Save the PDF file in the same folder as the original file

[akumetsu]

Good day friends!
Is it possible using pdf24 to print a PDF-file in folder of original file directory? Can I configure some macros (or something else) or this function was included in PDF24?

When you use the auto save feature of the printer, then you have to configure a folder where files gets stored. There is no way to specify to save in the folder the original file is saved. This information is often not available when the file gets printed on the PDF printer.

it is the only function that doesn't provide the destination. Even though very often it is saved in the the same path of the document to be printed.

For all the other functions it is useful to save it in the same path and sometimes overwrite the original document: exemple signing, editing, .....

[PDF24 Support]

Hello,

the PDF printer only knows the folder of the original file if the program you print from sends the full file path with the print job. Many programs only send the file name. If the path is sent, "Save" in the PDF24 Assistant (the window after printing) opens in the folder of the original file, unless a "Fixed save directory" is set on the "Assistant" page of the settings. Automatic saving of the PDF printer always uses the folder set there.

For the tools of the PDF24 Toolbox such as "Sign PDF" or "Edit PDF", the save dialog currently opens in the folder used last. With the next version it suggests the folder of the original file.
