Trouble saving edited PDF

I am editing a multi-page PDF. I occasionally need to replace existing pages with updated pages. However, after I open the document, insert the replacement and go to save, I get a message telling me I can't save the file, that it's already open. No one else has it open. Any ideas what may cause this?

As I understand it, you have used the Document>Replace Pages tool, or the Document>Insert Pages tool. The former is useful if you are replacing individual pages, particularly if you have added markup. The markup (like form fields) will remain if you use the replace option. If you can't save the file, then just use Save As. I often use Save As to overwrite the current file. The advantage of Save As is that it strips out the old changes that Save keeps. If you use Save, the file will often become bloated. You can also do a Save As to a new file name and then delete the old file when done.
I don't have an answer to why Save is not working for you as it should, unless you are playing with a PDF/A file or such, or the file is protected from changes (security setting -- You can often make changes in the document and don't find out until you try to save that it is locked). So check for either the archive format (PDF/A) or security setting. That is all that I can think of that is blocking the save.

Trouble saving a pdf from In Design with Illustrator files linked.

I have trouble saving a pdf from In Design. Most of the files i've linked are Illustrator files with size up to 70mb.
I am getting out of memory message The In Design file isn't that big - about 9mb.
HELP!!!!!!

It did not help to close and reopen it.
Not sure what you mean with exporting in chunks but if you mean exporting page for page , so it didn't work either.
I think that i'll try to reduce the size of Illustrator files , but I 'm not sure what will be the optimum size for that In Design won't crush again.
Or maybe i should make the presentation in illustrator instead? It take some time to save pdf from illustrator when the original file is about 90mb, but still it works.

Trouble saving encrypted PDF to MAC

I am having trouble saving my EStatement to my computer - but only when I try to "save as" to my home MAC. I don't have any trouble saving the exact same EStatement it to my work PC (without having to enter any password). I have saved several EStatements in the past from the same source to my MAC without having to ever enter a password. Now when trying to save the PDF EStatement to my MAC a window pops up asking for a password from owner. Apparently it in encrypted BUT ONLY WHEN I TRY TO SAVE IT TO MY MAC. Any ideas?

Figured it out. I needed to open the download in ADOBE on not save it from Preview.

"Read-only" message when saving edited PDF

When I try and save editing in an existing PDF I get a pop-up window saying it could not be saved becase it may be read-only. This is true even on files that I have saved myself that are not read-only. How can I get rid of this?? The only option I have is to save the file under a different name which leaves me with the same file.

Hi ILM100213,
What version of Acrobat are you using (and have you installed the latest updated)? And what operating system? Have you double-checked the file permissions on those files to make sure that you have read-write access? And, do you know whether any of those files have document permissions assigned in Acrobat?
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

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
Kelly

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.

Problem in saving edited pdf files in phone

Make sure you disable the Preview pane in Windows Explorer.

Trouble saving a PDF

I just downloaded Adobe Reader 8.1.2 for Mac OS (10.4.11) and used it to fill out pdfs and saving them as PDF (with the filled in info intact) . Then all of the sudden it stopped letting me save the PDFs. Does anybody know what I can do? The Save as PDF function on the print menu is not working either.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Adobe Reader, when you do SAVE on a form, does not save the form data
(and will warn you in advance of that) EXCEPT for specially prepared
forms. Maybe the forms you used in the past were special.

Issue saving edited pdf file on preview

Hi
I opened a 5 page page pdf file on preview and just wanted to save the last page and delet the others. When I am done, I am not able to save, or save as or cancel. When I click on save as a page for save as came on but disapeared without i could change the folder name and then it frooze.
Thanks for your help.

First, you need an app capable of reading PDFs but that's not the issue you should be addressing. You cannot upload PDFs to job sites using Safari. Safari allow this ONLY for videos and pictures.
To do what you're asking, others have suggested using an alternative iOS browser called iCab Mobile or iUploader (iTunes links). Both should help you.

Having trouble saving edited images back to organizer.

After I save images in Editor, they don't always "save".
I get "IAC error failed message", and sometimes image doesn't save at all after numerous editing steps.
Thanks in advance.

If you start the process in iPhoto by hitting the edit button near bottom right, then any changes made in the external editor should update automatically after you save in Elements (Cmd+S) and close (Cmd+W)
The process is not always smooth with raw files but should work with jpegs.
Note, you cant use the editing tool in iPhoto once you set up Elements editor as the external editing app.
See this Adobe tech note:

Trouble saving as PDF

I'm trying to save a large job to PDF for the person to review and I keep getting the warning "The dimmension of this page are out-of-range". Any help would be greatly appreciated I'm starting to pull my hair out.

The limit seems to be 200 inch in AI CS5. However, I am able to save artborads larger than 200 inch with AI CS3 as pdf. That's peculiar.
I have had similar problems when exporting large artworks to jpeg. Sometimes I just use the PrintScreen button to do the work.

Hi Sara!
Yes this sounds interesting. Can I update to that from the PDF Export I have just renewed? How much would that cost?
Thanks for your quick answer.

Editing documents saved as PDF

Why can't I edit documents saved as PDF? Last week I was able to save them and then edit them. Today I can only view them.

Hey johnfromnew malden,
First off, do you have all of your files backed up?
Have you ever replaced the hard drive?
Try starting up in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key while booting. Continue holding the Shift key until you see the login window. It may take 5 or more minutes to start up as Safe Mode will try to repair your hard drive if there are issues.

Whats the best software for photo editing and creating product catalogues that can be saved as PDF's

Whats the best software for photo editing and creating product catalogues that can be saved as PDF's

You are asking two different questiions:
1. What's a good photo editor? Answer to that here is probably obvious.
2. What's a good desktop publishing/page layout program for creating PDF files for production? Answer, not PSE. It's a photo editor, not a page layout program.

Edited pdf saving on server machine

Hi,
      I am displaying pdf file on client machine from server using byte array object in visual studio 2005 ,after editing the pdf content using live cycle, i want to save a copy of the edited pdf on server, is any idea for saving it in server,Please provide a solution or give a sample code , i am waiting for ur reply.

Hello,
I would guess that all the pdf files you are generating in AS in c:\temp directory. Otherwise if files are in c:\temp\data then you will have to change in the webutil.cfg file. So, according to your webutil.cfg file the function call can be like this..
lResult := WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.AS_TO_CLIENT_WITH_PROGRESS
               ('C:\TEMP\ABC.TXT',
                'C:\TEMP\ABC.TXT',
                'TITLE',
                'PLEASE WAIT...');Or otherwise if the files are in C:\TEMP\DATA then change the config setting to the below and try the function as below...
transfer.database.enabled=TRUE
transfer.appsrv.enabled=TRUE
transfer.appsrv.workAreaRoot=
transfer.appsrv.accessControl=TRUE
transfer.appsrv.read.1=c:\temp\data
transfer.appsrv.write.1=c:\temp\dataAnd function like this...
lResult := WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.AS_TO_CLIENT_WITH_PROGRESS
               ('C:\TEMP\data'ABC.TXT',
                'C:\TEMP\ABC.TXT',
                'TITLE',
                'PLEASE WAIT...');Make sure that file is readable on the AS and the directory C:\TEMP is available on the client side.
Using example you can find in webutil demo. Check the below link.
