You are looking in the wrong place! At the top of displayed PDF is a bar  
mostly in white on the right hand side you should see a number of little 
icons, and the save button is the one to the right of the Print button. 
hover over it with your mouse and it tell you.

I can send a screen shot to you by email if it helps.

Did you restart Iris for the change to take effect and did you remember to 
'Save' the change.

As an aside, I noticed from your email headers you are still on RISC OS 
5.23 that is now pretty old now, 5.30/5.31 are current versions.

Also Messanger Pro is now on v9.03
