It would be really helpful to be able to pin regularly used documents so they could be opened readily without a plodding through File > Open or scrolling through Home > Recent. MS office products do this so nicely...

Correct answer hakeae

This was a while ago but just in case you are still interested  (I only found out recently myself) :

The star is not visible until you hover over the row and it turns grey. Don't know why I haven't noticed it before 😞 .

 

 

Click on the star and then it appears at the top:

It would be even more helpful to be able to pin commonly used FOLDERS into the Save As dialog box, rather than having it constantly shuffled into the 5 most recently used folders. 

 

Again Microsoft Office does this very nicely and uniformly across all apps.

Hey!

 

I read your suggestion given above, that's a good idea. Well there's a way you can make your regular used documents easily accessible within Acrobat/Reader DC.

On the "Recent" files list, right next to the file, there is a "Star" icon to mark your document as starred file. All those files which have been starred will be shown/listed under "Starred" folder at the left hand side pane.

 

Hope this would help!

 

Thanks,

I have been looking for this in my Adobe Acrobat Standard DC and do not see it. Is my version too old or am I just looking in the wrong place?

Thanks for showing the image in your question.  That helped me locate the list and figure out how to pin the file.
