  I'm reading academic papers in PDF format in Adobe Acrobat Reader. However, when I highlight text and save the document, Acrobat keeps asking me to re-choose the file, rather than just overwriting the existing document.
  
  It takes a lot of time every time I save, especially when I am using many papers. Is there a way to just have Adobe Reader automatically overwrite the file? Or is there some other solution?
