Acrobat X scan to email requires save of file

http://forums.adobe.com/message/3683351
Re this previous forum, I cannot find a way to scan to PDF using acrobat X without having to save the file. Version 9 used to auto save a document (I think) with name untitled.pdf. This adds in a few extra steps which can be very inconvenient to customers who scan multiple docs at a time.
Any ideas? The forum's last suggestion didnt work. The Attach button stays grayed out.
Thanks

This looks like a new behavior of Outlook 2010 and isn't specific to PDFs. You will need to "save as" the document. There is a thread at Microsoft forums about this with some possible workarounds:

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.

Scan to email: get pin so email working but don't get scan

set up email account ok and get 4 digit pin via this email.
When I scan to email it says email sent but nothing received at all.

Hello @Octothorpe47,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are not recieving the scans that are sent to your email.
I would like to help.
Scan to email does have a file size limit. If it is a large document you may have to send it as two.
Are you getting any messages from the printer?

Acrobat 8 Pro - Scan and email without saving document

Our office recently upgraded from Acrobat 6 to 8. We frequently scan and email documents to our customers around the world, but there is no need to save these documents on our computers.
In Acrobat 6 we followed these steps and were very happy....
1.Click CREATE PDF
2.Select FROM SCANNER (Acrobat scanning pop up menu then comes up)
3.Click SCAN
4.The HP scanner menu would pop up and we could make additional adjustments (quality, paper size, etc.) before clicking the scan button on the HP menu to start scanning.
5. The newly scanned documents are then shown in Acrobat and can be emailed. From this point you can also choose to save the documents to your computer, but most of the time in our particular office the documents are just for one time use and do not need to be saved.
With Acrobat 8 we are having a problem in step 3 from above. Once "scan" is clicked, we are prompted to name and save the documents we are about to scan in a desired location on our computers. Is there anyway to scan and email without saving the document in Acrobat 8? It would be a real time saver if we did not have to keep deleting these unnecessary files once they have been emailed. Your help is greatly appreciated!

To email a PDF, it would be an attachment and would have to be saved as a result. Email packages can not e-mail non-existent data.

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.

When I open PDF documents in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.2, the "Save" option is grayed out.

A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially.
I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.

Error Message- Changed email passwords and now can't scan to email

Changed google email accounts and now wont scan to email, error message.
How o I change or confirm passwords. It has also lost air print.

Hi @sellingsf ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you need to update teh settings for your scan to email feature and have an Airprint issue.
I would like to help.
First you will need to gather your printers IP address.
Touch the wireless icon on the front panel of your 8600.
If it says IP no link, your printer has fallen off the network. This would be why Airprint is not working.
Once you have the printers IP address, open safari or chrome.
In the address bar type the printers IP address and press return.
This should take you to the printers Embedded Web Server (EWS).
Once at the EWS you should see the scan to email setup.
Choose the option to edit the email and type in your new password.
Save and test.
With the inability to Airprint, go into system preferences.
Then go into printers and scanners.
Select the 8600 plus and click the minus icon to remove it.
once the printer is gone, click the plus sign to add the printer again.
If you encounter any 'hiccups' or require further assistance, please let me know.

Acrobat XI cannot save the file, cannot read document

Recently acquired Acrobat XI with a new scanner. with several specific files that were sent to me, I get an error message that it cannot save the file because it cannot read it error (135). 3 out of 4 documents are originals. The 4th was apparently printed out and scanned. No problem with it. Any suggestions? I've pretty much tried everything and only solution seems to be creating jpgs files and then turning them back into a PDF file. Another party who received the files reports she has no problem with it. My guess is that she has an older version of Acrobat. I'm having the same problem with the Reader version.

Thanks for the response. I sent a response to the email notification but since I don't know if that puts my response on the forum, I'm putting it here as well. Yes, Under "help" I've run the updates multiple times and none are available. I did see a fix that sounded like it was for this type of situation but I could not find the switches in the program to carry out the recommendation. It sounded like the problem was that XI has trouble "reading" some documents and gets "hung" as a result. The solution was to turn off this feature. But I don't see how I can do that. I downloaded Soda PDF (alternative program) and it did not have any problem with it. Also, someone else opened it with no problem.

