Sessions make the process of using PDF-XChange Editor more efficient. A session is defined as an active instance of using PDF X-Change Editor to view/edit documents. The software will remember which documents were open, their order/layout within the main window, the location of the main window on the screen and the status of other panes such as the Thumbnails/Properties pane. The most recent sessions are detailed in the Last Used Session pane. The other options are detailed below:
