When Acrobat crashes, it will try to recover that last saved version of your file. Acrobat automatically saves changes you are making every few minutes (you can configure how often).

In which case, I'm all ears.When I say 'Acrobat' in the following answer, it means either Adobe Acrobat or the free Adobe Reader. Maybe I'm all wet here, and there are actual solutions I have yet to learn or discover solving the above listed issues. Support agents are not developers, work from canned knowledge bases, and do not seem tasked or motivated to escalate customer issues up the lines. Reasoning with Adobe Support seems akin to talking to a post (or a fire hydrant if you prefer).

How difficult is it for Adobe to write a few lines of code that (1) determines the location of every file opened in Acrobat (2) makes a copy of each file stored in the obscure cache folder into either a /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/RECOVERY folder, or better, a /Users//Documents/Adobe/Acrobat/ViewFiles/ directory the instant the file is loaded into Acrobat from the System cached folder location and (3) Update the 'Recent' 'File Lists' with pointers to the files so when (not 'if') Acrobat crashes, it can actually (and reliably) restore our work from our last saved iterations?

I suspect, however, the cache is cleared between system boots or aged out after a certain period of time. The point is web viewed files will stack up in the cache directory and remain persistently whether Acrobat is open, quit, or forced closed and whether the file is allowed to remain open in Acrobat or closed. Other web servers will name their pdf's whatever the webmaster decides. Subsequent Pacer generated pdf's might bear a random prefix such as 'ZcHqYF-show_.pdf'. On Pacer, pdf files are generated from a perl script so they appear as 'show_.pdf' until you open subsequent web pdf files for viewing.

The file is cached (presumably by the System) in this location in whatever web server filename it is given.

(3) Files loaded into Acrobat DC from the web are never recovered or restored to the working interface nor are they listed in the 'Recents' 'File Lists' table.ĭepending on how files are loaded from the web into Acrobat (in the case of a Mac running Safari (OS version agnostic)) a copy of your file might be saved either in the Mac's 'Downloads' folder (unless directed elsewhere) before being vectored and opened in Acrobat DC -or- in the case of 'viewing' a pdf from the web, the file is redirected and cached into the following folder: Acrobat DC fails to do this when needed - ever. (2) The 'Recent' 'File Lists' appears when Acrobat first opens after a crash should list all of the previously opened files. (This rarely (if ever) occurs and is entirely dependent on how the crash occurs. (1) Reopening Adobe DC should restore the crashed files to their last saved state. When such crashes occur the following is expected, but never occurs: For any number of reasons Acrobat DC crashes without warning.
