preview
I seemingly open 5 documents for every one document I close in preview (I do a lot of reading with preview).
Is there a way to have preview reopen all of the documents I had opened last time it was closed (for example, when I want to restart my computer to grab an update), regardless of the number of opened documents? Sometimes the history just isn't enough for me or the history doesn't reflect what I presently have open.
If not, can you suggest an alternative?
Cmd-Click on the title gives you the full path. This not only works in Preview but more or less in all applications (including Office).
To make Preview open PDFs in the "Two Pages" mode, go to Preferences --> PDF, then select the desired mode in the "Show as" menu.
There is no shortcut to go to "Almost Fullscreen Mode" by default, but you can create one:
EDIT: Here's an AppleScript solution to set the first window of Preview (the frontmost opened document of Preview) to the size of the screen (works only with one display connected):
tell application "Preview"
tell application "Finder" to set screen_resolution to bounds of window of desktop
set bounds of window 1 to screen_resolution
end tell

Acrobat Reader has an option to open PDFs from the last session. You may give that a test drive since it's free. Launch Acrobat Reader and go to the file menu. 2nd option down reads "Reopen PDFs from last session". This may do what you want.
