I'm desperately trying to create a BACK button to take users to the previous PDF file they opened. When I follow these steps:
Select Action>Execute a menu item>View>Go To>Previous Document NOTHING happens. Any ideas to help me resolve this? Thanks!

Hi GCortes,

It appears that this capability is tied to using the preference for not showing each document in a separate window:
Edit --> Preferences --> Document Panel
"Show each document in its own window" should not be selected.

Hope this helps,
Lori

Thanks for your tip. Unfortunately, it didn't work either. Any other recommendations? I don't understand why this feature worked in versions 6 and 7 of Acrobat Professional, but it stopped working on version 8...
