acrobat reader doesn't remember pdf files #132

Open lazymonkey2 opened 6 years ago

lazymonkey2 commented 6 years ago

Hi, I'm using adobe reader XI to see pdf documents. I have pinned adobe reader to win10 taskbar, and by right clicking on its icon I can see a list of pdf files that I previously opened. However this feature works only when I open pdf documents from Windows File Explorer. When I open them from Tablacus no document is remembered. Can you fix it? Thanks.

I tried to run pdf file via Explorer in the following way, but it did not work. It's perhaps in specification in Adobe Reader. I think there's nothing I can do about it. Please contact Adobe.

Please read this and tell me your environment. When reporting a problem, please be specific.

Hi, its probably "manually" done by Windows File Explorer. I used Microsoft Process Monitor to see what files/registry entries are accessed while opening a pdf using windows file explorer, and I see some references to "recent" files, and writing into this file: C:\Users\myname\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations\ff103e2cc310d0d.automaticDestinations-ms Also a new file is created into this folder: C:\Users\myname\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent Maybe windows offers some API to plug into this functionality that you can call from Tablacus.

I'll look into it. Please wait for that without a lot of expectations.

Thank you,
