Problem saving a pdf file (adobe X) on a DFS (Distributed File System)

Following the installation of the X version of adobe reader, saving a pdf file over the network handled by DFS (distributed system files) is not possible.
the following message appears: The file may be read-only or opened by another user. Save the document under a different name or in a separate folder.

Hi,
Please refer to the thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/3312454#3312454
Reader X has known compatibility issues with DFS .
This should most probability be fixed in the nxt update of Reader X
Thanks

  • Trouble saving certain pdfs with Adobe x

    I have just upgraded to Adobe x and am now unable to save certain pdfs (eg journal articles). They are not protected files and I was able to do this with the previous version. Same issue as previously asked and also running Windows 7:
    "I am unable to save copies ofcertain pdfs in Reader X (10.1.1). The pdf (from an academic journal) opens without problem but when I click on the Save a copy icon in the tool bar nothing happens.  I'm told to click Shift+Ctrl+S and then get a "Bad Parameter " message.  If I click on the Print icon there is no problem.  I'm running Windows 7"
    Help would be great - needing to get study done!!
    Thanks

    After installing Reader 10 (aka Reader X), I had exact same problem --trying to save multiple documents via Firefox browser (up-to-date version 3.6.13), only first document can be saved -- attempts to save 2nd document results in nothing happening.  Uninstalled and reinstalled Reader 10, problem same.  After closing browser, waiting a couple of minutes, could then save 2nd file -- but then could not save 3rd file right away, etc.   Gave up -- uninstalled Reader 10 and went back to Reader 9.4 -- no problems with old version.  Based on other comments on this forum, it seems like Reader 10 is not ready for prime time.

  • Intermittent problem saving a pdf form

    I have created a 17 page PDF form in LiveCycle Es with many dynamic features, such as adding or subtracting more lines to a table.  The whole document is about 700KB ( 800 after being partially filled in) in size.  I put fillable password protection on it and ran it thru Adobe Extension, checking Basic Fill-in and Final. 
    Most users are happy with it except two people are having problems saving it to their computer.  Both downloaded it from Firefox to their computers, then opened it and began typing.  Sometimes they are able to save their work and other times not.  One was able to do a Save As and rename it, but that didn't even work for the other.  One was getting an error message saying to the effect that the volume for the file was externally altered and cannot be saved.
    They are both using Reader 8 or 9 and one has Vista while the other has XP.  I have downloaded the form at work and at home and cannot duplicate their problem so I suspect the problem is at their end.
    Any ideas of what could be causing this?

    I think have a similar question as you answered here.  But I want to just make sure I am understanding your response.
    I have created a PDF form in LiveCycle and saved it as an Adobe Static PDF form.  When I supply this form to my users.  The only way they can fill it out and save it is they must have Adode ACROBAT.   The free Adobe Reader will not allow a user to fill out the form and then save it electronically.    They can only fill out the form in Reader and then print it out. Is this correct?
    So any one I want to fill out the form and save it electronically will need to have Adobe Acrobat and at least the Standard addition...which costs money.

  • Smaller PDFs? Adobe X - Using TIFF or PNG files to create PDFs

    I received a PDF - 73 pages, black and white - original file size is 2240KB (2MB).  They wanted me to clean it up - so I save as either a TIFF or a PNG at 150 DPI, run each image through a batch process to darken them up (grayscale, soften, adjust curves - using Corel Paintshop Pro - Sorry Adobe), then recombine as a new PDF.  No matter what file type/size I use (TIFF or PNG) or even if I select a smaller output size in the combine PDF it balloons to a 11-12 MB file.  I can optimize it but then I think it takes all the images and JPGs them and they get all blotchy.  Print to PDF was even larger.  The only file that did not balloon up was when I recombine the original TIFFs saved from the original PDF.  Any tips on what to do to make a smaller file size?  Also I will take any other tips on cleaning up PDF quality - the other one we sometimes use is to print and rescan using a setting with higher contrast, but I like manipulating the electronic files better.  Thanks!

