Adobe Acrobat Standard XI - Open Recent Files

[zizzy2005]

I recently had to uninstall & reinstall Adobe Acrobat Standard XI because of an issue with the adobe printer not working.  Prior to the un-install, I had an "open" button to the left of the "create" button on the quick tools toolbar.  However, after the re-install the "open" button is now gone.  - Please note: I am not talking about the file folder icon to the right of the "create" button.  The one on the left would pull up a list of about 50 of the most recently opened pdfs & I could even search the list to find the file I needed.

Anyway, does anyone know how to turn on this "button"?

This is a screen shot of adobe showing the "open" button that I am talking about:

and here is a screen shot of what the quick tools looks like after the re-install:

Hi zizzy2005,

As per the issue description mentioned above, you are not getting option to open pdf files in toolbar in Acrobat XI, is that correct?

Could you try following troubleshooting steps:

1- Download and run cleaner tool on the machine to uninstall Acrobat: Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs 

2- Reboot the machine

3- Download and install Acrobat XI from here: Download Acrobat XI, Acrobat X

4- Reboot the machine again and check. 

You need your Acrobat serial number to complete the installation.

Let us know if you need any help.
