Default save folder for PDFs opened from e-mail or downloads

[bobl52]

Hello,

I use PDF24 private, for my hobby and as a volunteer helping people with energy transition.
Even having set the default location to save a file received by mail or having downloaded from internet to my standard second drive for data storage, the presented download location keeps going to the c:/users/<myname>/documenten location (I am Dutch 🙂
Is this as designed, or is this a glitch in the software.
What I would like is that when I receive a PDF by mail or when I download a PDF file and PDF reader or creator opens it, that when wanting to save it, it goes to this by me in settings defined location.

I hope you can help,

Thanks,
Bob

Hello,

sorry for the late reply. The setting Fixed save directory (settings, page Assistant) only applies to the PDF24 Assistant, the window that opens after printing to the PDF24 printer. PDF24 Reader and PDF24 Creator do not use it:

• PDF24 Reader: Save as starts in the folder of the opened file. A setting for a fixed or the last used folder does not exist yet; it is on our to-do list.
• PDF24 Creator: saving starts in the folder of the file. For files from a temporary folder, such as e-mail attachments, Windows chooses the start folder. On the settings page Creator you can switch on Don't use the file's source folder when saving (use the last used folder instead), then the dialog does not start in the file's folder.