    Well, yes, that's a terrible way to do it. If it can be done at all. And it would make no difference if "Adobe Photoshop" appeared instead of "Corel whatsisname".
    PDF files are generally vector. Rasterising it will lose detail, searchability, quality, and much else.
    If they are actually scanned bitmaps you might be able to clean them up using Photoshop as an image editor helper from within Acrobat.
    But really, cleanup should take place before making the PDF.

  • Problems saving as PDF

    Using the standard "save as pdf" option that is part of the OS X system, I can produce a pdf file, but none of the web links on the page will be active. I've tried it in both Word and in my web browser, and neither will make a pdf with active links. This is a new problem, as I have been able to turn Word documents with links in it into pdf files that have the same active web links. Any thoughts or ideas?

    I just did it with a TextEdit document, but I'm running Snow Leopard and don't have access to my G4 at the moment, but that should also work in Leopard. The links are hot. I even copied the TextEdit doc into Word '04 and saved it as a PDF via the print menu and those links are still hot. Can't tell you why it's not working for you. Create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if the problem persists.

  • Problem saving to pdf in print mode.

    Greetings.
    I am switching to Firefox to avoid frequent Safari crashes. However, when I attempt to save to a pdf from a web page, using the "Print" function, characters in the font in the web page are replaced in the pdf.
    For example, the word "protege" appears in the pdf as "protégÃ&copy".
    The problem doesn't occur when I save as pdf from the same page in Safari - just with Firefox
    Font preferences in Firefox are as follows:
    Fonts for: Western
    Proportional: Serif
    Serif: Times
    Sans Serif: Helvetica
    Monospace: Courier
    In Safari:
    Standard Font: Times
    Fixed Width Font: Courier
    I'll bet this is a simple fix. I'd appreciate knowing how.
    Thanks.

    Bob it would be through the printer driver options. When you chose to create a PDF using Adobe PDF driver, you need to go to 'PDF options' and pick the one that would allow font embedding. ie: 'press quality' forces font embedding if the font allows it to. I prefer to make my own 'setting' in Acrobat Distiller, but if you don't have Distiller, you can chose one of the preset ones.
    Some fonts are write protected and will not allow embedding, but most will. You can even get around that by writing a PDF 1.3 version of the file, but pdf 1.3 doesn't support a lot of what the current PDF 1.6 does - Transparancies etc.
    You need to create your Distiller Settings before trying to save your file obviously.

  • Problems saving to pdf files with adobe acrobat on imac

    I have just installed and activated Adobe Acrobat 9.0 on my new iMac OS X 10.8.2, but it keeps coming up with an error message when trying to save a powerpoint presentation to a pdf file. I have downloaded all updates, painfully, one by one, from 9.1 to 9.5.3, but still to no avail. Any suggestions to get Acrobat up and running. Unfortunately, customer support from Adobe a big fat zero.

    Are you trying to view PDF forms?  If so then you may want to use Adobe Reader.  You can find the download for Adobe Reader at http://get.adobe.com/reader/.

  • Adobe Reader XI and Firefox 17.0.1 problems saving multiple PDFs

    Hello,
    I am running Adobe Reader XI (the most recent version as of my writing this), Firefox 17.0.1, and Windows 7 SP1.  I am trying to save multiple PDFs but I am only able to save one at a time before having to restart firefox.  Here is the chain of events:
    I open a PDF in a new browser window
    I click "Save" on the toolbar
    I select the location and save my new PDF
    I close the window and return to open an additional PDF
    The PDF opens in a new window
    I click the save button (see step 2)
    The button is present and animates when I click
    Nothing else happens (i.e., no prompt to select the save file location)
    I get upset
    I restart firefox
    Repeat steps 1-10 for additional PDFs
    I have a whole bunch of class lectures in PDF that I would like to save so I can study offline.  Please Help!
    Thanks,
    T

    I just tried this (Reader XI & Firefox 17.0.1), opening PDFs
    in the same tab as the link
    in a new tab
    in a new window
    all had no problem with saving; the explorer windows opened each time in My Documents folder.  I do not know why this does not work for you.
    Suggestion: if you have links to these online PDFs, right-click on the link, then select 'Save link as...'; that is anyway quicker than opening and saving the files.

