Created Adobe Portfolio - now all pdf reload with open

Question

Help! I needed to email 70 pdfs. Instead of putting them all into one large pdf, I used the 'suggestion' in the new Macintosh Acrobat Pro 9 that I use a Pdf Portfolio. ( I used three Portfolios, then emailed them using the "email this portfolio" button that is incorporated into the Portfolio design.)
That worked with mixed results (some of the recipients couldn't open the portfolios, probably because they were using an older version of Acrobat.)
However, the problem I am having is now when I open my Acrobat program, it automatically attempts to load ALL the pdfs from one of the Portfolio. It keeps opening them until it can't open any more. Then I have to force quit.
I looked in the  System file to find a preferences file or something like that in order to throw it out, and hope that the program would rebuild a new one - but I couldn't figure out what might provide the same function. (It's been a while since I looked in a Mac  System  Folder.)
Does anyone have a fix for this?
Thanks!

Answer 1

Rule number one: NEVER MESS WITH THE SYSTEM FOLDER.
You can mess with the Library folder, you can mess with your USER Library Folder, but if you mess with the SYSTEM FOLDER you will find out that TOAST can refer to more than the ROXIO CD/DVD burning software.
Preference files can be found in Library/Preferences (you will find nothing useful here for you)
There is Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat (nothing useful here either)
Users/username/Library/Adobe/Acrobat (delete as you wish-however you may not like the results)
Users/username/Library/"Application Support/Aodbe/Acrobat" (nothing useful here)
Users/username/Library/Preferences/Acrobat (this is what you are looking for---delete as necessary)
However, my recommendation is to use a utility like Applejack or Onyx to remove both system and user caches.
