Question

Acrobat DC - how to set 'remember last saved file location'

Several people in our customer service department need to open batches of PDF docs and then save them into the same folder as the first one. The structure will change with each batch. If Acrobat would remember the first saved file location it would eliminate much clicking around.

I could not find any usable answers so far. Is there a solution now? - Thanks!

    they're not going to add it because adobe (like valve, like microsoft) is extremely complacent because it has a de facto monopoly on many types of file editor/viewer, one it ironically gained through promoting piracy the way nike promoted theft of its sneakers

      Come On! Get this done and get this into the program I spend a sh*%load of $$ on every month. in Word, you can at least set the default file location.

        How is this not a feature?  This was avaialbe in Wordperfect 5.1 30 years ago.  Come on Adobe please put this basic functionality in.

          Hi Monikarusso,

          Apologies for the delay in response, as stated above you want to set "remember the last saved file location" correct?

          Acrobat doesn't remember the last saved file location, unfortunately, there isn't much that can be done in this situation.

          You may refer to the similar discussions here -

            Unacceptable.  Pathetic.  Hire a high school student if you need to, to fix this issue.

              Adobe Pro 2020 user here.....

               

              I 10000000% agree with you! This is absurd! Makes no sense to me at all how they're saying its not possible to remember the last saved location when adobe had been remembering my last saved location for years....up until this week. Now all of a sudden every time I try to save a file, it defaults to some random temp folder and I have to manually go searching for the folder I actually need to save the document in. 

               

              It's maddening when you have to save 30 files to the same folder but have to go searching for it every single time. Literally last week that was not the case.......Get it together Adobe and fix this! Theres no reason why it can't be fixed!
