There's a toolbar button for "Save" (i.e. overwrite to the current location) but I don't know of any software that has a system toolbar button for "Save As.."

In terms of the need to open a submenu for Save As > PDF, that's something which has been highlighted by a number of users. You'll have to see what the future brings.

Assuming ouzelkat has Acrobat X, there's no option to add a system area toolbar icon any more - only a button in the Tools Pane which can then be dragged to the Quick Tools area.

You can add anything to  the quick access bar in Office that has a keyboard shortcut or a menu entry, but 'Save As' is not part of the system toolbar. Acrobat's system toolbars are fixed for a reason, and we've explained that you could add Save As to Acrobat's Quick Tools area if you wanted to.

ouzelkat was looking for Save As > PDF because it allows you to change the filename before writing to disk, whereas Save writes to the current location. It's not about changing the filetype, and the only documents created or opened inside Acrobat are PDFs or Portfolios.

The menus in Acrobat X are different from the menus in Acrobat 9,8,7,etc. and so you may surmise that the next version will be different again. That's all I'm saying on the subject.

You're just not looking hard enough - perhaps you know a software package called Microsoft Office? Even my oldest version (2003) has a Save As toolbar button (granted, it isn't a cute little icon, just the words, but it works)  Go to Tools> Customize. Select File on the left and scroll the right window to find Save as. Click and drag to your toolbar.

Here's some barebones code to add a Save As toolbar button. It goes in a folder-level JavaScript file that you have to create and install properly:

var mySave2 = app.trustedFunction(function(doc) {

    app.beginPriv();

    var oFS = app.browseForDoc({bSave: true, cFilenameInit: doc.documentFileName, cWindowTitle: "Save As"})

    if (oFS) {

        doc.saveAs({cPath: oFS.cPath});

    }

    app.endPriv();

});

app.addToolButton(

{

    cName: "ToolbarSaveAs2",

    cLabel: "Save As",

    cExec: "mySave2(this);",

    cEnable: "event.rc = app.doc;"

});

As Dave mentioned, in Acrobat 10 you'll have to add the new button from "Tools > Add-on Tools" to the Quick Tools toolbar by right-clicking it and selecting "Add to Quick Tools Toolbar".
