Adobe Reader X save issue

I have a user that can save 4-5 times without issue. However after that, the program won't allow him to save, he then needs to exit adobe reader and then re-open it to save files. He deals with large volumes of .PDF documents. Does anyone have a solution for this?

What exactly means "won't allow"?

  • Use Adobe Reader to Save Form Data

    I use Acrobat 8 Professional to create several forms and enabled usage rights in Adobe Reader so that my users can save the form data locally using Adobe Reader 7 or higher. My questions are: (1.)Is there a limit to saving the form data? For example, the form can only be save 500 times per form or is it unlimited. (2.)If there is a limit to saving the form like 500 times, can the same form be recreated and the limit of 500 starts all over again? (3.)Do I need to purchase a license to save these form data? (4.)How many forms can have enable usage rights in Adobe Reader per Adobe Acrobat professional? The reason why i'm asking these questions is because I want to be in compliance with the Adobe license. My users don't have Adobe Acrobat Professional, but would like to use Adobe Reader to save the form data.

    >(1.)Is there a limit to saving the form data?
    It is my understanding that you can harvest data from a form 500 times whether that be from one user of 500 users.
    >(2.)If there is a limit to saving the form like 500 times, can the same form be recreated and the limit of 500 starts all over again
    You'd probably be walking on thin ice by trying that. Could be a loophole but maybe not.
    >(3.)Do I need to purchase a license to save these form data?
    Not if you stay within the limit that is stated in the EULA.
    >(4.)How many forms can have enable usage rights in Adobe Reader per Adobe Acrobat professional?
    Different forms? As far as I know there is no limit to the amount of different forms you use.
    In my opinion, if you think you are going to go anywhere near the limitations of the EULA, consult with your attorney before proceeding. The form enabling function was never intended for large business use. Adobe has another, more costly, solution for that.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Adobe Reader 9 - access issue

    I have the latest Reader: but I find I cannot access PDF documents from saved emails & directly from My Documents - I get the message 'H:\programme files\Adobe\Reader9.0\Eula.exe Windows cannot access the specified path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item' I am computer administrator.
    I have Windows SP3
    I use ZoneAlarm Pro & anti-virus (just in case this might be relevant)
    Can anyone assist with an explanation & solution?

    re Adobe Reader 9 access issue, 20 Dec
    It appears this is not an Adobe Reader issue at all. I have had the same trouble downloading an update to an unrelated programme.
    The solution appears to be in ZoneAlarm Pro - I have set the trust level and access permissions for Internet Explorer to 'super trusted' and 'allow' (programme control - programmes), and this seems to have worked.
    Other forums point the finger at restrictions in IE7 Enhanced Security feature, and to similar restrictions in some anti-virus/anti spyware programmes. Also, some .exe files for download come automatically blocked, & need unblocking (right-click the .exe, choose properties, then general tab, where there is an 'unblock' button at the bottom.

  • Adobe Reader X save location issue

    Hi All, i would like to seek expert helps on Adobe Reader save location issues. After we upgrade from Adobe Reader 9 to Adobe Reader X.
    There are changes on how save location works in Adobe Reader X
    If save PDF via Internet Explorer – the save location will according to last save location, HOWEVER
    If save PDF via Adobe Reader X – the save location will set according to location the file is being open
    Let me show you what i mean over the pictures
    I open a reader_X_help.pdf using Adobe Reader X and then save the file using Ctrl+Shift+S at: C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\My last location save
    refer my last save location.jpg
    Now i want to save another new file back to C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\My last location save, I open the file Adobe file2.pdf located at desktop and when i do Ctrl+Shift+S, the location point to my desktop and not C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\My last location save
    refer my last save location change to desktop.jpg
    I have tested this features in Adobe Reader 9 and it's different whereby it's will point according to my last location save.
    There is no issue with computer as i have 3 machine running different enviroment, Windows XP SP3, Windows 7 Enterprise, and all using same version of Adobe Reader X version 10.0.1.
    So my questions & concern:
    Is there any way to change the save location features same as Adobe Reader 9?
    If YES, how to do it? By Computer Changes or Adobe Reader X packages modification using Adobe Customization tools?
    If NO, Where can i find this source of documentation stated about this new changes so i can publish this information in HP website as new design changes to avoid complaint or negative feedback.
    Looking forward for expert reply as soon.
    Thank you very much and Have a great day.

    Solved it!
    1-go to "edit", select Preferences.
    2-select from the left pane: Security (enhanced)
    3-click on "add folder path" button just below the big white box
    4-pick a folder of your choice and click "ok". (your selected folder path will appear in that white box above the "add folder path" button in step 3)
    5-if you want to add additional folders, just repeat steps 3 & 4
    6-once you are done, click "ok" on the preferences screen and click "ok" again to accept the changes.
    Yes, it seems illogical, but it worked.
    I tested by closing the Reader (X), then surfed the web and did what Neher5 was explaining he/she wanted to do just after opening a pdf from a website and lo-and-behold,  it worked!. No more "save to temp folder" issues.
    Hope this helps.

