Hello

I don't know if it's the new PC or what, but when I open an Excel or Word doc in a folder, and want to save it as a PDF, it is not putting it in the same folder but a folder I may have used a day ago. It didn't used to do this. It used to save it in the same location that the original doc is. How can I get it to save it in the same place that the original Word or Excel file is?

Hi Barbara5750,

Thank you for reaching out, and sorry about the trouble caused.

As you are not able to save the PDF in the same location where the original document was, please let us know what happens when you select the same location. Do you get any error message?

If you are referring to something else, please share more information. It would be helpful if you could share the screen recording or the screenshot.

Let us know if you need any help.

Thanks,

Meenakshi

I can put it in the folder where I want it without an error message. I don't understand why the folder where I I opened the Word doc is not the folder where it wants to put the ADOBE doc I just madefrom it.

Example, I open a Word doc called PERMIT in a folder called WEDDINGS. I go SAVE AS PDF, the explorer window pulls up and has the location of another folder altogether where it wants to save it instead of the folder WEDDINGS where I just opened the WORD doc from. I then have to go hunt for the Weddings folder and select it.
