Open multiple docs

Community Beginner ,
Oct 17, 2017 Oct 17, 2017

Hello!  First, let’s just get this out of the way, I don’t know much about Adobe Reader other than clicking on a PDF and reading it.

The problem I’m having is I don’t even know how to phrase my question to find the answer in the FAQ section. Here’s what I want to be able to do.

I have several PDF documents that I want all to open when I launch Adobe Reader.  I’d like them all to open in the same order.  Is this possible?

I think you mean something like a "saved session" which you could load and it will open various files, in a specific order.

If that's correct it can be done using a script, like this one I've developed: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat/Reader -- Save and Load Sessions

There's no built-in command in Reader that does that.

Hi Jacquesf,

If I understand correctly, you would like to combine all the pdf files into one so that you an open them all together?

As you have mentioned above, you have several pdf document that you want to open when you launch Adobe Reader. So this is only possible when you combine all those pdf together otherwise you can open them but separately one-by-one not all at once.

If this is what you are looking for, then you cant do this with the help of "Combine PDF" and that feature you can access with the Adobe Adobe PDF Pack or Acrobat DC subscription service only.

How to Use Adobe PDF Pack

Akanchha

"Saved session," correct!  That answers my question and gives me a workaround.  Many thanks!
