Acrobat Pro won't let me save previously saved pdf

Acrobat won't let me save current marked-up pdf even though I saved it halfway through. "Save" is grayed out, and when I click "Save As" and try to save with a new name, it says the doc can't be saved because the device is not ready. It won't even let me save it to Acrobat.com. Help! Can't lose all my comments and markups.

Well, now it doesn't matter, because when I went back to the doc, all the text had disappeared in the doc...it only showed my markups. What does this mean?!

Application Manger Software License Agreement for Acrobat Pro won't let me choose "Accept."

Just purchased the 12 month subscription to Creative Cloud and got most all programs I wanted installed, including Acrobat Pro. However, when attempting to open a PDF file an Application Manager window pops up with "CS6 Creative Cloud Membership" in the title and "Adobe Software License Agreement" in the header.
There is no other text in said window besides the options "Quit" and "Accept" in the lower right corner; below the Adobe logo in the upper left corner there is a drop menu triangle that opens an empty drop box.
The system we are using is a refurbished iMac 27" running OS x 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. Please advise; this is very frustrating.

Fix described here: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/known-issues-acrobat-xi-reader.html (see Blank EULA screen)
"Blank EULA screen. Problem: Mac OS only. On launch, a blank EULA screen appears, which cannot be accepted, and Acrobat does not run. This problem can appear if you have any products installed from CCM or from Creative Suite, and you tried installing Acrobat XI from a different source.
Workaround: Launch any other product which is part of the CCM or Creative suite. Then, deactivate it by choosing Help > Deactivate. Quit the application. Then, launch Acrobat and accept the EULA. Then, for the CCM subscription product, launch it and select License This Software to enable the CCM product again. If a CS application, launch it and reactivate it. [3338419]"

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 Won't Let me Save a Filled PDF Form

Hi,
I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 to fill out financial forms for my budget and finance department. The thing is, I can only print the form out when completed, but can't save it (I use "Save As" and rename the file).
When I do "Save As," the next time I pull up the form I see the data I inputted for a split second and then it is all erased automatically.
This is frustrating as I need the data to be available every time I open the form.
I am using Windows XP Professional on a Dell Optiplex 755 with an Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 @ 3.00GHz with 1.96 GB RAM. Again, I am not using Reader, I am using Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.0.
Thanks!

There is probably some JavaScript either as a document level script or page open action that is clearing the fields. If you edit your preferences you can turn off Acrobat's JavaScript,but this will also prevent calculations for running as they use JavaScript.
You could also export the the data as an FDF file and then import the data after the form is opened.

Acrobat 8 Pro won't let me save over files

This is just really bugging me - I work in Indesign CS5 and save file as a pdf. I open pdf too check ok and email to client. Then when I amend my Indesign file and resave over that pdf I get this message everytime:
Cannot save to the file "XXX" You may not have permission or the file may be in use.
And consequently, I have to go into the folder and delete it before I can save. It's not in use, it's definitely closed!
Does anyone else have this problem?

Same here Suzie - on my Mac all I'm doing is creating a simple PDF from ID. When I alter it and export as PDF, saving to the desktop to overwrite the previous version it goes through the motions - then up comes this message.
If Bill is assuming correctly that you're on Windows then its a Mac OSX problem too.
Acrobat is dormant here - only ID open.

Acrobat Pro won't allow to save with Reader Extended Features

I've saved forms this way before because all the users of our forms only have the free Reader version. For some reason it now won't allow me to save with the extended features. When I save as and hover over "Reader Extended PDF" it shows my 3 options but none of them are clickable. I don't know why it has saved before, but it won't now.
I also have a secondary issue. A form I previously, successfully saved this way is now not working for one of the users. It won't allow her to save the information she inputs. To my knowledge it has not been changed and it has only been used by a few people. Why would it suddenly stop allowing her to save?
I am working on a Mac, but the users are all on PC's. I've never had this be an issue before though.

Be sure you're not in form editing mode when you attempt to enable the document.
Regarding not being able to save with Reader after initially being able to, this has been reported before many times but the casue is often elusive. The document has somehow changed in a way that prevents the usage rights from being validated. This is not supposed to happen, but it does.

QuickTime Pro won't let me save a file from a website

I have QuickTime Pro 7.0 Normally I can right click a link in Mail and select, "Download linked file" and it will allow me to save an MP3. Not this time. Other times, once actually on a website, I can click on the button on the web based version of QuickTime and save a local copy. However, I can't do that on this website:
http://survive2thrive.gsradio.net:8080/120309.mp3
Does anyone know why?
Thanks!

Copy the URL.
In Safari open the download window (Cmd-Opt-L)
Paste.
OR
Paste the URL in the Addressfield
Option-Return and the file will download.

My Adobe Acrobat will no longer let me save PDF documents

I own the Adobe Creative Suite 4 that comes with Adobe Acrobat, which for years has allowed me to save PDF documents. Last month I decided to test Adobe Acrobat Pro for 30 days to see how well it converted PDF documents, and have since decided against it. I did not subscribe or buy a license for it and would like to be able to use my old version of Adobe Acrobat to save PDF documents, but it no longer allows me to do so. I re-installed it from the disk but it still won't let me save PDF files. I do not want to purchase a program that I already have just to be able to save PDF documents and would like to know how to get mine to work again. I work on a Mac.
Thank you to anyone that can help me.

