Forced to save document with another new name?

When I scan a document to a pdf, I open it and OCR the document.  It then tells me that I need to save the document with another name as the document is opened someplace else.  this is not true.  If I open a pdf and add a page to it, it tells me again that I need to save the document with a different name.  What is causing this problem?

This cannot be done in Reader. Are you using Acrobat?

  • How do you save a document with a new name?

    OK  I decided to go with Pages as my document editor on my iPad 2.  It seems to be powerful enough to do the kind of text editing that I need to do. I need some tables, a few graphics, headers, footers, etc.  You know the basic stuff.  I am not going to try to write a dissertation or thesis on my iPad, but I need to be able to write memos and some work documents.
    I am having a hard time learning the Apple way of doing things I guess.  Must be too many years on a PC using Microsoft Office.
    But I need to know how to open an existing document, make some changes and then save it with a new name so I don't overwrite my original document? Just a basic "Save As" function.
    Is this possible?  Or has Apple devised a way that I am just not seeing yet?

    Hi
    Someone maybe can tell you another/the right way of doing this but I do it this way. In pages press and hold the document until it wiggles and then select it by touching it so the orange border appears around it, then press the folder button at the top, the one with the + sign on it and this will create an exact copy on the documents screen. Then just open and edit that one thus preserving the content of the original.
    There may well be a better way, but hope this helps.
    Regards
    Matt.

  • How can I save a pages document with a new name

    I often make changes to pages and numbers documents and save them with a new name. This seems to be impossible under LION. To remove the save as command is very shortsited. The only way I found to get around that is to save the changed document as a templete, remove the changes I made to the original document, Open a new document using the templete I just created, saving that document under the name I would have created using the save as command if it was still there, and then delete the templete. How in the **** is this better? Lion has disrupted almost everything I used to do in Snow Leopard.
    The only thing that syncs with mobile me is email. Everything else quit working. I reported the mobile me issue to Apple and am waiting for them to contact me.

    1.- Try to go to the File Menu
    2.- Then hold down the Option Key
    3.- You will see in the File Menu (while you press the option key) the "save as" option.
    4.- Choose the "save as" option.
    5.- Choose the file where you want to save your document (you can choose any folder or sub foler in your mac or even iCloud). If you want to, you can even rename the open document where you are working in.
    I hope this would help

    That is wrong, (unless you have Mountain Lion), the correct answer is above, posted by deggie

  • What replaces "save as" for saving with a new name? Is "export" the only way to dave as .doc?

  • Trying to save a document with a new file name

    I have a IMacOSX Lion
    I am very new to apple products
    How do I save an existing document with a new file name thereby having two documents the old one and the new one with changes? Once a document has been saved once opening File no longer offers the save or Save as choice. Clicking on Save a version does not work either. Please help!

    What application are you using?
    Most Apple apps have adopted a new file saving scheme for what you describe. In Pages, for instance, you go to the File menu and select Duplicate. You end up with two documents, one labeled xxx copy (if the original was xxx). Now you can save xxx copy by using Save from the File menu, and change the name to whatever you want.
    Hope this helps you. Best of luck.

  • Mavericks freezes whenever I try to save a document with a new tag

    I just started having a problem (or at least I think it is new) whenever I try to save a document with a new tag. With the exception of OmniOutliner, every program I've tried either freezes and I need to force-quit (Preview, Byword, Circus Pony Notebooks) or crashes (anything in Office 2011). I recently purchased Default Folder X (as part of the Mac productivity bundle), but I turned it off, I tried saving the file to a different location, and I tried rebooting. Still, the problem occurs. This occurs on two different machines (2013 Macbook Air and 2011 Macbook Pro).
    As I said, this problem only occurs if I try to save and create a new tag. If I just save without creating a new tag, or if I save the document and add a pre-existing tag, it saves without any problems. And what's really puzzling to me at least is that Omnioutliner saves a new tag without difficulties. Any suggestions?

    Given what you wrote,
    it's not a Pages problem but a System's one.
    Better to ask in a forum dedicated to this one.

  • I am trying to save a document with the new pages and it will only save as a zip file any ideas on how to change this?

    I am trying to save a document with the new Pages and it is only saving as a ZIP file anyone know how to fix this or choose a different file type?

