Cant save PDF after adding comments

Is it possible to save a PDF I have added comments to over the original file. The PDF I am currently commenting on is not read only but I get an error when I try save it over the original file.

I am working in Windows 7. The error I get states something along the lines of " File is currently in use and cant and cant be overwritten, If I enter another file name I can save the file. It could be a number of issues not relating to adobe reader but I am just wondering if Adobe reader allows you to save commented PDFs with the same name as the original document that was opened.

  • Saving after adding comments

    I either scan documents to PDF using Paperport program (came with printer) or have PDF's emailed to me from others.
    When I open PDF documents eg invoices, I often need to add comment/s and then save the PDF.
    Everytime I go to save after adding comments/sticky notes, Reader x makes me save either to a new location or change the name of the document- then I end up with 2 copies, original and commented. How do I change it to simply save/overwrite document in original location with same name?
    Windows 7 Home
    Mnay thanks if you can offer me some help.

  • Users are not able to save pdfs after editing - Adobe XI. They do not use the Win7 explorer preview pane.  If they completely close the Win7 explorer window, they can save - Adobe XI thinks the preview pane is open when it is not.

    Users are not able to save pdfs after editing.  Product is Adobe XI, OS is Win7 64-bit.  When saving, an error pops up that the file cannot be saved, it is in use.  If they save as a different name, it works.  Found several forums/blogs/etc that suggest the problem can be solved by closing the Window7 explorer preview pane.  They don't use the preview pane.  I figured out that if they completely close the explorer window, they can save.  But this means they have to open and close explorer for each file.

    Hi, I would like to chime in and say that this problem has not yet been resolved. It is extremely annoying when all I do is highlight a document in the file explorer and I get 5 errors (evenly spaced out about 20 seconds apart telling me that "Microsoft
    Word Cannot Start (24)". These errors persist even after windows explorer and word are closed. And I don't want to start terminating processes just to make them stop every time.
    I'm a little frustrated with this problem and the other problems I've encountered with MS Office 2013 with file corruption, crashing, 2010 compatibility issues, and the whole host of errors when trying to actually do WORK with Word.
    I do work with long, complex reports in Word because that's the best way available for myself (and my coworkers) to use. However, I sincerely regret upgrading to Office 2013 because of it. I love it, all of its features, and its interface, but I simply cannot
    use it without problems.

  • I recently loaded Mac OS X Snow Leopard and now cant save PDF files It ask me for my Owners password. Cant remember it

    I recently Loaded Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on my MacBook. Now I cant print or save PDF files. I am asked for my "Owners Password" I bought this mac new, 3 years ago and dont remember my Owners password only my admin. How can I fix this?
    Please Advise
    Rich

    That is your admin password. You might try this:
    To fix Home folder permissions
    Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder.  At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
    sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
    Press RETURN.  You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.
    I would also do this:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    And, consider downloading either Mac OS X v10.6.7 Update Combo or Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo and updating the system, but only after doing the above suggestions.

  • Re: Can't save PDF after 7.0.3 update

    My problem is that I cannot save my document to pdf using  cs5 presets as i was able to do in cs4.
    This is very disturbing as I just finished two newsletters, 40pages and 20 pages and cannot get them to my printer as pdfs.
    I tried opening them in cs4, but could not do so.
    It would be terrible to have to redo them.
    Help, please. I am on a Mac with an intel chip.

    I am using windows 7 64 bit and I have NO plugins or font manager This is a newer computer I have only had It for 3 months so I hav only installed Illustrator CS2 Photoshop CS2 and InDesign CS5 along with acrobat reader and At the time of attempting to create the PDF (after resrtart and trashing prefs) No other programs were actively running.

  • Cant save PDF as RTF due to file size

    Hello,
    I have bought the Adobe upgraded product to be able to convert the .PDF to .RTF format or .TXT format and when I log in or open document, I cannot send to acrobat, I cannot save to acrobat, and I cannot convert it to RTF either. It tells me the file is more than 100MB. Is there an alternate way to convert this file to RTF?

