Acrobat 9.4.2 won't "save"

When I open PDF documents in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.2, the "Save" option is grayed out.
It will let me "Save As ..."
It's not a major issue, but it's annoying!
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit edition.
Any ideas would be welcomed.
Thanks.
Tim

Acrobat 9.4.1 won't save scanned document - occasionally

After scanning a document into Acrobat 9.4.1, I can not save the document. Pressing Save or Save As does not bring up a save diaglog box. Some times this works just fine, other time it does not work at all. This is on a Win 7 64 bit machine.

Acrobat 8 Pro Form Won't Save on a Mac

I created a form in Acrobat 8 Pro for Windows (version 8.2.5) and enabled Reader features. A user reports to me that she can complete and print but not save the form on her Macbook. What's up with this? What am I doing wrong??

No, she downloaded Adobe Reader X for Mac. I'm not familiar with macs at all, but one of our tech support people helped her install it and reboot.

Acrobat v9.3.2 Won't Save PDF Files On W7 64 Bit

I have a dilemma that needs to be solved. I have a new Windows 7 64 bit system with several terabytes of legal documents stored locally, mostly in PDF. After loading Adobe Acrobat Standard v9.3.2 I find that while I can open PDF documents, I can only save edits/highlights/comments only once. However on all subsequent edits and save attempts Adobe delivers the message:
"The document could not be saved. The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder". I no for a fact that the file is not open elsewhere and if I view the security properties of the file it does not show as read-only. If I save the document with a new file name it behaves correctly just once, then begins delivering the same error message as the original PDF on all subsequent saves.
In addition to the built-in Windows accounts there is only one user account on the W7 system, it has password protection and administrative privileges. The PDF files that cannot be saved are all owned by this account and the account presumably has "full privileges". Further, the PDF documents themsvelves have "no security" and allow for editing/highlighting/commenting. It is important to add that many of the same PDF documents I'm trying to edit were easily edited and saved on a previous 32 bit Windows XP Pro system which this sytem replaced. Moreover, on a seperate 32 bit Windows 7 laptop and the 32 bit Adobe Acrobat Standard v9.3.2. these same PDF files stored on a network drive have no difficulty performing all the edit and save functions. However, if a sample PDF document stored on the local drive of the 64 bit W7 system is shared and accessed directly by the 32 bit W7 laptop system, the laptop/Adobe Standard will deliver the same error trying to editing and save the image stored on the 64 bit Windows 7 system.
I have tried running Acrobat on the 64 bit W7 desktop as "administrator" but the problem persisted.
My Acrobat Standard indicates there are no updates available.
I've pretty much exhausted everything I know to look for and I am stuck.
I hope someone can offer some insight to this.
Thanks in advance,
Sandy

I believe I may have found the problem and potential fix or workaround for the problem described in my original post.
Windows 7 has a feature in Windows Explorer that will if enabled show a file preview image in the rightmost pane when a file is selected or moused-over. If one selects an Abobe PDF document to launch Adobe Acrobat will launch in a seperate window while the Windows Explorer pane will show a thumbnail sized image of the first page of the PDF document in the Windows Explorer pane. The explorer window may even be behind the Acrobat application so once one is looking at the full document in Acrobat they may not even notice the thumbnail image in Windows Explorer.
On my setup, when this would happen I could edit a PDF document and save the PDF only once, but any further save would fail. Apparently the thumbnail in Windows Explorer is enough to make Acrobat believe the file is already open, or open by another user.
One workaround is that once Adobe Acrobat is launched explicitly look for and close the Windows Explorer showing the PDF thumbnail. One might also accomplish the same by moving the mouse over a different file so the thumbnail of the open PDF is not showing, or to turn off the preview function in Windows 7 Explorer altogether. I haven't yet tried the latter.
Acrobat is the only application on my W7 Pro system that doesn't play well with Windows preview mode. My MS Office apps have no difficulty saving even while showing thumbnails in the preview pane.
I hope this might be helpful to anyone else experiencing this problem.

Adobe Acrobat 9 pdf files won't save on windows 8

Since transfering my program to Win8, I have been unable to get my Adobe pdf documents to save. They just disappear after naming them.

Acrobat won't save any more links in a PDF. Why?

I am adding links to a PDF file. I have done several, including the index of the file. Acrobat won't save any more though. Why?

Sara,
The Save As allows me to save the changes, but the regular save will still not function. I seem to recall a similar issue with the last version of this document, with a similar number of links.
Thanks,
Clint

Acrobat Pro XI Mac won't print a .pdf file, but Apple Preview will print correctly

Hello,
I have Acrobat Pro XI for Mac. recently I've run into pdf files that will show the document on screen ok, show up on print preview screen ok, but when I send it to a printer I either get:
1. no printout... the document passes through the printer queue ok, but nothing comes out (no blank paper, nothing). no data seems to even reach the printer/print server. no error. the print job basically vanishes into thin air like the job was never sent
2. prints out with all the characters of a text substituted with squares (again, no error. just prints squares instead of text)
But when I print the same document using Apple's Preview program on the same machine, the file prints out fine.
I experience this problem with two different Macs, with two different OS versions. Again both machines will print the .pdf file fine using Apple Preview, but not with Acrobat Pro XI.
I've searched for this problem, but no one seems to have this problem. I've tried just printing one page, etc., and no difference (won't print, or print wrong using Acrobat, but prints fine using Preview)
the files are typically sent via e-mail from a vendor, or a web downloaded form (invoice, forms filled out. some are secure, some are not). and these are from multiple sources.
Any ideas what might be the problem, and how to fix this?
system:
Mac Pro (early 2008) and MacBook Pro (mid-2011)
MacOS 10.8.4 and 10.6.8 (multiple computers have this same problem)
Acrobat Pro XI, 11.0.04
printer: HP LaserJet 5MP (yes.. old.. but it works) via HP JetDirect + print server on LAN

