I’m wondering if there’s a way I can add a script to a button so it always directs it to a certain file path where they will need to save the pdf.

No,
You can read about saving a PDF from a script here:

Thanks, I'm not even really sure that's what I need. I would have thought it would be as simple as adding a link (Add Document Link), but it won't let me select a file path, only an actual file. I was hoping it would be similar to when I add a hyperlink in outlook, select the address of the file path and add the text to display. What's my best option to create a link to a file path in a PDF?

Specifically, I need a 'Save' button which will direct the user to the file path where they need to save it. Is there a simple option to achieve this, or will I need to apply a script to a button or something?

I also tried adding a button, selecting Action > Go to File. It won't let me select a file path there either, only a file.

Unfortunately creating an initial file path for the SaveAs dialog is not an option in Acrobat.

That's a shame. Good to know. Thanks!