    Actually you are asking in the wrong user forum. Here you have "Adobe Reader"
    There is a dedicated user forum for the Acrobat.com online subscription services at: 
    https://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobatdotcom  
    As you speak of a 100 MB file size limit it is clear that you are not using the desktop application "Acrobat". 
    The 100 MB file size limit is specific to the online subscription services.
    When purchased and installed the desktop application "Acrobat" can split large PDFs to several smaller PDFs.
    However, Acrobat does not have a file size limit. Consequently, with the PDF open in Acrobat XI a File - Save As Other with a selection of RTF. 
    Be well...

  • Itunes connect, cannot save app after adding a build

    Hi all,
    Currently my app status is "Prepare for Submission". Yesterday I added the first build to my app. I can see the build in "prerelease". So I add the build to my app page and click "save". But save always fail with following messages.
    There was an error saving changes. Please try again later or contact App Store Developer Support.
    Can you please help me and explain what the problem is? I can modify other text descriptions and that saved ok.
    Thank you very much.

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, disabling the file preview works. I was crossing my fingers there was some setting I could have changed in the Acrobat preferences.

  • Barcode Font not available in PDF after adding to Font Management

    Hello CF experts,
    I need to use a barcode font in a PDF document. I installed
    the font in Font Management, but nothing happens when I attempt to
    use it. I've tried to use it both in and out of PDF's, and it
    doesn't work either way. It does work in normal HTML code if the
    local machine has the font installed, but this isn't very helpful,
    as I need it to be served up from the Server with fontembed for PDF
    usage.
    Here is what the Font Manager shows:
    User Defined Fonts
    Actions Font Family Font Face Font Type Useable In Path
    IDAutomationHC39M IDAutomationHC39M TRUETYPE PDF/FlashPaper
    /var/www/html/MM/IDAutomationHC39M_Free.ttf
    I've tried using it in <font> tags, CSS Styles, etc,
    and nothing works.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hey SafariTECH,
    The Server is the source for any fonts used? This hasn't been
    my experience at all. Web pages don't embed fonts, but rely on the
    clients PC having the requested font face installed.
    My problem is that I have a unique need for a Barcode font to
    be available to clients without having to run around and install it
    locally. In concept I should be able to embed the font in
    Flashpaper or a PDF and bypass the need to make the font available
    on each client's PC.
    Is anyone successfully using the PDF "Font Embed" feature
    this way using fonts installed in the Font Manager?
    Is there any easy way to tell if the font's installed in Font
    Manager are actually working and/or available?
    Thanks-

  • During adding comments PDF got corrupt.

    We have given the PDF to our client created using Export option of Indesign CS5 after that we make them comment enable using Adobe acrobat 9 pro software.
    Our client freelancer used Adobe Reader XI (11.0.07) which was updated on 22/05/14 to give comments on that PDF.
    Once again our client wants to add some more comments in the PDF using Adobe acrobat 9 pro. But during this the file got corrupt. Below is the statement given by them.
    "I received the proofread corrections back from the proofreader last week but there were still a few extra corrections to mark on. However when I attempt to mark these extra corrections on the proofs myself and then save it, the pdf immediately becomes corrupt and unreadable. IT were unable to solve the issue but they said that it might be some sort of font error. Could you look into this to see if this is an issue. It might simply be the case that it is a very large file and so it has become corrupt for that reason. I’ve never had this happen before on one of my files though, could you let me know if you have heard of it happening or if you know of any reason why this might happen?"
    We are also trying the same process at our end but there is no such problem face by us. We even try to add the comment in the PDF worked by freelance using Adobe reader XI but everything goes fine.
    We are able to add comment in Adobe acrobat 9 Pro and no file corrupt issue face by us. Is it possible for you to let us know the reason of such problem at our client end. Size of PDF is 178 MB.
    Even in acrobat reader XI we dont face any problem in adding comments.
    Is anyone let me know why our client is facing this type of problem.

