Check Tools | Options | General tab. Ensure the Save files to... path is where you want it (desktop, a downloads folder, my documents, etc.).

You mean when you open a PDF document in Firefox, it opens in Foxit and is saved in the temp folder? That's the way it's supposed to work, since that PDF is technically a temporary file. If you want it saved somewhere else, save it in Foxit. If you are trying to save the file to a specific location (and not open it) right click and choose Save link As.

Re: [H] Really foggy here.
Thane, Well NO. It is NOT so much an OPEN business; though NOW IT IS. Never was, til now (Foxit V4, I suspect). Foxit always popped up and opened whatever online PDF. And I could SAVE TO, PRINT, or whatever. This may suck. I have already updated all of my LAN clients to V4 Foxit! This addy really likes Foxit! NOW, I get a non-visible window that I have no idea what just took place, and I am done. But, I also suspect what/where the PDF went. XP seems to not like Foxit alot. JMHO. Yes, I do find IT/them. IT/Them end up RIGHT where I wish to change. I suspect USER stupid. JMHO. You always ask good questions. BTW, Save Link As rarely if ever pops up or works! Perhaps another XP switch. Just do not know. Still happy with XP. It is very solid! Best, Duncan On 07/14/2010 13:22, Thane Sherrington wrote: At 02:11 PM 14/07/2010, DSinc wrote: I use XP pro. Sorry!

Re: [H] Really foggy here.
The path is in Firefox's options. Note, though that as Thane noted that you're seeing correct behaviour if you choose to open the PDF document instead of saving it to disk. It's considered ephemeral then, and won't be saved to your chosen location. You can choose to save it as from within Foxit, or save it to disk and then open it from the downloads window.

Re: [H] Really foggy here.
Jaime, I did convert most of my client's SAVE locations. Not done yet. Yes, [saving to disk?], is what my original rant was about. I DO care for where XP chooses to PUT my stuff. I guess I expect XP to over-ride other choices. I am still learning that this may not be true. OK. I learn, or, I fail! I do not see this as ephemeral at all. I choose not to go there. Not psychological. I think this is a simple 1's/0's issue. And, My Bad. I think I have now focused my clients a bit more locally. I will watch their behavior.
