    I have a PDF Form saved from Acrobat DC ("pro") on MAC, then moved to a PC that has Adobe Reader DC. When i open and modify the form in Reader DC and click the Save button, the Save As dialog comes up, forcing the choice of a location and replacing the original -- which runs a great risk of picking the wrong location and causing duplication of files.

    I have tried both the default form and saving it from Acrobat DC as Reader-Enabled, with the same results either way. Why won't the Save button just save the document instead of bringing up the Save As dialog?

    Note that if I CLOSE the updated form, it will ask me if I want to save the file and it will simply save it (no Save As dialog). But the Save button does not behave that way, nor does File > Save command (it also acts like Save As).