  • Problem saving a PDF file

    I am able to open a PDF file but I cannot save it. The file was stored elsewhere on line.  Does anyone know how to save it to my ipad?

    Your question would be easier to answer if it contained more detail, but let me guess that you're really asking: "How do I get a PDF file that lives online to my mobile device so that I can open it in Adobe Reader?"
    If that's the question, then you can do a number of things:
    Save the file to your desktop and sync it to your device via iTunes.
    Save the file to your desktop, create an Acrobat.com account, upload  the file, and sync it through Reader on your device.
    Email it to yourself and tap the "Send to" icon to open it in Reader.
    There are many options.
    HTH.

  • Has anyone experienced problems saving downloaded pdf files in Yosemite?

    In Mavericks, I could choose the pdf file destination folder using the save dialog box's "search" entry to select the folder to save a file in. Now the search feature seems to have been disabled. Yosemite appears to have implemented a new method to choose a destination folder. It sometimes allows me to navigate to a parent folder and get a list of sub folders that I can scroll through to choose the desired one. Problem is that the feature seems to be unstable - I can't reliably get this feature to work and wonder if I can downgrade to Mavericks.

  • Problem saving annotated PDF files with windows reader app

    It has happened to more than one of my files. After I read it, and jotted some notes on it, when I was trying to save, it tells me I couldn't. At first, l thought it was a problem of my file. However, it has happened to every file I tried. When I opened
    the file with another PDF app, it opens and saves fine.
     Is there anything I am missing that causes the problem?

    Hi,
    I just made a test using Windows Reader, it works fine without problem. For your problem, I doubt there is a problem with this app and you can try to reinstall this Reader app trough Windows Store.
    On the other hand, you can access to the link below to download the pdf file to make a test. I already made a test using this pdf file on my system, Windows 8.1 Pro. Reader app works fine:

  • Illustrator CS3 - problems saving as pdf  (or pdf-compatible)

    Hi,
    My office are trialling Illustrator CS3 as we're getting some business card type work and we'd like to be able to send the proposed designs to the client as a multi-page PDF.
    Unfortunately, I'm having a terrible problem when saving a particular file i) as .ai format, if PDF compatibility is checked, &
    ii) as a PDF.
    In both cases the progress bar goes half way and then Illustrator hangs, eventually saving after 3 hours, at the last try!
    The multi-page document consists of 7 x A4 tiles, I know this sounds big but actually there's not that much stuff in it: on each page there's a bit of text, a gradient, 3 monochrome logos and two drop-shadows. There is also a spot colour and a linked image (500kb). If/when it eventually saves the pdf is <150kb and the .ai is <2mb.
    I've tested various options when saving to try to trace the problem and it ONLY hangs when PDFing is involved; it saves with compression really fast.
    Obviously the time it's taking isn't practical so I'm hoping someone can suggest what might be wrong. The PC is a decent spec: WINXP sp2 / 3GHz P4 / 1mb ram / 256mb gfx / 1.5Gb swapfile / 5gb defragged space on HD. I've looked at the Windows Task Manager as Illustrator is trying to save - the CPU is only up to 50% and the swapfile usage is 300mb - if it's taking so long why isn't it maxed out?
    Hope someone can help, thanks in advance.

    I can't save a 1.4 meg .ai file as .pdf. Program freezes.

    Hi,
    I'm having a similar problem and it's disappointing that no one has responded to the original posing from April 2013.
    I was extracting a range of pages from Framemaker 7 to PDF using the Acrobat 6 Distiller. The PS file failed to convert to PDF and the log file contained these errors.  What is the meaning of the "Error: undefined" statement?  How can I figure out where the error is occurring?
