Acrobat 9 Standard- Default Save As Location

Is there a setting somewhere, or a registry key that controls the default location when you "Save As"?
I have a user that opens PDF files from the internet, and then saves to a network share. Every time she opens a document and goes to save it Acrobat defaults to the Temporary Internet Files, and she has to navigate back to the network share.
Is there a way to default it to the root of the network drive, or make Acrobat remember the last location she saved something and default back to there? This is a fresh install of Acrobat Standard 9 (patched), and she swears it used to remember the last location.
Thanks

Some folks have suggested registry edits (don't remember if it works), but the simplest way is to simply add a short cut to MyDocuments.

How to change default save as location

hi,
how to change default save as location in acrobat 7.0?

Why is Acrobat involved in this process at all? Why don't you save directly the pdf from your email program directly where you want it to be? Acrobat is just adding another step to this process.

Setting a default Save as location in pdf printing

When printing a pdf in Adobe Acrobat, is it possible to set the Save as location to defeault to the same location as that of the source document, rather than having to manually navigate to its folder each time?

I am printing a Word document to pdf on Adobe Acrobat X Pro and Windows Vista.
The Save as ... windows always defaults to My Documents, I think. I want it to default to the same location that the file from which I am printing is located.

Default save file location ignored for Outlook attachments

Whenever I open an office attachment in Outlook, then edit and try to save, it always goes to "Libraries/Documents". I then have to do numerous clicks to get to my default location for every file.
Is there somewhere to set the default for this. The "default file location" in Excel or Word are ignored.
Thanks, Joe

Try this:
Open the Registry Editor (regedit) and browse to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Options
Create a new String value called "DefaultPath" in the right pane, modify the entry to the locate as you want.

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.

Adobe Acrobat Standard - Defaults

Adobe ackowledges that Novell default settings should be used, however, Plain Text View comes up automatically with the email screen. What settings can be made in Adobe (even if it has ro be done on a daily basis on one user's workstation, not the network) to avoid this problem? It is critical to always have the view in HTML otherwise lists etc do not show up properly and the text size is far too small.

Moving this discussion to the Acrobat Installation & Update issues forum.
Rob which operating system are you using? What language is the OS set to display in?

CS3 Default Save location

Is there a setting/preference/whatever where I can designate a specific default "save to" location. TIA

Not really. CS3 defaults to the last folder where you performed a similar operation, or to the folder of the existing document if you've saved it once and are saving as with the same or a new name.

Force Default Save As to Documents

We are a school district, using XServes and WGM. All students have Network Home Directories. We are also using Groups (Hand Out and Hand In folders).
Teachers are placing Pages templates in the Hand Out folder for students. Students open them, complete the assignment, and select Save As…
The default location in the Save As dialog box ends up being the Hand Out folder (which is Read Only).
For most older kids, it is easy enough to explain how to navigate to their Documents folder, but with younger students (Kindergarten, Grade 1) it would be far more useful if the default location would ALWAYS start at their Documents folder (similar to the way Macintosh Manager could force that years ago).
Is there a way of Pages forcing ~/Documents to be the default Save As… location?

NO, but Yes.
The default location is the one which was used before.
So, If you save once in a given folder then duplicate the preferences file in a safe area, you may use an Applescript which will copy this safe file on the one available in the user's preferences folder before launching Numbers.
On my machines I use such a script which guarantee that after a machine startup, I will be using clean preferences.

WIN 7/32-bit, Acrobat Standard 9, can't save pdf in "libraries" folders

I am running Windows 7/32-bit with Acrobat Standard 9.3.2, the operating system is fully patched and updated.
For some odd reason, when I try to convert an office document (working in Office 2003) via the "convert to PDF" button in the "acrobat PDF" toolbar I can't save the document in my "libraries" folder. This folder of course contains "my documents" and is where I prefer to save most of my PDF files. I click on "libraries" to select the place to save the PDF but all that comes up is "no items match your search."
Alternatively, if I try to print the office document to the Adobe PDF printer I get to the menu where it asks where I want to save the PDF file and again, I cannot access the libraries folder. Other locations work fine, such as the desktop, network folders, accessing the C drive and doing down the tree to "my documents', but not the actual libraries folder. Acrobat almost seems to think it is blank.
I'd appreciate any ideas, as I have several users under me in the same position.

