Acrobat Save As function always defaults to system folder

Question

Hello all. Quite often I need to save PDF files opened from e-mail attachments in Outlook. Acrobat for some strange reason always shows me some default system folder (which is of course nonsense in this context). In other windows programs this dialog shows the last used save-as folder, which seems very logical to me and saves a lot of repeated work. Why is Acrobat not doing the same? Saving several files from Acrobat in this situation is a nightmare...

I have seen several older questions on a similar topic - I think there must have been some solution found in the last years...?

As far as I can see, it's not possible to change this setting. You can, however, see where a file is saved by going to File - Properties - Description.

Another workaround might be to print to PDF rather than saving the file. Acrobat WILL remember the location of the last document that you printed to PDF, so this is great if you have tons of them to save to one location.
