Saving Documents Downloaded from Email

I often get PDF Docs via company email and simply want to save them into a folder. I do not want to change them, but simply place them as-is into a folder. The current version of Acrobat Reader has the "save/save as" button greyed out. So the only way that button becomes active is if I make changes, which I am not doing. And there is nowhere in setting to click "file" and "save as" like in older versions. My workaround thus far has been to print the PDF as a PDF and resave. However, this does not work with fillable PDF's or ones with hyperlinks. Any ideas?

I can think of two workarounds, beside Bern's advice:

- Try pressing Ctrl+Shift+S. It should open the Save As dialog.

- Go to File - Properties (or wherever it is located now, Ctrl+D should also open it), and under the General tab click the folder path next to Location. This should open the folder where the file is currently located, and select it.

From there you can copy it elsewhere.
