PDF Files in Reader Saving As Instead of Saving

Hello,
I am running Adobe Reader XI.
My colleagues are all running other PDF editing software (I don't get the PDF editing software since "I don't need it.") When I open a PDF document that is on our shared server, I will sign the document on Reader and then go up to click Save; however, Reader opens up the Save As dialog box.
No one else in the office has the document open - so there is no reason why Reader should want to create a copy by saving as.
I just want to save the document that I signed without creating a new document and then uploading it to our server.
Thank you for your help.

You need to go in to Advanced>Enable usage rights in Reader...

What is your operating system? Reader version? Are these local or online PDFs? If online, in what browser?
Can you post a screenshot: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933

Cannot save pdf files using Reader 9.1

I cannot save the pdf files from online journals as .pdf files using Reader 9.1 The only options it gives me are html or plain text. Previous versions of Reader saved the pdf files easily. Configuration issue?

What browser are you using? Are you positive that they are PDF files? If so, do you have a link we can look at?
Typicaly, if they really are PDF fies, that's the only option you get when you use fie>save as. If they're just web pages, you get the options that you mention.

When I try to open a PDF file the reader flashes on the screen then closes

When I try to open a PDF file the reader flashes on the screen then closes. I have to open the reader, then search for the pdf file through the reader. I'm using Adobe Reader 11.0.5 with windows 7 service pack 1 home premium. Is there any way I can just click on a PDF file and the reader automaticaly opens? I purchased the upgrade so I can convert PDF to Word but it didnt make any difference.

Some things to try...
Update Reader to version 11.0.06
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Cannot Print PDF Files on Reader 9.4.0!

I recently updated the drivers on my Brother MFC-420CN printer to the Vista drivers so I could scan multiple pages at once, however, now I can no longer print PDF files!!!!
I tried to roll-back to the old drivers and it still doesn't work, I can print other types of files so it makes me believe that this is an Adobe Reader issue and not a system issue.
In addition, I tried the following steps:
1. Under advanced settings I chose "Print as Image" - did NOT work
2. I uninstalled Reader and re-installed - did NOT work
Here is my setup:
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1, 32-bit
Model: HP Pavilion dv2700
Processor: AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58 1.90GHz(I am aware this is a 64bit processor with a 32-bit OS)
Printer: Brother MFC-420CN
Driver Version: 6.0.6000.16386(This is the previous driver that I rolled back to which used to print PDF files)
Adobe Reader v9.4.0
Any advice on how to get this working again would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Had you managed to print the same files, or are you talking about files you hadn't attempted to print? Are these PDF files forms that you are trying to fill and print in Reader?

Something is definitely wrong with your install of Reader.
A PDF consists of only the number of pages it was created with. Reader can and will only open those pages... IF it's installed and working properly.
Opening multiple blank pages from a document which contains none is a clear sign that the software isn't functioning. It's like putting a movie into a DVD player, and your TV starts a picture slide show of your last Summer's vacation. Not possible unless there's something seriously wrong.
Uninstall Reader 9.
Use either Adobe's clean uninstaller or Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2. exe) to remove all Reader installer files from your system.
Reinstall Reader 9 from a new download (do not use the old one if you still have it on your system)

? How do you change default for .pdf files from Reader 6 to reader 9

I cannot change the default for .pdf files from reader 6 to reader 9. Also I cannot remove reader 6. I am running Vista

Normally, completely removing old versions and reinstalling the latest version will reassociate all applicable extensions for the program, but it appears to have failed in your case. There may be something else going on with your machine that is producing this behavior. You probably need to investigate that. But what you can do to make sure the defaults are correct is click on the start orb and select 'Default Programs.' Then select 'Associate a file type or protocol with a program.' From the list of file types, select each of the following in turn: acrobatsecuritysettings, fdf, pdf, pdfxml, pdx, xdp, and xfdf. If its default program is not Adobe Reader, click on the Change Program button and select Acrobat Reader from the list (you may need to expand the lower section to display more programs than it initially provides). If Adobe Reader does not show up in the list, you will have to browse for it. It should be located in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe.
This method is safer than manually editing the Root\Classes in the registry.

Try repairing reader once and see if that fixes the issue.

