As of today I am unable to save PDF files that are attachments of emails. Can you help?

The save as button is grey & unable to save any PDF file. This problem began today so can this be changed?

Tech support visits occasionally but for the most part it's just us fellow users.
In order to use just "save", you would have to make some changes to the pdf to be saved. If you have made no changes, can you use "Save as"?
Are these files being opened in Reader directly or are you opening them in a web browser using the Reader plug-in? What version of Reader?

Unable to save PDF's that have editable fields

I am unable to save forms that have editable fields. I get the error "The document could not be saved. The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files is full. Free some space on this disk and try again, or save to a different disk"
I am running windows xp, and started with reader 10.1.4 having this issue, now i upgraded to 11 and same results. My co workers can save the same form and i have over 80 gb of free space on my hard drive which is where i am saving it to. I have tried saving it to other locations on my hard drive but get the same message. I can however save pdf files that have no fillable forms in them just fine.
I could really use some help.
Thanks

Figured out prtected mode was set to enabled on startup. Turned that off and no more problems.

I cannot save PDF files that has a lock on the right hand side of the tab in safari iOS 5 from my iPad. Please help to find a solution.

Can someone help find a fix of how to save PDF files from safari in iOS 5.0.1? The PDF files show a lock on the right hand side of tab. Only these lock PDF cannot be save. Any help will be highly appreciated.

I assume that you have iBooks or GoodReader or Adobe Reader - some app that will open PDF files so my suggestion would be to start with the basic things, restart your iPad, reset it or quit Safari and restart.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
In order to close/quit apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off.
To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
The lock to the right side of the tab indicates that the website is secure - or at least that is what it looks like in Safai on my iPad. Sites with the https in the address have the lock icon in the tab, non secure sites - web pages without the https - do not have the lock icon. I'm not sure if that has any bearing on it - none of the PDF files that I have opened in Safari have the lock icon.
But if you can open the file - it doesn't make sense that it would be locked??? Try the basic suff and see if any of that helps.

Unable to save PDF files (sometimes?)

Hi All,
There are times when I'm working with Elements 6.0 that everything is working normally. I can play and adjust and save files to my little hearts desire. There are other times when I'll open a file, make my adjustments, save the file and when I go back to look at the saved file, there is no preview and I am unable to open it. The properties says it is not a PFD, just "1 File". Any clues as to why I am having this intermittent problem would be most appreciated. The picture you see here is from a file that Elements 6.0 says it does not recognize and there is no preview. But yet I can select it and preview it here. HELP!!!!
See attached....
Thank you

Firefox keep asking to open or save pdf files which are already in my disk.

Hi all,
Firefox build in function to open pdf files was working ok.
Lately when i try to open a .PDF file which is already in my disk i get a window asking me :
"What should firefox do with this file?
-Open with (firefox default)
-Save the file"
Since the .PDF is already in my disk , i want to open it but firefox keeps asking in that window so i have to cancel and a new blank tab stays there.
What should i do to open the .PDF file?
BTW,i tried to delete the mimetypes.rdf file as read on a message here in order to Reset download actions but in vain.
Thank you for your time reading this.

Hi cor-el,
I used your suggestions and i have the below results:
1.
"''You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications''"
This is not satisfactory because i don't want to use it.I just want the internal viewer for PDF's of Firefox.
2.
''"You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the about:config page to disable the build-in PDF viewer."''
I set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true and after firefox restart it kept opening empty tabs (weird)
3.
''"You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu."''
I did that and just keeps me asking in new tabs what to do with pdf (open or save)
Then i thought maybe another addon conflicted with firefox PDF viewer so i started it in safe mode.Tried to open a pdf and started to open empty tabs...
Finally i installed [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/pdfjs/ this] addon and pdf open ok now.
Still i had to use an addon to make them open.
It was running correctly with out add on.
Is there something else to try since i dont want addon?
Firefox pdf internal viewer was very satisfactory for me...
Thank you for your time reading this.

Does photoshop cs6 not save over files that are also open in cs5?

I started a project in CS5, saved it, left it open, then opened the same file in CS6. Then I started steadily working on the file in CS6 for about 20 minutes. I saved frequently while working in CS6. Then Photoshop crashed, I believe because I had several smart objects open at once. However, when I checked the file I had been saving, it was still in an identical state to when I stopped working on it in CS5. Not only that, but the "recovered file" was about 10 minutes behind in CS6.
This is really frustrating.