Hi Guys,
I have the solution to your problems and I will go ahead an explain it in detail so that no questions will be raised.
I have struggled to get WINDOWS 7 (32BIT) to run on the Touchsmart 300 PC now for three days (and nights) but I know how you can do it.
The problem lies within the VGA Adapter (Graphics Card) this little buddy has incompatible drivers with the inbuilt functions of the Touchsmart PC in its generic (Windows Preloaded) form. Therefore what you can do is the this.
Step 1: Insert Windows 7 (32Bit) disk and start the setup process and follow it until it hits the problem. (Millisecond of Bluescreen)
Step 2: Once the PC starts booting repeatedly press F8 (I mean it just keep on pressing that button until you can select "Safe Mode")
Step3: Once Windows Setup screen is back it will tell you an error! Which is good. INSTEAD of pressing "OK" (to restart) press SHIFT + F10 (opens the command prompt)
Step4: You should automatically be in \Windows\System32 now enter the following command: CompMgmtLauncher (This is the Device Manager).
(If the default directory is not System32 the navigate to it by entering "cd windows" and "cd system 32" (cd = change directory)
Step5: In the Device Manager (do not worry it will take some time to load) select navigate to "Display Adapters" - "ATI Radeon ..." RIGHT-CLICK on it and choose disable. (To be sure Windows will not have any other troubles you should do the same for all highlighted devices. the once with the yellow triangle)
Step6: Once this is done restart your system and let the install run into the normal mode and finish the install.
Step7: Once Windows starts for the first time. Use the provided ATI Radeon Driver from HP (NOT the original one) from the support download website to install the correct driver.
Step8: Resart and enjoy!
Hope this helps and let me say to AMD/ATI yopu guys really suck at your one product drivers!
Cheers and Out.

Changing the Default Save Directory in Acrobat

I am currently working with multiple systems, some using Acrobat 7.0 and some using 6.0.
Basically, I am wondering if in either of these versions of Acrobat it is possible to change the default save directory to something other than 'My Documents.' Acrobat will remember the last directory I saved to if I have already saved to that location once in a given session, but if I exit the program and then enter it again, it defaults back to 'My Documents' instead of the last place I saved.
Is there a way to set the default directory in 6.0 and/or 7.0?

No. Put a short cut to where you want to go in the My Documents folder and you are only 1 step away.

Adobe Acrobat Standard XI: Why prompted to save file when nothing changed?

I have Adobe Acrobat Standard as the default PDF reader. I PDF printed a page from a website. Then I clicked to open the PDF. After I finished viewing the file, I closed the window. Adobe Acrobat prompts me to save: Yes, No, Cancel. Since I changed absolutly nothing, I am puzzled why Adobe Acrobat's save dialog thinks there are changes and askes me whether I want to save the changes.
I have repeated opening and closing the PDFseveral times.
Then, I tried opening and closing another PDF, and it just closes without prompting to save.
Why do I get different behaviors on different PDFs? And can I control the behavior to get or not get the save prompt when there are no changes?

I like that Adobe Acrobat will correct problems, then ask you whether to save.
In the case of this file, I click Yes to save. Then the next time I open and close the file, it asks again, and I click Yes to save. Adobe Acrobat always does it with this file.
With another file, Adobe Acrobat (AA) does not prompt, unless I change the file.
I don't know which difference matters. AA created both PDFs. The problem file was a print from a webpage. The good file (that closes without prompting) was created from a scanner.
I tried PDF printing this page (i.e. the page on which I am composing my response to your message). Then, I opened and closed the PDF, and was prompted to save.
Seems like if AA corrected the problem, and I saved, AA should not have to correct the problem again (if that is what's happening). Also, if AA made the PDF in the first place, there should be no problems with the PDFto correct.
You know what? I just tried printing another website and same prompting everytime I close.
I've been using Chrome. I tried printing with Internet Explorer, and no problem of prompting when closing.
Hmm. I just tried PDF printing from FireFox. No problem here either.
Well, Now I suppose I just leave it for Google and Adobe to work out, if they care to.
I just tried opening the problem file in AA and PDF printing from it. This seems to have cleaned the file. The second PDF file has no problem opening and closing.
I've got an idea. I just went to the address bar in Chrome and typed "Chrome://plugins". That's the only way I know to get to the Chrome plugins. I saw that I have BOTH the Chrome built-in PDF Reader AND the Adobe Create plugins enabled. I disabled the Chrome PDF Reader so ONLY the Adobe Create plugin is enabled.
I printed this webpage again (the webpage you are reading). This time, there was no problem opening and closing the PDF, no prompts to save.
However, now online PDFs will not display in Chrome. Instead, Chrome offers to download the PDF.
I went back to the plugins and found Adobe Reader disabled. I enabled Adobe Reader so now I have both Adobe Reader and Adobe Create plugins enabled.
The problem came back.
I don't know who would fix this, Adobe or Chrome, but would be nice to "have my cake and eat it, too" meaning, not have to muck with the plugins to AA-print clean PDFs from Chrome, and then muck again with the plugins to display PDFs in Chrome.
I tried FireFox. Displays PDFs, and AA-prints PDFs that are clean (i.e. no prompt on closing from AA).
Well, that is enough (maybe more than enough) from me on this. I'll monitor this discussion in case anyone comments.

Bouncing - Premiere to Audition to Premiere - How to change default save location from Desktop

When I am bouncing from Premiere to Audition "Edit Clip in Audition", and then apply the effect and save the file, it seems to save the file to the desktop. Is there a way to change this default save location? Can't seem to find it in the preferences.
Didn't even realize it was doing this. Desktop was getting pretty cluttered.

You can paste this command in Terminal
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSDocumentSaveNewDocumentsToCloud -bool false
Or use Mountain Tweaks - click the Mountain Lion tab & it's the sixth item in the left-hand column.
Both will disable the default iCloud save & still let you have access to iCloud if you want it.
