# Saving files using relative paths

The location for each published file type can be set in the *Output folde*r field.

Different settings are possible, see below.

1. The *Output folder* field is empty (`<empty>`).
   * Files are published to default subdirectories based on the published file type, next to the original files.
2. The *Output folder* is fixed by a user (e.g., `C:\PDF`).
   * Files are published into the specified directory.
3. The *Output folder* = `.\`
   * Files are published in the same directory as the original (source) file.
4. The *Output folder* = `.\DIRECTORYNAME`
   * Files are published in a directory relative to the original (source) file.
5. The *Output folder* = `..\`
   * Files are published in a parent directory relative to the original (source) file.
6. The *Output folder* = `..\DIRECTORYNAME`
   * Files are published in the subdirectory of the parent directory relative to the original (source) file.
