Issue saving edited pdf file on preview

Hi
I opened a 5 page page pdf file on preview and just wanted to save the last page and delet the others. When I am done, I am not able to save, or save as or cancel. When I click on save as a page for save as came on but disapeared without i could change the folder name and then it frooze.
Thanks for your help.

First, you need an app capable of reading PDFs but that's not the issue you should be addressing. You cannot upload PDFs to job sites using Safari. Safari allow this ONLY for videos and pictures.
To do what you're asking, others have suggested using an alternative iOS browser called iCab Mobile or iUploader (iTunes links). Both should help you.

Editing pdf files in Preview is painfully SLOW with Mavericks! With mountain lion everything was so smooth .... Why? How can I fix this?

I stopped using preview. Adobe Acrobat Pro is running fine ... this is not a solution to the problem though. The question remains open: why is preview not running as before?

Problem in saving edited pdf files in phone

it only occur when I save a notation or highlighted text in the PDF file ( around 7.1MB) but when I try to a lower size pdf file, the file is been saved.

Make sure you disable the Preview pane in Windows Explorer.

Combining pdf files in Preview not saved

I'm trying to combine screenshots into one pdf file. I clicked on the side bar button and dragged the files I wanted into the side bar and then saved this as a pdf file. It showed it as saving all the pages but when I closed it and reopened it, it had only one file. (It was now opened in Adobe Reader). Why is it not saving it as a combined file?
Thanks,
Kathy

Editable pdf file that can be saved

Working with Acrobat X. I have created an editable PDF file that i sent to my customer. They enter their information and all is good, BUT they can't save the file only print.
Is there something else I need to do to make this possible?
Traci

Whenever I see "customer" in a question like this I try to remind folks of the limitation of the license for 500 uses. Not requiring the extra step is an option for Reader XI as mentioned. The other way is to have any data submitted as a data file (FDF) rather than the whole form. When you import the data file into the form you get the same result. The customer can just print the form for their records.

How do you change the default save as directory when saving a PDF file to your hard drive?

This is the on-line help instructions on this site:
Downloading a PDF file to your hard drive
You can download a PDF file to the hard drive from a web page's link. Downloading PDF files doesn't require the ActiveX plug-in file to be installed. (If you want to open and view the PDF file after downloading it, you must have Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or Acrobat Reader installed.)
To download a PDF file from a link:
1. Right-click the link to a PDF file, and then choose Save Target As from the pop-up menu.
2. In the Save As dialog box, select a location on your hard drive, and then click Save.
My issue: I want to save several pdf files (from the Adobe Reader in my browser) one at a time and each time it defaults the save as directory to the desktop and I have to go looking for the directory I last saved a pdf file in. I got lots of directories and I wish I could change the default setting for the save as directory. Just a minor thing but irritating as other programs usually will allow you to switch the default save as directory to one of your choosing.

There is not a way to set the default location from all the forums i searched in the last couple days.

Print to PDF - using Snow Leopard (Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose

i have a PDF form that i created that is used as a custom proposal that my company sends out to potential clients. the form in its editable state is only used internally. we recently upgraded to snow leopard, but prior to the upgrade, we were able to fill the custom proposal form out using adobe reader, and, as you well know, we weren't able to save that edited document as a PDF with the custom form fields filled out. our work around using adobe reader was to print to a pdf using the adobe pdf printer in the printer dialog. with the addition of snow leopard, however, instead of choosing the adobe pdf printer, we were to choose PDF from the bottom left corner, then Save As PDF, and it would spit out an uneditable pdf that then allowed us to email it to the potential client without them being able to edit it as well as have an internal, digital copy for our records instead of having lots of paper floating around (i know this is also doable using security that disallows the client certain editing privileges, but printing to a pdf is much quicker and more efficient, and the pdf security isn't really that secure at its best).
in any case, i came across this gem of a post here on the support forums that installs another option from the PDF drop down on the bottom left of the print dialog menu that reads Save As Adobe PDF and is supposed to do exactly what i am trying to get it to do...print to a pdf file from adobe reader.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html
once i updated to acrobat 9.2 (as the link above suggests 9.1), however, the Save As Adobe PDF does appear in the print dialog menu, but it still gives me the same error that acrobat 8 - 9 gave me while using Snow Leopard — Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save — and as i've already explained, you can't save an edited pdf form in reader (as i am the only one in the office with acrobat) and still keep the fields as you've entered them in. the only work around is to print to a pdf but is apparently having some recent problems.
using acrobat, however, i know that i can save the editable pdf as a new file with the fields customized as i have left them, but it still saves it as an editable pdf and the print to a pdf option still remains the best option...that way we have digital copies internally that are uneditable that can be printed at any time or emailed to the client.
how can i do print to a pdf, based on what i've written above, using snow leopard and acrobat and reader?

