    I am new to the Mac OS so please excuse my ignorance.

    When I right-click on a PDF to download it and get the option to "download linked file' I can not seem to be able to change the name prior to saving. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Instead of downloading with the right-click/Control Click, let the file open into Acrobat Reader than do a Save As...

    It opens in its own webpage, not in Acrobat (I use Pro not reader) and I can't save it from there as anything but an html file. Any other thoughts..
