adobe acrobat reader don't show recent files

[Guest]

Hi

When I'am using adobe acrobat reader, and opening pdf-documents from my computer, it doesn't show my recent open files:

Can you please help me - do I need some settings I don't know about. The only place I can find something about the opening window, is under settings:

Same issue. It will not show recent files nor will is reopen files from last session even though I've followed all the instructions and checked the right boxes. I am going to stop using this product soon because it's very frustrating to have to start over and I've spent way too much time trying to fix it.

Sorry to say this, but I'm glad I'm not alone.  How in the world would you even offer this feature without it (really...EVER) working? I get shown files from MONTHS ago.  So I have to keep the app open so I can access the files I've worked on recently. And if it crashes, then I have to REMEMBER what I had open.  This is so...90s.

Same here....all of a sudden, I am having the issue of recent files not showing up in Acrobat Pro. Very annoying. Most of my files are accessed from Dropbox. I hope we have a solution soon...

Got the same issue here – another example of breaking stuff that didn't need fixing.

Not sure how this thread can be marked as Solved when users are obviously still having issues – seems that Adobe Mods aren't keeping an eye on the ball.

UPDATE – SOLVED!
Removed Acrobat v23, downloaded and installed Acrobat Pro 2020 from the downloads page.
I now have recent files back!
Adobe – get your act together!

I am also having the same issue. My recent file all of a sudden disapeared and in addition, Acrobat doesn't re-open the files that were open when it was shutdown. I cannot possibly remember all the files I had open everytime I restart Acrobat!

I have the same problem with my MAC but not over PC!!!

I have the same issue. It just stopped working for me, and the "recent files" list is stuck at a month ago. I'm going to reinstall and see if that works. Irriating!

I have the same problem with my Acrobat, I see only old files, and none of the recent files are visible.

I have the same Adobe Arobat DC version on the MAC as well as the PC - why is it the recent files on the PC actually show and yet the one for the MAC only shows what is local and/or cloud and are months old - it defeats the purpose of labelling them RECENT. Has there been any follow up or fix to this issue? It is frustrating to have it work as it should on the PC and not on the MAC - I use both computers so I really don't have a specific preference but it would perfect if it works.

I'm only on a Mac. It doesn't work for me. One of my main issues with Adobe is that when they roll out all their fancy new features, they create bugs on old features that used to work fine. I'd rather have a solid system that works. I'm usually reluctant to upgrade, for fear of what new ugly surprises may come with the new features.

Hi,

Can you please update to the latest version (Help -> Check for updates) and then give this a retry. We have fixed 

the known issue around it with last update.
Thanks,

It works now. Updated....opened a couple files and now they are in the recent list. Thank you.

[Tranquil_dynamism5FEA]

Thank you so much. I have updated to latest version available and the RECENT works now on the MAC too!
