ADOBE GENERATOR TO SAVE IN PDF?

This is the scenario:
When I open any PDF document, there is only one option to save this document: "save a copy". What I am looking for is a way to connect with Alfresco server in order to choose my target folder inside Alfresco and then save the document in it.

Using "save as" in Adobe Reader to save a PDF document in Alfresco

Is it possible to use the "save as" option in Adobe Reader to save a PDF file directly in Alfresco?

Printing to a PDF when Adobe Reader disables "Save as PDF"

I have searched far and wide on the web and cannot figure this out.
I have an Adobe PDF. When I try to open it with Preview, I get the following message:
Please wait...
If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download.

From what I have read, Adobe has imbeded some commands into the PDFs created by certain software which only allows the PDFs to be opened by Adobe products (Reader, Acrobat, etc.). I can easily open it with Adobe Reader and fill the document in. However, it is a job application, and I would like to be able to email it back to somebody, but I wish to make it so that it is not editable.
Normally, this would be easy, simply use Preview's "Save as PDF" function. Unfortunately, "Save as PDF" does not work from Adobe Reader, I am not sure why although I am sure both Apple and Adobe will point fingers at the other when asked.
Thus, I am looking for a program that will effectively clone a printer, but print to a PDF instead of a actual printer. I have used PDFwriter in the past, and tried CUSP-PDF, but neither seems to work in Mountain Lion. I am running Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and the most current version of both of these PDF print clone programs appears to be several years old, Snow Leopard era.
Any input on how I can convert the PDFs that are only openable in Adobe Reader to a non-editable format would be greatly appreciated. I can easily print them and then scan them back in, but the end result does not look professional and I would prefer to not have to do this.
Thank you,
Willis

I found another discussion that provided a solution:
CutePDF for Mac or other compatible software
For instrucitons on use see:

Look for the program CUPS-PDF.
"cups pdf is like cute pdf but for mac

after installing you need to go to settings, printer, add printer
full instructions here

pdfs go in /Users/Shared/CPS-PDF/{your account name}"
Thanks to Bob Harris and geagon.
Be sure to allow all software to be downloaded.
You have to locate the file where the prints are saved.
However you can put an alias up to it on your desktop.

Adobe Reader disables Save as PDF

I have been filling a few tax forms as I usually do every year. Once I was done I tried to save it as a pdf, as I have always done. But I find that Adobe Reader has disabled saving as pdf!
Let me explain that when I say before I was able to do that, I mean I was able to use Adobe Reader on Windows to fill in the forms, and the print was captured by a PDF printer such as CutePDF or PdfCreator. I thought when I switched to Mac that I would never have to deal with those virtual printers since the functionality is built in on the OS.
I have a couple of questions about this:
1) Why on earth does Mac OS allow a third-party program to mess with a basic OS function? Isn't Acrobat crossing a line by doing that?
2) Is there any way to block Acrobat from blocking the save as PDF function?
3) If not, what alternative do you suggest to save filled forms?
To question 3), saying that (a) you are not supposed to be able to save those anyway is bull (b) use Preview is a no go, since many forms I have seen are misaligned/missing fields/plain unworkable with in Preview, (c) install a pdf printer as in Windows (I actually tried this, the only one for Mac OS I could
find was cups-pdf, and despite what it says on the website it does NOT work on
Snow Leopard).
So, there. I guess that for the time being I have to keep a Windows machine
around to fill in pdf forms. But I find it downright outrageous that an OS
as secure (according to advertising) as Mac OS allows any program to just mess
with its internals like that. Who knows what else they will do next with that
type of access?

