The Save As Default Folder

When you click Save As, the default folder given is the folder of the last save instead of the last file opened. Is there any way to change this? Is the behavior the same in Pages '09?
As a clarifying example, I'm working on a file called Mine.pages and I save it to the folder MyFolder. Then I open a different file called OtherFile.pages in the folder SomeOtherFolder. When I do Save As on OtherFiles.pages, I would expect (and really like) for the folder location to come up as SomeOtherFolder. However, the folder that comes up is the last one saved to, which is MyFolder.

When we save a document, the application is aware of its original location so it saves it in this one.
When we use Save As, nothing informs the app about the destination folder.
Two design choices where available:
(a) use the late save location
(b) use the late open location
Each option has pros and cons features.
Your choice is option (b), the designer's choice is option (a).
You may _Go to "Provide Pages Feedback" in the "Pages" menu_, describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'10
But please, ask for a pref allowing the user to change the behavior to fit his wishes, not for a complete change which would make some users happy but some other users ungry.

  • How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

    How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

    Hi Ed
    Thank you for contacting me, however I already know how to save text to
    audio files via timeline using the Export feature.
    So my question was not entirely clear and I apologize for that.  To explain
    further, whenever I save a text to audio file, captivate takes me to a
    default save as folder where I then have browse back to my production
    folder where I am keeping all my Txt to Aud files.  This is very tedious
    process when you have alot of files to save.  So my question was is there a
    way to configure captivate so I can make my production folder the default
    file for whenever I save a Txt to Audio file through Export feature that
    the system automatically takes me to that production folder, and I am
    spared the long tedious process of saving the file manually to the
    prodcution folder I want.
    I have copy the pathway to the production folder in the URL filed in the
    Save As dialoge box and that workaround as cut the work down but I still
    have to paste that URL field to point the file to the right folder. So it
    would be nice if I could do everything automatically.  Microsoft makes this
    capability in their MS Office applications, so I was thinking Adobe might
    do the same thing.  Your help with this would be appreicated,
    Thanks

  • Can I switch off the Save As default after applying redactions and just save

    I am using a Document Management system - I open the document to apply the redactions using Acrobat XI Pro, but then would like to save the pdf (instead of it defaulting to Save As which prompts me to save another version outside the DMS) - as the document management system creates its own rendition to publish to the website.

  • Save for web folder prefs in new illustrator

    Where can you set the save for web folder prefs in the new illustrator, i.e. not have it create an images folder...
    -Thanks

    On a MAC it does seem to stick on the last option you saved e.g. Jpeg if it was a Jpeg image.
    For windows, this seems to work:
    Find the file PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe using explorer (in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 8.0 folder) right click on that file and choose Run As Administrator.
    Go back to the editor, open an image, select Save for Web and choose jpeg; then save that file. The next time you run the editor and use the save for web command the jpeg type should hopefully stick as the default.

  • Save pdf to folder in JPEG / save aperture book to JPEG

    Hello guys,
    basically I want to save my created photo book in Aperture in the best possible quality.
    I have read the FAQ on apertureexpert.com about "save pdf to folder in JPEG" and have also downloaded the script that was posted their but it did not work as expected.
    http://www.apertureexpert.com/forum-user/post/1306850
    The problem is that I can't really change any settings about the script (like change dpi to 300 like in the video below). Opening it in Automator does not bring the hoped features.
    Basically I want to do exactly what is done in this video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ7ywI5N9o8
    I might want to export the photos in TIFF too one day!
    I am desperately trying to export my photo book in the best possible quality! I have spend the whole day trying to solve this problem without finding anything on google!
    Would there be any possibilities to just download the complete "Save pdf to folder in TIFF" and "Save pdf to folder in JPEG" script somewhere? That would would be the optimal solution, a download link or simply an upload from someone how as the scripts that originally ware pre-installed on a mac. You can check if you have these under "Macintosh HD/Library/Pdf Services".
    Thanks a lot for your help! I would really appreciate it!
    Best,
    Gordon

    It actually goes thru the motions and appears to be working, but ultimately the pages are not actually created or saved anywhere. I have tried over and over, numerous things, but in the end there are no actual pages created... its weird. I specify exactly where to save the pages, and when its done, there is nothing there....
    Also, when I run the Play button on the "Save PDF to folder as JPEG" in automator, it encounters an error at the "Move Finder Items", the step where it would actually place or save the JPEGs to that location.... I can not seem to figure out what went wrong, as it did work before and I don't know what I could have done to cause an error...

  • Save in draft folder - problem

    As I understand it, the save in draft folder function is supposed to appear only for XDP forms.  We have a PDF form where the submit button in the form is set to submit as PDF.  And yet, the save button still appears in workspace container.  If a user selects the save button and later opens the form/task, the form is converted to XML and unviewable.
    Within the UserServiceV2 activity, I do not check off the "Reader Submit - Submit via Reader" checkbox.  All of our users have acrobat.
    Is there some way for the function to work with PDFs?  If not, is there a standard workaround to offer that feature to end users?
    Thanks

    Hi Livecycle Architect,
    Did you ever resolve this issue? I have a part of the problem that you describe here. While all my forms are submitted as XDP, if we save a form to Drafts, when we open it latter it shows XML and the form is unusable.
    Any pointers will help.
    Thanks

  • "Save PDF to folder as JPEG.workflow"

    ...is now missing from my library/PDF services folder.
    I use Aperture to design my books, which I have printed by Asuka and other vendors. I set up workflows to export the books at the appropriate DPI (271 for Asuka, 300 for the flush mount albums I do).
    When the the JPEG's weren't showing up in the folder I tried to save to I checked my Library/PDF services folder to find the "Save PDF to folder as JPEG.workflow" missing.
    Should I re-install Aperture from the disk? If I do so how will it affect my library?
    Thanks

    Installing Aperture again will not affect your library, so there is no risk doing that.

