How can I save all my settings and open documents to have them open on start?

Hey guys,

I have to work around 10 .pdf files at once and it's very annoying to open them up every time I start Adobe Acrobat again and first set up Scroll Down through sites, Zoom size to 125% and so on.

Is there any way to save my options and open documents so when I start Adobe Acrobat those last 10 documents start exactly set up as I did it before closing the program?

Thanks in advance!

There's no built-in feature that does that, unfortunately. The closest you can get is to tick the option to restore the last view setting used when re-opening a file, but you'll still need to open those files manually each time. You can find this setting under Edit (or the Reader menu if you're on a Mac) - Preferences - Documents.

What is possible, though, is to use a script to do it. For example, I've developed a (paid-for) tool that allows you to save a "session" and then load it afterwards and it will open all the files you had open at the moment you saved it, at exactly the same location.

You can find it here: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat/Reader -- Save and Load Sessions
