Acrobat 7.0 - Enable save an edited PDF

I have Acrobat 7.0 and have created an editable PDF that I would like others to fill in and save, even if they only have Reader. I have seen that you can do this with later versions of Acrobat by going to Advanced > Enable usage rights, but this doesn't seem to be there in the Acrobat 7.0 menu. Is the option located somewhere else? Is it not available in 7.0 at all? Your help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

You may want to download the EULA for AA9 from Adobe.com and be sure that enabling will not violate the EULA for your application. If it will, then upgrading will not solve your problem, but just get you into a legal hassle if you do use enabling. There is a 500 use limit with some variations and you need to read about the restrictions in terms of your use.

Can't save an edited PDF to the same folder it originated from

Can't save an edited PDF to the same folder it originated from. Error "cannot save the document is read-only or is open by someone else" and then it prompts to save the document to another folder or change the name of the document. This is not what I want to do! Using WIndows 7

Hi JC_AUS,
Thank You for posting on the forums. This can happen if the preview of the document is opened in preview pane in Windows Explorer.
Kindly switch off the preview pane and then try the same.
Thanks,

How to save an edited PDF in Acrobat Pro without any compression

Hi,
I just edited an existing PDF in Acrobat Pro 9 - actually I inserted some high resolution images in TIFF via the Touchup tool.
What do I have to do to save it without any compression of the TIFFs - I tried a lot, but the outcome is always compressed, showing artifacts.
Thanks

First, editing PDFs is really only for minor fixups. There is generally no word wrap or such when doing such editing and often then seem to go downhill fast. To edit text, you have to have the font available. If the file was scanned and the OCR applied was searchable text, the only option to edit what is displayed is with a graphics editor, typically PhotoShop. PhotoShop allows Acrobat to have edited graphics and then be reinserted in the file (I don't do it, so can't give details). ClearScan replaces what is seen on screen in the graphic with the text. In that case, you see all of the text and the corresponding errors (often many). You may want to load a graphic (bitmap) with text showing or use a scan and try the various versions of OCR to see what I am talking about. That may help you see the options. Searchable PDFs is more useful if an original is critical, such as in the legal profession.

Unable to save an edited PDF file

I have some PDF files that I need to sign, whenever I place my signature and click save I get an error message saying "The file may be read-only, or another user may heve it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder". I am currently using adobe Pro 9 with windows 7 64bit and Im trying to save it into a network drive.
Doing a little research, I found that there is a bug on the application, if the file is selected/highlighted on the folder where I opened the PDF, I get the error message, and if I unselect the file or close the window from which I opened the file, I am able to save it with no problems at all.
Is there any patch or is adobe going to fix this?

Como indica el encabezado del foro, se trata de un foro en español.
Has instalado todas las actualizaciones de Acrobat?, creo que la mas reciente es la v. 9.5.
Sobre una futura solución a ese problema (en el caso de que no se haya resuelto aun), dependerá de Adobe, esto es un foro de usuario, que no suelen anunciar si seguirán apareciendo actualizaciones y
en que momento, de versiones antiguas de su software.
En el caso de Acrobat XI, lo hacen trimestralmente al menos.

Why can't I 'save' an edited pdf???

I made a pdf in the new Acrobat DC and rotated it...but now I can't resave it unless I do a 'Save As' and rename it!!! Not cool........the old acrobat did not do this......

Hi Neenorm ,
The function of Save and Save as is essentially the same ,i.e to save the document .The way they achieve it is a slightly different .The save command automatically saves the file .
The save as command opens a dialogue box in which you can change the name of the file and location .
The basic function of both the commands is same.

Preview crashes on save of edited pdf

Hi,
I'm trying to delete pages in a large (500+ pages) pdf. It's a public-domain ebook from Google that I only need parts of for my research and I'm trying to minimize storage space and reading. I can delete the pages in Preview (select, delete) but every time I try to save the document Preview freezes and I lose my work. I've tried saving the original file and saving as a duplicate and neither was sucessful. I've tried about five times now, even making sure the only other program running at the time was Preview and that seems to have had no effect. The file is saved to my hard drive and leaves me with the spinning rainbow wheel each time. I can post the kernel log, but it's huge and I don't know which part has the right information.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

How do you save an editable PDF on the iPad app?

The entries appear to be saved on my iPad, but the document is blank when I email it.

I'm assuming this is a form. Is that correct? Do you know if the form was created with Acrobat (acroform) or LiveCycle Designer (XFA)? XFA forms are not supported by the mobile version of Adobe Reader. They may appear to work when filling, however.

Acrobat 9 standard save without changing pdf version

Hello,
I have a question, is it possible to save an edited PDF file (the original is in an old format PDF 1.3/1.4) in the same format it was before editing?
When I have edited the PDF with acrobat 9 standard it automatically changes the PDF version to 1.6.
Thanks in advance

There is no PDF Optimizer under advanced in acrobat 9 standard
Saving in older file format is only a acrobat pro option?

Editable pdf file that can be saved

Working with Acrobat X. I have created an editable PDF file that i sent to my customer. They enter their information and all is good, BUT they can't save the file only print.
Is there something else I need to do to make this possible?
Traci

Whenever I see "customer" in a question like this I try to remind folks of the limitation of the license for 500 uses. Not requiring the extra step is an option for Reader XI as mentioned. The other way is to have any data submitted as a data file (FDF) rather than the whole form. When you import the data file into the form you get the same result. The customer can just print the form for their records.

