Acrobat 9 slow to save files

I have Acrobat 9.3.2 Pro installed on a WinXP Pro computer. When I scan a document to create a pdf file and "save as" it takes 2 -3 minutes to save a single page document when I'm logged in to a "user" level account. When I perform the same actions as an administrator the save is almost immediate. When logged in as a user when I select "save as" and give the file a name and hit enter I can see a pdf file icon appear in the file folder immediately but within about 15 seconds the Acrobat Menu bar blanks out and Acrobat is totally unresponsive until the file save is completed. Windows task manager doesn't show any cpu or memory problems (usually the cpu is only running 1 or 2% and system idle 98%).
The stranger thing to me is that the program worked fine a couple of days ago. Anyone have any ideas. I tried giving the "user" account full control of Acrobat but that didn't change any thing.
Anyone seen this one before?

I think this was an issue with older versions of BM that was addressed
with a proxy.cfg setting. Try the one from tip #63 at the URL below.

Flash CS5: Slow to save files

Is anyone else finding it very slow to save files in Flash CS5? I've gotten in the habit of saving often, probably from dealing with CS4 being so unstable. It's now habit that I hold down command and hit S then Return every time I test a movie. Yet with CS5, saving a file is no longer immediate. I'm on an 8-core Mac Pro with 12GB RAM, working with a 60MB FLA, and it takes at least 7 seconds to save the file, complete with progress bar. This may not sound like a lot, but if I -- make a change / save the file / test the movie -- and repeat that over and over again, those seconds add up. It's odd because CS4 saved files so fast it didn't need a progress bar and I never noticed a delay.
I suppose one solution is to get over my CS4 fears and not save as often, but I don't quite have that level of confidence yet!
Is this happening to everyone or just me?

Hi Stiv41,
I would say that there might be some case where saving a file in CS5 could take a bit longer, but it really depends what you have inside your file. This is especially true if you import lots of assets inside your document. With the introduction of XFL, we are now importing the asset but also saving a copy of that asset inside the document structure. Having that extra copy could take a bit longer to save, but you have now the ability to share the document along with all the assets, and those assets can be edited very easily.
Note that usually the first save is going to be a little slower, but subsequent saves should be much faster. The first time we need to create the XFL document structure, but on subsequent we try to only save what has changed. Of course sometimes we'll need to resave the entire document depending on what changed.
Also saving as Uncompressed should not make much of a difference at all.
Finally I would say that a 60 meg Fla file is fairly large. I mean if you have 60 megs of drawing that one thing, but 60 megs worth of assets you might want to consider linking them instead. Since you probably want to publish a small swf.
-Valerio.

When will Acrobat Professional XI save files to the new Adobe Workspaces?

Here is the dilemma and I can't believe Adobe has not addressed this...
The product Adobe Acrobat Professional XI saves to the cloud. But the location that it saves to is files.acrobat.com (Which you have to comb the Internet or forums to find this out by the way). When a user goes to Acrobat.com, Adobe tells them that we are now Adobe Workspaces with all the features, etc. and tells us to go there instead, but the FLAGSHIP PRODUCT -- ADOBE ACROBAT PRO XI saves to the old supposedly obsolete Acrobat.com - What am I missing here?
Is there a plan to start saving from Acrobat Professional XI to Adobe Workspaces?? What do we do when Adobe shuts down Acrobat.com???? Why is this not addressed anywhere??? What's the plan???

Hi WarithNiallah,
This behaviour is as designed.
Acrobat.com - Personal File Storage is a free service that is integrated with Adobe Acrobat XI software, which was first released in October of 2012. This service lets you store documents online and access them from computers and mobile devices.
Acrobat.com - Workspaces is the original (legacy) Acrobat.com service, offering a team workspace with up to 2GB of storage, an online word processor, and an online table tool. It can also be used to host shared PDF document reviews invoked through menu choices in Adobe Acrobat software. These services are available for free.

Acrobat won't save files

most useless program ever invented acrobat !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And provide some details; "won't" really doesn't mean very much.

