Setting Adobe Reader 9 save as default directory

[frakenhelpme]

I use vista 64. When in IE I go to save a pdf file to my hard drive, it automatically sets my desktop as the dir to save in. How can I change this? It doesn't seem to remember the directory I last changed to to save a pdf file in.... just keeps going back to desktop over and over. So I have to reselect the directory every time I want to save as a pdf to my hard drive (i've been copy/pasting but it seems like it should remember the last directory I chose). Other files saved in IE seem to be remembered; not sure why the adobe reader 9 is having a problem remembering the last directory I saved to.

Are you saving from the Browser or from Adobe Reader (Helper Application)? See if changing the Preferences changes the behavior.

See "Solution 4: Configure the browser to use Acrobat or Adobe Reader as a helper application."

Error: "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a web browser..." when you view a PDF file in a browser

I am using Acrobat Reader 9 in IE browser as (I guess) a helper program. It displays fine.

In Windows 7 I have opened a link to a pdf file in IE 8 and when I save the file via the "Save As" option it defaults to wanting save it on my Desktop also.

I guess this means that you have browse to your desired folder every time?

I guess ya cannot change the default save as directory. Bummer. Not a big deal but irritating.