I don't know what went wrong for you but you are correct that it's normally possible for CS6 to save over a file that's open in CS5, and vice versa, and the same thing is possible with many other apps.
Furthermore, some apps watch for changes being made to a file which they have open and will automatically update the version of the file which they hold in memory with the modified version that another app has written to disc.
Of course, there are apps, databases for example, which do lock files which they have open.
None of that helps you, but just letting you know that you weren't wrong to expect your work to be saved.

When I open notepad files that are attachments from a webpage, is there anyway to have them open immediately every time rather than ask if I want to open/save and then having to click OK?

I have checked the "do this automatically" box and it makes no difference.

Try here:
Tools > Options > Applications
Enter JPEG into the search box and change any that say "Save file" to "Always ask".
Does it work?
Edit: Forgot one other relevant setting. On:
Tools > Options >General tab
pick "Always ask me where to save files"
All good now?

Unable to convert PDF files to Word; no confirmation email

I've paid for converting PDFs in to word documents but haven't received my confirmation email - its telling me that its sent - I still cannot convert?

Hi looloochick,
I just checked your account, and see that your subscription has been active since July 8. You should be able to log in and convert files. What happens when you try? And, are you logging in to the service from within Reader, or directly on the ExportPDF website? If you're using Reader, please make sure that you have the most current version by choosing Help > Check for Updates. Version 11.0.07 (the current version) alleviates a sign-in error that occurs with earlier versions.
Please let us know how it goes. If you are getting an error message when you try to sign in or convert, please let us know what it is, so we can point you in the right direction for a solution.
Best,
Sara

Unable to access pdf files which were previously accessable.

I have discovered a direcotry of PDF files that are archives of documents produced and accessable normally with even a reader version of Adobe. I have accessed these files easilly and without issue in the past. I have tried to access some of these documents today and they are all unaccessable.
They are located on a network drive in one directory and its subdirectories.

The message was
"Acrobat could not open ........ because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF"

Photoshop CC and CS6 wont save PDF files

I keep getting a program error when I try and save PDF files??

Good day!
Could you please post a screenshot to illustrate the issue?
What are your exact Photoshop version and OS?
What are the file’s Color Mode and bit depth?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

Software update failed how do I save the pictures that are on the phone?

software update failed how do I save the pictures that are on the phone?

You should have imported all pics taken with your iphone to your computer regularly as with any digital camera.
Did you fail to do this?
You would need to import them if you can.

Can't save PDF files on one PC

I have Windows Explorer 8 and Vista Home Premium 64 bit on two pcs. I can save all downloaded pdf files on one, but can't save my bank statements and credit card statments on the other. I can save pdf files that aren't from protected sites. I have installed all updates to no avail.
I can save my bank statements if I turn off the protected mode, but can't login to my credit card accounts with the protected mode off.
I am using Adobe Reader 9.3.3.177

I have Windows 7, but had the same problem. I contacted my bank and was told to right click on the first existing icon on the reader page. A drop-down box appeared with an extensive menu, including the "save to." Hope this helps you. I spend hours trying to figure it out to no avail.

Since the Maverick update I am unable to save any work that I do in CS6 software programmes on my mac

With the new update I am unable to save my work that I have done when using the CS6 software, this is a real problem as I need to be able to save any changes I do. I also can't search files on my USB when I go to file-open while in Photoshop, Illustrator or Indesign. Please help as this is a real issue and has only been happening since the new Maverick update.
Thanks, Julia.

Being that Adobe stopped supporting CS6 a while ago, that is likely not going to happen. They're trying to force everyone to use CC, which I heard is having troubles since Marvericks as well. At least they will get a free Adobe update.
This is incorrect information. Adobe has issued updates for several CS6 products since CC came out, consistent with their official statements that they will continue to support CS6, which they still sell new (though the links are hard to find on their store).
Photoshop released a 13.0.6 update for CS6 on Nov. 7, it would be a good idea to make sure you have gotten the latest version even though a save problem is not mentioned in the release notes. Maybe it'll help anyway.

As of today I am unable to save PDF files that are attachments of emails. Can you help?
