Is there a preference to set so PDFs are not saved to Acrobat Online?

Report · Nov 17, 2012

I just installed Acrobat XI. I created a PDF but it didn't show up. I tried saving again and noticed a button that said it would be automatically saved to my online account. The other selection is to create a new account. I want to save my PDFs on my desktop. I don't want them online. I checked through the preferences and could not find a setting for where PDF files are saved to. How do I turn that feature off?

I tried going to this online account to find my PDF and can't find it. I got sent in a lot of circles. Where did it go to?

That's odd that you're saving directly to Acrobat.com at PDF creation. Please see our FAQ: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2644

It sounds like the PDF files are getting saved locally and then perhaps you're uploading them?

I'd like to help!

No, the file didn't get stored locally. That is why I came here to find out where it went to. I clicked to save the PDF and was presented with a window that had only two selections: automatically saved to my online account / create a new account. I didn't want to do either one, and there is no Cancel button. I don't have an online account and I did not want to create one. So I clicked the only other possible selection. Nothing saved to my desktop or any other folder. Since I don't have an online account, where do saved PDFs go to?

How were you creating your PDF files? Could you share the specific steps you were taking? It'll help me narrow down the possibilities.

Also, what OS are you running?
