Adobe reader hangs forever on save

I downloaded following form:
http://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/portal/downloads/itr/ITR2_Version1.0.pdf
After filling it or say even after filling one entry if I try to save the form (ctrl-s), Adobe Reader seems to hang forever.
Initially it shows lots of harddisk activity for 4-5 mins and after that harddisk activity stops but it keeps on using CPU to almost 100%. And then (after waiting for 10mins) I killed it.
The file was not modified at all even after 10mins.
I use Adobe Reader 7.0.8 (tar.gz) for Linux on FC6. Can someone confirm if same happens with 7.0.9 as I am not allowed to download/install it.
Do I have to apply any patch? Any idea when Adobe Reader 8.1 for Linux be launched?
Thanks in advance.

Ctrl-S saves directly on same file which was opened hence obviously it wont show 'Save As' dialogue box. But it doesnt suspend for sure as otherwise it wont show lots of harddisk activity.
I even tried File-Exit or Ctrl-Q. I even tried File-Close (Ctrl-W). In both cases it asked me to Save file or not. I clicked Yes and again after lots of harddisk activity nothing happened. Harddisk activity stopped after sometime but CPU was still used continuously. Reader simply hanged with gray window.
Just now I tried same form on one FC2 machine and there too same problem occured. Waited for about 10mins.
Were you able to save with same form?
Thanks for your quick response.

  • Adobe Reader XI did not save the form data (unlike previous versions). Any way to recover file?

    Adobe Reader XI did not save the form data (unlike previous versions). Any way to recover filled form with data from temp locations?
    I was not aware that ctrl+s no longer works in reader and closed the PDF after savign it(with ctrl+s). However ,the data is lost and there seems to be no way to recover it.
    I cannot find any temp files created by Reader on my system.
    Also to my surprize(and shock), the reader did not even show a warning before closing the PDF. Does anybody know if/where can I recover the file from?
    Guys, Please reply ASAP if you have got any sort of solution!

    Hi Pat,
    Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
    I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
    I guess I should not have updated the reader.

  • Adobe Reader hangs after opening a PDF file for a minuet

    Adobe Reader hangs after opening a PDF file for a minuet

    Pat. Thanks for your promote reply. I have resolved the issue.
    Closing the tools pane at the right side:
    open Adobe Reader without opening a PDF file
    collapse 'Tools' pane
    then open some PDF
    It shouldn't hang anymore

  • I Created a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat X.  Adobe Reader cannont print or save it?

    I work for a foodservice company with different locations.  Each location has Adobe Reader.  I created a pdf form for each site to fill out, save and print for postings ect...  They keep getting a printing error.  "The document could not be printed"  after that it says "No pages selected to print".  They also are not allowed to save the file???  I want them to be able to print and save copies.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    You need to disable that preference in the individual users versions on Reader, not your version of Acrobat.

  • Why won't Adobe Reader X let me save PDFs?

    This all started fairly recently, like within the last few weeks.
    If I hit save when I am in Adobe Reader X, it does nothing.
    Scenario 1: Online
    If I view the docuemnt within my browser, then click on the icon at the bottom that says Save, nothing happens.
    Scenario 2: Offline
    If I view a document i have on my hard drive, I can view it fine, but if I highlight something, then save, it says "where do you want to save it" and "are you sure you want to overwrite?" and then nothing happens.  If I then attempt to close it, it will say "Do you want to save it?" then the other two questions and then nothing happens.  I have to "Revert" then close if I want to close the document.
    Per a previous thread that semed to be abruptly cut short on exactly the same topic, i tried their solutions as well:
    Right clicking on a link to a file online, and saving works just fine.
    However there was no response from the original asker after those steps, and that didn't help me.
    Any thoughts?

    I've seen the same behavior - floating toolbar save button or main toolbar save button ineffective even though enabled.  Win 7, 64 bit + Firefox.  Very frustrating when trying to save local copies of financial statements, etc.  I did find a workaround that hasn't failed me yet:  with a problem document open in the viewer:
    Try to save (Ctrl+Shift+S OR floating toolbar OR main toolbar).  If it fails ...
    Click print (tried both floating or main toolbar, assumbe Ctrl+Shift+P would work too)
    When the print dialog window appears, cancel
    Try save again.
    Works now!

  • Adobe Reader XI slow for "save as" option

    I upgraded Adobe Reader on our Server 2008 R2 RDS server, and when a thin client user opens a PDF from an email, then does the "Save as" option, it takes 15-30 seconds for the window to come up.  One department may do this 30 times a day when busy, and it's getting frustrating.  Please help me help my users.
    Thanks!

    It appears as if your printer drive has defaulted to print to file, hence the save as dialog box. If you uncheck this option it should work as expected.

  • Adobe Reader hangs

    I'd be interested to know why your software couldn't go to Reader DC, since it's just the reader and not doing any writing. Reader XI was bloated in my opinion and they fixed a lot of issues with DC. Since you uninstalled and reinstalled, I'm assuming you used the latest XI installer and made sure it was fully patched? Just want to make sure you're not using an old installer.