  • Adobe Reader XI - Save button not enabled in Firefox 19, 20, 21

    This problem only seems to occur in Firefox. IE9 and Chrome 20+ seem to behave properly. We have customers complaining that they are having a difficult time figuring out how to save PDF files from our scientific research web application. While, cntrl-shift-s and File->Save As are still available to them, they are confused that the "Save" icon that appears on the reader is greyed out.
    I had read the following blog post concerning the problem involving URLs with over 259 characters.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/dmcmahon/page/3/
    While our URLs are long and they are cgi-based in format, they didn't quite make it to 259 characters.
    I took our code base and created a very short path-based URL, removing special characters, such as periods and hyphens from the file name, and making sure that the tail of the URL contained the name of the pdf file, and the save icon was still greyed out.
    Installing Adobe Reader 9.5, and 10.0.4 seemed to exhibit the same behavior in Firefox.
    Are there currently any known issues with how Adobe Reader behaves with Firefox?
    Are there any possible work-arounds?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the screenshot, Pat. I think the light bulb went off for me. I was looking over the tips for configuring Firefox at the link:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html
    And I think what confused me the most was this screen shot for plug-ins for Firefox mentioned Acrobat.
    I had Acrobat installed myself, but most of our users do not use Acrobat, since it's not a free product. I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat, and the Adobe Acrobat plug-in was still there, so that forced me to realize that the plug-in that comes with Adobe Reader 11.0.3 is called "Adobe Acrobat".
    I went into Tools->Options->Applications and selected "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)", rather than "Use Adobe Reader (default)".
    This now allows me to not only view PDFs within a browser window in Firefox, but it also enables the save icon (which "Use Adobe Reader (default)" was not allowing me to do:
    It's a shame that the default setting is not for "in browser", because our customers may have to make a configuration change.
    There is no way to programmatically force a configuration change on a user's browser, is there?

  • Adobe Reader/Acrobat forms issues!

    This is a long one, and I know it's been posted before, but I just wanted to try again anyway.
    I've just created a form using Adobe Designer, one that contains fields that someone can fill out when the form is open with Adobe Reader. The form I've created specifically is for a medical practice, and the first few fields are the doctor's last name, first name, and middle initial. Is there any way that, when I click Save As, a file name is automatically created in the Save As box that contains the last name, first name, and middle initial? I'd like the file name to look like this: LastName-FirstNameMiddleInitial.
    Also, this is a form that the people who work at this practice will be using regularly. After the doctor's name fields are a few fields for the date, time in, and time out. Right now, we'd like the date to look like this: 07-16-2008. We'd also like the time in and time out to look like this: 12:00. I'd like it so that, if some data entry person at this medical clinic is tying in the date, and, say, they type in the date as 07/16/2008, it is automatically formatted to 07-16-2008 with the hyphens. Same with the time. Everyone types things in differently, and I'd love to know what I need to do so that it's automatically converted to the date/time design I listed above.
    The form also contains an electronic signature field. The purpose of the signature field is mainly to expand on the services we offer in terms of going paperless. We want to help our clients STAY paperless, which means preventing the need to print off more paper. This form I'm working on is for a medical practice and is simply a doctor's form, with field for the doctor's name, date/time, a field for any info the doctor would like to input, and then the electronic signature field.
    After the PDF is created, it is more than likely saved, which presents other problems, as I've now learned you can't save with Adobe Reader.
    As far as looking up data on the form in the future is concerned, I'm pretty sure that's a big yes. I don't know that this particular PDF would be updated constantly, but I'm sure it will need to be retrieved at some point. How can the data be inputed so it can be retrieved from a database?
    I've heard some talk about JavaScript in regards to this issue, as well. How exactly do I go about providing JavaScript? I know how to create a button in Designer, but I've had little experience with JavaScript. I've downloaded a program (PF Merge?) that might allow me to link the form I've created to a database, but I'm not sure how it works yet. Is that what you were referring to as far as our comments about an SQL database is concerned? Is there another way I can create a connection to a database, say, a slightly easier way?
    Help!

    Interesting.  I did just do the Reduce File Size and extended the document and there were no dialog boxes when I saved my data.  The file size got larger instead of smaller and I received the message at the end of the Reduce File Size cycle that said " Enforcement of compatability to an earlier version of Acrobat has increased the size of some images".  There is an image in the file, not one that I added, but from the original document.  No change to the image either.  No biggie to me.  As long as my users can fill out the form and come back to it later to make changes, I'm happy!
    Thank you.  I think that solved it!

