Question

Adobe Acrobat Pro moves when saving a PDF with another name

I am operating on Windows 10 - with Adobe Acrobate Pro DC - Version 2019.021.20048.

 

I read through aritcales and found people having problems getting the program to open on a specifc screen.  I have that resolved, but now - if I have a PDF open and I select SAVE AS and pick my folder and save the PDF with a different name than when I opened it - Adobe moves to the primary screen.  I don't want it on the primary screen, I want it on my second screen; which is where it opens and I always use it.  WHY is it doing this?  Is anyone else having this issue?  If so, has anyone discovered the WHY?  It is creating rage in my already stressful and fast pace day.  

 

HELP

Robert

    I am curious if any other program behaves this way, or is it just Acrobat?  I would tend to be just as suspicious of the OS doing this.  I have a work laptop that likes to make things move from screen to screen, and it occurs when my machine goes into sleep mode, and moves on wakeup.  Any more details you can provide might help troubleshoot.

    My best,

    Dave

    Hello Dave,

     

    It is only Adobe that is doing this.  The only work around I have found is not maximizing it.  I streatch it as far to each side, top and bottom as I can and work with it.

     

    I've updated software - still an issue.

     

    Thanks,

    Robert

      I am batlling the same issue with Acrobat Reader, set to fill half of the screen on my second monitor. Like you said, it's not a big deal, but just add it the list of "Things Software and Operating Systems Do that Make No Sense." It drives my CDO (That's "OCD" with the letters arranged alphabetically, as they SHOULD be...) straight up the wall! I mean, c'mon... aren't there a few lines of code they could throw in to keep their software from ruining our day??? (I know — First World Tech Problems...)


      Agree @Artboy34, it is something that Adobe could correct.

      But this is a user-to-user help forum and the engineers rarely show their face here.

       

      Suggestion: log this as a bug-fix/feature request in the UserVoice forum, https://acrobat.uservoice.com/  It has a great chance of being noticed by Adobe's engineers and customer service team.
