How can I change the Save as PDF view?

Whenever I save a website page on Safari, or an e-mail or a document as a PDF file, I click File, Print and then PDF when the print page comes up. I then click Save as PDF which brings up what appears to be a Finder window. The problem is all my files and folders in each column are there alphabetically with files and folders mixed together. I have a lot of folders and files and I have to scroll all the way to the bottom sometimes to find the folder I want. How can I change this view so all the folders are at the top alphabetically with the files below? The normal Finder window comes up with each column having the folders at the top with PDF documents together below and regular documents together below that. Any help would be appreciated.

Jeff, thanks for the reply, but I am not talking about Finder. I already have Finder set up with Kind. I am talking about when I want to save a page on Safari, or an e-mail or a document as a PDF file, I click File, Print and then PDF when the print page comes up. I then click Save as PDF which brings up what looks like a Finder window. In that window all my files and folders in each column are there alphabetically with files and folders mixed together. I don't see any where where I can can change that view like you can in Finder. As I say, Finder is set up correctly, it is only when I try to save something as a PDF that the "Finder" window has all files and folders alphabetically and not by kind.

How can i change the size of PDF files ?

how can i change the size of PDF files? when i convert documents in the acrobat browser it seems the files become larger then normal pdf files, this is, i compare with other files that people send to me and i realise that they are smaller than my converted files, even if they have more pages.

A lot depends on the form of the PDF. Is it graphics, a scan of a text file, pure text, or other? What version of Acrobat are you working with.
You can do a save as to get a WORD file, but do not expect great results. The ability to get a decent WORD file depends on what the form of PDF you are working from. If it was created from WORD with tags and all, you might get good results. If not, you might get a lot of messed up results.
Explain what you are starting with and your ultimate goal. Also check the audit of the file (should be under PDF Optimize) to see where the file information is concentrated (text, fonts, graphics, other).

How can I change the "Save as Web..." default behaviour?

In CS6 Adobe re-programmed the "Save as Web..." dialog. Upon exporting slices it puts all graphics in a sub-folder called "images" (in the German version "Bilder"). I'm pretty sure, even in the German part of the world no-one would want to have images go in a folder called "Bilder", most use "images" or "img".
But how about not forcing me to put the pictures in a pre-named folder and have me select where I want them to be saved? It's very tedious to have to move graphic files manually upon every change and re-save...
Is there an option to disable the "create folder" option like there used to be until CS5.5?
Any help appreciated!

Well, that's just the option I wished for - but only Adobe know why they decided to remove this menu item in CS 6... Pay your dues and upgrade for a lot of money to the newest version - and be punished for it.
Here's how the menu looks in CS 6:

How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?

How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?
I scanned a 50-page document with an HP 5610xi All-In-One using the software that comes with it: HP Scan Pro. Though the physical document has standard 8.5" x 11" pages, the PDF resulting from scanning has page size set to 35.42 × 48.67 inches (according to Preview's "Tools > Inspector". I want to resize the pages to 8.5" x 11". Shouldn't Preview be able to do that with "Tools > Adjust Size..."? When I try, the menu option is grey so I can't select it.
I'm using Preview Version 4.2.

Thanks for the insight; that explains why it's the wrong size. I selected 300dpi scanning (which is the default, actually), but HP Scan Pro evidently created a PDF with 72dpi indicated. I want it fixed because I want to distribute the file to other people and have them able to print or display it without problems.
I still don't know why Preview won't let me change it, but your question about whether I wanted to print it did lead me to find a workaround: "File > Print" and "Save as PDF..." saved it with the correct page size.

HT201361 Is it possible to save the screenshot files to a different folder than desktop. How can I change the folder?

Is it possible to save the screenshot files to a different folder than desktop (that is the default). How can I change the destination folder? Thank you, Sal

To change the screenshot capture location to a new place on your Mac, first think of a location that would serve you properly. We like to place ours in a "Screenshot" folder located inside of the User's "Pictures" folder. To change the location to this new location, open the Terminal and enter the following command:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/[u]/Pictures/Screenshots/
Replace "[u]" with the name of the user on your system. Once you have entered this command, let's restart the screen capture utility by restarting the SystemUIServer by entering the following command:
killall SystemUIServer
You can optionally log out and back in instead of entering this second command, thus restarting the SystemUIServer. Once restarted, all screen captures taken from here on out will end up in your /Pictures/Screenshots/ folder in the User's home folder on your Mac.

For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself. I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

How can I change the page size of a pdf so i can view it on my iphone more clearly?

How can I change the page size of a pdf so i can view it on my iphone more clearly?

I think there may be more to this question than you say.
If your PDF page is say, 8 x 12 inches, and you found a way to scale it to 25%, changing it to 2 x 3 inch, shrinking everything on the page to quarter size - wouldn't it look exactly the same on the iPhone? It's just going to be the same as zooming.
Or were you hoping for something more like in Word, where changing the page size keeps everything the same size and spreads it over more pages? That isn't something you can do.

How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI?

How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI? I'm having some hiccups getting Adobe to register the software, but since I set it as the default .pdf reader during setup, things try (and fail) to open in the as yet unregistered software. How can I change it temporariiy to the Acrobat Reader XI that I have installed?

Anubha,
It worked! Thank you so much.
I'd opened file with the 'Open with' feature then clicking Adobe Reader,
but that didn't do it. When I used 'Open with', then 'Choose default
program...', it worked like a charm.
Again, thank you!

How can I change the format of some of the pages of a PDF-document?

I use Adobe Acrobat and have a PDF-document with A4 pages and some pages of another format (half of an A4).
How can I change the format of these pages to A4 (with a lower blanc part)?

You can increase the page size with the Crop Tool of Acrobat Pro.

How can I change the interactive PDF font?

I'm making a interactive PDF in inDesign (CS6). Problem is, when I export the file in to a interactive PDF, everything looks good except when I want to type in the text field (interactive) the font is in Times New Roman. I want another font. So my question is, how can I change the (interactive) font? I tried a lot of things, but I can't find the solution.

@Renzo – in Acrobat Pro you have an option to format the form fields.
Under the tab "Appearance" there is "Text" with "Font Size:", "Font:" and "Text Color:".

How can I change the default for reading a pdf?

How can I change the default application for a content type?

Running a version of Linux, the default application for PDF files is "Use Document Viewer (default)", which appears to be /usr/bin/evince. I'd much prefer to use /usr/bin/okular; how can I change the default. This question is NOT about how to change the function that is automatically applied when I access a link, in this case "Preview in Firefox", but rather to the default application that I can select when I download a file being viewed in Firefox's previewer.

This is real progress, a solution to the problem as posted. The command:
xdg-mime default okularApplication_pdf.desktop application/pdf
makes okular the default.
However when I added okular to the choices for applications in:
* Edit>Preferences>Applications>PDF
the popup box that appears when I click Download on the preview page changed. The pulldown menu that appears next to "Open with" used to have 3 entries:
# Document Viewer (default)
# Acroread
# Other
Now it has only 2:
# Okular (Default)
# Other
I'd like it to read
# Okular (Default)
# Acroread
# Other
How can I control the entries in this pulldown list?
Also, how can I make the default choice in the popup box be
* Open With <whatever> , rather than
* Save File ?
