Bug: Session restore opens all tabs on the page of the last active tab
Description
Acrobat Reader seems to store only one page number.
When opening it tries to open all files with this same page number.
Reproduced with a second pair of PDFs (8 and 45 pages).
Preconditions
- Open PDFs from last session on Acrobat launch: enabled
- Restore last view settings when reopening documents: enabled
Steps to Reproduce
- Open two files as two tabs in the same window.
- File 1: Go to a page number > than max page number of file 2.
- File 2: Go to any page except the last one.
Example:
| File | Number of pages | Page before closing | Notes |
| ------- | --------------- | ------------------- | --------- |
| File 1 | 395 | 150 | 150 > 119 |
| File 2 | 119 | 10 | 10 < 119 |
- Make file 1 the active file.
- Close Acrobat Reader completely (Command + Q).
- Reopen Acrobat Reader.
Expected Result
- File 1: Page 150 is active.
- File 2: Page 10 is active.
Actual Result
- File 1 opens on page 150.
- File 2 opens on page 119 (last page of the file).
Variant
Same steps, but make file 2 the active file before closing Acrobat Reader.
The expected result is the same.
Actual result:
- Both files open on page 10.