  • Save PDF to folder as JPEG - NOT WORKING!

    Please help me, after many failed attempts to save my aperture book design as PDF to folder as JPEG, I decided to try to save PDF to folder as TIFF. Unbelievably it worked without error. This proved to me that I am doing everything right, there must be a problem with the save as JPEG option. I am trying to save this way so that I can take my design to a different album vendor other than apple. The closest I came to having the JPEG option work was it saved only a small handful of the page files, not all of them. ANY advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

    I just tried the Save PDF to folder as JPEG and everything worked correctly. This workflow is actually an Apple Automator action, so you could go to Root/Library/PDF Services and open the workflow in Automator and look to see if somehow the action is messed up.
    Maybe worth the try.

  • Aperture 3 save PDF to folder as JPEG option missing from PDF services?

    I have Aperture 3 downloaded from the App store in a MAC OSX 10.6.7 but the save PDF to folder as jPEG option is missing from the print menu? I do not have discs to re-install Aperture so can I add a workflow directly to the PDF services library and if so where can I get a copy of this workflow?

    Hi frank, thanks for the advice, I am very new to Apple and Aperture. I think I am looking at the second print menu, I am basically trying to add text to a phot and have followed this online guide
    http://photo.rwboyer.com/2010/02/07/aperture-book-tool-screen-cast-take-two/
    I can do everything except the last part which is save PDF to folder as JPEG. My version of aperture does not give me this option and I only have access to the following:
    Open PDF in preview
    Save as PDF
    Save as Post Script
    Mail PDF
    Save as PDF-X
    Save PDF to iPhoto
    Save PDF to web receipts folder
    Pictures
    Edit Menu
    There is no option to Save PDF to folder as JPEG and I cannot add this function from the Edit menu? Previous discussions suggest re-installing Aperture 3 but I downloaded this from the App store so do not have discs to reinstall?
    Thanks

  • Save PDF to Folder as Jpeg/300 dpi

    Question about exporting custom book design into Jpegs/300 dpi. I do it, it seems to be working and then once it stops I can't find the file with the jpegs of the book design. Not sure if it's saving and if it is where it's saving to? I went into automator (which I know nothing about) and when I run the 'save PDF to folder as jpeg" action, I get an error message. Help! Thanks in advance!

  • Save PDF to folder as JPG not working....

    I can't figure out why all of a sudden Aperture book pages exported as JPG's aren't showing up anywhere. I did change the dpi setting to 300 and have successfully exported other books recently, but today I finished a book layout and wanted to export the pages as JPGs and they won't show up anywhere.
    Also, when I press "Run" in the Save PDF to folder as JPEG I do get an error at the "Move Finder Items" step, where it allows you to denote where the pages should be saved.
    I have tried deleting that step and reinserting the same one, but I get the same error over and over and can't figure out how to fix it.
    When I run the Print Book and Save PDF to folder as JPEG in Aperture, it will run thru the whole process but ultimately not save the pages anywhere, they just don't show up...
    Any idea what is happening and why?

    It actually goes thru the motions and appears to be working, but ultimately the pages are not actually created or saved anywhere. I have tried over and over, numerous things, but in the end there are no actual pages created... its weird. I specify exactly where to save the pages, and when its done, there is nothing there....

  • Save as default does not work

    Pages 09 constantly defaults to US Letter.  I've tried to change to US Letter Borderless but the 'Save as Default' on Page Setup does not work.  I've reloaded Pages to no avail.
    Any tips, tricks or suggestions?

    Is it an already saved document you are having problem with or one of the templates? How do you know that it doesn't default to Borderless? But when I try on Snow Leopard it doesn't remember borderless either.

  • When I am saving photos from a file, I cannot get the save path to go back to the default folder I want them in. Each save has to be done by going through the path to find the folder I'm saving to.

    I am saving photo files from my camera, a drop box etc. I used to be able to click "save as" and the folder I saved in before came up for saving the new image. Now, I have to start way back to the "Barb" folder - to "documents" "images, etc" back up to the folder I save these particular pictures in.
    How do I get the "save" to go to the last folder I used - in this particular session?
    Everytime you route me back to "educated guesses" I cannot find this particular problem

  • When I want to save a PDF attachment to an email, it defaults to a temp folder.  How do I change the default folder?

    When saving a PDF attachment to an email, I want to change the default folder.  How do I do that?

    Hi brs texas,
    Do I understand correctly that you're downloading a PDF that you received in an email? The default save location is a function of the email client, not of Acrobat or the PDF, so steps to change that folder would vary by email client. Please check the documentation for your email.
    Best,

  • When I change the default folder to save downloads in the options menu, it later reverts to the default folder even though I have made not changes in options. Any ideas? thanks!

    In the Options menu I changed the default download location (folder) to a folder I have on my desktop and saved the changes. But this option reverts to the default folder when I turn on my computer and open FF the next day.

    Thank you for your response.
    I do use CCleaner and just ran it. It did not change the download option folder that I had changed from the default so it appears that this is not cause.
    Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks again!
