Converting to pdf from a Word 2003 Preview -save to default

Jun 15, 2011 8:43PM PDT

When I open a word document in Preview and go to convert it to a PDF
Adobe PDF (Convert to adobe pdf) it automaticlly says "save in - Temp folder. I want this to automatically save in "a dedicated folder" which I have set up. Can I do this. Where do I look for the setting to change the default Temp folder

Is it just PDF files

or all other Word.doc files?

If it is just PDF then I am not sure, but for all Word files you can find the defaults in Tools > Options. I can't tell you where about in Options because I'm not on my computer that has Word on it at the moment, but it is there somewhere.

Unfortunately no it is not working - I found that option earlier and changed it. I wonder does it have anything to do with the Preview which comes up as a .rtf file as opposed to .doc ?? Or is it anything to do with it being a word document in Microsoft Office as opposed to a stand alone Word

official Adobe product? Then check the Adobe site (Support options like FAQ and knowledge base) or contact their support. After all, Adobe Acrobat is a paid program that comes with support.
