Android Acrobat - Location of exported image file?

Explorer ,

Copied

Using Android Acrobat, I opened & viewed a PDF of a map image.  I wanted to crop that image, so I "exported" it as an image to be a jpeg file (so I could use a different app to crop it), then I selected "Save to photos", & I saw a message displayed saying "Saved to Photos".  But I cannot find that jpeg file!  My phone doesn't have a "photos" folder and I've had no success looking for it in the phone's "Images" folder, it's "DCIM" folder, it's "DCIM/Camera" folder.  WHERE is Acrobat putting this exported file so I can get to it??  

 

Can someone please tell me where to find "exported" files?  

 

Also, I'd really like to know WHY Acrobat doesn't automatically identify the filename and actual location of exported files? 

 

I can sort of understand why they might not want to go to the trouble of building the additional capability of letting users rename the file &/or choose a different location to place it, but WHY NOT at least identify the file's name and the specific location where it gets placed? 

 

Thanks

@dpauldalton if you know the name that you saved the file, you could do a search on it on your computer? Save to Photos, is that on your Cloud? Hard Drive? Are you doing this on your phone? Look at your recent files on your file. On my phone, I can look at my recent files and folders, if I do anything on my phone.


Try that out?

I hove no idea about the name Adobe gave to that exported file.  It was a pdf map file I opened from a website.  I wasn't paying attention to the (only briefly displayed) original filename, as I knew I only wanted the exported JPG file and never expected Adobe wouldn't display either the actual "save" location or the name of the file being exported to a different format.  So, if the program had displayed the name of the exported file, I could have searched on it. 

 

WHY - when exporting a file - does the program NOT at least tell the user the name & actual location of the exported file?

Acrobat does not run on a phone. Are you using Acrobat on a desktop or Reader on your phone?

For several decades, I've owned & used various versions of Adobe's PDF products bearing names like Acrobat, Acrobat Pro, Acrobat DC, Acrobat Reader, etc., on my desktop & notebook computers and (after a mobile version became available) on my phones (both IOS & Android).  I'm pretty sure that, even today, the actual name of the mobile product remains "Acrobat Reader" (not just "Reader", as you imply). 

 

Admittedly, I'm - at best - an occasional, non-expert user of Acrobat on any platform.   So I tend to think of ALL of these products simply as "Acrobat" (plus, it's much shorter to type than "Acrobat xxxx").   I do, however, know there are differences based on platforms and, for that reason, I thought I had made it clear in my post that this issue was occurring while I was using Acrobat on my Android phone and that I was asking about how, where, & under what name "Android Acrobat" was saving an "exported" file on my Android phone.  But I do apologize if my post didn't make that distinction sufficiently clear for you.

Thanks!  I hadn't thought to try that! 

 

However, after opening the Google Photos app, I scrolled back through all those images until into July and didn't find it.  

 

But it was a great suggestion!
