Acrobat X - Save As Dialog - Search Box?

I am contemplating upgrading from Acrobat 9 Standard to Acrobat 10 (X?) Standard, and have a simple question.  After scanning, is the "Save As" dialog box the modern, Windows 7 version, with the "Search" box?  I save lots of scanned documents to deeply nested folders, and the search box in the Save As dialog box in most modern applications (e.g., Office 2007, etc.) saves me enormous time in finding the desired folder, rather than drilling down through these nested folders. 
Acrobat 9 doesn't have the search box. Can someone please tell me whether Acrobat X has this (or post a screen shot showing how it looks in Acrobat X)?  
Thanks,
Jim

Thanks for the reply.  That's very disappointing. 
Any idea why Adobe doesn't get on board with the search box?  It's extremely helpful.

  • Acrobat 8 Save-As Dialog

    OK, this is really trivial, but to me very annoying. When I save a file from Adobe Acrobat (Pro 8), I almost always go to type a path, e.g.:
    c:\books\newbook.pdf
    and Acrobat tells me:
    "The characters cannot be used in a file name: \/:.." etc
    I have to pick up the mouse and navigate to the directory where I want to save the file. I understand what the error message is saying, but why can't I just type a path? I can do that when I OPEN a file, but not when I SAVE one. Surely that's not right?
    The help text says:
    "Save a copy of a PDF
    Choose File > Save As (or Save A Copy, if Save As is not shown).
    In the Save As dialog box, enter the filename and *location*, and click Save."
    but I am not permitted to enter a "location" (path).
    Or is this configurable somewhere?
    Thanks

    I'll have to check. Think my work desktop is at AA8.2.4. Maybe that will do it. I just noticed that they have redone the Adobe web site again and a lot of the "dropdown" menus are not dropping down. You have to go through multiple pages now to get the the updates or do a search on the updates! Leave it to web designers to make things difficult.

  • "Save As" Dialog Box in Acrobat X/Windows 7

    One of the best things about Windows Vista and 7 is the much-expanded and much-improved Open/Save As dialog boxes.  They are much more efficient and much easier to work with, especially as you build huge document libraries.
    When I installed Acrobat X I was very excited by the assumption that a post-Windows 7 Acrobat build would utilize Windows 7 dialog boxes.  Oh was I wrong.  It seems that Acrobat X still utilizes the old Windows 2000/Windows XP dialog boxes.
    Does anyone know of a way to force Acrobat to use 21st century dialog boxes?  Or am I doomed to remain stuck in 1990s file navigation hell?
    Thanks.

    This is really unbelieveable that Adobe is apparently unable to detect the version of Windows that they are running on and alter the Dialog box to suit! I can only imagine that their code base is so bad and riddled with old legacy stuff that their developers are unable to make this change without breaking everything. In which case, why even bother to bump to a new major version of X ?
    Why do we support this?
    Chris Cox, your answer of "We've been trying to - but we still have to support XP and Vista." is unacceptable. You know how to detect that you are running on Windows 7 and you can still support XP and Vista. Any developer out there know this.
    MAKE THIS CHANGE NOW !!

  • Getting "save as" dialog box to auto populate when combining files in Acrobat X Standard

    In acrobat 9 the "save as" dialog box auto populated when I combined files, in Acrobat X it creates binder1 and then I have to click file and save as.  Is there a setting that I am missing so I do not have to do the extra step of file, save as?

    Hi cp-daytona,
    Please elaborate your issue and if possible then please attach the screenshot.

  • Search bar in save as dialog box

    I just updated to windows 7 and realized that when I go to save a document I don't have the "search bar" avalable? Is there a way I can get that in the save as UI? Or do I have to manually find my folders on my network?

    Not to start it going, no. But you can change it to name only. Type something, anything, in the Search box. When the search gets started you'll notice you have a new line under the toolbar that has
    Computer Home "SomeFolder" Save +
    With "SomeFolder" probably being either the last folder used in the application, or else the one you have navigated to. Then there is the Save button (although I can't imagine what it would actually be useful for) and the "plus" inside a little circle. Click the + and another line appears, with "Kind: Any"--change to Name in the drop down menu and select which of the usual options you want (Contains, Begins with, etc). BTW, I was just fooling around with it, and discovered that while the Name option works perfectly well, the options for Date Created and Date Modified don't work at all, although Last Opened seems to be OK. Ah well.

