Thanks for your interest in refining what the problem is. This saves the user a step, which as it is now must be repeated over and over in sessions when many pdfs are beng saved from the web. Earlier versions of Reader provided both of those choices as seperate lines on the File menu. In addition, the need for an additional click in step 3, to choose whether to save a pdf as text or a pdf is ridiculous. Earlier versions of Reader used a user's pre-set download folder preference as the default, and remembered the last folder used during a session if the user made a save to a different folder. If a user is in a hurry inadvertently saves there, the file will be lost when the browser is closed. The fact that Reader consistently wants to save to a browser's TEMPORARY directory as the default choice is a huge problem. Adobe Reader does not remember what directory I have used for downloads, nor does it have a Preferences choice to set one or more user-specified preferred download directories. Then a few minutes later when I want to save another pdf file that I found on the web, I have to go through all of these steps again. (5) I click the favorite folders button on that directory display, pick my usual downloads folder, and then click the Save button. The icons are even in the same order, just vertical rather than horizontal: Default Folder settings, Drives, Favorites, and Recent. I do not want to save any pdf files in this directory. That option isnt available in OS X, so Default Folder X uses a tab to the right of the Save/Open dialogue. (4) The screen then displays the Temporary Downloads directory of my web browser (my browser is Opera). Reader gives me a menu choice of PDF or Text, and I click PDF. On University computers running the Windows operating system, documents do not automatically save to your H: network drive. (3) In Adobe Reader I click File | Save As. (2) I always save such files in the same folder (the folder is not My Documents, but this fact is not of consequence, as you wll see). Adobe’s auto-update mechanism relaunches applications after updating them, and circumvents the system’s launch notifications so Default Folder X doesn’t see the relaunch. It loads into Adobe Reader, and want to save the file. First, please try quitting and relaunching Photoshop. (1) I open a pdf file that I found on the web. The Mac Finder includes several shortcuts and features for navigating to recently opened files and folders, but if you still find yourself clicking through folder hierarchies or remembering where you saved files, you might want to download a free trial of Default Folder X (34.95). Here is a step by step for what happens in my workflow. Default Folder X stopped working if they happen to upgrade before updating to a compatible version of DFX. This screencast gives you an overview of Default Folder Xs features, showing its enhancements to your Open and Save dialogs, as well as ways to speed up you.