HP LaserJet 400 colorMFP M475dw scan to email problems

Hi all!
I'd very much appreciate a solution to my agony.
We recently purchased a HP LaserJet 400 colorMFP M475dw multifunction printer. Now I'm trying to set it up (browser administration -> Scan --> Outgoing E-mail Profiles) to send scanworks by email but facing following problems:
1. When typed in all the credentials correctly, even the "Test & Save" option takes ages. After cople attempts I got it succesfully tested.
2. Using my personal gmail-accout as sender, the scanning work takes a long time. It stops in connecting smtp server phase for quite a long time before even starting the actual scan.
3. Using the company's newly created email accounts as sender, it takes even longer. I just timed it to take 6 minutes and 23 seconds before it started the actual scanning.
4. Now it seems to send the scan ok, but with some of the first attempts it failed with some general error message asking to try again.
In my opinion the time it takes is totally unacceptable. Is this some known issue and is there a workaround?
Our company emails run on MS Office 365 and I'm using smtp.office365.com as the smtp server, port 587 and SSL/TLS checked (tried unchecked too). As I said with Gmail it might not be as slow but still very very very slow.
Please help?
This question was solved.

I also wanted to know if a HP M575f MFP is able to scan-to-email to MS Office 365 before buying the printer.
Because I didnt find reliable information in the internet, I contacted HP Germany.
Today they told me that HP printers don't support Office 365. The original wording was:
'Allerdings wird Office 365 nicht von unseren HP Druckern unterstützt.'
So far my present knowledge.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8620 Scan to Email Function

HP OfficeJet Pro 8620 is a great value for all the features it provides. "Scan to Email" was one of the reasons i bought this printer. Even though i can make this fucntion work with my gmail and iCloud emails, i feel very uncomfortable in providing those emails credentials while setting up this funciton.
1) Does the printer store the user name/password encrypted?
2) Does EWS encrypt the password while sending it to SMTP service?
3) Does HP provide SMTP service with HP Connected or HP Support Forum (this forum!) credentials. I will feel more comfortable in using HP's username/password for this service than GMail or Apple
Your help is much appreciated.
This question was solved.

Hi,
If I remember correctly, the printer should offer you to save the email address to the adress book while scanning to email, I do not have any acces to the printer correctly to ensure that.
Additionally to add email addresses to the Email Address Book, complete the following steps:
1. Open the embedded web server (EWS) by clicking Printer Home Page (EWS from teh HP Officejet Pro 8620 software Or
by browsing the printer IP from your browser (Click he Ethernet or Wireless icon on the bottom of the screen to see it.)
2. On the Scan tab, click Email Address Book.
3. Click New to add a single email address.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions. The entry is added to the Email Address Book.
You may add up to 15 email addresses.

Acrobat 9 - Attach to email - missing subject line?

I just upgraded to CS4 from CS3. In Acrobat 8 when I am viewing a PDF if I go to the File menu and select (Attach to Email) I am taken to my mail app and an email was created with the attachment and the subject line is filled in with the file name. With Acrobat 9 when I try to do the same thing it does not include the subject line. Is there some sort of preference I can change to get it to include a subject line?
I send a lot of PDFs to customers and that feature in Acrobat 8 is a convenient time saver.
Thanks.

I have both versions on my computer because some of us have clients with deadlines and can't afford to spend hours trying to find out why new software isn't working the way it used to or should.
I sometimes produce up to 50 pdf proofs a day from InDesign layouts that need to be emailed to my clients for review. It was so smooth to be able to just hit the button, have the pdf attach itself to a new email message WITH THE NAME OF THE EMAIL AUTOMATICALLY PLACED IN THE SUBJECT LINE, type in a small note and hit send. Now, thanks to some coding anomoly in 9.0 I have to remember to hit SaveAs BEFORE I hit the email button, select the name of the file, copy the name of the file, hit the email button, then paste the name of the file in the subject line.
This wouldn't be so frustrating if I didn't literally have YEARS of being able to use that feature. Also, if even half the features Acrobat purports to have even worked consistently I could see tweaking it, but it's been known in the industry since day one that most of the extraneous "features" don't even work like they're supposed to.
Portable Document Format was a brilliant concept and works beautifully as a way of consistently displaying and printing layouts across platforms, it's vastly superior to Powerpoint for presentations when the original design can be created in a layout program. Unfortunately Adobe decided to attach features to it that weren't properly tested so it's clunky to actually use, many of the features don't behave consistently or at all, and people can't create their presentations in it so they turn to Powerpoint because MS figured out how to make it easy to create simple presentations right in the application. Through the years, every time I've tried to use the features in Acrobat I'm left disappointed by the outcome and so now it's reputation as anything beyond a wonderful prepress and proofing tool is tarnished.
Also, on a Mac I don't know what kind of security issues could be in 8.0 that would leave me exposed. I open my own pdfs, files sent by my clients and others that I trust only. How is someone going to sneak past my firewall just because I'm running 8.0?
How am I exposed?

