Go to the folder ~/Library/PDF Services. Place an alias there of the folder you want to save to. The name you give that folder is added to the Print dialog box PDF menu.

To find where the original is of an alias:

* select the alias in the Finder
* choose File menu – Get Info. The Info window appears.
* Look in the General section of the Get Info window. It tells you both where the alias is and where the original is.

Thank you. That helped significantly. Voodoo Pad and several other still have aliases there that replenish when I trash them. Any idea how I figure out where they point to or how to delete the wee beggars?

When I looked in the /Library and ~/Library folders I found a folder called PDF Services. Both of these contained items such as :

* Save PDF to folder as JPEG.workflow
* Save PDF to folder as TIFF.workflow
* Save PDF to iPhoto.workflow

I take no responsibility for what might happen – but I’d suggest removing the ones you don’t want from those folders and then maybe logging out or restarting.

Let us know what happens, if you do that.

I imagine if you have a named workflow somewhere you could add it through this menu.

I *do* know that sometimes when I’ve installed other software it has also added items to this PDF menu. For example, Evernote and Aperture have both added “Save to Evernote / Aperture” items.

that’s a bit of a puzzler. Is the folder you’ve selected one that *should* allow you to save (for example, your Documents folder). You didn’t accidentally select a folder on a CD or other medium you can’t write to?

Can you save other things to that same folder? For example, if you create a text fie and try to Save to that folder from the open text document’s File menu , does that work?

I was wondering if you know how to edit the save menu that appears when you click the PDF button? I followed the steps … edit menu, click the “+”, select the folder … the close button is the only option.

Thanks,