Editable pdf needs to be saved as a pdf x1/2001

Hi,
I made a pdf with editable fields so client could update the text and then save it as a pdf from Adobe Reader for the printers. Things were working out fine they could edit, save and print the files themselves, but then we ran into problems when they tried to send the file to the printers.
The printers are using a system called Dalim Twist and they say they want the files saved as a PDF version x1/2001 which Adobe Reader 8 or 9 doesn't save that legacy version. Is there a software that will save an editable PDF as a PDF version X1/2001?
I tried opening the file in Adobe Acrobat 9.2 and saving it, but it won't let me save a pdf X1/2001 because it has editable fields and version X1/2001 doesn't support editable fields. Is there a way of collapsing or flattening the editable file so it can be save it as a pdf X1/2001, because after the client edits the file the printer doesn't need to edit the file so it doesn't matter if the editing capability is gone.
If there's anyone out there with a solution, your awesome!
Thanks,
Mya

In Adobe Acrobat Pro you can use the Preflight Tool to flatten the documents.

Acrobat 9.5 - use Touchup text Tool to edit PDF. Updates do not display. But, if I "save as" Word doc, the edits appear in Word. This feature worked in earlier versions of 9.x patches.

I have a suspicion you're working with a scanned document that has had OCR run to recognize the text. The recognized text may be stored on an invisible layer above the image of the text, and that is what you're toucing up. It's invisible, so you don't see it, but retains the changes, so exporting produces the new edits.
When you run OCR to recognize scanned text,, try using the ClearScan option, instead of Searchable Text. See this help page on Acrobat (this is for version X, but still applies):

Acrobat 9 Pro Extended: Enable commenting in Save As-ed PDFs by default

For Acrobat 9 Pro Extended:
When using Save As to save a PDF, is it possible to have Commenting and Analysis enabled for that saved PDF by default?
What I currently must do: Open the PDF, choose Comments > Enable for Commenting and Analysis in Adobe Reader, at which point Acrobat 9 Pro Extended prompts me to save the file.
What I would like to do: Have Save As automatically enable commenting & analysis by default.
I can't find any controls for that, so suspect it's a manual process each time...(?)
Note, too, that this question was asked for Acrobat 8 Pro but went unanswered, which further leads me to believe enabling comments may well be a one-by-each process. Sigh...

No.

Can you save an Illustrator file to an Editable PDF format

I have made a menu for a Restuarant on Illustrator and I want my client to be able to go into the file and edit the text. They do not have illustrator and was wondering if I can save it as an Editable PDF?
Thanks in advance for you help.

No. You cannot create Enabled PDF Forms (that's what you're talking about) from Illustrator. Illustrator can export a PDF, but it is not Enabled For Reader Extensions. It contains no editable fields.
1. Do your artwork in Illustrator. Leave out the fields that you want the end user to be able to edit.
2. Save as PDF (without Illustrator editability).
3. Open in Acrobat Professional.
4. Create the desired fields and set their properties. Save the file.
5. Enable the file for Reader Extensions (it's a command in Acrobat Professional.) Save the file again under a different name. That's the file you distribute to your end users. Your end users can then open it in Adobe Reader, edit the fields and save their edits.

Can't find Save As Optimized PDF in Acrobat X Standard.

I just bought and installed Acrobat X Standard, but cannot find the Save As > Optimized PDF option. I have seen and used this option before in Acrobat X Pro, and it was one of the reasons I bought Acrobat for myself. Adobe's own website says that this option is available in Acrobat X Standard. My File > Save As menu has options to save as PDF, Reduced Size PDF, Certified PDF, Reader Extended PDF, and the other format options but no "Optimized PDF" option.
Does anyone know what might be going on here? I've tried to look through Acrobat's Preferences to see if I missed something that would enable this option, but I haven't seen anything. Can this be fixed? I didn't fork over a bunch of money to have one of the few options I wanted not be available. If not, is this grounds enough for me to get a refund? I'd appreciate any help I can get.

Any idea what can I can expect if I try to explain this to Adobe Customer Service? I bought the software as a download from Amazon, which will not refund software downloads I just learned. I'd say that since Adobe's website provides incorrect information, and I based my purchase off of that incorrect information, that they should do something for me, then fix their website so it doesn't happen again.
I see that my only two options to talk to customer service are via phone or online chat. I have no idea how helpful or unhelpful Adobe customer service is (i.e. do they use foreign hard-to-understand call centers or stock-answer chats). Does it seem like I'd have any chance in the world of communicating this fairly complicated situation and getting an actual resolution from someone? Is there any email address somewhere I can contact? That way I could copy and paste the link to the incorrect page on Adobe's website. If Adobe can't provide me with a refund of some sort, maybe they could just upgrade me to Acrobat Pro or something. If this is going to be nothing but a many-hour nightmare to try to deal with, though, I'll just eat the money I've spent.
As a last ditch effort, is it possible to upgrade from my existing Acrobat Standard to Acrobat Pro without having to buy a whole new copy of Acrobat Pro?
Geez, what a mess. Thanks for your help.