Adobe owns PDF. When you create a PDF file in Adobe Acrobat (the pay-for-it product), you can choose to allow the user to save the file after filling the form fields. You can also control if printing or saving is allowed.
Most files you find on the web are not modifiable. You are expected to print them out on paper and then fill them out by hand. This includes tax forms. This includes my State Farm claim forms! This includes my Mathematica activation request! For Apple to include editing of all PDF docs with the OS, they would have to pay Adobe a licensing fee.
Only the paid for CutePDF allows editing. They purchased a license. PDFCreator only allows reading/printing, pretty much the same as the free Reader. My Windows favorite is the same way: The free version of Foxit can not edit. The version that does edit costs $100.
Our college solved the problem by buying one copy of Adobe Acrobat and installed it on a common faculty computer. As we seldom need to edit files, it's pretty easy to sit down and get it done when necessary.
Don't you just love expensive proprietary software?
typos
I am not talking about editing a PDF. I am talking about a fillable form, which I am allowed to fill in, but I cannot save the filled form as a plain pdf (on Mac, as I could do in Windows for free with Adobe Reader and a pdf printer).

Print Adobe Form AND Save a PDF file

Hi Experts
We have a situation where I need to print the output of an Adobe Form (printing only, it is not dynamic) that is generated during the dispatch process. In this case it is a Picking slip, but the same will apply to other documents. Currently, this works well - the output is produced and sent to the correct printer.
A new requirement by the business is that they need an audit copy of this document. This document needs to be saved in a certain folder on a file server. I know I can do this by using the getPDF setting of SFPOUTPUTPARAMS, and I have done it before for other applications.
However (and this is the question!), it seems that when I set getPDF, the print output does not appear anymore. Can anyone explain to me how to produce BOTH print output and a file copy of the PDF at the same time please?
Thanks
Casper

Using javascript to save a pdf to a different directory and generating a new filename based on form fields in the document.

I have built the following script in an attempt to create a submit button that will automatically save the document in a different directory on my computer. It will also use the form field data "customer" and "date" to generate the filename. I printed out the variable myPath and it looks like it printed the correct string. I keep getting the following error:
TypeError: redeclaration of const path
any help would be much appreciated.
var customer = this.getField("Customer").value;
var date = this.getField("Date").value;
var path = "C:/Users/awilliams/My Documents/Test/"
var reg = date.match(/(\d+)\/(\d+)\/(\d+)/);
var myPath= "C:/Users/awilliams/My Documents/Test/" + customer + "_" + reg[1] + "." + reg[2] + "." +
reg[3] + ".pdf";
this.saveAs(myPath);

"path" is a keyword within a PDF you should not use keywords as a name for any other object as a general rule.
Have you checked the PDF Reference to see how to create a file path name within a PDF, 3.10.1 File Specification Strings page 118?
Did you carefully read the Acrobat JavaScript Reference for the saveAs method?
The notes following the description:
Note: This method can only be executed during a batch or console event. See Privileged versus non-privileged context for details. The event object contains a discussion of JavaScript events.
(Adobe Reader S): This method is available in Adobe Reader for documents that have Save usage rights.

How to set up Adobe Printer to save .pdf in folder

Good morning.
I am looking for guidance on how one can set up a virtual "adobe" printer that saves a print job as a .pdf in a specific shared folder.
Example:
1. External application creates a print job
2. Print job goes to a pre-named, virtual printer.
3. The virtual printer accepts the print job
4. The print job is turned into a .pdf document and the document is saved in a shared folder.
Additionally, can the naming convention of the saved folders be "dynamic"? In this scenario, a print job named "ABC123" is saved as "ABC123.PDF" and another print job named "XXX900" is saved as "XXX900.pdf", etc.
Appreciate the help.
medina

Yes.
Ideally it would be installed on the application server where the job is generated and sent to the specified printer (internal settings). Then when the job hits the printer it drops a .pdf in a shared folder.
Appreciate the help.