Hi Sara,
the Suite comes with Adobe Acrobat, and I've had it for a few years, I paid full price for the suite. However, it seems that after I downloaded the new Acrobat Reader the old one no longer shows up for me to show you the issue. The new one works. And I think it is very odd that it did that as well. My guess is that the trial version of Pro that I downloaded to test out messed with the old version I had, and it refused to let me use it for a while, then I was able to force it to come up but the "Save" option was just NOT highlighted as an option. I was even having a difficult time downloading the regular version of Adobe Acrobat up until today, after I posted on this website. Every time I tried it said it couldn't because I already had a version in my computer. But today it allowed me. Very bizarre. A definite glitch I think. Anyhow, I don't think we can proceed because I can't get my old version up, the new one probably wrote over the old one. So...thank you again for your interest, I really appreciate it.

I've created a fillable PDF document in XI Pro. I need to change the body of the document and create a new fillable PDF document. When I do that it won't let me create a new PDF. It keeps saying "no new fields recognized. What can I do to redo my document with the changes in the text, but no changes in the fillable fields?

You start with a source / authoring file for the "static" content (e.g., Name, Last:). Say this is an MS Word file.
You master the "static" content..
You keep this authoring file and have a backup of this file.
You output a PDF and use Acrobat to build and fine tune the "form" (form = the form fields, not the "static" content).
The authoring file and output PDF (with form fields) gives you "rev 00".
Now, you must change something in the "static" content.
Open the authoring file and save as to a new version (e.g., "wordfile_v00" becomes "wordfile_v01).
Output this to "pdffile_v01".
Use Acrobat to open the PDF form file "pdffile_v00". Save As to a new file name ("pdffile_v00update").
Using Acrobat XI Pro the click-path Tools - Pages - Replace lets you replace a page or pages of "pdffile_v00update" with a page or pages from "pdffile_v01".
This replaces the "static" PDF page content and does not affect the form fields on the page.
(you may have to adjust position of form fields)
Save "pdffile_v00update" to "pdffile_v01" to reflect the revised status of the PDF form file.
Be well...

Acrobat/adobe won't let me convert files

It keeps telling me I have to buy the program. I pay for the Cloud on a monthly subscription and I really need to get this file converted so I can make changes for a meeting tomorrow!

I am logged in and am registered. It will simply not let me convert most PDF's to word, whether I open it with adobe, acrobat or pro 11. When I download documents from the school library, I can convert them, anything else I can't. And I really need to. What else can I try?

When you close Adobe Acrobat and launch it again if this is not registered yet.
It will ask you to either use serial number or you may see option subscribe .
You can choose subscribe or register and use your Adobe Id (email id registered with Adobe). As you said you have already purchased subscription then you should be able to activate the subscription the moment you
login with your Adobe id.

I have created a form but it won't let me 'save as PDF Form'

Hi there,
I have created a form but it won't let me 'save as PDF Form'.
When I click the button a timer appears then disappears without creating the pdf form.
I have created forms previously and not had this problem before.
Thanks

Are you using the FormsCentral desktop application or FormsCentral in a web browser?
I would try the things recommended in this FAQ, the issue is different but the fix is likely similar:
http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-4141
You can also try sharing your form with me to see if I can save PDF, that would tell us if it is a (very rare) issue with the form or on your system. If you'd like, share with [email protected] and please include a reference to this Forum post so I know what we are looking for, instructions for sharing your form: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2462

Restart the MBP and immediately hold the option key down. Release the key when you see the Apple logo. The computer will boot and show you a screen with two hard drive icons.
Select Recovery and hit Return.
On the new screen, select Disk Utility and hit Return.
In DU do this:
In the list at the left, select the name of your hard drive. (Be sure to select the name that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
Click First Aid.
If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
Click Repair Disk.
When that is done, click Repair Permissions. Be patient!
When that is done, quit DU and restart in the usual way.

PLease help: pages won't let me save a document

My problem: I type a text, hit 'save as' , name the file and trouble starts:
A window pops up saying it is a locked document or file in use. Of course after
checking it, none of it is the case, well, theoretical yeah the file is in use as I want to save it (!!!)
Does anybody know if SL has an issue with the application of pages ?
I thought there would only be an issue with apple works in that respect.
I'm not a computer person but appreciate any help with this. I tried to save anything but it won't let me save a document at all...the same window pops up.

It might be better to post over at the Pages forum.

Acrobat Pro won't update from 10.1.6 to 10.1.7, any tips, on Mac…?

One of two things:
1. Go to the Terminal App and type the word "sudo" and hit the Enter/Return key. If it comes back with a permissions error then seek from Apple to correct it.
2. If there is no permissions error in the Terminal app then go to the installation log at "/var/log/install.log" or "/private/var/log/install.log". Open it up and see if you find an error about failing to write to the file:
./postinstall: Error in converting the plist /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.PDFAdminSettings.plist to xml1 format
If you get the error above then delete the file at the location and try updating again
