go to Edit (Windows), Adobe Acrobat/Reader DC (Mac) > General > Uncheck, 'Open PDFs from the last session on Acrobat Launch' > Click OK and check.

Also, make sure you have the latest version 20.006.20042 installed. Go to Help > Check for Updates.

Let us know how it goes

Regards

Amal

I have done both of those. Not sure where to go from here.

Hi there 

We are sorry to hear that.

If you do not wish to see the Blue popup which ask you to Restore your Previous session, you can do it as

1) Close Acrobat/Reader and then Open regedit.exe in Run command.

2) Navigate to the Path: HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\ and create a key with name "FeatureState"

3) In FeatureState Create a new item with Type: "REG_DWORD" Name: "SessionRestorePromptAbnormalExit" and Value: 0

4) Relaunch Acrobat/Reader and observe that the Blue popup won't be coming again for you.

For more information, you may refer to a similar discussion (https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat/asking-how-to-stop-the-quot-reopen-closed-pdfs-quot-message-f...)

Let me know if that helps.

I have followed all instructions and message still pops up every time I open new document. Even more frustrating is that closing documents opens Acrobat home on its own so I have to close every document tvice. And then next time I open a document message pops up and process repeats.

The set up is Adobe X pro for pdf editing, DC for pdf viewing and I use PTC teamcentre from where most of viewed pdfs come.
