But you don't have to do it every time, just once with each document, then it remembers it forever more.

I find the advantage with the way Adobe has done this is that I usually DON'T want my pdf to have the same name as my ID document as my ID doc has to have a job number in it, and the pdf needs to be shortened for publishing on the web.

If you are creating a series of documents with similar names eg Doc1.pdf, Doc2.pdf etc, then do the first one with just Doc.pdf before you copy it, then you just have to hit Apple E (for export), right arrow, and 1, or 2. All done in seconds with just a couple of keyboard shortcuts and very little typing.

As Mark also points out in his last paragraph, if you go to export, it will take you to the same folder as your ID file by default, then you can highlight your ID doc, re-select that youwant it to be a pdf file, hit save – job done.

Hope this helps.