I just found this solution on another board, I tried it (I removed the same file listed below) and it worked for me....
Safari won’t save or print PDFs: how to fix
:: Tuesday, January 29th, 2013 @ 5:29:46 am
:: Tags: Computers
If Safari won’t save or print PDFs (but views them without any problems), you probably have an Adobe PDF plug-in installed. In Safari, go to Help->Installed Plug-ins and do a search for “PDF.” If you have anything with “PDF” in it other than “WebKit built-in PDF,” that is probably the culprit.
On my computer, the problem was “AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin”. To remove it, I quit Safari, did a Spotlight search (Command-Option space) for that file name, and then dragged it to the trash. When I restarted Safari, I could print and save PDFs again. You can also manually find the plugins by going to the system “Library” folder (the one at the root of your hard disk, not in your user folder) and looking in the “Internet Plug-Ins” folder.
I’m on OS X 10.8.2, running Safari 6.0.2 (8536.26.17).

Watermark source file won't save in settings

I have successfully created several watermark images that have source files (both in PDF format and JPG format). But there is one that I cannot get to save. I have tried the image in both JPG and PDF formats, but for whatever reason, when I try to save the settings, the source file is not saved and it just comes up as blank text when I select it for use. I have tried over and over again to save this watermark.
As a result, whenever I want to apply this particular watermark, I have to go and browse for and find the file time and time again.
?? Any clue as to why this one won't save? Is there a maximum number of watermarks that can be saved?

You can look at the place where the settings are saved.
For Acrobat 8 and MS Vista the place is:
X:\Users\{user}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\8.0\Preferences\Watermark

Form Fields won't save when coworker saves PDF file

I am on Acrobat pro (mac osx), my coworker is on Acrobat Reader 9 (pc, XP). I made some form fields in a PDF file and saved it. Everytime she changes some of the text in the fields and tries to save it won't save the stuff she entered. Everytime she opens it, it contains my orignal field data.
What steps do I need to take to make it to where she can enter in her own text and save without losing data.

You need to Reader-enable the form. If you have Acrobat 10, select: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features

Adobe Reader won't save forms under Mavericks.

After installing Mavericks on a Mac, discovered that Adobe Reader won't save forms or e-mail them with the filled-in information. DOes anyone know a fix? Does anyone know if this is also true for Acrobat?

The reason is Adobe has not updated there software yet to play well with Mavericks. The fault is of course with the Adobe Software. I suggest you go to there web site and see if they have a fix yet for there software, If not all you can do is continue to check back with them or get on there fourms and see what others have to say about this same issue.

CS4 Photoshop - saving on NAS storage - open file won't save without renaming it.

open file won't save without renaming it. If you try to save a file that you have adjusted in CS4 Photoshop on a networked drive, it won't save it. If you rename it, sure. If you are working on the local drive it is not a problem.
By the way, we have 2 users in house. Both on Mac systems and both are using CS4 Creative Suite. One Mac is OSX 10.6.8 - the other is Mac OSX 10.8.3. The older Mac system does not have a problem.
Is this a Mac operating system problem? would upgrading to CS6 solve the issue for our Mac OSX 10.8 ?

Livecycle crashes and won't save

I am creating a form and Livecycle keeps crashing and then it tells me "Failed to save the file". While I am using Vista, I also installed it on my laptop which is using XP.
I have 2 problems:
1. when I am trying to change a text box name and try to save it, it won't save.
2. after the program closes, the file is gone...no longer a 'valid file name' even though I have saved it many times.
First, it started doing this some of the time. Now, it crashes just about everytime I try to edit my form. I have to keep copying my file using several different file names so I don't lose all my work.
I have tried to reinstall Adobe Pro but it does not solve the problem. Any suggestions?

Do you have Adobe Reader installed? If you do, you'll need to uninstall Reader and Acrobat Pro. Reboot and reinstall Acrobat Pro and check for updates.
Reader and Acrobat Pro are incompatible on the same PC/laptop.

Voice Memos won't save my recordings?

I'm in college so I usually record my classes for further detailing, but I just recently discovered that Voice Memos just won't save my recordings like 2/5 of the time. I already lost like 4 important ones for the past 3 days.
The thing is that I see it recording, but it just doesn't save it, and it's just sitting there at 00:00:00 with the name tag I had put. I want to die.

- Does you iTunes library already contain a Voice Memos playlist? Some users have had to manually create it in order for the sync to occur.
- Also try resetting your iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Photos won't save to camera roll

Since I installed iOS7, all the pictures I take with the camera won't save to camera roll. I see them in the lower corner of the camera but when I click on it, they are not in the camera roll. In the camera roll, I just have a bunch of pictures that I deleted months (or years!) ago. I uninstalled my profile and reinstalled it two or three times with always the same result.
All the settings are ok.
I installed the profile of a friend on my phone to test it and everything works fine with his profile.
Anyone can help me out with this issue?

bluetooth is an APPLE issue: they have blocked many of the 'normal' bluetooth features on 'other' handsets..
an example you may be thinking of is Sharing a photo via Bluetooth .. simple everywhere else, but can not be done on iphone
-you have to use it via an app such as iphoto, or send it attatched via an email, from the iphone.
stupid, annoying, yes.

HI, I just got a Macbook Pro. It's great but my mail doesn't work at all. It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages, then won't delete them, then won't save them to folders. Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck.

Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck between quitting and not. I have to force quit, then restart my computer if I want to pull up my mail again. How can I fix this?

If you just got your new MBP you have phone support from Apple (which is quite good) call them. 800-692-7753 tell the automated answerer "mail technical support" you'll have human quite quickly. Hope this helps.
