Adobe Acrobat Question
When I click to open a PDF file, I get a yellow bar at the bottom which offers me 'OPEN', 'SAVE', and 'CANCEL' (see the attached file). The 'SAVE' option offers me a drop-down that allows me to 'SAVE', 'SAVE AS', or 'SAVE & OPEN'.
Currently, the default is 'SAVE'.
Does anyone know how to change the default so 'SAVE & OPEN' is the default for clicking the button and the other two remain "options"?
Looking forward to the replies.

In what program? Internet Explorer? Outlook? Firefox? Thunderbird? Include the version number. Thanks, Joe

Adobe Acrobat
What version?
ASKER
10.1.7
I also have 10.1.7 and do not see that dialog. When you said:
"When I click to open a PDF file..."
I asked what program and you said:
"Adobe Acrobat" (later to find out it is version 10.1.7)
When I do a file open in Acrobat 10.1.7, I get a browse-for-file dialog and when I click a PDF, it opens. Do you mean that you're clicking on a PDF file in Windows Explorer? Or Internet Explorer? I don't know how you can get the dialog that you posted in the screenshot when you're in Acrobat.

If I get an email with a PDF and I click to open it, I get that yellow box.
If I run a report in IE that renders a PDF, I get that yellow box.

OK. so you're not trying to open a PDF while in Acrobat...you're doing it in email and a browser.

What email client or webmail? Outlook (client)? Outlook (web)? Thunderbird (client)? Gmail (web)?

What version? IE9? IE10?

Let's go with the IE10 scenario. 10.0.9200.16686S.
> If I get an email with a PDF and I click to open it
What email client or webmail site? Outlook (client)? Outlook.com (web)? Thunderbird (client)? Gmail (web)?

Forget email....only talking about IE10 for now.
OK, so you're running a program (in IE10) that produces a PDF file called <Rpt_OBPrintInvoice.pdf>. The program is generating the dialog with the Open/Save/Cancel buttons, so that program would have to provide you with an option to change the default action when clicking Save. What program is creating the report?
ASKER
It's a home grown application, but the OPEN, SAVE, CANCEL bar is an Adobe bar or an IE bar.....definitely not a bar that the app renders.

I agree with GaryC123's last post. Sometimes the "answer" is that something cannot be done. In this case, I think there is "enough useful information" to say that, as shown in the following posts:

Split is appropriate, but I concur with objection to delete as this question comes up often enough and 'Cannot be done' is the only valid answer.
