Adobe Acrobat Reader and Foxit Reader both have a feature that allows them to remember what was the last page the user was reading.
Where do these PDF readers (both Adobe and Foxit) store such information?

Most likely the registry. For instance, Foxit Reader stores that information at the following location:
HKCU\Software\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader 5.0\Preferences\History\LastOpen
(The exact path might be slightly different for different versions.)
Ther's a subkey for each recently opened file, and a value called Page stores the page number where that file was opened last.

Any idea on where Adobe Acrobat should keep this? – Billy Rubina – 2012-10-05T21:54:46.640
I don't have Adobe Reader installed on any of my computers so can't check, but try searching through HKCU\Software\Adobe and its subkeys. – Indrek – 2012-10-05T22:58:06.903

In some cases, I think this kind of data can be stored as metadata for the PDF, which is basically just key-value pairs.
In other cases it might be stored by the particular application used to open/modify the PDF (the location would then vary from application to application).

Your earlier post version would seek to have an innumerable list of Readers. – random – 2012-10-08T04:12:47.897
