Is there a way to enable the PDF filename to be saved over (replaced) after the document has been saved once?

Once a person has saved a fillable PDF onto their computer and entered information, closed the document, then reopens to add more information, they get an error message from Adobe Reader saying, "The document could not be saved.  Cannot save to this filename.  Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder."  The machines in question use the Windows platform.

We have encountered the same problem at our company, and the following thread help us to resolve our problem:
Thanks to KevinCur.
Error while saving a .PDF File to a mapped drive
"It has to do with Protected Mode being turned on.  I don't know if it was off by default & now it is on with the update but turning it off changes Adobe Reader's behavior back to what the users expect - a prompt warning you if you want to overwrite the existing file & then selecting Yes to overwrite.
To disable Protected Mode:
Start Adobe Reader
Edit - Preferences - Security (Enhanced)
Uncheck Enable Protected Mode at Startup
Close Preferences & Close Reader"
We unchecked the "Enable Protected Mode at startup" box --> Yes --> OK.  Our users are happy now.  ^_^

  • Is there any way to close download windows that remain all black and open after the downloading ?

    Hi,
    I have my download windows that remain black and open after the downloading achieved. The only button active is the red cross but seems to be inoperative...
    I can have couple of them open at the end of the day at the same time.
    I have already tried to uninstall/resinstall but the problem remains...

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • What is the best methodology to handle database schema changes after an application has been deployed?

    Hi,
    VS2013, SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB, EF 6.0, VB, desktop application with an end user database
    What is a reliable method to follow when there is a schema change for an end user database used by a deployed application?  In other words, each end user has their own private data, but the database needs to be expanded for additional features, etc. 
    I list here the steps it seems I must consider.  If I've missed any, please also inform:
    (1) From the first time the application is installed, it should have already moved all downloaded database files to a separate known location, most likely some sub-folder in <user>\App Data.
    (2) When there's a schema change, the new database file(s) must also be moved into the location in item (1) above.
    (3) The application must check to see if the new database file(s) have been loaded, and if not, transfer the data from the old database file(s) to the new database file(s).
    (4) Then the application can operate using the new schema.
    This may seem basic, but for those of us who haven't done it, it seems pretty complicated.  Item (3) seems to be the operative issue for database schema changes.  Existing user data needs to be preserved, but using the new schema.  I'd like
    to understand the various ways it can be done, if there are specific tools created to handle this process, and which method is considered best practice.
    (1) Should we handle the transfer in a 'one-time use' application method, i.e. do it in application code.
    (2) Should we handle the transfer using some type of 'one-time use' SQL query.  If this is the best way, can you provide some guidance if there are different alternatives for how to perform this in SQL, and where to learn/see examples?
    (3) Some other method?
    Thanks.
    Best Regards,
    Alan

    Hi Uri,
    Thank you kindly for your response.  Also thanks to Kalman Toth for showing the right forum for such questions.
    To clarify the scenario, I did not mean to imply the end user 'owns' the schema.  I was trying to communicate that in my scenario, an end user will have loaded their own private data into the database file originally delivered with the application. 
    If the schema needs to be updated for new application features, the end user's data will of course need to be preserved during the application upgrade if that upgrade includes a database schema change.
    Although I listed step 3 as transferring the data, I should have made more clear I was trying to express my limited understanding of how this process "might work", since at the present time I am not an expert with this.  I suspected my thinking
    is limited and someone would correct me.
    This is basically the reason for my post; I am hoping an expert can point me to what I need to learn about to handle database schema changes when application upgrades are deployed.  For example, if an SQL script needs to be created and deployed
    then I need to learn how to do that.  What's the best practice, or most reliable/efficient way to make sure the end user's database is changed to the new schema after the upgraded application is deployed?  Correct me if I'm wrong on this,
    but updating the end user database will have to be handled totally within the deployment tool or the upgraded application when it first starts up.
    If it makes a difference, I'll be deploying application upgrades initially using Click Once from Visual Studio, and eventually I may also use Windows Installer or Wix.
    Again, thanks for your help.
    Best Regards,
    Alan

    - Problem: I have 1400 e-mails with attachments that need to be converted into pdf and the attachments cannot be embeded.
    System: PC Windows 7 using Acrobat X Prof. - Thank you!