  • Adobe reader opens "save as" box when clicking on save button rather than saving in the same file

    Hi everybody,
    I have a fillable PDF form designed in Livecycle designer and it is reader extended. When I fill that form on MAC it let me fill and save the form as many times as I like. Everytime I make any change I just click the save button it saves changes in the same form. BUT is is behaving differently on Windows. After filling the form out when I click on save button it opens up "Save as " dialogue box to save a new copy with those changes. I have Adobe reader XI and Adobe Acrobat XI installed on windows. I know I can do that with Acrobat but I want that in reader for users who dont have acrobat.
    Please help me.....
    Thanks

    What are you filling out the form with on the MAC?

  • 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.
    For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit http://www.adobe.com/go/acrreader.
    Windows is either a registered trademark or a trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries. Mac is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the United States and other countries. Linux is the registered trademark of Linus Torvalds in the U.S. and other countries.
    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

  • Adobe Reader XI 'Save As' creating blank pdfs

    Hi All,
    I am using an application from which a report is generated as a PDF file using Component One - VSReport, VSPrinter and VSPDF.
    This report PDF is automatically created in a shared folder and it is displayed once it is created.
    I can do 'Save As' and create a local copy.
    1. Adobe Reader Settings were: Enable Protected Mode At Start Up > Disabled and Enhanced Protection (Protection Renforcee in French) selected.
         Saved local copies are coming as blank.
    2. I fixed this by changing from Disabled to All Files for Enable Protected Mode At Start Up.
         This created the correct copy. But if I try to open this copy using Internet Explorer, security error is coming:
          les paramètres de sécurité actuels ne vous permettent pas de télécharger ce fichier 
         I am using French machine and the english translation is: the current security settings do not allow you to download this file
         If I right click on the copy and take Properties, unblock button is present and if I unblock manually it is accessable from Internet Explorer.
         But I need this copy to be unlocked after Save As.
    3. If I uncheck the 'Enable protected mode at start up', copy created using 'Save As' is not blocked.
         But after Save As, below errors are thrown:
         French:
         donnees insuffisantes pour une image
         cette page contient une erreur. acrobat risque de ne pas afficher cette page correctement. contactez l'auteur du document PDF pour resoudre le probleme
         English Translation
         insufficient data for an image
         This page contains an error. Acrobat may not display this page correctly. contact the author of the PDF document to solve the problem
    Please help with Adobe Reader XI settings.
    It has been given like Insufficient data for an image is fixed in Adobe Reader XI, but not at all.

    Could anybody tell me how to remove this "Highlight Field Button" from the Adobe Reader 9? (either by writing a script or by disabling from the Adobe Reader 9 features or any special things I need to consider)
    If there is a problem understanding the issue then please let me know.

  • 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?

    We had a similar problem.
    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).

  • Adobe Reader X - Print Issues

    Hi - I've searched the forums for a likely answer but came up with a blank.
    We have updated to Adobe Reader X and when we print a pdf, the actual words print as a series of randon numbers and letter. We print to an HP Photosmart All in One Printer. However when we print to a Cannon Printer, it's OK. Can anyone throw light on this for us as it's proving to be a nightmare.
    Cheers

    Thanks v much Twilight - once I had posted the question I saw the same issues were posted by another.
    I'll try the print as image under the advanced print tab and see how I get on with that. Hopefully Adobe will bring out a fix soon.
    Thanks again.

  • How to Modifying the Adobe Reader Default Save Location

    In Adobe Reader XI:  When I try to "Save As" a (.pdf) file [I was sent over the Internet] it automatically defaults to the Temporary Internet Files/Content.EI5/ (one of the many XYZABC folder).
    This means I have to press in many buttons and mouse moves to hunt for Libraries/Documents/My Document Files Location.
    I'd like to change that default folder to my own special folder (i.e.:  Libraries/Documents/My Documents.  How can I do this?
    As an alternate, is there an easy way to get to "My Documents" directory in one (1) click so I can pick the sub-directory I what to "Save As" the .pdf file?
    Thanks in advance to any answers I my get.

    Hi try76,
    Per your request: my OS is Windows 7 Pro,
    the computer is a Dell 457T (i7 x64 w/ 8 Gb memory),
    and The browser is Internet Explorer 11 (this may change to Foxfire).
    I hope I can do as you mentioned and "OS you can add a direct link to the Documents folder to the Places Bar on the left side of the Save dialog."
    Now I find the need for step-by-step instructions to do anything with computers - like a beginner.
    It seemed that Adobe Reader used to be able to "Save As" *.pdf files easier.
    As an aside:  I am an old guy, learned DOS and early Windows and was quite good at it and have forgotten much of it over the years.  Mostly because every time Microsoft has Upgraded their programs they take away parts I used and changed the menus so I can't find items I might want to use, as time went by I grew tired of re-learning how to use a program instead of being productive at work.  
    If your method of moving *.pdf files can be done with my OS and IE it will be greatly appreciative.
    Thanks in advance to any answers you give.
