Can I set a default folder for "save as"?

Hello,
I opened a pdf file attachment to an email by double-clicking it. When I wanted to save the file using File/Save As... , the folder/directory shown was the location where MS Outlook placed the attachment.
I am using Acrobat Reader XI (latest version) on a Windows 7 64bit PC. I could not find any method to change this default behavior of Save As.
Is it possible to change the behavior of the Save As function to use one or more of the following:
a fixed user-defined folder/directory
the last folder/directory used for the Save As dialog (which should be displayed with the full path) !
the same location where the currently open file was opened (this is the current & only behavior)
It would be most useful if the default behavior could be selected among these options in the Edit/Preferences... dialog. Additionally, in the Save As dialog these same options should be displayed with the default selected, thus giving the user the ability to change the behavior for a specific Save As operation.
If there is no way to do this (e.g.. with an "undocumented" feature or command-line switch), would Adobe consider implementing this?
Thank you!

apparently Adobe doesn't give a sh!t about it's users. The possibility to change default behaviour has been removed with the introduction of version 10 and hasn't come back since. For over 3 years people are complaining about this on the forum and are being offered poor workarounds (create a shortcut in your temp folder pointing to your desktop? for fck sake!)
Adobe employees will tell you 'default system behaviour' ******** and basicly tell u to go finger ur bu.thole.
I use to buy their products (adobe creative suite) but the fact they don't give 2 sh!ts about their customers made me pick another vendor.
Best solution i can offer u is just use ANY of the 10.000 other freeware utilities that do offer the basic functionality u'd expect.

Setting a default folder for exports

I am sure when I migrated from Snow Leopard to Lion that it asked me to set a default folder to save files and exports.
I set this to one I don't use and would like to amend it - how can I do this?

Besides the location for Downloads, there is nothing in the OS itself that will do that.
There is a third-party program called Default Folder which I think does something like that.

How do I set the default folder for file - open file... ?

When I save a file, photo, etc., the default folder for OPENING a file becomes the last folder I SAVED to - even after closing and reopening Firefox. Is there a way to maintain the same default folder for opening files?
Thanks.

I ask a question here as a last resort -- after I've done what I think
is an appropriate search for answers.
But thanks for your help in any case.

Hi,
The problem exists in my project still exist.That is it.
When I did not set weblogic.jsp.encoding to GB2312 in my web
application(web.xml), and when the jsp file contain's chinese , the
output
will be error(error chinese) .And when I did not set it , the output
is
correct, but when I use request.getParameter("SomeFormElement")(theelement
inputed chinese), the return value is error(still chinese error).And
when
I
am in windows nt english version and do not set this property, all
these
two
problems dispear. And I try to compare the java files those were
generated
by weblogic from the jsp file , there is only two additional clause
in
the
java file. That's it:
((weblogic.servlet.jsp.JspWriterImpl)out).setEncoding("GB2312");
response.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html; charset=GB2312");
(the web.xml has <context-param>
<param-name>weblogic.jsp.encoding</param-name>
<param-value>GB2312</param-value>
</context-param> to be set
So, I think maybe it works well if I change the default locale toenglish.
And unfortunately, your method is also failed.(I have to use weblogic
in
chinese environment)
Would you please help me to solve this problem?

I am hoping to find a way to set a default font for cs6. I work for a company where i need to use Meta book. Every time I create a new title/text slide, i have to change the font to meta book. is there a way to make meta book the font that always comes up(as a default) when i go to create a new title/text

You set up your font in the Title Properties then go the panel (dropdown) menu of the Title Styles and select New Style.

How can I set a default zoom for the browser (freeze it)?

Hello, there's an option of using the Ctrl + + to zoom the Web page, but it reverts to the Firefox default zoom in the midst which is very annoying. Generally, I'd like to be able to set a certain default zoom level and then only if needed use the CTRL +/- zoom in and out options. So my optimal zoom level is used for all my browsing unless I change it.

I have listed 2 add-ons below for you to consider. I have not used NoSquint, but I use and rely on Default FullZoom Level.
*You can set a default zoom level in DFZL Options
*You can use the mouse scroll wheel on the Add-on Bar DFZL icon to increase or decrease the zoom or click the icon and choose from the available zoom percentages.
*In NoSquint, it says it saves the zoom level by web site/page.
*'''''Default FullZoom Level''''': https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
*'''''NoSquint''''': https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
**More info on NoSquint: http://urandom.ca/nosquint/
You can also set a "Minimum Font Size" in Firefox Options > Content > Fonts & Colors Advanced".

