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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    hi,

    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.

  • 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 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.

    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 can I set the default save format for photoshop edited photos?

    I just spotted that some of my photos that I've edited in Photoshop from Lightroom are a whopping 450MB. Looking deeper I found that they are saved as uncompressed TIFF files, this despite the default save format for Photoshop in Lightroom's preferences being set to ZIP compressed TIFF files. So why doesn't this setting work and how can I make Photoshop save things compressed?

    Sounds funny but first tell us what version of PS you have, what version of Lr and which OS. Thanks.

  • HT4356 How can I set the default to draft instead of normal printing?

    I'd like to do most of my printing in Draft mode to save ink.  How do I set that as the default, or even change it on the fly, when printing from the iPad Mini to an AirPrint printer?  I have an HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus.
    Thanks!

    I've got the printer's default set to draft and that works well for printing from the computer.
    AirPrint seems to override that and always prints in Normal mode.

  • Can't locate Adobe PDF Printer

    Hi there. I am trying to convert a word document to PDF at printing but my printer menu does not include the entry "Adobe PDF Printer." I have Windows XP with Adobe Acobat 6.0 Professional. How do I get the Adobe PDF Printer into the Printer menu? Thanks for your help.

    Hi Tom, if repairing doesn't reinstall the PDF printer, you may have a Lexmark® printer installed or even QuickTime® installed. I've heard that both of those can prevent the PDF printer installing because it harnesses the Print Spooler so Acrobat is unable to install.

  • 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.

  • Setting A default view per location per user VSM7.6

    Hello
    Is it possible to define a default view for each location per user with VSM 7.6 ?
    In other words, I would like for a user X , once logged, when he hits any location name, he gets a default view composed of all or a subset of the cameras with the secondary stream .
    Is this possible with VSM7.6 ?
    thanks.

    Hi,
    First enable that end user can set rows per page displayed. (that you did disabled)
    Run page. Set rows per page to report to 10.
    Save default report from action menu.
    Then disable that end users can not set rows per page.