    Linda, I'm wondering if there's some "conflict" being triggered because you're using both Win 7 and WinXP --
    Specifically, I wonder if the two systems have off-kilter time stamps, and that's why FM is giving the "newer creation date" problem.
    I don't quite understand what role the XP system has in your test, though -- can you not just use FM == and == make the PDF on the same Win7 box, make the comment on that box, then import the comments?
    Understandably you will probably eventually need to be able to import comments from all sorts of other systems, but for troubleshooting could you try making the full create-comment-import cycle on the Win7 box only?
    If that does work, then you might see of you can set the system time on the XP box to be somewhat slower than the Win7 box, and re-try with the XP box in the mix.
    Edit: changing the system time clock is suggested only as a testing procedure, to see if we can isolate the exact cause, I'm not suggesting that in order to work reliably all your reviewers would need to synchronize their systems :-)

  • Allow user to fill in a fillable pdf but disallow adding comments and annotation

    Hi there.  I have a fillable pdf created by livecycle designer.  I want to let users fill in the form but prevant them adding comments and annotatons to the form.  I cannot reset the above requirements in form property - form security if I have already set a password and allowed user to fill in the form.  Can I user javascript to that effect during the document loading?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    If you save the form as a Dynamic XML Form in the save-as dialogue, then the user will not be able to apply comments. They can only do this in flat or static PDF forms.

  • Cant save as AI but can as PDF

    Using PC Windows XP Service Pack 3; CS5 Illustrator 15.1.0, 2gb Ram, 50gb Free HD space.
    Opening an AI file sent from Japan, not sure of its PC or MAC (is there a way to find out).
    All fonts are as outlines, images embedded.
    After making a few simple changes (to the artboard, and turning off a layer with crops on) we find we then cant save the AI file, error along the lines of 'saving encountered a problem' we can replicate and post that error if needs be.
    We are also trying to place a .PSD file whilst the original is in AI format, but we get memory errors, our Memory and available HD space all check out OK in Windows Task Manager as OK.
    The workaround has been to save as a PDF, checking the 'Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities' in the Options dialogue - the file then saves and allows us to then work away as normal, saving at the end.
    I also want to know if an 'Illustrator editable' PDF, with JPEG compression turned on for Images, do the images degrade (ie are read in, sampled and JPEG compressed) each time a PDF is opened and resaved.

    1)Run the action called "Delete Unused Items"
    2) Selct all, copy and paste into a new document
    3) save as with PDF compatible off
    Whether the image degrades depends on the settings of the PDF. Obviously if you go form high to low quality, they will degrade. Even if you save with the same compression level the image degrades.That amount is very small at max quality and you won't even notice the difference. Do for example 50 saves at low quality and you will notice a difference in images between original and final. The amount depends on resolution and type of image also play into the amount of loss (Hairlines - vs- fields of color, edges). A soft cloudy sky for exampel does not degrades as much as a shot of the golden gate bridge.

  • After I installed the recent Apple security patch, I can no longer save PDFs when using Safari. And Firefox no longer can open website PDFs. Any suggestions?

    If the previous Safari suggestion doesn't work try the following:
    In Finder, go to Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins and move AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin to the Disabled Plug-ins Folder.  Restart Safari.  If this works you may just want to delete that FUBAR plug-in.
    Thanks.  This was the solution for me.

  • My iphone 4 will not back up when it syncs. A comment comes up stating it cant save back up to my computer?

    My iphone 4 will not back up when it syncs. A comment comes up stating it cant save back up to my computer? I have enough space on my hard drive, I have the new version of itunes and iphone software, and have tried restarting my computer several times. I ran apple diagnostics which found no issues! I'm not sure how to resolve this issue, please help me.

    I kept getting this last week. Really annoying. I found this solution:
    Remove (delete) ALL photos and videos from your iphone. Reboot it. Connect to your pc again.
    This worked for me, however I've since taken some more pics and it doesn't sync again, so I'm not sure what permanent solution there is, although I've read lots of technical ones by googling it.
