Hello All. If this is not the best forum to ask this please point me in a
different direction.

I currently have word documents that I would like to convert to PDF and save
to a certain folder.

I have XPSP2 and Adobe 6.0 Standard.

I understand how to convert to PDF, but the default to save as a PDF goes to
My Document folder. Can I change that and have it point to a different
folder?

Under file locations I currently have any word documents going to a certain
folder but whenever I convert to PDF it defaults to My document folder and I
would like to change that?

Any Ideas?

Thanks for any assitance,

Thomas

Actully I have a correction to where it is actually saving the file. It will
to default to the folder location of where the orginal word document is
located.

Can that be changed?

Go to the Adobe PDF printer properties and select the Ports tab. Add a new
port and point it to whatever directory you want to use for saving your
pdfs.

Thanks RA that works if I print to PDF. However on my toolbar in Word I have
a convert to PDF that will still defaults too document folder location.

I guess if I can't figure out anther alternative perhaps will have to print
to PDF.

Any other ideas?

Sorry, I can't help with that because I never use the convert to pdf
feature. We do a lot of documents to pdf in our office and we have found
that we have more control over the result by printing to pdf instead of
converting.

Thanks for your input. I think we will take your advice because I'm having
no luck with the "convert to PDF".

From a search at Adobe

Solution 1: Remove Adobe PDF from the Disabled Items list in the
Microsoft Office application.

1. Open the Microsoft Office program (Word, Excel, Publisher, or Excel).

2. Go to Help > About [ program name ].

3. Click Disabled Items.

4. Select Adobe PDF from the list and click Enable.

5. Quit the Microsoft Office program and then restart it.
