Disable / clear file Save As history

Jul 17, 2009 3:19 PM

Hello,

I've saved numerous PDF using similar file name except for minor change (i.e. date).

In the Save As dialog:

Initially entering the first character of a filename will bring up a short history of filename that I've used before.

I'd like to disable this but don't know how?

In other word, I'd like to see no dropdown when typing in a file name.

I'm using Acrobat 9 Standard.

Thanks,

Devin

This is not an Acrobat feature but a Windows feature. You didn't say which version of Windows you're running, but I would suggest looking for Microsoft's PowerToys for your version and then install it and run Tweak UI. In there you can customize many settings, including this (for Windows XP it's under Common Dialogs, Remember previously used file-names).

Sorry I'm using Vista.

Since there's no official TweakUI for Vista yet, I'm running TweakUI for XP in compatibility mode.

I've located the option "Remember previously used file names" but whenever I try to save the file, the application unexpectedly quit.

See link:

The posted solution didn't seem to help.

Either it is auto-complete or remember previous file-name that is somewhat interferring me from using Texter, a freeware text-replacer software, properly.

Any idea?

Thanks.
