| Save a Copy of a Downloaded PDF SUMMARY: Create backup copies of PDF files downloaded from the Internet with Adobe Reader 7.
When using Adobe Reader 7 to view PDF files linked from a webpage, you may find it desirable to save a copy of the file for future reference. Perhaps you currently don't have time to read the full file. Also, you may wish to pass the file on to a coworker or family member.
When Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or other web browsers launch Adobe Reader 7, they normally place the PDF file in a temporary download directory. Not only does this make it hard to later find the downloaded file, but since the file is in a temporary directory, it may later disappear.
You can save a backup copy of most PDF files to another location on your hard drive, network, or removable media, making it easier to later access its contents.
1. Load the desired PDF file into Adobe Reader 7.
2. Select "File" - "Save a Copy".
3. Click "OK" if prompted that you cannot save changes to the document.
4. When the "Save a Copy" dialog box appears, navigate your hard drive / network / media to where you want to save the file.
5. Give your PDF file a new name or use its original filename.
6. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.