"Save as pdf" generates corrupt pdfs

Hello everybody,
I have a problem with the "save as pdf" option in the printing menu. When generating the pdf for a document which contains bitmapped embedded images, the actual images in the pdf file are corrupt when opened on a windows/linux machine with the latest version of acrobat reader.
If I open the document on a mac, either with preview or with acrobat, it looks fine. The problem seems to be the compatibility of the generated pdf with the windows/linux version of acrobat reader.
Moreover, the problem happens randomly when printing either from Pages or Keynote, so I think it is not an application-dependent issue. I tried also to save as pdf-X but this does not solve the problem.
Some idea on how to fix this compatibility issue on the Tiger's internal pdf generator?
Thank you very much,
Vittorio

Stuck files in the queue sounds like a problem I had with Acrobat X. The
10.0.1 patch broke the Adobe PDF printer, so that it tried to use the
COM1: port, instead of the Documents or Desktop port. (You can check for
this by right-clicking the Adobe PDF printer, choosing "Printer
Properties," then selecting the "Ports" tab.) In fact, it deleted those
ports! (Here's a link to that problem:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/893/cpsid_89330.html). The result was PDFs that
would not print, and would be left stuck in the printer queue. The fix
was to delete the Adobe PDF printer, then run the Acrobat repair option
to regenerate it. You might want to do this. Following are the
directions for Windows 7. Windows XP instruction are included at the
link above.
          *Windows Vista (UAC on, nonadmin user), Windows 7 (UAC on,
          admin user)*
1. Close all PDF files.
2. Go to Printers and Faxes (Windows XP), Printers (Vista) or Devices
    and Printers (Windows 7).
3. Right-click the Adobe PDF printer and click Delete (Windows XP,
    Vista) or Remove Device (Windows 7).
4. Enter the admin credentials. This step deletes the Adobe PDF printer.
5. Go to Programs and Features (Vista and Windows 7).
6. Select Adobe Acrobat X Pro or Standard and click Change.
7. Select Repair and follow instructions to complete repair.**
By the way, I don't think this was mentioned earlier, but another cause
of problems with PDF generation is having more than one installation
and/or version of Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or the PDF creation add-on that
comes with FrameMaker installed simultaneously. If you have Acrobat, you
should NOT have Adobe Reader or the PDF creation add-on installed on the
same computer, and you should have only one version of Acrobat installed.

"This is an Adobe Illustrator file that was save without PDf content."

I have a client that has been working on a file in AI CS, never left his machine, but when he went to open it today he gets a message that says this file "was generated by a newer version of Illustrator. Would you like to import this file? Some data loss may occur".
And when we click the "Import" button, we then get:
"This is an Adobe® Illustrator® file that was saved without PDF content. To place or open this file in other applications, it should be re-saved from Adobe Illustrator with the "Create PDF Compatible File" options turned on. This option is in the Illustrator Native Format Options dialog box, which appears when saving an Adobe Illustrator file using the Save As command."
However, even though this was created in AI CS, all other machine and all other versions of AI (even CS3, 3.3, 2, etc..) we get the same exact error message. How it can be newer than CS 3.3 when it was created in CS is strange to begin with.
I assume this is some sort of corruption, but was wondering if there were any cures. It seems our backups have backed up this file in it's current state (corrupt), which is a huge issue at this point.
Thank you very much for any help!

I have sometimes had this trouble since I updated Acrobat.
"This is an Adobe® Illustrator® file that was saved without PDF content ..."
Not sure what's wrong - it seems to happen even though the Illy file is saved with PDF content and everything embedded.
Another thing: When viewing pdfs under Advanced>Print Production>Output Preview I repeatedly get an RGB simulation preview even though I know that the file is CMYK. So I have to choose a CMYK simulation preview and then things look o.k.
Is there any way to stop the RGB preview coming up? I note that Convert Colours messes things up completely, so it's only the preview that's wrong.
Any ideas, Wade?

How do I save a PDF as an excel file when the PDF is horizontal. Adobe tries to rotate the page, but the data is entered in an horizontal format.

How do I save a PDF as an excel file when the PDF is horizontal. Adobe tries to rotate the page, but the data is entered in an horizontal format.

Thanks for the quick reply. I figured out how to get the desired results by using tagging. For anyone who may reference this post in the future, I went to "Customize" in the top right corner of Adobe, then selected "Create new tool set...", looked under "accessiblity and found the "tag" option. Hit ok, tag is added to the toolbar. Then I highlighted the dataset in the PDF that was relevant to the output format, then clicked "tag", saved as spreadsheet. Sorry I can't provide more details on how tagging works or if there's a more elegant solution available, but I'm sure one's out there.

