I too was embarrassed to discover that Adobe Reader has those preference settings that I never knew about until now. Just tested the updated Wiki instructions for closing and reopening in Foxit v 5.3 I think you mean Alt+<key> instead of Ctrl+<key> Bruce? At least that is what works for me.

Thanks for the post below Martin.
On ferreting around in my Windows based Adobe and Foxit applications, I find that they also have "Restore last view settings when reopening documents", which I am embarrassed not to have found before now.
So old 'non-locking' Foxit Reader versions become (for me) the best compromise.
§ No crashes when Therion compiles
§ Opens pdf to previous page and zoom setting with a four key 'no brainer' sequence
§ Best overall rendering and opens all but files of 100's MB in size.
If Evince could sort out the slow file loading and area rendering errors, then it would be the winner.