    Take a look at the FileSelector
    First make sure the FileSelector is expanded so you can see the directory and sidebar. That's what the little disclosure triangle up by the filename is for. Once the FS has been expanded to look like the above picture, look to see what subdirectory has been selected. Use the SideBar to select an appropriate one.

    Truly dumb question. How do I get PS to actually complete a command, eg straighten an horizon, and finalise the change. Even doing a "save as" with a new file name and reloading brings the image back, straightened, but with the skewed back ground frame still there. Is there a "apply change" or similiar command that I simply cannot see.

    brings the image back, straightened, but with the skewed back ground frame
    PSE did what you told it to do. Choose the Straighten and crop edges or fill edges options when you use the straighten tool if you want it to do more than just straighten the contents of the image. Many people prefer the plain straighten because they'd rather crop themselves than let PSE do it.

  • Saving changed services in Automator with a new name.

    Under SnowLeopard I could open an existing workflow, make some changes to it and save it as a new workflow service. In Lion there is no SAVE AS, so this procedure doesn't work.
    I tried duplicating the workflow in the Finder and renaming it and opening it in Automator. The problem is; after making the changes and saving it, Services show it with the original name. That means both the original file and the duplicated/renamed file show up with the same name.
    Is Automator creating an internal name for the file that can't be changed?
    I had a service that moved files from one location to another. I created 5 duplicates of it and renamed them with the new location as part of I wanted to move file to. I made the changes to each with the new location as the place to move the selected files.
    Now Services show six services with the original name and none with the new names.
    Is anyone else having the same problem? I wish there were a way to force applications to do a SAVE AS.
    I have also noticed that the DUPLICATE TO... doesn't give you an option to have to duplicated a new name.

    For me the following works:
    Open the servce you want to modify in Automator.
    In Automator duplicate the workflow with File -> Duplicate.
    Edit the duplicate.
    Save it with File -> Save. You will be prompted for a new name.
    Install the new service in ~/Library/Services and remove the old version.

  • Saving documents with similar file names

    When saving documents with similar file names, I used to be able to hit save as button and go to the file folder I wish to use. I could then click an existing file in the folder to draw in the name and then just modify it slightly to create the new name.
    In Reader DC I get an error saying this is a read only file an can not be saved.  I can save the file if I use a different file name but then I have to go in and rename the file. i.e. if I have a weakly report that I save, I may have the file name "Installerspayroll.we.04.25.15.pdf."
    I used to be able to click on the existing file name to bring it into the name box and then just change the date. The updated version is not allowing me to do that, creating more work.

  • Saving a copy of a document using a new name or location

    I am trying to save a document under a new name and new location.  I cannot find the "Save As" command in pages or keynote.  How do I save a document using a new name or save the document into a new location?

    It's a little different now. Instead of using Save As (which is now gone as you know) use Duplicate then save that document and give it the name and location you want.

    spose
    i have a db name attached in sql server StoreManagementDB now i want to copy this database with all the transactions as StoreManagementDB_1.
    thanks

    Use a two steps to use a backup file to restore a database with a new name.
    ----You need to have a full backup of your database:
    --Step 1:
    RESTORE FILELISTONLY
    FROM DISK = 'C:\bk\TEST.BAK'
    --Find out the LogicalName of data file and log file
    -- in this case: the data file: TEST and the log file LogicalName: TEST_log
    --Both names will be used in the MOVE command
    --Step 2:
    -- Restore the files for test1.
    RESTORE DATABASE test1
    FROM DISK = 'C:\bk\TEST.BAK'
    WITH RECOVERY,
    MOVE 'TEST' TO 'C:\bk\test1_Data.mdf',
    MOVE 'TEST_log' TO 'C:\bk\test1_Log.ldf'
    GO

  • How do I save documents from the new Pages into a Word Document

    How do I save documents from the new Pages into a Word Document?

    Thank you so much - so simple!  I had been using the 'share' option (worked in old Pages) and only had icloud or email as options.  I have to attach word documents to emails to send to work. I don't want to use icloud because it's too public and I don't trust it.  Also, you have to be able to access the internet and I need word documents on my USB stick for work where there's no internet.
    I love my Mac but I do wish Apple would remember those of us living in less-than-perfect computer-land.
    Thanks again