  • How can I add form field value to the file name in save as dialog box

    I do not want the form to be saved automatically, just want the form to auto populate the "file name" only.
    A little background on the forms I want to use:  My company has 70 retail outlets, I'll use one of our pdf forms called an "Incident Report" as an example.  I would like for a store manager to be able to complete the form, then email the form to the main office (I already have javascript to add field values and form name to the email subject line), once the main office receives it, I want for them to be able to file the pdf electronically on our server.  We have mutliple forms that we use so I do not want any of the forms to automatically save anywhere, (at this time anyway) I just want the office personnel to be able to click "save as" (or whatever they will need to click) and the form automatically add certain field values from the pdf they have received, of which will be different each time the form is sent to the office (Date, store #, employee name etc.) in addition to the name of the form in the "File name" of the "Save As" dialog box.  The main office employees will decide into which server file the pdf should be saved.
    I'm using Acrobat 8 professional, the stores and office personnel use Adobe reader.
    One little note:  We currently print and file a lot of paper on a daily bases, as soon as I can get this to work, we are going green.
    Me and a lot of trees in this will really apprecitate any help you can give with this!  :-)

    You might want to take a look at the document "Developing Acrobat Applications Using JavaScript" (js_developer_guide.pdf) which is part of the Adobe Acrobat SDK, which can be downloaded here. Read the "Privileged versus non-privileged context" (p. 45ff.). You will find an example for "Executing privileged methods in a non-privileged context". Should be almost exactly what you are looking for.
    Small Outline: For security reasons ("the user always has to know what's going on") you are not allowed to use the "Doc.saveAs"-method without the user permission (--> in a non-privileged context). In order to reach the goal of a privileged context you can use a trusted function. You do this by creating a JavaScript file (*.js) in either the Application-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Javascripts") or the User-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%AppData%\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\JavaScripts"). Add the following content to the new file:
    myTrustedBrowseForDoc = app.trustedFunction( function ( oArgs ) {
         app.beginPriv();
              var myTrustedRetn = app.browseForDoc( oArgs );
         app.endPriv();
         return myTrustedRetn;
    myTrustedSaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function ( doc, oArgs ) {
         app.beginPriv();
              var myTrustedRetn = doc.saveAs( oArgs );
         app.endPriv();
         return myTrustedRetn;
    The developer guide actually wants you to add this content to the existing "config.js" file. I recommend creating a new file, since its easier to deploy in a network. Either way, every client/user who needs to be able to save documents this way, needs this JavaScript Code in his Application/User-JavaScript-Folder.
    Within the Acrobat Document, which you want to obtain a certain file name, you can now use the trusted functions "myTrustedBrowseForDoc" and "myTrustedSaveAs" to store the file. To call the trusted functions and deliver the file name you can either you use a form field (button) or you add a new menu item. Add the following JavaScript Action to the button/menu item and change "Roller Coaster" to the name of the field which contains the value which you want to become the new file name:
    var fileName = this.getField("Roller Coaster").valueAsString;
    try {
         var oRetn = myTrustedBrowseForDoc({bSave: true, cFilenameInit: fileName + ".pdf"});
         try {
              myTrustedSaveAs(this, { cPath: oRetn.cPath, cFS:oRetn.cFS });
         catch(e) {
              console.println("Save not allowed, perhaps readonly.");
    catch(e) {
    console.println("User cancelled Save As dialog box");
    Good Luck!

  • Save Open dialog box opening very slow

    I have windows 7 professional 64bit OS. whenever i try to open/save as dialog box it appears very slow, then it will say it is not responding then after 10-15sec it will come alive.
    Need help!!!!!!

