How do I change the default "Save As" location for pdf docs?

I save a lot of scanned in pdf documents.  However, when I open up a new .pdf file and wish to "save as" to a specific location in "my documents" the default location always directs the newly saved documents into th "temporary files" location.  I would like to change the default location to "My Documents" instead so I do not have to redirect every newly scanned document to "My Documents" form the temporary file area of my computer.  Please inform.

I got the same problem, I cannot even see where the files are saved after I press "Save" button and cannot change the name of the file that I am saving.

  • How do you change the default Save As location for PDF files?

    I have not been able to find a straight answer anywhere.  I am scanning documents to my email then I need to save them.  Instead of saving them to the last folder I saved a file in, (which would be logical) it saves them in a temporary files folder EVERY time.  I have seen answers about how to change the folder when saving documents from a web browser but that is not what I am doing.  Someone please help!  I have thousands of files to save and this is incredibly frustrating. Agh!!!

    Is it your scanning software that does that, or Adobe Reader?
    Anyway, I don't know how to change the default change destination for either of it.
    I have had a similar problem with an entirely different software, so what I did is create a shortcut to the destination folder in my Temp folder, so a simple double-click when saving gets met quickly to that target folder.

  • How do you change the default save as directory when saving a PDF file to your hard drive?

    This is the on-line help instructions on this site:
    Downloading a PDF file to your hard drive
    You can download a PDF file to the hard drive from a web page's link. Downloading PDF files doesn't require the ActiveX plug-in file to be installed. (If you want to open and view the PDF file after downloading it, you must have Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or Acrobat Reader installed.)
    To download a PDF file from a link:
    1. Right-click the link to a PDF file, and then choose Save Target As from the pop-up menu.
    2. In the Save As dialog box, select a location on your hard drive, and then click Save.
    My issue:  I want to save several pdf files (from the Adobe Reader in my browser) one at a time and each time it defaults the save as directory to the desktop and I have to go looking for the directory I last saved a pdf file in.  I got lots of directories and I wish I could change the default setting for the save as directory.  Just a minor thing but irritating as other programs usually will allow you to switch the default save as directory to one of your choosing.

    There is not a way to set the default location from all the forums i searched in the last couple days.

  • How can I change the default save folder in MP Navigator for saved scans?

    I am using MP Naqvigator with my Canon MP600 multifunction device and saving to an external drive is clunky because each time I save a document I have to browse to the device and the destination folder. I have tried to find a way of setting the default save folder from /users/myname/pictures/mpnavigator to volumes/drivename/foldername so that it speeds up the process. I've looked at all of the preferences files for the MP600 in the application and support libraries but can't see any reference to that default path. I'd be very grateful for any solutions from other Canon users.

    It should still work the same way. I changed mine in either Snow Leopard or Lion and it remains the way i Changed it in Mountain Lion.

  • How can I change the default start-up date for a new functional location?

    Is there a way to change the default date when creating a functional location? Whenever we create a new functional location, there is a date populated in the start-up date field. This date is our go-live date from last year and I cannot find the location in the IMG (if there is one) to stop the date from automatically populating with the date from the superior functional location. I tried setting the field from input to required but the date still populates automatically. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to leave the start-up date field blank when creating a new functional location?

    That field is generally picked up from the immediate superior FL in the hierarchy through the inheritance functionality.You will have to overwrite this date.I dont think you can clear this field through Configuration functionality.
    If you are in Ecc 6.0, you could get the help of developer to use implicit enhancement to initialize the field contents.

  • How do I change the default save location for new files in Pages back from iCloud to my Documents folder?

    I just upgraded OSX to Mountain Lion and Pages to 4.2, and because OSX is syncing with my iCloud account, when I go to save a new file in Pages it defaults to try to save to my iCloud account rather than giving me the folder structure on my hard-drive that I prefer. It requires two extra steps to save to the proper place in my Documents folder on my hard drive.
    Is there a way to reset the default so that when I go to save a new file, the folder structure opens to the last saved folder (like it does in other non-iCloud applications) rather than defaulting to my iCloud, and to do it without just removing documents from my iCloud account entirely?
    I checked the Preferences for both Pages and iCloud and found nothing about this.

