Default save location in Adobe Reader XI

[Guest]

Hello, I use Adobe Reader XI very frequently at my job. I save a lot of PDFs that are sent via email (Outlook desktop client). However, Adobe Reader XI's default save location is in my temporary files. Every single time I save a PDF - and I can get up to 100 a day - I have to go search for the folder I want to save them in. Is there any way at all to change the default save location so it's not in my temporary files? It's incredibly annoying and wastes a lot of my time.

Things I have tried:

• Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced) > Add Folder Path
• Edit > Preferences > General > Uncheck "Show online storage while saving files" box (It wasn't there)
• Edit > Preferences > Documents > Uncheck "Automatically save document changes to temporary file every _ minutes"

I have searched through the Adobe forums and found many people with similar questions and none with no definite answer. Does anyone know how to fix this? Adobe doesn't seem to care very much.

Outlook is not a web browser.

Being able to set the default folder for "save as" in Acrobot Reader itself would be a big help. I also don't have Adobe PDF printer (we use Microsoft "Print to PDF") and can't use that solution.

The behavior of always wanting to save in C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Outlook\4CO3AOXF or similar

ist just so incredibly annoying that I can hardly believe Adobe has it as the default.

Looks like that this is the default of Outlook.

Greetings from the year 2023!

This is a recurring problem, which developed on my Acrobat Pro DC subscription about 3 weeks ago. It must have changed during a recent update What a waste of time!

My IT person figured out the solution:

Edit/Preferences/Categories: General/Basic Tools: Check the box “Show online storage when saving files”

Not happy that Adobe outsources its responsibility for Tech Support to users. Where are Adobe-employed Acrobat specialists doing their job???

Relatedly, Adobe needs to learn the KISS (keep it simple stupid) rule when it comes to programming.  Try to open a PDF fill in and save it.  Control + S works everywhere else, but in Adobe, you have to click at least three times JUST TO SAVE THE DOCUMENT YOU'RE WORKING ON. 

So annoying.  KISS

Isn't this an Outlook function?  I save lots of docs - it's kind of easy for me...
