How do I tell the application that the default directory to use for created pdfs (specifically via the printer option) is the same directory as the source file?
I think it is already done this way, but the file folder is often not available because it is usually not sent via the printer interface.
There is regression in the newest releases! In exactly the same situation as earlier, it no longer saves to the source folder!
Hello,
the PDF printer only knows the folder of the original file if the program you print from sends the full file path as the document name of the print job. Many programs only send the file name, and then PDF24 cannot know the folder.
Where the save dialog opens:
- In the PDF24 Assistant (the window that opens after printing), "Save" opens in the folder of the original file if it is known. If "Fixed save directory" is set on the "Assistant" page of the settings, that folder is used instead. Otherwise the last used folder is used, or the desktop.
- If the printed document is opened in the PDF24 Creator, the folder from the print job is currently not used.
We could not find a change in this behavior in the recent versions. So that we can check your case, please tell us:
- From which program do you print?
- Which window opens after printing, the PDF24 Assistant or the PDF24 Creator?
- Which version worked as expected, and which version do you use now?
