    Print to PDF destination file

    how do you change the destination of the Print to PDF ? I know it defaults to the documents folder, but I want to change the destination to a easier location.

    Can it be done or is it another "wish list" for future updates?

    The Save Print Output As window opens:

    Name the File

    Navigate to and open the folder where the file is to be saved

    Click Save

    My observation is that the PDF is printer more rapidly and reliably than using Adobe Acrobat
