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. Change the location to the folder you want and hit the Save button in the Finder window. 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. In PDFelement, if you have an unsaved PDF file that’s open, clicking File Save or the shortcut Cmd+S will always show you a Finder window where you can select the save location for that file. 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. I do not want to save any pdf files in this directory. (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. (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). It loads into Adobe Reader, and want to save the file. (1) I open a pdf file that I found on the web.

Here is a step by step for what happens in my workflow.
