Can i save pdf files onto playbook?

is it possible to save pdf files onto the playbook? i tried downloading one from a website and it showed up in the active downloads from where i then opened it, but it didnt permanently save. i thought maybe the adobe reader could store it but it didnt. 
also, is it possible to transfer and save pdf files from a pc onto playbook? 
this was one of the major things i was hoping the playbook could do..may determine whether it's worth keeping

It's not through the Blackberry Desktop Software that I am transferring PDFs, Word, Excel files onto the Playbook; only media synching is supported at this time by that means. I did it on my PC through Windows Explorer, ie. the normal box you open on your computer when you click on "documents" and see the contents of your computer folders. There, in the left panel if you go down you see "computer", and click on it to display sub-folders, it should show the "Playbook" if you have a good USB connection. If you click on that PlayBook icon you will then see folders of the Playbook, including documents. That's where I pasted the documents, and they were then available to read and edit on the Playbook through Word to Go, Adobe Reader, etc. 
The problem then (which other strings discuss) is that while you can paste in a set of documents organized in folders with sub-folders, the Playbook only sees the documents as being in a single folder. They apparently will still retain their organization though I haven't checked that.
There is no way to synchronize in the way that DataViz Documents to Go does on the smartphones, and to me that is a big omission that RIM needs to take care of soon, or more specifically DataViz who I believe RIM owns now. The technology has been there for around 10 years. On my Palm I used to synchronize documents from my PC onto my Palm, work on various documents there, then when I synched again all the changes would automatically update on the documents on my PC. The only way to do this now is manually copy back from the Playbook to the PC, which is only OK if you are just working on one document.

    Yes. But it depends on what "cloud" yuo are referring to. Perhaps you should explain what you are attempting or want to do in a little more detail.

  • HT5925 Can I save pdf files on iCloud?

    Can I save pdf files on iCloud?

    I installed a PDF reader.
    It allows attaching pdf files to my iPod and synching with iTunes.
    But I don't use iCloud, still. I do all backups local to iTunes library.
    However, it should work no matter where or what IF you have files attached to an app that allows files.
    When I make changes to files attached to apps, they change and show under iTunes - tried renaming a file on the computer and changed on iPod.

    Hit the link for the PDF-you will be given option to open in safari or iBooks(or any other program able o open PDFs).
    That's not what she asked about.  She asked about saving PDFs, not just opening them and reading them.  While Safari lets you open PDF documents, it does not let you save them.  In order to save them, you'll need to use a web browser that permits downloading.  I use Atomic Web Browser and can confirm that it does permit downloading and saving of PDF documents.

  • Can ipod save PDF files? Does any application allow me to write notes onto the PDF file? Thanks

    Can Ipod save PDF fiels? does any apple application can help me to write my handnotes onto PDF files

    If what you mean is that you want to annotate already existing PDFs the answer is yes. Goodreader will let you do this. You can highlight stuff. You can type stuff. You can also use your finger or a stylus to hand write stuff onto existing PDFs. It then saves as a copy, so that your original is still intact.
    It's not free, but I find it worth what I spent.

  • 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.

  • Can't SAVE pdf file after editing.

    So, it can understand as I can't edit my pdf as well..
    I tried to click on save or save as, but apparently it didn't save the file on my computer, and I don't know why this could be.
    When I clossed adobe it just kept asking whether I need to save it before I close it. But it still didn't work either I pressed Yes and select the original file name to overwrite it or to find a new location and rename it.
    It's a 32-bit Windows 7 with Adobe Reader X
    Please help, thanks!

    Please post in the Adobe Reader forum.  But even over there they will tell you that you cannot edit a PDF file with Adobe Reader.  Or maybe you will need to explain further what / how you were editing that PDF file.

  • Can't save PDF files from on-line banking site

    I'm not able to save a PDF file of bank statements or credit card statements from my secure online banking site.   I'm able to save copies of "non-secure" PDFs from various om-line sites.  I'm using Adobe Reader X.  anyone ahve any thoughts/recommendations?

    The content that I want to save as a PDF shows an icon for saving the file, but when I click on the icon, nothing happens.  I've tried to uninstall Adobe X; and also to "Repair" it.  But that has not made any difference.  I can print the document; increase or decrease the size of the image, advance from page to page, etc. ... it just won't allw me to save it as any type of file.
    Tnx,

  • Can't save pdf files

    Hi
    I have a Windows xp, adobe reader 10.1.1
    I can't seem to save files. When I download from the web, the download sticks on the last couple of kilobites and sets there for like 5 minutes. Then when the file finally finishes downloading, I can't save it. When I hie Save, the window whites out and does nothing, just sets there. If I hit the Save button again, I get a Program Not Responding message. And that is the ONLY message I ever get. I have no idea whats going on and its driving me nuts.

    Which browser are you using?

  • Can't save pdf files downloaded from some databases

    When I download some pdf files from databases (e.g. SpringerLink) I can download to READ only (there is NO toolbar for printing/saving/etc). I am accessing them through a University library which gives access. Is there some setting I need to change? OR are some files restricted to read only??? If so - how can I tell that is the case before I download?

    Graffiti - I did have Adobe Reader 9 - and I use Google Chrome.
    Inspired by your questions, I downloaded Adobe Reader X 10 - the pdf files still don't go through the 'normal' process of requesting to be saved and being open. They appear immediately but with no toolbar.
    SO I tried right clicking on the pdf file which could just be viewed, saving it, and THEN - YES THAT starts the 'normal' process of appearing as a file with the possibility of opening it (with toolbar).
    Is this 'normal'? I've opened large numbers of pdf files - and I never remember having to right click in order to start the process.
      Thanks very much for all your help,

    Open the PDF in Safari and then tap it and you should get a bar at the top of it with 'open in iBooks' as an option - tap that and it should be copied to the iBooks app.

    How do I save PDF files onto an iPad?

    There are several common ways to do this:
    1) Email the files to yourself and choose "Open In" from the mail application by long pressing on the attachment(s)
    2) Use a file sharing service like box.net, dropbox, gdrive or skydrive and choose "open in" from those applications
    3) Use iTunes as I describe in response to this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/992991
