Adobe Acrobat Organizer & Firefox SessionSaver

posted on Sat, February 02nd, 2008

I'm not sure how you use Adobe Acrobat in your daily work, but usually I have several pdf documents opened at the same time. I really got annoyed lately, because I couldn't find a way to save all opened files when closing Acrobat. The reason is that when I'm working on a document I have several pdf documents opened to read and quote them. But when I need to start another task other than writing, I close every window and application that is not necessary for that specific task. But later, when coming back to the writing task, I really would like to have everything open again to continue where I stopped. So I ask some colleagues for a solution, but no one had one.
Finally I found the organizer, which I hadn't notice in Acrobat. And there you go. There is a history of files that you opened and you are able to create your own collections. So the easiest way to save all opened files is to go in the history panel, select today and drag and drop the open files in a custom collection of your choice. I named my "last opened". If you later open Acrobat again you just need to open all files in the "last opened" collection and delete the links in the collection.

The same thing applies to Firefox. I have tons of tabs opened while working, but would like to save all these tabs, when closing firefox. I even used to restore feature from firefox quite often to save my tabs. I killed the firefox process with the task manager. When firefox is started again it asks to start with a fresh session are restore the old session with all tabs. Thats a bit awkward, but it worked. But luckily there is a Firefox extensions called "SessionManager" that does exactly that and saves your last session. It opens up firefox with all tabs that you had opened in your last session. That really helped to improve my productivity.
