Question

Getting 'Save As' option instead of 'Save' when saving PDF from VB.Net app

I am trying to save a PDF document from a VB.net application and always get the 'Save As' option instead of the 'Save' option.  If I do the same edit to the same document outside of the VB.Net app, from the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC app then the normal 'Save' option is available.  How can I get the 'Save' option in this case?

I am starting an instance of the AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF from VB.Net.   

Any help is appreciated.  Thank you.

    Using Adobe Reader (AxAcroPDF1).  Is this issue related to Adobe's Protected Mode?

    Hi, Tariq. Hope you can help me with this question. Adobe Acrobat does not have the SAVE option when I edit a PDF document. My VB.Net application allows the user to open, edit (fill in a PDF form) and save it, but instead of Save user only gets Save As which forces user to decide on the location. I need to offer the SAVE option. Please let me know what additional details you need. Thank you.
