Acrobat XI states file is read-only when trying to save

For the last couple of weeks I have had this issue . . . when saving to our shared drive, Acrobat XI states file is read-only (pop-up below) and I must save as a different name or in a different folder.
I must then save the file to a different folder or drive. No other Adobe product has this issue and it only occurs on our shared drive. IT states I have full permissions for the folder.
Anybody else have this issue?

I'm glad it was that easy, frankly! :-)
Glad it solved the problem for you!
Have a great day,
Sara

  • Outlook crashes when trying to attach file. Excel crashes when trying to save. (Possibly Connected)

    A colleague is trying to attach a file to an email by clicking the attachment icon and it crashes, however it does not crash when you drag and drop.
    When they try to save an excel file by going New File > Save as, it crashes, but when you right click in a folder or desktop and create new excel and then work on it and save, it works.
    I already uninstalled, install compatibility pack again, reinstall, updated, disable all add-ons and ran them both in safe mode and it still crashes. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    '''eshbach''', Did you try updating the Trusteer Rapport software and did it fix the problem with Firefox crashing when downloading a file or saving a page?
    '''mike_berry413''',
    If you don't need the Trusteer Rapport software, you can remove it. If you need the software, you can try updating it or else temporarily disable it to see if that stops the crashes.
    For the record, here is the crash report from the ReportID you posted:

  • Illustrator CC crashing when trying to save .eps

    Hi,
    I'm trying to save a basic logo file that i have created, every time i try to save as an .eps file illustrator crashes and doesn't save.
    I can save it as an .ai no problem, i don't think its something specific to the file as it crashes when trying to save other files as an .eps.
    I've cleared my .pref file but that didn't help—it still crashes. I'm running OSX 10.9.3 and i don't have another version of illustrator installed.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply however it doesn't really solve the original question. I am fully aware of the limitations of .eps in fact one of the reasons logo's are usually sent as eps is because it flattens the file, therefore limits the ability of third parties down the production line to change the logo. Also current clients and printers do still specifically request an eps, hence the original question.

  • Make few columns of Excel file read only when downloaded

    Hi Experts,
    Is there any way we can set few of the columns in excel sheet as read only when downloaded from SAP.
    We have requirement where a program will generate a report and download it into an excel file on desktop.  When the file is downloaded, two of its columns should be non editable.
    I know complete sheet of excel can be protected using OLE, can we protect few columns also using OLE?
    any idea how can it be done?

  • Acrobat 9:  Read-only errror on second save

    I can save a file for the first time in using Adobe Acrobat 9 without any problem.  If I then re-open the same file, make a change and try to save it again, I receive the error message the file is read-only or in use by another program.  This occurs every time.  This is a new problem after one of the automatic updates from Adobe.  I have checked the properties of the files and the read-only box is not checked.  I have checked security and have full control read, write, modify etc.  Is there something in Acrobat 9 or in Vista that can be set or changed to correct this problem? OS:  Windows Vista Service pack 2, build 6.0.602;  Acrobat Std, Ver. 9.3.2

    I was having similar issue on one workstation.  I could open and edit other types of docs (word, excel, etc) and could change the names of pdf documents but when saving the pdf after making any changes it would act like it was open by another user and would prompt for saving under different name.  Also, could open and edit a document on one workstation and go back to problem one and it couldn't.  Both workstations are Windows 7 and were using acrobat v8.1.3
    Updated both to 8.1.4 and the issue went away.  Couldn't any reference to this problem in the patch notes however.

  • MS Word: This file is read-only. To save a copy, click OK, and give the document a new name in the save dialog box.

    This is not a question. I believe I've found a new issue and the fix for it.
    The situation:
    A brand new iMac 27" running Yosemite 10.10.1
    MacMini server running 10.8.5 server.
    The issue:
    Client on iMac trying to work on MS Word documents stored on server was requiring him to save the documents to his desktop and then copy them back to the folder on the server. The exact error message was, "This file is read-only. To save a copy, click OK, and give the document a new name in the save dialog box."
    The issue is unique to this computer in an office of 10 client computers and three servers.
    Attempted fixes:
    Verified that the ".Temporaryitems" folder existed and the permissions were set properly.
    Repaired permissions on the client and the network share.
    Definitive fix:
    By default, Yosemite 10.10.1 uses SMB for connecting file shares. When I overrode the default and switched to AFP protocol, the issue went away.
    I hope this helps someone else.
    Rob

    That was it. What an operating system. It is very helpful to view files you are looking for. But if you have preview on you cannot save files.

                    GC.Collect();
                    GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();

    I know it's a very old issue and I reached to this page looking for a solution. Finally, I have found a fix to this problem.
    The problem is that we create an instance of Word and do not close it correctly. This makes program believe that the file is already open and hence you're getting the respective message of file being locked by you.
    Set the visibility of your application to true and then when you close it both file and instance should close and you will not get the problem again.

    Hi Rea,
    When you try to edit the PowerPivot workbook, are you open it as read-only mode? Please see the screenshot below:
    The "Read Only" mode will not be able to save any changes to the workbook you are loading.
    In addition, is it work for you while you save the PowerPivot workbook with a new name?

  • Opening the file in read only mode

    hi all,

    Edited by: GD on Jun 23, 2011 2:25 AM

    hi,
    Read only means you cannot mofiy the file. This also includes that you cannot delete a readonly-file yes,
    what i am doing is i have three button in my layout 'save','view' and 'delete'.
    1.so when user press 'save' button after selecting the file then the file gets saved into the specified.
    2. when user press 'view' button the file has to open in read only mode.
    for this i have written above mentioned code(but still i am able to edit the file)
    3.when user press 'delete' button the file has to be deleted from the specified location.
    so my problem is after setting file to read only mode, i am able to edit but i am not able to delete it.
    What i am using to set the file to read only mode is right?
    Please help.
    Thanks..

  • I am not able to use Firefox with Sharepoint - I can only open a file in read-only mode and cannot checkout the document and edit.

    I would like to use Firefox with Sharepoint.
    However, I am only able to open a file in "read only" mode whch means I cannot edit the document and save it. I am also not able to "check-out" a document in Sharepoint and edit it at the same time.

    This may not work for everyone, but I solved this problem by clicking on the file name in sharepoint, not the document icon to the left of the name. This then brought up the various options, including checking out, editing, version history etc. It seems obvious but I have only just realised this!

    Could you please help me this
    Regards, Hitesh
    Saving the file as read-only does not mean you cannot make changes, it merely means it is recommended that you open this file as read-only. Also using 'xlWorkbookNormal' is incorrect since this is basically the macro-free xml format. Use the 'xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled'
    instead. Now as far as not allowing the user to make changes you will need to protect each worksheet, as well as protect the workbook. So something like
    Sub ProtectWorkbook()
    ThisWorkbook.Protect Structure:=True, Password:="test123"
    Dim sh As Worksheet
    For Each sh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
    sh.Protect Password:="Test1234"
    Next sh
    End Sub