A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File Save.

I am using Mountain Lion (10.8.2) and I was using Adobe Reader version 9. In the past, I've always been able to print to file using the File -> Print dialogue but all of a sudden it stopped working. I read somewhere that installing the latest version of Adobe Reader (version 11) would remove the old printer, so I did so. It took me about an hour on version 11 to even find the pdf print to file option, but I am getting the same message. For what it's worth, when I try print to file from Microsoft Word, I have no problem. I have no idea why things changed all of a sudden, but does anyone have any idea how I can get this working again?

I checked with Adobe. No luck.
Allow me to clarify my problem:
I have Adobe Reader XI. I also use a Mac--imac and a MacBook Pro. My adobe was updated on 12/24. Prior to that point, I could open my print dialogue box and there was a PDF tab on the bottom left. In the drop down menu there were many choices, including but not limited to Open in PDF Preview, Print PDF, Save PDF, email PDF. If I selected one page of 30 pages from a document saved in Adobe, I could extract just that one page and save it or email it, without having to send the entire document. After the update, when I open a PDF file using ADOBE READER XI, and then open the print dialogue box, and follow those same steps, I get the message "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save." My question is why is this feature now unavailable and is there a way to fix it?
The answer I got from Adobe was that Adobe never had this function, so it must have been via my print or preview programs..which are apple. Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thank you.

A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially.
I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.

AcroPro9, snow leopard, "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported"

Hi,
I have AcroPro9.1.3 (and 8 and 7 and Dreamweaver CS3, and probably other stuff too) on Snow Leopard (10.6.1).
I've read about de-installing the Acrobat printer and using "save as Adobe PDF" from the PDF button on the print menu. However, when I try this, I'm told "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported". Note that this is AcroPro9, not AcroReader. I get the same message when I try any of the other options under the PDF menu on the printer menu in Acrobat. In other applications, tho, (eg powerpoint), the PDF button works fine.
Before the upgrade, the PDF button on the print menu didn't work either (same message), so I used the Adobe printer, but now I can't. I had always assumed that AcroPro was stopping me from using Apple's PDF generator in favour of the Adobe one. But maybe some of my settings are wrong.
I now cannot print to PDF from Acrobat. Help. There are 120 fourth year software engineering students who will appreciate any help I get, as I can then post my recent lecture notes for them.
(What I really want to do is to take my powerpoint slides and print 4-up versions directly. But the PPT idea of 4up wastes a lot of space, so I generate 1up PDF, and the 4up PDF from that using Acrobat. At least, I used to. It was so much easier in the old days with Latex and psnup ...)
-- Mike G.

My current solution is to print from Preview instead (which will let me use the Adobe print facility, unlike Acrobat itself).
In fact, I pretty much have no need for Acrobat at the moment.
Adobe and Apple between them seem to have some real problems with Snow Leopard. I can't get Dreamweaver to run anymore without immediately crashing (yes I looked through the help forums, deleted settings, etc etc). So I'm now looking for a replacement tool for Dreamweaver and will likely use that from now on.
Adobe is not looking very good to me at the moment. YMMV.

Using Oracle "Import PDF" Extension in Open Office Draw to Edit pdf Files

I am a fairly new Mac user with OS X 10.6. For several months, I have been trying to find something which would edit pdf files better than Preview does (for example, the content of a text box in Preview can only be "center aligned"). Skim and FormulatePro were two options I tried that were improvements over Preview in many respects, but wouldn't let me paste an image onto my pdf (such as, for example, if I wanted to put my digital signature on a document).
Then, I "discovered" the Oracle PDF Import Extension which I had installed in Open Office months ago, but hadn't really used. By "discovered," I mean I read on somebody's blog that you could use Open Office Draw to edit pdf files and I thought, "Hey, I wonder if that would work with my setup." (Boy, do I feel stupid.)
I have just started using this functionality, but in just an hour or so of playing around, I have found that it has far exceeded my expectations and, even, my immediate needs. Besides giving you (a) all the control over text and text boxes that you would expect from, say, a word processing program and (b) allowing you to paste images onto your pdf, Open Office Draw also includes layers!
The layer function threw me off for a bit, because, at first, I kept finding that my attempts to edit the document resulted in grabbing the raster image and moving it "off" of the underlying text layer (a function, I will admit, that I think will be worth exploiting someday, but wasn't what I was looking for at the moment). Then, I discovered that you can "lock" the layer so as to prevent this annoying occurrence. To create your edits, simply create a new layer (call it "MyEdits" or whatever you want) and you're in business.
Anybody who has done anything more than drawn a couple of lines and boxes on a page has discovered that editing the overlapping objects can be a real pain - if not an outright impossibility. Separating these overlapping objects through the use of different layers solves the problem.
The only downside to the use of Open Office Draw as a pdf editing tool that I can see is that you must import the pdf, save your edits in odg format, and then export it to pdf when you're done. I know that we would all like to have the capability of doing everything I just described directly to the native document, but, hey, for all the functionality I have been searching the internet for weeks to find, I think it's a reasonable trade off.

