Not able create a new folder using windows 8 reader App

Hi Aaron,

 

Thank you for posting the question on Microsoft Community.

 

Based on the description provided, it looks like you want to know if a PDF file can be viewed in reader app and you are not able to create a folder when saving a file in Windows 8.

 

It is not possible to create a new folder while saving as using Reader app in Windows 8 as this is by design.

Hi,

My comment is intended to point out the need for this feature, not to answer directly or indirectly the question. It's very important so please don't overlook and maybe sometime soon this feature can be serviced.

Windows 8 is by-far, leagues ahead of my former expectations! However major productivity interruptions have arisen due to the lack of in-app,  File Explorer advanced functionality features (such as creating new folders while navigating in-app, etc).

Compared with prior Windows releases this is a minor issue. But from a business perspective it is essential to maintain organization quickly and accurately. Although this feature is an over-all minor limitation some attention should be paid to integrating a more fluid in-app workflow.

My aim is to be proactive and to reach for solutions with in-app productivity. I cannot do so myself but by becoming involved within the Microsoft community we can all help to make the issues more clear both to users and developers. I hope Reader among other Windows 8 apps get the File Explorer integration soon because it's a necessary tool in maintaining workflow productivity.

Hi Ravinath,

Lack of this function makes it very difficult to work with this program. If this is by design, it is a very poor design. Microsoft should address this issue.

Hi Nik,

No, Ravinath, this does not help. You can't create a new folder using ANY app; what reason would Microsoft have for designing it this way? It makes saving files a task that takes much longer than it should. 

It is very unusual that Microsoft have apparently omitted this obvious functionality.

 

Just install Adobe Reader:

Hi Ravinath,

I agree with Ethan. In fact, I think he's being very mild about the issue. This is an inconvenience I run into almost every day using my Windows 8 PC. I would be surprised if the people in charge of this part of Windows 8 actually use the operating system on a daily basis.
