How do I create an unspecified file path

I need to copy file.pdf to the AppData folder in my Winforms app but since this will be used by many people I need to have a generic path that finds 

iFile.CopyTo("somethinghere...//AppData//Temp//file.pdf");

and copy the said file.

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) will get the appdata folder for the current user.

If you want a single copy of your PDF for all users, use Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData) instead.