    We are using Adobe reader XI (can't go to DC yet we have software that doesn't support using DC).We currently have a wide spread problem that I was recently made aware of. Reader will hang the whole PC for 20-30 seconds the first time in a boot cycle thata user clicks in a textbox within a PDF. It doesn't happen at launch, you could read the whole document with no hangs, but as soon as you click in a textbox, the whole system hangs. This seems like a plugin problem, but for the life of me I can't seem to figure this out. It happens on all different processor types, RAM capacities, and architecture, though all Win7. I can't narrow it down. Acrobat seems only mildly affected (maybe 3 seconds hang but usually just a quick hiccup)I have nuked Reader from multiple workstations and reinstalled, but to no avail. Once that initial hang is...

  • Adobe Reader hangs on first print of the day

    When I try to print from Adobe Reader for the FIRST time every day, the PC hangs for 30 seconds. It'll then unfreeze and continue to print.
    All subsequent docuemtns that day print with no problems immediately.
    I have a small domain based network (SBS2003) and my workstation is Win7Pro.
    This problem started some time ago and a recent update to 10.1.7 hasn't resolved it.
    Any ideas?

    The drivers are up to date.
    I've just realised (doh!) that the printer isn't actually on the network, but has a direct USB connection to the w/station.
    The problem is only with Adobe reader, just the first print of the day from Adobe. If the first print of the day is from Word that prints OK, but if the second is from Adobe it still hangs (becasue it's the first rpint from Reader). At first I thought Reader was trawling across the internet for some reason, maybe checking in with Adobe.
    I'm baffled. I've tried uinstalling and reinstalling Reader as well!

  • Adobe reader hanging for a few seconds after opening, what's the cause?

    Hello, I have the following problem: I open a pdf file in Adobe Reader and initially it woks fine, I can navigate and so on, but after about 20 s it suddenly gets like frozen so that I can do nothing but wait until when after about 15 s it recovers and I can continue reading and moving around. It is just an annoyance since it happens every time I open a document. I have installed several actualizations (icluding the last one) of the program but the problem is still there. It is like if some conflictive process starts shortly after the openning and after it finnishes the program works fine again. I have looked in the tasks administrator to see if I find some parallel process that may start itself but as far as I can see nothing more starts after AcroRd32.exe.
    Some idea?
    Thank you in advance

    If you have a packet sniffing tool like Fiddler or Wireshark, could just see if Reader is trying to access something on network?

  • Adobe reader hangs (no response) after opening

    I have tried both versions 10 and 11.  Either one will hang after the program opens with or without a file to read.  It appears to be trying to access something (the internet?) but never completes that op and will not respond to any command after that.  I am running windows 7 and I have current Java installed as well.  Uninstalling and reinstalling from different reader source sites did not help.

    That may be the actual problem (trying to access files that are no longer on a connected drive at program startup) since the reader page
    shows several recently opened documents, some on a flash drive which I no longer have available. Reducing the number of documents recently used to 1 sounds like a good workaround except that my Reader X will not open at all. It never times out in its search for files to
    check (if that's what it is doing) so I can't get to edit preferences.
    Note: this program is supposed to be a universal tool to use freely. As such, it should be simple enough to be bullet proof and always work ..... like a sonic screwdriver, when you need it you really need it to work! As it is now, I do not want to see any new PDF documents. If I have to open one, I go to one of the other PDF reader programs. Even with all their bugs and ********, they do work on MOST files. Way better that Adobe. I wish I had paid for Reader just so I could call them up and cuss them out for selling such junk.
    Oh and thanks for the tip anyway, mea culpa.

  • Adobe Reader X does not save signed copy after hitting "Done Signing"

    Version 10.1.6
    When I click "Done Signing" after adding my signature to a signed document, I get the warning about the added text being permanently merged, then the "Save As" dialog comes up, but the file is never saved, regardless of whether I renamed the file or not.
    I naively spent over an hour filling out forms and "saving" the results, in the belief that the program was saving my filled out forms just because it said it was.  I'll have to be more careful in the future.

    When you "save as" as opposed to simply "save", there is sometimes a different location for the file to be saved. When you "save as" to the same location as an original, you will bewarned that a file already exists with that name and be asked if you're sure you want ot overwrite the original file. If you didn't see that when "saving as", you probably saved the signed file to a different location.

  • Adobe reader 9.3 cannot save pdf.

    Trying to save a pdf when I click on disk on top of reader no pop up comes asking where I want to save.  How can I fix this issue?

    There is a free tool from Microsoft that will allow you to save a word file as a PDF.
      Do some looking and you should find it.  With reader you can print PDFs
    , but you cant edit or save them.  You still need a printer to print them to.

  • Adobe reader x: how to save

    Hi,
    I am fresh user of reader x. I have a pdf save problem.
    When I open a pdf file through Internet explorer there is no possibillity to "Save as ...". I can save it only pressing the Save icon but I don't know the default save location. Can anyone help how to find saved pdf file or how to do "Save as ..."?
    Thanks!

    If I open a pdf file previously saved on my hard disc I can
    find the location in Description - Location. However, if I download
    a pdf through Internet explorer there is no Location in Description. Insted the location there is an empty row.
