Save As PDF dialog menu UX design suggestion

Hey Adobe, I just wanted to note that your "save as" dialog menu in Acrobat (Windows edition) looks counterintuitive, especially the location of "Choose a different folder" button. I've never seen such a menu structure ever. Normally Windows Explorer has a similar thing on the top of the menu. It's a good idea to have a list of recent folders on a screen, but actually I need easy access to other folders on my computer. And it would be great to make this menu looks similar to Windows Explorer. At least I'd place the folder path somewhere at the top of the window (as seen on the screenshot).

The location of the "Choose a different folder" button is very counterintuitive now because normally it is a place for the submit button. I'd left the "Save" or "Ok" button there.

It would be great to improve this dialog box in future editions. Now I ought to spend more time to figure out how can I find a different folder because all other software I use have the standard "save as" dialog boxes.
