Can I set all pdf files to be available offline at once?

I have a user that has a small hard drive, to save space has most dropbox files online only, but have issues where he tries to open a pdf with adobe acrobat and gets an error, when he marks the pdf as make available offline he is able to open fine. So the question is: is there a way to make it so all pdf's are marked as make available offline all at once( have as a default) so that the user does not have to do this for each pdf file Individually.

Thanks

Regards,

Eric

    Unfortunately there isnt. It is set per folder and there isn't a way to alter this :( 

    Sorry

    theCollaborative could you post more info about the error? Maybe a screenshot or the error text?