In PSE 12, how can I change the default folder for scans?

By default, PSE uses the Windows preferred location for this user. I have a folder that is easier to access, simply D:\Scans, and I have to enter this manually, as well as removing the default to set up a folder with "today's date" every time I do a scan. I would like to modify these default settings. Surely those locations must be held in an installed file somewhere, and so if I can just edit that file I'd be very happy! All help appreciated.

I have no suggestion for registry editing or setting files editing, but depending on which version of Windows you have you don't have to stick with C:\Users. Right-click the relevant folder and change the location in the Location tab.
Cheers,
Neale

Can I set a default folder in Acrobat?

Most of my PDF files are in one location. I would like to be able to set that location as the default folder in which Acrobat will look when I want to open a file.

You can not reset the default, but you could place a short cut to the folder in the default folder.

How can I set a default currency for all my Numbers 03 files - currently it's Lithuanian!

I have Numbers 03, and I downloaded bought some extra templates through an app in the app store. Graphic Node Version 1.6
When I open the templates, the default currency is Lithuanian, and it appears that I can only adjust the currency cell by cell, column by column page by page.
I want the default currency for any of my work to be Aussie Dollars so I don't have to change the spreadsheet each time I want a new file.
Can this be done?/

G'day 5508,
Some thoughts. Try System settings first (this may not be the culprit).
System Preferences > Language and Region > Advanced > Currency > Australian Dollar
I can only adjust the currency cell by cell, column by column page by page.
Forgive my stupidity, but if the currency is a cell format in the template, can you select all currency cells at once, then change the currency? You will have to do this separately for each Table, but within a Table, you can select a range of cells. Quicker than cell by cell.
Once you have reformatted the document that emerged from that template, save the document as a template with the same name to overwrite the old template.
Hope this helps, mate.
Regards,
Ian.

Tax codes - can you set up default value for rows and freight? HELP!

Hello - I have two issues with tax codes:
1. When adding a sales order if any of the rows do not have a value for "Tax Code" I will get an error "Row without tax was found".
- How can I get all rows on my sales orders, documents, etc to default to a specific tax code? Or will users ALWAYS have to enter the tax code?
2. When addring a sales order with Freight, if the order is added without adding a tax code to the freight I will get an error "Expense with tax was found"
- How can I get the tax code have a default value? We always use the same tax code, so it is redundant to have to enter this information.
Any suggestions?

Hi Jhon,
this is the simplest and best way to make a Tax Code default is Go to
Answer for Question 1
Administration -> Setup -> Financial -> Tax -> Tax Code Determination (Click on this)
in that screen you can set a default tax code for both sales as well as Purchase.
If you want to set Tax Code based on Vendors or Customers or Items separately then you can use the Key Fields.
Answer for Question 2
Once you enter the Tax Code in the freight i think it takes the Tax Code itself, I'm not so sure about this one though.
Hope this helps you out
regards,
Shreyas

How to set a default folder for Live Bookmarks ( instead of the bookmarks toolbar folder ) ?

When I subscribe to a RSS feed, Live Bookmarks put these in the "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder by default.
I'll like to change this default folder to another one into the bookmarks ( like the firefox : "Subcribed Feeds" folder )
Thanks

Hi Andrew
The short answer is that I dont think you can change the default "browse folder". It will let the end users browse whatever folders they have the permission to view. But you can solve your problem in some other ways, like:
1) Remove any permissions regarding the root folder for the end users. In this way they will not be able to browse it through the search component. Configure permissions for all other folders you dont want end users to access.
2) Create a range of meaningful indexes and only let the user search the indexes (with a meaningful name), not the folders. If you like, you can hide the folder search option by adding &EnableSearchFromFolder=False to the KM search parameters (search the forum for more info).
3) Give the users access to a simple KM navigation iview with a customized layoutset that only lets the end user browse the documents repository and contains a link to the UI command "search_from_here" which will "Opens a dialog box for searching within the current folder or subfolders" (taken from the description of the ui command).
Best regards,
Martin Søgaard