Scan to Email

Product Name: officejet 6700
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)
Naming separate scanned pages – for emails
When I scan separate attachments docs to go the same email recipient I can't seem to be able to name them separately in detail. For example, if the first page is about my dog, I will want to name it as 'Michael dog’. If the second and following pages are to the same person but with different subjects eg. 'Holiday Details', 'Football Scores, etc, for other family members, I will want to name them as ‘Michael Holidays’, ‘Michael Football Scores’ and so on.
If I press the BLACK + square , to the left of the red X it WILL make a new scan, then another one etc. each time it is pressed with a different page on the scanner and they all appear as ‘scan previews’ which is just fine. However when I eventually press the ‘SAVE’ button they are saved as 'Michael00001', ' Michael00002, Michael00003' etc. On the email, not the separate subject names as above – ‘dog’ ‘holidays’ ‘football’ etc. That I would prefer.
If I'm emailing someone I know, it's not a big issue, but if it's to a company I finish up by having to send three separate emails, each one with the similar message but just one scan attached with the separate references and subject items.
A forum contributor suggested that if in ‘Advance Settings/File’ I select ‘Show in Dialog Box’ it will be saved exactly as I want it to. This does work but it’s a bit of a chore to have to create an email then drag each named file onto it from this file. Also the ‘copy and paste’ does not always work. There ought to be a better way!!
When I press the ‘scan’ button the first scan preview comes up. If one rests over the BLACK+ square, a message come up that says -- ‘To add new scanned pages as either single or multifiles. Click BACK and go to scan multipage docs, click the BACK button to go to the ‘FILE’ tab in ‘Advance Settings’. When I press this BACK button, all I get is a drop down menu that says – DO YOU WANT TO SAVE THE SCAN? – ‘YES’ ‘NO’ ‘CANCEL’ , none of which are of any help as all I want to get back the ‘Advance Settings/Destination where I might be able to change the scan title.
Can anyone please help? With my now defunct and discarded Lexmark’ all in one’ that was made seven plus years ago I could completely give each separate scan its own unique name and send them all to the email at one press of the button.
Sorry it’s all a bit lengthy
Kind regards
Woodruff

Scan to Email not working - Invalid Credentials error (using gmail and 2-factor authentication)

I configured the HP OfficeJet 8600 printer for scan to email using the Embedded Web Server interface. In the Web interface, I added/entered an email address for my gmail account, and set the correct SMTP server details, and entered 465 for the port number. I checked the "Always use secure connection" box, as well as the "SMTP requires authentication for outgoing email messages" box. I entered correct SMTP user ID and password. Yet when I did a test, I got an error "Invalid credentials" After a lot of frustration, and trying all sorts of things, I eventually got the idea to try another email account. This time I tried a different email account, a netzero email account, configured the smtp server details for it etc. And this time when I tested the netzero email address it worked. I tried the scan to email on the printer, and it worked for the Netzero email account. it just didnt work for the gmail account. I had a while back turned on 2-factor authentication. I went to gmail settings and requested an "App password" for my HP printer. Google/gmail displayed a 16 character password, which I then entered into the password box in the HP OfficeJet printer Embedded Web Server interface (instead of my usual password), for the gmail account. And this time when I tested the email account - it worked! Problem solved! .. I share this just in case anyone else is having the same problem I had, and is going through the same frustrating experience I endured!

Thank you. This helped TREMENDOUSLY!

Scan to Email doesn't work

Hi
I've just bought a Scanjet G3110 which I've installed on a Dell T1700 PC runing Windows 7 64 bit.
The Scan to Email button doesn't work, it just prompts me to save the scan to a file, this is not what I expected.
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how I can get this to work as described?
Regards
Barry

Hi @BarryJH , and thanks for contacting the HP Forums!
I see you are experiencing scan to email issues. I would like to help!
I would recommend performing a power reset on the printer. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also suggest this document on Scan to e-mail.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
