Acrobat asking where to save a file EVERY TIME

[jone63484828]

This has been bugging me for ages and I haven't ever found a fix.

Why is it that when I open an existing PDF, edit that PDF, and then click save, it ALWAYS asks me where to save it? I just want to override the previous file. 99.999999% of all products I use where I open an existing document, then click save, it automatically saves it to the same location I previously had the document saved to, and it doesn't require me to go in and select where I want to save it.

It makes no sense to me and drives me insane that when I make one small adjustment, I can't just click save and be done with it.

This is so ridiculous (as is most of Adobe pdf, the most cumbersome program I've ever had the pleasure of using).  Why is there a threat of lack of protection in a global sense for changing one simple feature that is available, as the original poster says, in 99.9999999% of programs?  And buried obscurely in the Preferences section.  What an utter pain.

Totally agree. This feature is designed against humanity.

So just to clarify--for ctrl+s to work the way it works in all other software, I have to disable Adobe Reader's primary security feature. That doesn't really sound like a solution, it sounds like there's still a gaping problem with the way things work.

When I turn off Enable Enhanced Security, it just turns it back on. I don't know how adobe ever got the pdf format embedded in the PC world but it totally sucks! It is a resource HOG and the software engineers must have come from Mars!

Just dicovered this same issue. The answer was that it is designed to do this. My question is, if this is a security feature, why don't other Adobe products behave the csame way?
