I am extremely happy with PDF Expert (half price for students). It gives me all I need for Uni studies! Annotations, editing of all kinds. Very useful for researching papers.

It would appear that Adobe doesn't give a **** about customer service. Time to start using a different program

I had 19 Files working on for my PhD. Dissertation, I had to save/close them all losing the exact pages I was working on because my Laptop was still on for a week and it needed a break after dozens times of hibernation.
Please add the feature to restore the last session.

another sorrow Thursday on which I have to reopen all pdf manually. the world needs the "reopen all previous documents on startup" option in acrobat!

As a freelancer, I often work on multiple projects at a time. Having each file open with setting as I closed it would be a big time saver for me. Time is money in my world. A lot of the features in previous iterations were time/money savers for me. I don't understand why they went away!

There even seems to be an option for this in preferences . . . but it does not work.

For those comfortable installing scripts, here's a kluge that will accomplish session restore: https://stackoverflow.com/q/12689154/403455

Another suggestion: macOS does not need to restart when updating software (unless the macOS itself is updated). And if Windows is necessary, Parallels can run it as a Virtual Machine inside macOS.
I used to run Windows for a very long time, but would never go back to it.
However, I understand PDFelement may do the job under Windows.

Really, I am sick of reopening all 15 tabs of every-day reference documents after every Windows Update reboot.

The only reason I use Acrobat is the proprietary and non-standard encoding of documents by Adobe, like encoding of Japanese text. Such documents are never read correctly by 3rd party tools relying purely on open part of specifications.

But Adobe software is becoming worse every year, and never improves.

Actually, I've given up on Adobe updating Acrobat DC. I purchased PDF Expert (on Mac).
It can do ALL I want and much more !! Re-opening last session (tabs and windows) is the least.
(eg., how about scrolling 2 .pdf docs side-by-side, and in sync.)

So far, 38 comments asking for the same feature to be implemented... Wondering here if SOME DAY would Acrobat indulge us with the courtesy of a reply ...

Removal of 6pixel.390pixel.AOC272.3456789.10

seems like this feature was standard versions ago and would be simple to turn on considering the interest. Adobe, we acknowledge PDFs have changed the world forerver and for the good of your customers, please provide this functionality.
Thank you.

I've already given up on Acrobat, and purchased Nitro Pro instead. This "bug" is so annoying, and so frequent, that I just can't use Acrobat anymore.

I would like to see this work just like the browser does. The product reopens previous tabs.

AGREED!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the same request.

When can this be done ?
Windows update crashed my session forcing an unexpected hard restart so that the files that were high priority and open are now closed and to be hunted for...

"Reopen tabs on startup" - was an option on the older stand-alone program and is still a must. I have several tabs for various projects open at once and it is inconvenient to save and click when I may need to shut down for a reboot or from the blue screen of death. The "recent" option only works if you click on save. If you open the document from Chrome for example and don't click on save, it won't appear in "recent"...per Adobe Tech Support.

Reopen Document Tabs on Startup. If you work on multiple projects and need to reboot, for any reason, you have to remember all the tabs and relaunch.
