I am using Acrobat Pro DC

For some reason Acrobat saves my signed files online in an Adobe cloud solution. I can later download a copy.

I need to be able to ONLY save it locally on my machine. No online copyes.

I can't fine anywhere where I can write a default path for saving documents.

Help will be greatly appreceated.

    Hi there

     

    Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described, you need to be able to only save signed PDF locally on your machine and no online copies.

     

    - Would you mind sharing the steps you are doing to sign  and save the PDF files?

     

    Please try the following preference setting and see if that works for you. Go to Edit (Windows), Adobe Acrobat (Mac) > Preferences > General > Uncheck 'Show online storage when saving the files' > Click OK and reboot the computer once and see if that helps.

     

    We are here for help, just need more information.

     

    Regards

    Amal

    Hi Amal

    Thanks for your reply. I think it worked partly.

    I am using the windows version and when I sign I just click the pen icon to sign. (I have my signature uploaded).

    Now it saves the file locally but if I want to save a non-edital version then it seams that I have to save it online first.

    Is there a way to save a non-edital version locally?

    Hi Pete,

     

    We are sorry to hear that. When you save the PDF file as read only it gets certified by Adobe Sign (A Document Cloud Service).

    You may simply save the PDF on your computer from the File menu after applying the signature, it saves the file  your computer. You may then password protect the PDF to make it non editable.

    For more information about applying the password protection please check the help page - https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/securing-pdfs-passwords.html

     

    Hope it will help

     

    Regards

    Amal
