Save As With Default File Name

“When I use ‘Save As’ in Adobe, how can I get it to go to the last folder I saved to so I don’t have to click through a bunch of folders each time?”

When I started www.pdfautomationstation.com this question came up often in the Acrobat User Forum. The answer I read was always “You can't”. I didn’t like that answer so I did some research and developed my own custom submenu item called Save As… (Remember Folder) under the same main menu item (File) as Save As.

That was the very first download on my website. It was free. It's still available and it's still free. (NOTE: Some free downloads require a free membership in order to agree to the license before downloading.)
