How to Make Adobe Reader Remember Last Page
Adobe Acrobat Reader is a widely used PDF reader that allows users to view, print, and annotate PDF documents. However, one common issue that many users face is that Adobe Reader does not remember the last page they were on when they close and reopen a document. This can be quite frustrating, especially when you have a lot of work to do. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to make Adobe Reader remember the last page you were on.
Step 1: Update Adobe Reader
The first step to ensure that Adobe Reader remembers the last page you were on is to update the software to the latest version. Adobe frequently releases updates that fix bugs and improve performance. To update Adobe Reader, go to the Adobe website and download the latest version.

3. In the Preferences window, click on the Documents tab.
4. Check the box next to “Remember the last page viewed” under the Page Display section.
5. Click OK to save the changes.
Step 3: Set Adobe Reader as Your Default PDF Viewer
If you are using a different PDF viewer by default, it may interfere with Adobe Reader’s ability to remember the last page you were on. To set Adobe Reader as your default PDF viewer, follow these steps:
1. Right-click on a PDF file and select “Open with.”
2. Choose “Choose another app” and then “More apps.”
3. Scroll through the list of apps and select Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
4. Check the box next to “Always use this app to open .pdf files.”
5. Click OK to save the changes.
Step 4: Restart Your Computer
After making the changes in the previous steps, restart your computer to ensure that the changes take effect. This will help Adobe Reader to remember the last page you were on when you close and reopen a document.
