When save PDFs, always does "Save As." help please!

Hi, I recently downloaded Adobe Reader XI. For PDFs that are already saved to my computer, whenever I comment on them (add text) and click Save, Adobe Reader always interprets that as "Save As" for the file and wants me to give it a name even though it already has one. When I give it the name it already has, Adobe Reader asks me if I want to replace the existing file. Does anyone know how to change this?? This is the case each time the PDF has been commented on. It is so very annoying. There aren't protections or locks on the PDFs that I 'm aware of. Thanks!

I am also new with this version but it seems Adobe is not like Word document where you have an icon for "save" and "save as". It is my understanding that you are revising a document and wants to replace the old one. When it asks you "if I want to replace the existing file" and you do not want to keep the old version, just click yes and that will replace the old version. Same thing with word, if you want to replace the old version, you get a message asking you if you want to replace it and you click yes. Hope this helps.

It is a part of the Sandboxing feature, to enable straight saving to certain directories you can manually approve/whitelist them.

Edit - Preferences - Security (enhanced) - Add Folder Path.
