My save as pdf dialog window has mysteriously disappeared. How do I get it back?

I'm using Illustrator CS5 on a Mac running Mavericks. I have made a bunch of images using a template and now I am wanting to make pdf of my images. I go "File" > "Save as" and then select "Adobe pdf" and click save. This used to bring up a separate dialog window that asked me things about how to save the pdf, but that has disappeared. I'm also using an external monitor on my MacBook Pro and I feel that this is the culprit. I'm trying to save my individual layers so that I can turn them on/off in Adobe Reader, but that function isn't available without the dialog box. Any suggestions on how to get it back? Also, without the dialog Illustrator beeps at me if I try to use it. I have to hit enter on the keyboard to save the pdf with the default parameters.
Thanks in advance,
Ben

Sounds like the dialog is off screen. You can try to reset the Preferences by using Cmd-Opt-Shift on restarting AI. That might bring it back to the current screen.

  • Just downloaded firefox 4.0, and the firefox button at the top of the page has completely disappeared - how do I get it back?!

    I clicked on the "Firefox" button at the top and then clicked on fullscreen and the Firefox button disappeared - can't figure out how to get out of fullscreen. Tried "alt" already. Thanks!

    Thanks for the response. I figured out the answer - it is to click on the resize button at the top right!
    Holding the mouse pointer at the top edge brings back the tabs, I find escape doesn't do anything when in fullscreen.
    Cheers, Mike

  • The "recently used programs" section on the start menu has disappeared - how do I get it back?

    On the start menu, the top few programs are those that I use frequently. There used to be a line, and underneath the line appeared the programs that I have most recently used (other than the frequently-used programs above the line). This bottom section has disappeared - how can I get it back? Running XP with Firefox 33.1.

    This is a Windows question, not a Firefox question. Try using a search like www.bing.com/search?q=restore+recently+used+programs+windows+xp for help.

  • HT4993 Maps navigation has been deleted, how can I get it back?

    Maps navigation has been deleted, how can I get it back?

    If you mean the built-in Maps app, you can't delete it.  Search all your screens and inside all your folders.  You can also use Spotlight search on your phone to locate it and if it's inside a folder, the name of the folder will show to the right of the Maps icon.  If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.  This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so.

    I think it's something you'll want to make sure is turned on in settings.
    This is found deep in settings < privact < locations services < system services < frequent locations. That needs to be turned on.

    Hi Jen.  My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse.  Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too.  Now to the problem at hand.  I have the same problem.  I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade.  Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade.  But I'm sure other factors are involved.  Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem:  What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it.  Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade.  Hope this works.   Charlie
