Save open document

Post by Mirada2000 »

Hello, I would like to save the open documents, so that I can reopen them at once, is this possible?

Hi, Mirada2000

we have "session" that can be saved and loaded:

You can open the wanted documents, save the session then in future you open the session to get all those files again.

Does that help?

Kind regards,

When you start PDF-XChange Editor, there is an option "Restore Last Session" to open the documents that were open at the time you last closed PDF-XChange Editor. This option is available via File > Preferences > Documents.

@pdf-xchange.com support
Wouldn't it be a good idea to add (duplicate) this option to the "Manage Sessions"-dialog-box, because now it is a little bit hidden ?

Kind regards.

Hello Willy Van Nuffel,

That checkbox has been there long before the other sessions manager was added to the File Menu, so it has been there for a very long time, and might even use slightly different code.
I will pass your enquiry to our UI devs and see if that can indeed be added as a checkbox under the new Sessions menu!

p.s. My colleagues confirmed that it's a good idea to have a copy of that checkbox in the sessions manager screen - so I've made the FR ticket for this:
#6786: FR: Add checkbox to "Restore Last Session when application starts" to the sessions management screen.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Willy, Mirada2000,

Just a quick update that the ticket has now been marked as resolved - so this checkbox should be in the sessions menu from the next build. I do not have the exact release date yet.

Kind regards,
Stefan
