Cannot save file after it is digitally signed

Hello, I work for the IT Dept at my company and one of our employees is having trouble saving PDF files after digitally signing them. He received the error message:
The document could not be saved. Can not save to this file name. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder.
After each signature, Acrobat asks to save the file, which he does. The strange thing is that he may sign the same document 4 times, and the error might only occur on the last attempt to save. It will successfully perform it the first three times. I cannot find a pattern to the errors. The times he gets the error messages don't necessarily all happen on the last attempt, it might be the first or the middle. I have tried updating the program and searching around through the options to find any setting which may be applicable, but have had no luck. I have been trying to solve this problem for a few days now and I can't make any progress.
Does anyone eles have this problem or have a solution?

I don't have an answer as I have never seen the problem. However, for those that might be able to answer the question they will likely want to replicate the problem. It would be helpful to know what OS (and if 32 or 64-bit) and what version (include subversion) of Acrobat -- latest 10.1.4. If you can create a sample document that has the problem, then folks may have an easier time to repeat it. A document can be posted either at one of your sites, Acrobat.com, or maybe dropbox.

Cannot save file after opening in photoshop

I have a file selected in my lightroom library and I select photo -> edit in photoshop. I am selecting to edit a copy of the file. A copy is created and opens in photoshop. I make some adjustments and when I try to save it, I get an error message:
Could not save "file name" because the file is already in use or was left open.
I tried closing lightroom before saving, but it did not help.
All these in lightroom 1.3.1 and photoshop cs3 on a mac.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Hi...yes I can do a file Save As... but only as a different name, it will not replace the current name (says file open, same as before). If I do Save As and use a new name of course, I am then left with the original PSD file and the new one (which is not in the LR catalog, must be imported.)
The files are not open in bridge, it isn't even running.
Thanks

Hi Sue,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Try a Repair on the External USB Drive.
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Cannot Save File. File is Locked

Good morning. I just downloaded the Cloud CS6 and am working with Fireworks. I saved a PNG file then later went back to modify and now cannot save the file. I am trying to save as with a png extension but keep getting the message cannot save file. File is locked. I have read several of the forums but can't seem to resolve by myself. Any help is greatly appreciated.

did you create the file, or is it coming from a the shared folder, and was (perhaps) created by another user?
I ran across a similar error with a (text edit) file created by another user.
Opened just fine, but when I edited it, then selected Save,
it failed to save.
Selected Save As... and used the same name and location, the file as expected.

Cannot Save File because of disk error

I selected 4 RAW images in Lightroom and chose the Merge to Panorama In Photoshop. After the file was created and I cropped it to my desired dimensions I tried to perform a simple save. I was asked what name to give the file and I went with the default settings and clicked OK on the Maximize Compatibility dialogue but I get an error that said "Cannot Save XXXXXX.PSD because of a Disk Error.
There are no details and not other options to find details. The drive these images came from have permissions set to Read and Write so I don't know what the issue is.

Your OS has reported a disk error - which usually means that there is a serious problem with the disk.
Photoshop is just passing along the error it got from the OS.

Cannot delete files after emailing them

Ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard I cannot empty the trash if there is a file that I have added as an attachment in an email if Mail is still open. It will say the file is in use and I either have to quit Mail or Secure Empty Trash. This is really annoying. Anyone know of a fix? The file shouldn't be in use once it is sent in Mail. This never happened in previous versions of OSX. Also, if I have sent a file as an attachment I cannot save over it in the originating program because it is in use.

No, this is only for Mail. As soon as I add a file as an attachment then I cannot delete it without quitting mail or secure empty the trash. It isn't a data loss deterrent because you get that message making sure you want to delete it but when I say yes then it says the file is in use.
By the way, I shut off Time Machine for a day and then tried to delete a new file that I created after Time Machine was shut off that I added as an attachment to Mail and the same problem occurs. All other files that I do not add as an attachment in Mail I can delete with no problems.

"cannot find file" after formatting and moving!!

Wanted to have iTunes library included in Time Capsule backup. So had to reformat external hardrives where all my songs are from Windows do OS. Copied everything on other HD, reformatted HD with OS, copied back all songs. HD still has same name "MUSIC", but iTunes cannot find files.
Changed in iTunes preferences the location of files to ensure it searches in the right place AND also replaced with text editor in "iTunes Music Library.xml" file all links with new address of HD (now after reformatting to OS I found it to be slightly different despite still same name).
But iTunes still cannot find the files. Everything is the same as before, HD name, directory structure, file names, etc. ONLY difference is it all is on "OS formatted" drive. Don't want to lose ratings and playlists of over 15,000 songs....is there still a solution?

