Convert to PDF and default save

[Guest]

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.

no luck with the "convert to PDF".

How do you convert from words to pdf and save, not print?

How do you convert from words to pdf and save, not print?

Purchase a copy of Adobe Acrobat.

How do you convert from words to pdf and save, not print?

When you install Adobe Acrobat, it puts icons in your toolbar so that you
can just click and convert to pdf instead of going into file, print and
printing to pdf. Those icons can be removed.

Sorry, I thought the problem was with getting the converter to work. I
see the actual issue is the location the file will initially go, which
uses the Office setting or the Windows setting depending on the default
file handler.
