Error when relaunching Adobe #2

jkeller2017 commented 7 years ago

Hi,

I am using Adobe Reader 9.5.5 under Os X 10.11.6 I get the menu Save/Open/Delete and things seem to work at first glance:

I can save a session
if I close all the tabs and don't close adobe and click on "Open Session", it will open again the tabs as expected. But the problem is when I close Adobe and relaunch the program. Then there is no session saved at all, all the information has been lost. That's a pity, I have the feeling the program is almost correct...

Thank you for your work. Best.

I have the exact same problem with the exact same acroread version (9.5.5) under Gentoo Linux. It might be a permissions problem, i.e. the script might try to persist the session information in a directory it does not have write access to.

Can somebody tell me where the session info is persisted between restarts? Looking at the code was not helpful for me...

In edit-> preferences, go to the Javascript section, then enable menu items Javascript execution privileges. Then go to security (enhanced) and disable protected mode at startup.

Hi, I tried, but it does not work... I am using Adobe Reader 9.5.5 under Os X 10.11.6.

Not sure buddy - I'm using it on Adobe Reader DC on Windows 10 and that's what I had to do to get it to work. If there is Reader DC for Mac, maybe try it on that.

Hi,

Thank you for your message. It works indeed with the latest Adobe Reader DC 2018 OS X 10.11.6. Save the javascript file in /Contents/Ressources/JavaScripts/ and relaunch the program. Would be perfect if there was a regular autosaving option when one exits the program for instance (a "last session" button).

Hello, I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC on Windows 10 and I have the same problem. I had first to "Enable menu items JavaScript execution privileges" to make it work, but the sessions disappear as soon as I restart Acrobat Pro DC. In Security (Enhanced) there is no option for Protected mode anymore (it seems to be off by default now) Acrobat DC Pro security

Any idea how to really have the persistent sessions ? Thanks
