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.

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.

Photoshop Elements 11 Editor : File/Open - How can I set a default folder ?

Hi
When I am in the Photoshop Elements 11 Editor and I want to load a picture from "My Pictures" on my hard disk ...
I go the menu item File/Open ...
Right now PE11 opens the last picture folder I worked with before ...
How can I make PE11 show the root directory of the "My Pictures" Library.
I do not want people to see which pictures I have been working with lately.

Before quitting the app after you have worked clic Edit->Preferences and click Reset preferences on next launch.
This would reset the settings and next time it will open my pictures by default with file open,
Thanks,
Garry

In your Optimize settings if you set it to "Make Compatible with Acrobat 5.0 or Later" it will bring it down to PDF 1.4

How can I set a default save file for scans using the Solution Center?

Using Windows 7 - 64 bit. HP Photosmart Premuim C-309a All-In-One Printer.
Because of a Windows crash, I had to install a new drive and reload Windows. I also reloaded other software like the HP Solution Center & Drivers. My problem is that I can't find how to set a default folder for my scans. This is NOT mentioned in the user manual but it was originally accomplished by HP Tech Support when the printer was new. Can anyone relate how to set default folders for my scans?
Thanks.

This question was solved.

Here is a document on how to scan through Windows 7.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03476857
Click either solution center or the icon of the printer on your desktop. Here select "Scanner Actions" (or the analogous selection). When the window pops up from the HP software it should provide you with options for file type (.tiff, .pdf, .jpg) as well as resolution and media size. Here on this page there is also an option for you to go to the advanced options. Using this you can alter the default safe folder.
Let me know if that helps you out!

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big. I see how to change the size after the document is open by going to File/properties/initial view and saving this setting. I want all documents to open at 100% when they are first opened. Can I set this as a default view?

Hey Kris,
You might go to Edit> Preferences> Zoom
Do this without opening any particular PDF so that it applies to the program itself and not just one document.
Try this and then let me know.

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.

Hello EireReality. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Can I set a default home page when people use my router?
No, at least not that I'm aware of. Setting a "default home page" is typical feature of a web browser, not an Internet router.

How Can I Set a Default Placeholder Text Language?

How can I set a default placeholder text language instead of having to set the language every time I use placeholder text?

I think the default placeholder text language is the language of your version of InDesign.
The placeholder text is based on the current language setting. So if the language under the cursor is Hebrew, you'll get Hebrew.

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.

Can I set a default to effect settings? Or apply the same effect settings to multiple clips?

If I want to set multiple clips to have the same effect, can I do that without resetting the effects every time I add it?
Or can I set a default setting to an effect that is different from the default default?
