thanks shane
I don't think that will work for me as I'm not really "printing" pdf's as you would in most other applications I am using the pdf export feature, and this is happening across the board not just exporting pdf's its saving / save as
if you creat a file save it in a folder then wanted to save a copy of it you would "save as" usualy it would default to save the file over the one you just created as it would be going to save in the same folder - mine is constantly defaulting back to the "documents" folder
AAAARRRGH!
