Changing default search folder

Currently, my default search folder is My Documents. Is it possible to setup a different search folder automatically for all my PDF files? Perhaps a script?

What do you mean by "search folder"?

When I open a Serach panel in Reader, under the heading "Where would you like to search?", there is an option called "All PDF Documents in" and the box below it always says My Documents.

I would like to change the 'My Documents" location to my custom location.

I don't think you can change it. But you can place a shortcut to that folder in My Documents.

Thanks. I guess I will have to train my users how to select the correct folder.