    What I meant is turn off Documents and Data in iCloud in OS X. Keep it on on your iOS devices. iCloud will sync documents between the iOS devices and make them available on the iCloud web site, but it won't mess up iWorks' open and save dialog boxes. It also won't assume that you want all your documents in iCloud, which I think is undesirable anyway.
    Keep iOS and OS X separate, and use the web site to move files between the two as necessary.
    iOS iWork is different from OS X iWork. There are fewer fonts on an iOS device. iOS iWork programs have slightly different feature sets than OS X iWork programs, and the file formats are different. iCloud automatically converts the file format when necessary, but if you make a habit of saving things directly to iCloud, you are limited to the lowest common denominator between the two versions of iWorks. So why would anyone want iWork on the Mac to open and save documents on iCloud by default?
    If you want to store files in the cloud and sync them on your Macs, SugarSync is a much better solution. It lets you choose your sync folders, it doesn't make you reorganize your files, it lets you sync all file types, it doesn't convert files to a different format and back, and it stores everything in the cloud, too. Just the simle act of saving a file backs it up and syncs it. I wouldn't live without it. iCloud is best with iTunes purchases and synchronizing Mac settings and iOS files; I woudln't live without it. The two make an unbeatable combination.

  • QuickView: How can I change the default full screen width of PDFs and JPGs

    Hello,
    I am very happy with the changes on the new OSX Lion.  But I have a disappointment form QuickView.  On Snow Leopard I will hit the "Option+Space" to QuickView files (mostly pdf and jpg) on full width and just scroll up and down with the mouse or the arrow keys.  Now in Lion, when I press "Option+Space" I get the file on full height.  This does not work for me because the information on screen is too small and I end up having to open the file on Preview.
    How can I change this settings so they are like on Snow Leopard?
    Thanks in advance.

    Not only can you set global values for each of the three columns, but you can also set unique column widths on a per community basis like this:
    .ptCommunity-1234 .columnOne { width: 635px; border-right:1px solid #CCCCCC; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 20px; }
    .ptCommunity-1234 .columnTwo { width: 240px; padding-top: 10px; padding-left: 8px;}
    You can see here my community #1234 has a wide first column and a more narrow column two and even puts a little solid line between them.
    It's all in the stylesheets on your imageserver at the path I mentioned earlier. Again, look at the experience definition object in your admin portal and look at the stylesheet name in the dropbox. The stylesheet name you see is mapped to the .css file using the community-themes.txt file in the same ...yadayada/common/public/css folder on the imageserver.
    If you have, lets say, a mainstyle1-en.css that only has about a dozen lines dictating only the few items you mentioned before - then it has been stripped at one time because the default that comes w/ an original install is huge and a great starting point. It even has style tips and snippets in comment blocks to tutor you through its gargantuan variety of options.

  • How do we change the default profile folder location?

    I work for a university in Manhattan. We are trying to install Firefox 5 for our users but Firefox profiles are stored in the AppData folder which is a problem for us as it exceeds the user profile space.
    We need a way to have Firefox create the profile elsewhere. Is anyone aware of how to do this?

    Hi,
    Thank you for taking the time to offer a solution to our problem. Unfortunately, the Firefox profile information set under the administrative account does not transfer to the user accounts. Even though we created a Firefox profile set to open to a different location, when a user logs in the default profile, located in AppData, is created for them and they do not have access to the new one.
    Are you aware of any way to set the profile of each user to automatically be created elsewhere? Thank you.

  • How do I change the default fonts on Firefox for Android version 21?

    Is it possible to restore the default fonts from earlier versions of Firefox to use on web pages for version 21 instead of using the new shipped Open Sans and Charis fonts?

    Smo,
    That is incorrect, you can change the fonts used in content to your own choosing albeit only through advanced about:config preferences. This is not recommended.
    Change these in about:config;
    *font.name.serif.x-user-def
    *font.name.sans-serif.x-user-def
    *font.name.sans-serif.x-user-def
    *font.name.monospace.x-user-def
    *font.name-list.sans-serif.x-user-def
    *font.name-list.sans-serif.x-user-def
    *font.name.serif.x-western
    *font.name.sans-serif.x-western
    *font.name.sans-serif.x-western
    *font.name.monospace.x-western
    *font.name-list.sans-serif.x-western
    *font.name-list.sans-serif.x-western
    I've never tried changing these so you are at your own risk here.

  • How do I change the default save folder for screenshots in Mountain Lion

    I would like screen shots to save to a specific folder in Pictures (~/Pictures/Screenshots)
    There is a way to do this in previous versions of OS-X.  Is there another way to do this in Lion, or is the Terminal method the simplest way to do this?

  • How do I change the default save location for Preview under Lion?

    I have to modify about 200 PDFs.
    When I make a duplicate of a PDF in Preview it always suggests saving it on the desktop. Instead I would like it to ask me if I want to save it either where the original file is, or where I saved something last.
    Note that Default Folder X doesn't yet work with Preview. And even then it wouldn't solve my problem.
