Reopen PDFs Launched in previous sessions on Opening Acrobat/Reader
A Prereference in Acrobat should be there which loads the last session of opened tabs/pdfs on relaunching. Also could provide options to save/load previous sessions.
This may be Important to the users who work on several pdfs at a time but wish to retain the opened docs in the next Acrobat session.
Also Session could be managed to retain even after machine restart and then launching acrobat.

This problem has caused me a lot of headaches over the years, mostly after forced reboots after automatic updates. Would it be so hard to add this feature? I use this same feature all the time with web browsers, and it gets me back to what I was doing a lot faster after a reboot. but I am even more likely to keep many pdf files open for extended periods of time for reference or to remind myself to go back to later (which is all wasted time whenever the computer reboots). in the meantime I might have opened and closed several other pdf files in acrobat. So the "last opened" list isn't so useful. I usually care much more about the "last closed" files.

I am puzzled as to why this isn't already a feature.

This is very much needed, plus an option to reload them by default (like Chrome's: On startup > Continue where you left off).

...and of course the restore option would also be needed, (cf. "Open All in Tabs") in Firefox.) thx!

When I have, say, 20 PDF documents open, I would like to bookmark all them at once in order to get back to this work flow, e.g., after a required restart of Windows or some other exception. In Firefox, there is a function "Bookmark all tabs" that is very handy for that. I tried to find such a function from Acrobat but did not succeed. Please advice - or implement. Thanks!

Many people have multiple browser tabs open, and many browsers now have the ability to automatically re-open ALL tabs that were open when the browser was last closed.
Similarly, people now have multiple documents open in Adobe Acrobat Pro, and sometimes it's necessary to shut down the app, say, to install an OS patch requiring a restart. It would be great if there was an option to re-open with a restoration of all documents open in the last session, like MS Outlook can do. There should also be a way of doing this from INSIDE the program, the way Chrome and other browsers can.

This would make Acrobat so much easier to use.

Acrobat should be able to open last closed file(s) on using shift+control+T.
After closing a tab, pressing shift+ctrl+T should open the last closed tab and after closing a window having multiple tabs, pressing shift+ctrl+T should open the window with all the tabs.
This is similar to what is seen in browsers.Thanks!

Many modern applications allow to continue where you left off, that means when you start the application next time, it opens with all the tabs and documents that were opened before you quit the application.
I'm really astounded this is not part of Acrobat or any other application of Adobe yet. Urgently required!