    Blair,
    I followed your suggestions above....reset IE ...clean boot. Didn't solve the problem.  (had trouble making that MSCONFIG window bigger !? <wink>)
    Problem still exists.  And to be clear, here is the problem(s) ...I believe they are all interrelated.
    #1.  I end the explorer.exe process and restart it.  Run Explorer and start clicking folders in my FAVORITES.  System hangs for about 10 seconds before it catches up.
    Alternatly, after a explorer.exe restart, if I run explorer and start clicking down through folders from the C: drive, there is no hang.   SUSPECT - some sort of file for favorites needs to be rebuilt?!
    #2. Open MS Word.  Type a few letters.  Select File/Save.  Most icons under Favorites are white.  Trying clicking more than one, but system hangs for ten seconds until icons fill in.
    #3.  WINDOWS button, start typing in the search INTERNET....5-10 seconds before Internet Explorer (and other INT* things show up.!  Usually this is instantaneous.
    System Info:
    Great machine and fast for over a year, and now this started FYI.

    - Checked Indexed location is C: drive/ User/ just my data areas....reindexed
    - Tried reboot with Windows Search service disabled....no help.  Turned back on.
    - Tried MS Essentials off.  Tried Firewall off
    - Rebuilt ICONCACHE - was 8mb, now less 450kb
    - Archived OUTLOOK down to a reasonable size (and had to do the manual compress to reduce the file size after)
    - turned off some Windows visual effects.
    - Turned off Dropbox from autostarting....this was before I tried the Clean Boot
    - turned by ON (default)  in Startup - though it has Unknown MFG and no details  :~(   , i found that it likely is needed for my 64 bit machine.

  • How do I force Firefox (6v02) to stop showing thumbnails of existing file(s) in the save-as dialog box?

    I save files associated with similar objects using similar names (just a different extension, or numeric sequence). The save-as dialog box shows a list of existing files. When I choose one, with the intention of changing the file extension or the numeric sequence (e.g., choose 'file001.jpg' in order to rename the new file to be saved 'file002.mpg') the thumbnail associated with the one I select is shown on the right. I neither want nor need this time-consuming & memory-consuming process to take place. I would like to be able to disable this feature in order to allow me to do what I want directly and faster (P3/866MHz/512MB).

    Perhaps, but the problem is I don't really know what to look for. I've tried doing a keyword search of the AIprefs file to find where ICC profiles and compression could be located but I couldn't find anything. Does anyone know what they are called and what I should modify?

  • "Save As" dialog box is too large

    Recently, while using Acrobat 9, the "Save As" dialog box began opening as a full-screen box.  Is there a way to change it back to a small dialog box?
    Thanks for your help!

    I experience the identical problem with Acrobat Professional ver 8.3.0 on Windows 7 32-bit. The same thing can also happen with the "File > Open" dialog box.
    In both cases, there is a simple solution:  Right Mouse Button in the window's top border to bring up a context menu.  Select "Restore".  The window immediately resizes smaller and can be further resized in the usual way by hovering the mouse over a corner.  To fill the screen again with these dialog boxes, select "Maximize" in the RMB context menu.

  • How to customize the Save as dialog Box for saving Web Query???

    Hello,
       we are usnging SAP NW Portal and BI 7.0 (SP14).
       We have published BI web queries in the Portal and it works just fine, now when the User select the Button "Save As" in the Context Menu of any web query, this will open a new Dialog Box name "Save As Dialog Box", so from this dialog box the user can select where to save the query, he/she have 3 options* to save qureies: My Favorites, Bex Portfolio and MyPortfolio, this also works fine.
      My Quetsion is: How can i customize the View of this "Save As" dialog box, so at the end the User can only select 2 Options:  My Favorites + MyPortfolio. So how to hide the Tab:  Bex Portfolio in the Dialog Box.
    Points for any good answer.
    Many Thanks and Regards,

    In what you have posted, there is no reason it shouldn't work the same way in Acrobat 9. I would recommend that you submit your complete application to developer support.

  • Invoking a save as dialog box for known mime type

    What i need is, when the user clicks on the link to download the file it has to open up the standard file save as / open dialog box.

I don't want to do that way. i want the dailog box to appear only on clicking the <a href> link.My servlet code which writes out the html is given below. when the user clicks on the sane link gicen in my code, he should be able to save the image onto his local disk. please let me know how can this be done?

    Where did you get this command from? There's no such thing in Acrobat
    JavaScript as a Save object or an execevent method.
    Also, there's no need to save a file in a batch process. It happens
    automatically. If you really want to do it, use the saveAs method of the
    Document object. Have a look at the reference files to see how it's done.

