'Reopen PDFs from last session' doesn't function properly
Sometimes it works and sometimes it only opens a few files from my previous session.
I suspect that you have to close Acrobat in a very specific way for this function to work properly. For example, if I close Acrobat while many files are open, and, after half of the files are already closed, a pop-up asks me if I want to save an unsaved file, 'Reopen PDFs from last session' will only open those files that were still open before saving the unsaved file. As such, all the files that were closed prior to the pop-up will not be re-opened. This is not how it should work.
The last 'session' to be re-opened should be defined as all the files that are open when the user closes Acrobat. E.g., if there are 10 files open and the user clicks the 'x' to close Acrobat, ALL 10 of those files should be considered part of the session, regardless of any pop-up that happens as those files are being closed.
As any academic will tell you, this functionality is critical. I can easily have 10 to 15 files open at a time. And since Windows requires so many restarts for their updates, the ability to easily re-open the complete previous session would be very appreciated.
Thank you.

This used to work, and stopped working with an update late October / early November 2023 - please fix it!! I often work in 30+ pdf files simultaneously, and Open Recent Files does not list enough options - not to mention is incredibly time consuming to reopen files one at a time!