Acrobat 11 pro (Creative Cloud master collection licence) doesn't save files changes only from the network and a user profile. We can't recreate the user profile due other programs setting

Steps to reproduce bug:
1. edit .pdf file from MS network (i.e a share).
1.1 Browsing the network.
1.2 Once that the file is found.
1.3 Select the file, right click and select edit with Adobe Acrobat".
2. save changes.
Results:
I get message box "document could not save because write access was not granted. only read"
Expected results: I have to save the file because the user has all rights file’s security.
Can you help me ?
Thanks in advance
Enrico

First, you should ask in Acrobat
The Cloud forum is not about using individual programs
The Cloud forum is about the Cloud as a delivery & install process
If you will start at the Forums Index https://forums.adobe.com/welcome
You will be able to select a forum for the specific Adobe product(s) you use

Word 2007 won't save files with Acrobat Pro 9.0 Installed

Last night an issue started occurring while trying to save a document in MS Word 2007 (part of an Office Ultimate install). After about 10 hours of trying several suggestions from a variety of forums and MS suggestions I found that the only time I cannot save a file by traditional means is when Acrobat is installed. I tried updating Acrobate and had the same thing happen. MS says all that's left for me to do is get an answer from Adobe (I have to wonder if it's a copout).
Steps taken so far:
Disabled the PDF add-in - still unable to save Word files
Removed PDF add-in - still unable to save Word files
Removed entire CS4 suite - Word was able to properly save files
Installed only the parts of the suite that I use frequently (Photoshop, Soundbooth, Premiere, Acrobat) - unable to save Word files
Removed Acrobat Pro 9.0 - Word saves files properly again
When I say it will not save a file I've tried the keyboard shortcuts for Save/Save As, Choosing the Save/Save As from drop down, and even attempted to save by closing the document. When prompted with the option to save changes I say yes and nothing will happen, I have to close the document with nothing saved.
I hate the idea of reinstalling Acrobat each time I need to use it to keep Word functional. I've seen a ton of threads on other forums related to this issue. Has anybody else seen this or know about a fix/work around? Any help is appreciated. Please let me know if additional detail is necessary.
The operating system for the affected computer is Windows 7 32-bit.

I installed each update individually (6 of them) and rebooted after each update. Opened Word and attempted to save a document (after each update/reboot), the documents still cannot be saved (previously created documents still cannot have new detail saved).
Decided to delete the Office folder in the following path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Office
Opened up word and Acrobat went through an installation processes, to replace what was removed I assume. After this was done I attempted to save a document and was still unable to do so. Went back and deleted that Office folder in the above path again. When opening Word this time I cancelled the installation process that Adobe was trying to complete. Preventing the install of the settings and PDF add-in allowed documents to be saved again in word.
I decided to try to remove the innactive add-in from my Word Options and received the following error message:
"The connected state of Office Add-Ins registered in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE cannot be changed"
Due to my deleting that folder?
I suppose I could cancel that installation that initiates each time I open Word (or any other Office program that benefits from Acrobat Add-ins) but that will be a bit of an annoyance.
Anybody have another suggestion, know what may need to be deleted from the registry to prevent the Add-ins installation when opening Word, or know where that setting can be changed?
Hopefully getting close to a resolution

Excel file very slow to save - but only for one user! Why?

The problem ...
I have an excel spreadsheet that I share with my partner, i.e. another user on my Mac. The file works just fine for me, but is very slow to save when my partner uses it. Save time for me is about 3 seconds, for my partner about 45 seconds. The problem only seems to be with this one file, and the slow save time is driving her nuts! (I'm not able to upload the file as it contains confidential info).
The file is about 225kB with about 6 worksheets and some macros. It’s stored in a folder below the standard OSX ‘shared’ folder. Both users have identical permissions on these folders and this file.
What have I tried already? Re-saving the file in a different place, renaming it, re-creating it by copying the contents to a blank file, repairing permissions on my partner’s user account, copying excel .plist files from my user to hers, deleting her .plist file & creating a new one. None of these have worked.
System details ... 2.8GHz I5 iMac (late 2010 vintage), 8GB memory, OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Excel for Mac 2011 v14.2.3 (auto updates on & all installed I believe)
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

On the problem Mac...
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

Acrobat won't save as a Reader Enabled PDF File

Hello Everyone,
I'm having troubles with creating an editable PDF. What my goal is for this document I'm creating is that when I send this doc to others they can fill in their name and be able to import their logo into this document. Because you can't create an image field, my work around is creating a signature field for where they can place their logo. Anyhow, my problem is that as soon as I create the signature field in Acrobat, I cannot save it as a Reader Extended PDF, because all of the options are greyed out. I've tried changing some of the security settings to allow for this, but its not working. I just want someone to be able to open Adobe Reader and be able to use this signature box. If there is anyone that can help I would really appreciate it.
All the best!
m2b

Hi m2b,
Do you sign the document before extending the features? If you do then make sure "Lock the Document after signing" checkbox is not checked. Try this:
Clear all signature fields.
Click on the field that you want to sign
"Sign Document" window will appear
In the left bottom corner this check box will appear.
Uncheck it.

Grab auto-save file type locked by Acrobat Pro?