The moment I "drag out" the Tunes Library File, then there is nothing left there, and when I open iTunes it is empty.
That's as expected. That file is the database iTunes uses that keeps track of everything, so when you then launch iTunes, it's starting from scratch.
I can import the Playlists from the XML and they do appear, but still no songs, all is empty. If I try to reimport from the new location, then they "do not fit into the playlists", meaning ratings etc. are lost.
Then you apparently didn't get the XML file edited properly; it's not easy to do.
Why does the simple location function in iTunes Preferences not work?
It does, when used as designed. The preference is where new additions (imports & purchases) will be stored. It does not change the location for existing files.
Put the original library file back. Then launch iTunes, Get Info on a representative track, and look at the path to where it thinks the files should be and compare that to the actual path. Any difference at all will break things. If there are differences (drive name slightly different, any difference in folder names/structure, etc.; letter case counts), try correcting them in Finder and see if that gets things working again. If not, then you'll have to use the Add to Library command to get back your tracks which will lose all your ratings, etc.
Where does iTunes save the links to the original files so it can simply be changed?
In the iTunes Library file, which cannot be manually edited.

Cannot save files to Windows server 2003 file server from MAC

Hi,
We have few MAC users and others mostly windows based users. Problem now is MAC users cannot save any files to the file server. I had the issues to save in the portable hard drive then i format the HDD to fat 32 and now i can save, But the file server cannot
be done like that.
What i can do to save the files to file server? please advice me
thanks
saththiyan

I cannot attach another NAS as CEO need to save files to all the folders which is there in the file server already,
You can share the folder and map a drive across the network to access the shared folder on the file server. Shared folders formatted NTFS do not affect network access. You would do that by using the SMB. Here's how:

What OS version is the server? Is it a DC? You may need to reduce security on the server to allow Macs to access the server. Here's more info:

Photoshop CS3 cannot save files (something happened)

Hi, all has been fine for a long time but all of a sudden I cannot save anything. Doesn't matter if I open a jpg file, or start a new file in PS and draw something, when I hit save or save as I see a dialog flash and disappear and the focus has gone from the main PS window and cannot get it back. The dialog is NOT in the tasklist, so I cannot alt+tab to it, so the only way to quite PS then is using the windows task manager!
Anyone encountered this before? I've not done anything between the last time I used it, and as far as I am aware it has not updated (but might have done).
Windows XP PRo, Dual Core Intel, 2GB RAM (tried restarting windows, only 600MB RAM in use after restart).
Thanks
Henry

>Anyway, the next time it happened I hit esc and had control again. The odd thing is that cleared whatever was the issue, because the save popup now works alright.
that's good henry, but it suggests you didn't successfully clear the preferneces as that would reset the location of the dialog as well.
hey bob levine, i've been hearing this over and over, that esc will cancel a hidden dialog (that we already knew) but that it will reset next time shown. seems like maybe something has been added to the code to make this happen as it never did before, but this is like the 3rd or 4th time i've read this...
maybe something should be added to the start of the faq on "dialog box is missing". like:
]"First: hit ESC and see if control returns to the program, try the operation again to see if the dialog position has been reset.
]If not continue to try the other options."

Cannot save files to home on solaris amd64

Hello,
a weird problem occurs after installing Reader 9.1 for Solaris 10/11 amd64: I cannot save to my home directory
/home/user (nor can other users save to their /home/user). This directory is mounted via NFS, but I can save into
another NFS mounted directory mounted with exactly the same mount options. The error is: "The disk you were
saving to or the disk used for temporary space is full....." . Which isn't exactly true, since the /home/user disk has
2.1 TB free (it's ZFS), and the /tmp (which is also what $TMPDIR is pointing to) has 42 GB free (and I can save to /tmp),
whereas the other mounted filesystem I can save to only has 110 GB free.
So I suspect that the large free size of the /home/user directory is not resolved correctly (2 TB limit ?) . Where can I
post this bug, or is it sufficient to mention it here ?

One of my users is having the same problem on centos linux. /home/t4d5 is mounted via NFS and automount. Size is 13TB. He can't 'save as' there, though there is space and he has permission. When he saves as to a local partition in /, no problem.
'quota' seems to be reporting the wrong info for the NFS mounted partition. On theme4, where the actual disk resides and is exported, the user has plenty of quota to spare:
[root@theme4 ~]# quota -vls tobiasf
Disk quotas for user tobiasf (uid 2797):
     Filesystem blocks   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit   grace

      /dev/sdc1 87928M    268G    287G           10794       0       0
      /dev/sdd1       0       0       0               0       0       0
      /dev/sde1       0       0       0               0       0       0
      /dev/sdf1   1312G   4578G   4769G            119k       0       0
[root@theme4 ~]# df|grep sdf
/dev/sdf1              13T   11T 2.2T 84% /export/t4d5
But on lee1, it looks like his quota is exhausted:
[tobiasf@lee1 ~]$ quota
Disk quotas for user tobiasf (uid 2797):
     Filesystem blocks   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit   grace

Maybe the problem on the adobe side is that reader checks first instead of just trying to write.
Thanks

Why can others not open a PDF after I have digitally signed it.