Opening PDF files in Reader itself takes a long time

When I try opening PDF Files in Reader itself, this process takes a long time (more then 2 minutes for opening PDF files).
When I try opening PDF Files directly from My computer, My documents: no problem (direct opening).
Running Reader XI on Windows XP SP3.

Hi,
According to your description, you want to open pdf file in the Adobe Reader directly from document library.
I suggest you do as the followings:
1. In SharePoint Central Administration site, click Application Management->Manage Web Applications, select the web application for the site. Click Authentication
Providers, select default zone, and select Yes for "Enable Client Integration?".
2. click Site Settings-> Site collection features->"Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" click Activate
3. set the default open behavior for a document library by using the document library settings page.
4. Enable the “Adobe Arcobat SharePoint OpenDocuments Component”add-on in the IE11.
5. Add your current site URL to the trusted web sites in IE11.
There is a similar threads for your reference:

New PDF file only reading allowed

I would like to know how to create a PDF file only reading allowed.

Acrobat can be used to set security options (though some software ignores them). PDF Pack cannot set security.

Saving pdf files in reader

How do I set up a pdf file, with fields so a person with acrobat reader can save the file without having to just print it out? I have taken out all security features, but they still can't save the file.

Is there a way to store PDF files and read them on your iPhone?

I noticed that you can read PDF files on the Internet, but it takes a bit of time to appear. Another problem was that it is hard to scroll because you can only scroll about one page at a time with the finger flicking.
Also is it possible to have portable browser on your iPhone?

Well, sounds like you may be stuck---some potential approaches:
Look at the file sharing apps to see if any offer special PDF features like bookmarks or saving your place (FileMagnet, AirSharing, etc, there are lots of them). You can even add bookmarks in Preview, though I have no idea whether any other app can read them. I know reading PDFs as email attachments does not save your place--I would expect some other apps to do better with that.
See if Calibre does any better with images in conversion:
http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/
Run OCR software on Google's PDF to convert it to text.
Since Google does a text search on them, the text is somewhere. Though maybe only Google can access it, it may not be in the PDF file but stored separately.
For some books, Google Books offers an HTML or plain text version. See if you can download that one instead (may still want to convert via Stanza).
See if some of the books you want might be in Gutenberg:

Trusted function not reffered in PDF file - Adobe reader.

Am failry new to Adobe scripting.
I am trying to generate a jasper report of PDF file format from an online web application
MY intension is to automatically save the generated report into my user's hard drive location say /C/Sample/sample.pdf
I have created the trusted function and made it copied to the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\Javascripts
Trusted function code mySaveAs.js
var mySaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function(oDoc,cFile)
app.beginPriv();
// Ensure path has trailing "/" cPath = cPath.replace(/([^\/])$/, "$1/");
try{
oDoc.saveAs(cFile);
}catch(e){
app.alert("Error During Save");
app.endPriv();
And am invoking the script from the Jasper api which will be a part of the PDF script like below
exporter.setParameter(JRPdfExporterParameter.PDF_JAVASCRIPT,
     " if(typeof(mySaveAs) == 'function') { " +
     " mySaveAs(this,'/C/Sample/sample.pdf');"+
     " } else { " +
     " app.alert('Missing Save Function\n Please contact forms administrator')" +
its just Equivalent of
if(typeof(mySaveAs) == 'function') {
      mySaveAs(this,'/C/Sample/sample.pdf');
} else {
app.alert('Missing Save Function\n Please contact forms administrator')}
but am not able to get the file saved in my client machine.
Kindly suggest me a better approach or any where if am missing something.
Am failry new to Adobe scripting.

Am currently using Adobe reader 11 I am not getting any alert .
But the same saveAs() works well in XP even with out making it as a trusted function, We have just placed the script inside the PDF itself. But its not working in Windows 7.
Below code works fine in Win XP
try
     this.saveAs('/C/Sample/sample.pdf'');
    catch(e)
    { app.alert(e);}

Specify custom download path for PDF files in Reader 9 ?

Instead of having Adobe Reader 9 save downloaded PDF files in IE7's temporary internet files folder, I would like to save them in a different folder. Is there a setting to change this (registry or otherwise?)

That's only temporary storage, in some cases only for the duration
of that IE session. If you want to save the file to disk so it's
accessible later, right-click and save target as...
You can move the TIF folder to wherever you like using (in IE7)
Internet options > General > (Browsing history) Settings > Move
folder.