  • Save As dialog box sort order

    I have a user with Adobe Acrobat 7 Standard installed on Windows XP SP3.  When they go to save a pdf document, the Save As dialog box is in list view and not sorted by folder/file name by default.  So, they have to change to Details view and then change the sort to be by name.  They have to do this every time they save a document.  Is there a way to change this?  They would like the sort order to be by name every time they open the Save As dialog box.

  • Setting a default location of the 'Save As' dialog box

    I know this is an unusual question, but I do a lot of file-naming at work with Adobe Standard and it would help me if I could set a default location of the 'Save As' dialog box -- say, by dragging it to the corner of the screen so that the next time Adobe opens, the 'Save As' box will open in that location (rather than in the center by default).
    By this, I don't mean setting a location for one session, which it does automatically, but rather setting an initial location for when Acrobat starts up.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • All Office 2010 Applications Slow To Produce "OPEN" or "SAVE AS" Dialog Box ONLY When PC Connected To Network

    Hello all,
    Frustrating problem: ALL Office 2010 apps require a 45 second delay to produce an "open" or "save as" dialog box when the computer is connected to a LAN (wireless or wired, domain or workgroup). When the computer is NOT connected to a LAN (wireless or wired,
    domain or workgroup), then Office 2010 "open" or "save as" dialog boxes open normally (and quickly).
    I suspect a network search/survey function internal to MS Office is at fault.
    This is NOT the infamous mapped network drive problem associated with Office 2007/2010. There are no mapped drives (nor have there ever been) on the PC, although there might exist a related solution. Additionally, there is no 45 second delay when opening
    a file by double-clicking on the file itself which will launch the application.
    Other information:
    1. PC runs Windows 7 Pro 32 bit - PC is a relatively new Lenovo T400 laptop, all updates from Lenovo and MS installed, running clean and nicely otherwise, no spyware, no viruses, no previous software or hardware issues requiring assistance. Event log is
    clean.
    2. Absolutely fresh installation of Office 2010 Pro Plus (MS Action Pack)
    3. Running Office apps in safe mode does not alter problem behavior (ie, "windword.exe /a" or use CTRL key and double-click to launch app)
    4. Running Windows 7 in safe mode with networking and then subsequently testing Office apps is not possible: "license not able to validate" issue. This is a known problem and is not related to the slow dialog box response behavior.
    5. A desktop PC with the same MS Office 2010 installation, same volume license key, on the same network does NOT produce this problem.
    6. Full uninstall, reboot, and re-install of Office 2010 does not alleviate problem
    7. Disabling ALL startup items and services (including, of course, ALL Lenovo management software) does not alleviate problem
    8. SMB v2 bug is not the problem: ie, disabling mrxsmb20 service does not alleviate symptoms.
    9. I have isolated "Client for Microsoft Networks", "QOS Packet Scheduler", "Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper I/O Driver" (and Responder), and "Printer and File Sharing for MS Networks" in the network adapter properties are NOT causing the issue.
    10. Using Sysinternals Registry Monitor, I was able to determine that Office apps evaluate certain properties of your Internet Explorer settings before attempting to launch the "open" or "save as" dialog box. Altering the way intranets are detected, for
    example, does not alleviate the symptoms.
    11. Turning off Antivirus software (Avira Personal) does not alleviate the issue.
    This issue is causing a huge loss of work efficiency. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you for your time.
    Sincerely,
    Rick

    Hello Rick,
    Through all the research I have done so far and talking with a few other coworkers what the common issues that cause this are is:
    1. Antivirus: disabling the antivirus is not good enough it needs to be totaly uninstalled and retested.
    2. startup programs: these need to be disabled through either Safe mode with networking or the start menu or MSconfig.
    3. Office addins: Disable all of them see if that helps. Then turn them back on one by one to see which addin is causing the issue.
    To disable addins: 1. open up regedit and navigate to this key. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Addins and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins
    Then change the LoadBehavior to 0 this will disable the addin. 3 lets it run. Since this affected only one user HKEY_LOCAL_USER might be your best bet but don't rule out the other location.
    To verify there are no addins running go to the File tab>options>Add-Ins make sure nothing is listed under Active Application Add-ins.
    I hope this helps
    Thanks,