I have a PDF that I have digitally signed that others users, MACS and WINDOWS can not open after my signature is applied on my computer. I can still open and view the document with no problem. I have been able to successfully sign the document on a different machine which was then usable by others. This problem is new since I upgraded to 10.1.4, or at least now notice it.

What exactly happens when others try?

Photoshop CS6.1 Cannot save file as .tif-program insists on .pdf

On Mac Pro using OS X attempt to save completed file as .tif. Photoshop insists on saving it as a .pdf. None of the format shown in "Format" field link up with actual extension.

Hi. I have used the PS CS6 trial and an Epson v500 scanner to scan a 6 by 4 image at 6400 dpi using File => Import => From image device. The file was saved as a pdf and opened automatically in CS6. I was satisfied with the image and wanted to save it as a something other than a pdf since pdf is not really a widely accepted image format for archiving. The image size came out to ~ 6 GB. I went to Save As and the only options I see from the save as format drop down box were PSD, TIFF, and PS Raw. I tried Tiff, but it told me it cant save files past 4 GB. IM not interested in the other 2 formats it allowed me to save as. Any ideas? Why cant I save as a JPEG or BMP when something ahs been scanned as a PDF?
As for plugins, I downloaded the official PS CS6 Mac plugins and placed them in the appropriate plugins folder.
Are there file size limitations with respect to saving a copy when you have opened a file as a pdf?
Its not that there is anything wrong with the pdf format, its just that I cannot use the scanner plugin for importing an image from PS6 to save as a Tiff or JPEG under 6400 dpi and 48 bpp settings (this problem was discussed ina nother thread).
Any ideas?

Cannot save file in word for mac 2011

When I tried to save a word file, the system keep telling me "this file is being used by another program, please save again" then the file name turned into something like "Word Work File L_230232796.tmp" and I have to choose another name for the file. Besides, sometimes the new file cannot be opened correctly. How can I solve it?

perhaps ignore a little the standard search microsoft forum response above for the moment, the problem may lie with apple, as I doubt these problems occurred with snow leopard and previous, as its the new OSX file versioning autosaving features that seemed to have cause allot of issues not just with office, my clients cant stand the lack of "save as" for instance, this new autosave features also has a hidden ability to lock files older than a certain age hidden within time machine preferences this might and I say "might" be the issue in question although "blocked" is more unusual in contrast to to the more common "locked" as an error, follow the following points in order >
1: just check this article to see whether it may help with your issue.
http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_disable_os_x_lion_file_locking
2: do the standard updates software routine to both office and osx you can, ie to 10.7.5 for lion for instance.
3: do the standard disk utility permissions repair, although this sadly only affects, files other than user folders, user folder permission repair can be done but is more complicated.
4: some with this issue recommend turning off time machine backups completely, as it also seems to interact with this issue, test this ?
5: check with docs of different files sizes to establis whether its file size related and respond back to the thread
6: if related to dropbox make sure its fully updated, aagan try saving in a different file location and test respond back to the thread
7: Note also lion and mountain lion have changed and tightened quite a bit the permissions and user control over OSX and file locations etc, for the endless over perceived security risks out there, meaning for instance lion will no longer let you save files to root without putting in your password etc, so Might I suggest also making sure that where your saving your word documents is within the user folder temporarily ? and see whether that resolves the issue. ie the file saving location in question maybe the issue.
8: Sadly if you recently did an "upgrade to Lion", some Software issues may also resolved by reinstalling the said software afterwards, negating the point of an upgrade install, but anyway … as that can sometimes resolve issues with software from a Lion Upgrade.
further : if this is related to a temporary file save location within the application package as some software makers seem to do ? then permissions repair may have resolved it or it may require a microsoft update to the office suite if so, I thought doc temp files as regards microsoft documents were saved alongside the original file ? could be a temp elsewhere though perhaps in the Microsoft folder in the user>library>application support maybe the issue stems from permissions there ? a search can reveal how to repair the permissions on the user folder which cannot be done through disk utility as standard, though i doubt this will resolve it. OS X lion and up and the new autosave feature, versioning and file locking time machine backups and the lack of "save as in some application have created allot of issues for allot of people you are not alone in these issues.