Try turning off protected mode.

Problem saving a pdf file (adobe X) on a DFS (Distributed File System)

Following the installation of the X version of adobe reader, saving a pdf file over the network handled by DFS (distributed system files) is not possible.
the following message appears: The file may be read-only or opened by another user. Save the document under a different name or in a separate folder.

Please refer to the thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/3312454#3312454

This should most probability be fixed in the nxt update of Reader X

Do you know how to make multible page PDF files in Preview?

MAKE MULTIPLE PDF DOCUMENTS IN PREVIEW
Drop first page PDF file into Preview icon on the dock
Drag 2nd, 3rd page into page area

Save to desktop with new name.
Drag new file to Preview then press share to email
SCAN IN PREVIEW
In Preview go to FILE
Select IMPORT FROM PRINTER
Select Scan
Press CONTROL and DUPLICATE in the edit menu for SAVE AS to name file

Go to the Map, Background & Animatic Browser (last button in the centre tool bar alongside the Transition button). Drag the Black background (or any background) to your project. From an Event, drag the video selection directly onto the Black clip in the project. As you drop the video clip, a pop-up menu will appear. Select Picture in Picture.
Your video will appear as a small picture within the black clip. Click on it and reposition it to the centre of the viewer, using the yellow guide lines to get the exact centre position. Resize the Picture in Picture if desired by dragging the corner handles.
NOTE: You may need to extend the duration of the Black clip to match the duration of the video clip. Double-click on the Black clip to open the Inspector, then adjust the duration there.

Mark up and edit PDF files?

You advertised to me that you could provide a product that enabled one to mark up and edit PDF files. I spent hours trying to download it, install it and run it, hours and hours and hours of bitter frustration. Time and time again I had to agree to this, register that, click on this, scroll down to find that, install something, else, update something else, wait for this to run, wait again for the next thing to run, and then find something else in a something file, close this, open that, stop this, tell us what f===ing browser your'e using (Chrome) start that, verify this, confirm that, choose a f==== password, choose another f===== password because that one is not right, choose yet another f=====g password because it's the wrong shade of pink, choose a f======= userrname, and in the end, nothing worked, Nothing changed, I still cannot edit or mark up any Adobe Acrobat files. Every time you open a file like this it pesters you to download updates and this is just a f====== nightrmare, I have wasted hours when I could have been working and your product did not work or make any difference. I still don't know if you have to pay but if you do I resent you hiding that until the end. I accepted a supposedly free 30-day trial but that is not enough time to get the f====== product to download install and work.
Why did you advertise this?
You started this situation by advertising a product and sending a pop-up. All it caused was huge waste of my time and effort.
You are like a girl who stands on a street corner saying "Wanna hooker?" then when someone says "Yes" he is expected to produce his birth certificate, passport, health insurance card, Green card, national insurance card, baptismal certificate, take her out to dinner, take her out to dinner again because that wasnn't good enough, register his name and credit card details, undergo an international credit check , choose five f===== passwiords, undergo a DNA test and marry her grandmother. Then she says "I've got a headache."
It;s just not f=====ing worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well we have no idea what you tried to do to install the trial version. There may have been a fundamental error in your process, but unless you let us know what was happening, we can't help. As for Adobe, we don't try to defend them, but try to provide help where we can.
Sorry you ran into frustration. The package does a lot of things, but for you the trial would have been ideal to see what worked like you expected and what did not. A lot of people expect all sorts of things out of Acrobat that are not possible, thinking it is like a word processor. It is not like that, but a PDF is more like an electronic version of a piece of paper. Modifications are typically a pain, just as it is with paper.
Over the years a lot of features have been added. The markup is OK, but some of the functions continue to be clunky. The forms is a major contribution to a standard PDF. The OCR feature is useful for scanned files. So there are many features. Reader is basically that, a Reader. It generally allows the completion of forms and possibly submission electronically (depends on the creation process).
If you want to try again (assuming the trial period has not run out), then let us help. When you do the install, you need to be sure you log in as the administrator (on Windows) and disable anti-virus. There may also be an issue of the compatibility of the trial version and your OS (you never mentioned). So there are possible fixes that might be able to help you play with the trial.
