Rather than using the Save As... command, try using Save A Copy... (also under the File menu). This will let you save a copy of the file while keeping the current version open.

I have searched the Knowledgebase, but am not asking the key words, apparently. I do NOT want AI to replace the Native file with the PDF on my SCREEN, so I can keep working. ( I am working on quick style changes in the document, making 4-5 versions, and I forgot to manually close out the pdf and get back to the native file-grrrr). I know I an turn that feature off somewhere in the Preferences of other programs, but I can't find it in AI, and am in need of what one would call that command. Thanks! Very much appreciated.
