changing "convert to adobe pdf" save location to current folder?

I had the same issue before. Acrobat by default usually saves the converted PDF in the same folder as the original file, but sometimes you need to adjust the “Save As” preference so it remembers the last location. There’s also a related discussion here:

Hi there,

Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out.

Having to reset the save location every time can be frustrating, especially when you'd prefer it to default to the original document's folder.

Currently, Adobe Acrobat does not offer a built-in setting to always save in the original document's location when using the right-click > Save As feature. By default, it tends to remember the last used folder.

That said, here are a couple of tips that might help:

1. Open in Acrobat first – If you open the file directly in Acrobat and then use File > Save As, it usually defaults to the original file location.

2. Use the “Save” option instead – If you're just making changes and want to overwrite the file, the standard Save (Ctrl + S or Cmd + S) will retain the original location.

Thanks
