How do I edit a pdf document and save it without having to save it as a new file?

I recently copied a pdf document to my computer. I need to make changes to it and forward it to someone else for review. I can make the changes, but when I try to save it, I get a message that the document is read only or is already open. As far as I can tell, there are no restrictions on the document and it is not already open.
I am using Adobe Acrobat X on a PC running Windows 7 64 bit.
Any help with this frustrating problem would be appreciated.

Often what you describe occurs because Windows Explorer is open and has focus on the file.
Put focus elsewhere and, if the Preview mode is "on" turn it "off".
Be well...

  • Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them; I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first.

    Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them. I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first. When I click on a file, the downloads box opens and depending on the setting, it auto saves the file or asks me where to save the file. What if I don't want to save it anywhere, I just want to view it and close it?

  • I want to open a document in a link without having to save it first.

    When reading an email or looking at a web page I always have to save a document before I can open it. I used to be able to click on the link and was given the option to open or save the file. I no longer get the option. I do not want to save all these things to my computer first. How can I get the option to open a document whose link I have clicked on without having to save it first?

    Just be sure that feature is enabled first.
    Settings / General / Keyboard / Enable Caps Lock.
    When capslocked, the arrow turns blue.

  • How can i edit a PDF document?

    would like to edit a pdf doc. how can i do that?

    It is always best to edit the source document - MS Word, for example - then create a new PDF. If the source document is not available, you can try saving the PDF as a Word document. Sometimes that works reasonably well, other times not so much. It is possible to make small edits using the Content Editing tools in Acrobat, but do not expect too much. Acrobat is not a word processor.

    how to i edit a saved pdf document

    Hi tdsly1,
    To edit a PDF file, you need to use Adobe Acrobat. If you don't have it, you can try it for free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
    Best,

  • How does one take a PDF document and transfer it to a Word Power Point doc?

    I have signed up for yearly plan with Adobe. And cannot figure out how to take my PDF doc and transfer it to a Power Point doc?
    Any help would so be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi Sara,
    That is not what the online purchase showed me when I just subscribed to a year of Adobe ExportPDF Annual…Can this be changed toward Adobe PDF Pack subscription? Who can I contact to see if this is possible? A phone to call or specific department at Adobe to help?
    Please advise.
    Thanks

  • How do I edit a pdf document in adobe acrobat 9 extended?

    I tried to edit a seachable pdf file in adobe acrobat 9
    extended and it wont work. It just highlights the word but won't
    let me delete it and change it. Any ideas? I thought I tired
    everything.

    Just as you cannot post on this forum without creating an
    account, you will need to create an account on the Acrobat forums
    in order to post.
    The title of these forums clearly indicate they are for
    Acrobat.com users and not users of the Acrobat desktop software.
    You will also find a post outlining this as the first post in the
    General Discussions forum, where I see you have also posted your
    same question and gotten the same answers.
    Do
    you need support for Acrobat 9? or Acrobat.com?
    Just as we would not provide answers for other Adobe products
    such as InDesign or Illustrator on the Acrobat.com forums, we will
    not be providing support for the Acrobat desktop product on these
    forums as it is a separate product from Acrobat.com. I understand
    that the names are similar so this can certainly cause you some
    confusion, but you will need to proceed to the Acrobat forums in
    order to ask questions about your Acrobat product. As you have been
    told several times by several different support agents, these
    forums are not related to the Acrobat desktop product and the
    support agents on this forum do not support the Acrobat desktop
    product on this forum. You have been directed to a forum where you
    can ask for support on the product you are using, please continue
    on to that forum. The support you are requesting cannot be
    delivered on this forum.

    Hello,
    I'm not a specialist, but I think that you could configure these information in the /Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf file
    # Aliases: Add here as many aliases as you need (with no limit). The format is
    # Alias fakename realname
    <IfModule mod_alias.c>
        # Note that if you include a trailing / on fakename then the server will
        # require it to be present in the URL.  So "/icons" isn't aliased in this
        # example, only "/icons/"..
        Alias /icons/ "/appli/9IAS/Apache/Apache/icons/"
        Alias /jservdocs/ "/appli/9IAS/Apache/Jserv/docs/"

  • Edit a PDF document

    How do I edit a pdf document?

    My experience with editing a PDF document whether it be a free product or paid, is very few will be able to convert the document say to Microsoft Word 100 percent of the time with perfect accuracy. It depends a lot on the actual layout of the PDF document.
    I have used numerous products over the years, some good and some not so good. Depends on the product.
    The two that I found the best at a reasonable cost are Nitro PDF Professional and AnyBizSoft. Nitro costing a bit more but offers a lot of additional tools when working with a PDF Document and faster when converting the document.

  • How can i convert a pdf document fully without problems

    Thanks for your help

    Reader cannot convert files to Word. There is an ExportPDF service with its own forum to help with issues to the service. However, converting files to Word is by its very nature an iffy proposition. How well it works depends upon the content of the file and how it was created.

    I need to know how to edit a PDF document?

    Preview has limited PDF editing capability.  You can get a lot more on:
    http://www.pdfescape.com/
    or with Wondershare's PDF Editor.
    Adobe Acrobat Pro is the most expensive solution.
    Since you posted under iMac PPC forum, which is for iMacs that can't run any operating system newer than August 28, 2009, I can't say specifically what the capabilities of your version of Preview are.  Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac.  If you have an Intel, you do not have a PPC.  If you have a G5, G4 or G3, you posted to the right forum, and just need to find the version of Preview you have in Applications folder.