How do I save a pdf in Adobe Reader XI (11.0.06)?

Does anyone know how to save a pdf now from Adobe Reader? If I try to save now it gives me the option of either save to online account or to Acrobat.com but neither of those work when I want to attach the pdf to an e-mail. The only place I can see the pdf is on the Mac that I'm working from. It cannot be accessed by anybody I send it to despite them all having Adobe Reader. I'm sure this wasn't the way it was before and this is driving me insane now. So many hours spent on what should be a really simple task
Thanks

I've never found technology to make life easier. It mainly offers the promise (often unfulfilled) of making it cheaper or quicker. This didn't happen when the Girl Guides put a form in an envelope and posted it. But they probably laid off the person whose job that was with the promise of everything being easy on the internet.
PDF has, curiously, become a victim of its own success. A few years ago, you could say to people "You need Adobe Reader" and it was the only serious game in town. So they got it and it works. Now everyone is making their own PDF reader for whatever reason, fewer and fewer people can be sure of having Reader. (PDF readers come at least with every Mac, every Windows 8 system, Chrome and FireFox, which covers a LOT of ground).
This is coupled with a bizarre decision Adobe made a few years ago to have two kinds of form, one of which all the other software fails with (and, as I noted, even Adobe's own software on iPad and Android fails). This was a neat idea which was designed for big corporations. Then the really big mistake: giving everyone with Acrobat the tools to make these new kinds of form, and making it seem they were preferre or the only game in town. This is finished now (Acrobat 11 doesn't include this big boy's software) but the damage is done, oh how it is done.
Even regular forms tend to only work properly in real Adobe Reader. The fact is, if you make or distribute PDF forms you need to tell people to use Adobe Reader, and to know exactly how to help them do that. If people can't do that or their users won't be motivated to bother, then PDF forms are no longer a suitable choice. Sad but true.

Save a pdf file without Adobe automatically adding "-Copy" to the end

How can I save a pdf file without Adobe automatically adding "-Copy" to the end of file name?

If you have actually made any changes (e.g. adding a Sticky Note or filling out forms), the Save button will appear in the bottom toolbar. It will save it as the same name.
"- Copy" is added only when you tap/click the Save As button. You can change it to something else, if you'd like.

How to save filled PDF in adobe reader 9.0

Can you please tell me how to save filled PDF in adobe reader 9.0 with all the filled details

You cannot buy 8 or 9.
In X (10 - which you can't buy either), you can do File > Save as > Reader Extended PDF > Enable additional features.
Important notes:
1. KEEP THE ORIGINAL. Once rights are added many kinds of editing are permanently locked out.
2. THERE ARE STRICT LIMITS on the number of people who can save a form. Details in the EULA: check it carefully (or have a lawyer check it).
Also note that Reader XI can save forms with no special preparation.

I adobe acrobat 7.0 professional. When I open or save a PDF it reverts to Adobe Reader XI. How can I change that to the pro as it has far more editing options.

You may want to keep Reader. You may want to select Acrobat as your default, but be able to click on a PDF (or PDF link) to open in Reader when needed. There are likely some PDFs that will not open correctly in AA 7 because of new features folks add. Just because it opens in Reader XI does not mean it is in the new format, but just that is the default opening you have. To tell the type of file, you have to open the PDF and check the properties (ctrl-D) and check Description>PDF version.

Impossible to save a pdf file with Adobe Reader 9.1.3

I have the same problem, I recently had to buy a new computer, it uses windows vista and when I went to my financial institution to download my statements I could no longer save the pdf forms. This is something I did monthly when I was on my windows xp machine. When I tried the save as button in the adobe page the button was there and you could click it but nothing happened after that. I upgraded reader to version 9.2 and tried but this time the save as button was no longer there. I went to another machine which had version 9.1 and vista, the button was there but would not function. My bank says I should be able to save the form and the save as button was not greyed out.
Under document properties it says
