Unable to save email PDF documents on my PC
Since installing the latest Thunderbird mail release, there is no option to save email PDF attachments. When I click on 'Save As', the two options 'File' and 'Template' are greyed out. With all previous versions of Thunderbird, a pop up was displayed showing the default where a PDF would be saved - I think this was Document Cloud. BUT the pop up allowed me to search for and select the folder and sub folder on my PC where I wanted to save the document - and this met my needs perfectly.
This issue relates not only to new emails with PDF attachments, but all PDF files attached to 'old' emails sent before I installed the latest version of Thunderbird.
The Operating System of my PC is Windows 8.1. I have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC version 21.007.20099 installed.
Now I have to open the appropriate email account in Outlook each time I receive an email with PDF attachment I want to save, which is time consuming and frustrating!

Thank you. I didn't do this before and the pop up appeared, but this solves my problem. Thank you.

The Save As option in your screenshot is and has always been for saving messages, not attachments. For attachments, you need to right-click the files in the attachment panel (at the bottom of the message).
