Question

Save as Adobe PDF

I've noticed this question has been asked many times, but I haven't found a clear solution.

On my previous laptop, I used the "Save as Adobe PDF" feature in Word, and it always saved the PDF file in the same folder as the Word document. However, on my new laptop, the feature always defaults to the last folder I used to save a PDF, rather than the current document's folder.

I have a paid Creative Cloud subscription on both laptops. The only difference is that the old laptop runs Windows 10, while the new one runs Windows 11.

Hi @joukog49801059

 

Thanks for reaching out. 
This feature is mainly driven by OS settings, and Acrobat doesn't play any part in changing the destination settings. Here is a similar discussion where a few suggestions are being discussed: https://adobe.ly/4gIo2dv

 

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Hi Tariq

I have searched this problem from many places and the conclusion has been that it is not OS problem but Adobe acrobat issue. "Save a copy" and selecting .pdf works well, but when i'm selecting "Save as Adobe Pdf", it always selects the last folder i have used to "Save as Adobe Pdf".
