When I save a document, or a page from a document, the new PDF opens in a new tab. How do I make it quit doing this? I don't want it to open up! I just want to save it.
So this doesn't happen when you just save a document?
What steps do you follow to save just one or two pages? All the steps I can think of create a new document, but there are many ways to work in Acrobat. Which version, by the way?
It does happen when I save a document, say a Word document. To save one or two pages, I use the print function, but choose "Adobe PDF" as the "printer." I realize it creates a new document, which is fine. I just don't need this new document to open up. I have Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.
Ah, so it's just doing the normal thing. This may be an option in the PDF printer setup. You can also extract pages in Acrobat (Organize Pages tool) but this also makes a new document that you need to save. Note that you get a MUCH better PDF if you use the Acrobat ribbon in Word, compared to printing to PDF.
That's a little complicated for me. I'm not that familiar with Acrobat and ribbons and all that. I just need to save something as a PDF and NOT have it open again! It's very irritating. I don't know why it does this, when you don't necessarily need the new document to open.
