Every time I open a PDF form online or as an attachment, it automatically saves a copy of it on my hard drive. How can this be stopped?! I am running Chrome and have Adobe Reader DC installed on my laptop.

In order for a PDF file to be displayed it must first be saved on the local computer. That can't be avoided.
What sometimes happens is that the browser saves the file into a temporary folder and then opens it automatically, so you're not prompted to save it in a specific folder. That depends on the settings of each browser.

If there is no way to change it, can I change which folder it adds a copy in? I don't like that it it making a copy in my Documents folder.

Probably, but again, this is a setting of the browser you're using.