    Hi ,
    There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
    However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
    I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
    Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

  • Is there a way to enable & configure Volume Discounts via the Product Import Spreadsheet? Is there a way to enable more than 2 Quantity Thresholds?

    Is there a way to enable & configure Volume Discounts via the Product Import Spreadsheet? Is there a way to enable more than 2 Quantity Thresholds?

    Hi Michael,
    You can set the thresholds via an import file. The easiest way to do this (and this goes for all importable data, webapps included, 301 redirects and so on) is this:
    1. go into the Admin and create a single item, in you case create a test product and set the thresholds
    2. export that data - in your case export the product list
    3. take a look at how the data looks like in the export file so you can get an idea of how the format should be like in the import file
    Unfortunately you cannot set more than 2 thresholds, that is not possible at the moment.
    Thanks,
    Mihai

  • My wife and I each have our own apple ID's which we use on our own iPhones and iPads. We share an iMac. Is there a way of enabling Facetime on the iMac to accept calls to either of our IDs without the need to login as that particular user?

    My wife and I each have our own apple ID's which we use on our own iPhones and iPads. We share an iMac. Is there a way of enabling Facetime on the iMac to accept calls to either of our IDs without the need to login as that particular user?

    no, when using facetime you log in with the apple id you want people to reach you at, so unless you both agree to share one apple id for all the facetime you do, it will be necessary for you to logout and login each time you use the application.

  • Is there a way to enable the "protect tones" box while working in Lab mode for dodging and burning?

    Is there a way to enable the "protect tones" box while working in Lab  Color mode for dodging and burning?

    Don't think so. Those algorithms are built around the RGB color model as far as I know and there is no way to achieve the same result in other color modes. It may not be programmaticalyl and matehmatically impossible, but it's probably too complicated for a quick solution due to constant color space conversion math getting involved.

  • Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

    Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
    TIA,
    Nancy

    To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
    Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
    Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
    I wonder what it will be next time?

  • Is there a way to enable tabbing betwen form fields on ipad?

    I have forms created in Adobe Acrobat X Pro on an ipad 3. The forms work as expected apart from being able to use the tab key to move between fields. is there any way to enable this on the ipad. Works fine on a pc and tabs in the correct order.
    thanks.

    There is no tab button on the on screen keyboard. Instead, there you should use the prev/next. As for the bluetooth, this is something we're considering. One odd issue with PDF is that the fields aren't actually fillable fields until they are activated by tap. This is why the standard prev/next behavior with the tab key on the bluetooth keyboard doesn't work. However, this is something we're actively investigating for a future release. It won't be in our next release, but please keep an eye out for future updates.

  • Is there a way to prevent a PDF file from being forwarded?

    is there a way to prevent a PDF file from being forwarded? For example, im a personal trainer and if i send a client a plan via PDF file, i want to make sure that they cannot send it to anyone else. I read about how you can secure a file by creating an ID and then having the recipient create an ID as well, but i would like to make the orocess as easy as possible for my clients and not have to have them create an ID and then send it to me. is there a better way to block the recipient from resending the PDF?

    Hi Kiana,
    As such there is no option to prevent the recipients from forwarding the pdf. However you can refer to this blog How do I prevent someone from forwarding a PDF?, it might be of some help.

  • Is there a way to print a pdf to a pdf without changing your default printer?

    With the recent Adobe update (current version Adobe Pro XI Pro (1637-0001) 11.0.00), there were some changes that have caused a program my company uses to distort all or part of a pdf once it has been imported. We have found a work around. However, the work around is now becoming time consuming with the amount of files we deal with on a daily basis. Is there a way to print a pdf to a pdf without changing the default printer to the Adobe printer? (this is our work around solution).
    Thanks!

    For what you are trying to do, probably not. You have to open Acrobat and go to the print menu to select the Adobe PDF printer if it is not the default. The only possibility that I can think of (you will have to try it to tell if that is the case) is to drag the PDF to the Adobe PDF printer and see if it prints. This used to work, but I just tried it in Win7 and it did not do the job.
