PDF Where does Acrobat reader save information about last view settings?

Solution 1:

Looks to me like it is stored here in the registry:

HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\RememberedViews

Solution 2:

I haven't checked this yet, but I'm pretty sure it saves the actual recent views in application data. This should be easy to test: look for the acrobat data in %appdata% then copy it to another computer or back it up. If the backup opens pdf to the same place, then that's it.

Solution 3:

I checked all appdata and ProgramData folders, but the info is not stored there. I opened

HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\RememberedViews

There I found these folders - c1,c2,c3,...,c15 In them there were keys like ipageViewPageNum, ipageViewX, ipageViewY. I guessed that ipageViewPageNum is the page number at which it opens the document and Adobe Reader saves view settings for 15 PDFs.

I opened many PDFs and scrolled to the same page number before closing Adobe Reader. I found out that the value of ipageViewPageNum changed to that page number everywhere. I also noticed that opening PDFs which were not the 15 most recent opened at the first page. This means my guess was right.
