When save PDFs, always does "Save As." help please!

Hi, I recently downloaded Adobe Reader XI. For PDFs that are already saved to my computer, whenever I comment on them (add text) and click Save, Adobe Reader always interprets that as "Save As" for the file and wants me to give it a name even though it already has one. When I give it the name it already has, Adobe Reader asks me if I want to replace the existing file. Does anyone know how to change this?? This is the case each time the PDF has been commented on. It is so very annoying. There aren't protections or locks on the PDFs that I 'm aware of. Thanks!

This is why everyone in the market runs to third-party PDF viewers... issues like this.

Adobe must be the ONLY company where SAVE and SAVE AS is the same function - why TF should I turn off "Enable Protected Mode" for the SAVE button to work like a SAVE button. No wonder people will find ANY other way of viewing PDFs than in fact using Adobe. Wake up Adobe and fix the stupid SAVE button - why the hell will anyone use "Enable protected mode?"??? brain dead.
