Default save as folder  in acrobat XI

In acrobat X and before, when we complete editing a pdf file, and then use "save as" to save the work, the default folder is exactly the destination of the modified file, but in acrobat XI, it is not, so when we choose "Save as", sometimes it will be a boring work to select the original folder.
please consider this in further updates, or if there is something wrong with me, please tell me!

I have a related question, as I am considering upgrading to Acrobat 11 from 10:
In the "Save As" dialog box, is there a Windows search box built in, like many programs have? So, that, after you scan something, and select Save As, the dialog box has a a search box (usually at the top right) where you can type in the first few letters of the folder you want to file the newly scanned document in. The folders matching that search will then pop up as choices, and you can quickly select the correct folder to save in. Without that, for newly scanned docs (I use Fujitsu Scan Snap), I have to drill down into a lot of nested folders, which takes a lot of time. That's why I keep hoping Acrobat will get the search box in the Save As dialog, and then I'll upgrade. Can anyone tell me if it's in 11 (i.e., XI)?
Thanks,
Jim

  • Set Default "Save As" Path When Launching

    Hello,
    Is it possible to pass command-line arguments to Reader (and what are the options)? I cannot seem to find documentation on this.
    Specifically, I would like to open a document, in Reader, from an external process, with the 'Save As' option pointing to a folder different that the one the document resides in. The document resides in a temporary folder. If the user wishes to save it to disk using "Save As", it defaults to the external process' temp folder. Users tend to just want to save it there, and it gets cleaned up when by the external application. This makes my users grumpy.
    Thus, if I could launch the process with an argument that points the working directory to something other than the directory the document resides in, that would be cool.
    Thanks.

  • 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.

  • How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file?

    How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file with Acrobat 9.0.0 Standard?

    I am not seeing that behaviour. If I right-click a link to a .pdf file, I get the file saved with the original filename.
    Maybe one of the settings in about:config controls that?
    pdfjs.previousHandler.preferredAction is a setting that has a value of 4 with my setup. I have no idea what that means, and I could not find any explanation anywhere. You could try using different numbers for that value and see if any make any difference. Why has nobody bothered to explain that setting anywhere?

  • 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.

  • CS 5.5 Save To Web Default To Same Folder As Original?

    This has driven me NUTS since CS3... I'm hoping there is a solution I just never figured out.
    When I open a PSD and then click Save To Web it always saves to the last folder I had Saved To Web... NOT the folder of the PSD I just opened. So about 50% of the time I save to the -wrong- folder.
    Is there not a setting that tells PS to 'By Default Save To Same Folder As PSD'?
    TIA,

    Darius,
    you need to create several rules, one for every customer. In this rule choose machting criteria and then on the bottom select "Move/Copy E-Mail to" and right next to it the desired mailbox.

  • 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 do I by default save new documents in a particular folder?

    In OS10.3.9, how do I by default save new documents in a particular folder? I have created a new folder called new docs which I have put in the dock, and would like to save all new documents in that folder...
    Thanks,
    Michael

    ibisbill:
    I think you need to navigate to the Folder when you want to save. If you are saving documents created in Word, after a while Word may learn the location and go there.
    Incidentally, the folder in the Dock was created and resides elsewhere. That is where you will need to navigate to when you save.
    Good luck.

  • Can I set the default save location in text edit to dropbox?

    I'm happy with dropbox for now and want to set the default save folder to a dropbox folder but I cannot see how to do this.
    Can it be done? Or do I need a 3 party text editor?
    Thanks
    Tom

    You cannot. Because this option both takes much longer and reduces the quality of files, it has to be chosen specifically.
    In any case, when you save a PDF file from Word. this process does not involve Acrobat or Adobe software in any way.

  • 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.

  • Changing Default Save Location in Pages?

    Recently moved my wife from Microsoft Word to Pages in Lion
    All her work docs have been in Word (saved to many different particular folders in Dropbox)
    Whenever she opens in pages and edits I would like it to save back to the same folder it was edited from (and ideally overwite the old Word document as a 'default save option' is that possible?
    At the moment the default save is to "Documents" and you have to navigate back to the old folder manually and save new pages document. Then you have to  back to finder and deleting the original Word document (otherwise duplicates with same name just without the .doc ending). It is a very awkward workflow which I know will drive her nuts and is open to easy errors of her filing
    Any help much appreciated

    When you open a Word document with Pages, you are in the same condition than when you create a new document from a template.
    There is no path linked to the created document so, the save dialog will default to the late folder used to save.
    I assume that there is at least one third party tool allowing us to behave differently but I don't know which one.
    Here is a short script which may help.
    It doesn't treat several docs at a time.
    Just use it to open a Word document. The script will be aware of the original document so it will be able to save automatically a Pages version in the source folder.
    If a Pages document with the same stripped name than the Word doc already exists, the new Pages document will be date_time stamped :
    In such case, azerty.doc will be not be saved as azerty.pages but as azerty_20110819_165721.pages
    --{code}
    --[SCRIPT Doc2pages.app]
    Save the script as an Application Bundle.
    Run it or drag and drop a Word's doc icon on its icon.
    It export the doc file as Pages one in the source folder.
    Assuming that we start with:
              trucmuche.doc
    it will be exported as:
              trucmuche.pages
    If a file with the short name already exists
    it is saved as:
              trucmuche_20080128-221639.pages
              the serial number is a packed version of the date/time of the save process:
              2008/01/08-22:16:39 .

  • SBS 2011 GPO for changing the default save path applying to Win7 but not working

    So this is a strange one. I've got an SBS 2011 server that's the only domain controller in the org. I've created a GPO to change the default save location for Excel 2013 and Word 2013 using the Office 2013 ADMX files which were installed to the PolicyDefinitions
    folder.
    The GPO (U-Office2013 Default Save Location) only contains:
    1. User Configuration - Microsoft Excel 2013/Excel Options/Save - Default file location - Enabled - Z:\
    2. User Configuration - Microsoft Word 2013/Word Options/Advanced/File Locations - Default file location - Enabled - Z:\
    The GPO is linked at the OU that contains my users for my SBS organization.
    When I do a gpupdate /force on a windows 7 system with office2013 installed, and then run a gpresult/rsop, the policy appears to be applied successfully as it lists my GPO under the Applied GPOs list on the workstation:
    Applied GPOs
    Default Domain Policy dyndns.local AD (24), Sysvol (24)
    U-Office2013 Default Save Location domain.local/SBSusers AD (6), Sysvol (6)
    In the gpresult report, the applied settings appear under:
    Administrative Templates
    Extra Registry Settings
    software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\excel\options\defaultpath Z:\ U-Office2013 Default Save Location
    software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\word\options\doc-path Z:\ U-Office2013 Default Save Location
    BUT, when I go to the workstation, and check office->options-Save-default file path, the path has not been changed to what the GPO is pushing.
    The strange thing is that in my test environment running 2008R2 server and Win7 with Office 2013 and identical settings the default save location is applied and works as expected.
    Any ideas?
    I've already tried re-installing the ADMX templates and re-created the GPO's several times.
    Thanks in advance.

    When a group policy is not applying, it is often that it has been linked to the wrong OU. Please first check this.
    You might also check the apply status on the client site based on the GPSVC.log.

  • FileReference.save() change the default save location

    I am creating an application in flex that downloads a file from the server and saves it to a default location on the server.

    but i want to make this default save dialog to open this folder: USER_HOME/CONFIG/FILES