I have tried using the posted command line in Terminal on both my iBook and G4 (both running 10.3.9) to get Grab to go back to saving screen shots as .jpg's, but it does not work. Ever since installing Adobe Acrobat Pro 6.0.0 both machines are saving screen shots only as .pdf's. In addition (and I have looked through all the AAPro preferences to see if there is something to 'turn off' - there isn't), AAPro has inserted toolboxes into all Office programs and I cannot get this to stop either. I've tried moving AAPro out of the applications folder, but this has had no impact. Any suggestions on a workaround?

Aha! Thanks. "PDFMaker Lib" was the file inside the Office folder. If that does not fix it I will search deeper into the folders for the culprit.
Still cannot switch Grab back to saving as .jpg vs. .pdf, using that command line in Terminal. Any suggestions on that issue? Do you suspect Acrobat Pro is involved due to the fact that this problem started about the same time?

Acrobat Pro puts a file in a folder in the Office
directory that causes the Acrobat Pro tool boxes to
appear. Moving this
file will stop it from coming up. The folder is
called Extensions, or Add-ons, or Plug-Ins or
something like that. (I can't look up the actual
path since I'm stuck in front of a windows machine at
work at the moment.)

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,

Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro Save button grayed out

I have a user with Windows 7 with a fresh install of Adobe acrobat 8 pro and everytime you open a pdf and type in it the Save button is grayed out. You can go to Save file as but why is the Save button grayed out? I have ran updates and even removed it again and reinstalled still the Save button is grayed out? I even created a new pdf with just test word in it and saved it to desktop the button was still grayed out when i reopened it.

Only the fully updated Acrobat 9 and Acrobat X products support use under Windows 7.

Excel 2010 slow to save on Server 2008 R2 server

I, like many other users am having slowness when saving and opening excel and word docs. I have a W7 x64 machine and the server is a 2008 R2 x64 machine. I've tried to apply the hotfix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981711 but
when I try to install it, it says "The update is not applicable to your computer".
Any ideas on what to do? I made sure it was downloading the x64 version of the patch as well.
Thanks in advance.

I attempted to disable the SMB 2.0 on my workstation only and it seems to save files like normal now. I didn't get the saving or downloading message in the splash page. I don't think disabling SMB 2.0 is a solution is it? What do I do now?

Cannot save file after it is digitally signed

Hello, I work for the IT Dept at my company and one of our employees is having trouble saving PDF files after digitally signing them. He received the error message:
The document could not be saved. Can not save to this file name. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder.
After each signature, Acrobat asks to save the file, which he does. The strange thing is that he may sign the same document 4 times, and the error might only occur on the last attempt to save. It will successfully perform it the first three times. I cannot find a pattern to the errors. The times he gets the error messages don't necessarily all happen on the last attempt, it might be the first or the middle. I have tried updating the program and searching around through the options to find any setting which may be applicable, but have had no luck. I have been trying to solve this problem for a few days now and I can't make any progress.
Does anyone eles have this problem or have a solution?

I don't have an answer as I have never seen the problem. However, for those that might be able to answer the question they will likely want to replicate the problem. It would be helpful to know what OS (and if 32 or 64-bit) and what version (include subversion) of Acrobat -- latest 10.1.4. If you can create a sample document that has the problem, then folks may have an easier time to repeat it. A document can be posted either at one of your sites, Acrobat.com, or maybe dropbox.

Default for opening pdf files keeps changing back to 'save file' after I set it to open in firefox

Since upgrading to the latest Firefox version, my options for opening adobe pdf files have changed. I set it to 'use Adobe Acrobat in Firefox', it works absolutely fine, then some time over the next few days it changes itself back to 'save file'. Then I have to open options and change it again. This happened to me some years back with a much earlier version of Firefox - I can't remember how it was resolved, I think it just stopped doing it after a while. But it is most irritating!

I echo the request for Help! I've added Options to my Toolbar so I can more easily change "Save File" to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" as the default. Why does Firefox keep reverting to the save file default?

Illustrator - save file problem

Illustrator 9.0.2 / Windows XP 5.1 : When in an Illustrator doc, when I do File Save, a dialog appears telling me a bit of useless info - "Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties" - seeing that the dialog tells one absolutely nothing about a solution ( ! ); when I look in Windows Explorer, anytime I get that message the file is shown as aad03108 or aad01272 or aab04020 (just noticed there seems to be a sequence when I have repeated the attempt to File Save; when I Save File As the same doc, it goes through the cycle OK; any ideas out there? Thanks.

Are you saving to a network drive or a local drive? And, did this just start happening? I'd take a look at your scratch disk space. Have you done any system maintenance like a defrag lately? Just a hunch, but maybe you're running out of space for a decent preview save.
