Not sure what changed, but when I convert a file to PDF, I'm no longer prompted to save it in the same folder as the document. About a month or two ago, the Save As box always opened the folder the document was in and now I can't find anything that addresses how to do this.
Before I had this problem, I was using the export to PDF option inside Office programs (Word, Excel, PPT). After adding the Adobe suite and Acrobat is when the problem started. Basically, anytime I converted an Office file to PDF, it opened the last folder I had saved a PDF file into instead of the folder where the original file was located (it did this regardless of which open I selected to convert the file to PDF - Acrobat, Export to PDF in Office, and selected the PDF printer). Yesterday, I decided to remove the Acrobat plug-in on the Office programs in a last ditch effort to fix the problem and that corrected it. I am once again able to convert a file to PDF from an Office program AND be prompted to save it in the same folder the original folder is located. It appears the Acrobat plugin for Office is what created the issue.
