PDF won't save to computer

I download several financial statements in PDF each month and two of them, though enabled, will not allow themselves to be saved to my computer. They can be viewed, printed and edited but clicking on the save icon does nothing. The'Save to:' pop-up does not appear. I'm running Windows 7 x64 and have the most current version of reader (9.4.1). Has anyone seen this before???

Hi,
Yes indeed, we have the same issue. After further research, I ran across this workaround that worked for me. Of course it does not solve the Adobe problem, but it does allow for saving a PDF that does not want to be saved while opened in IE (I’m using 8). Here is a copy of the workaround.
Of course the question remains – what is the problem and why do we have to use this workaround – very strange. Must be a compatibility issue with certain website, win 7, IE 8 and Adobe. The problem site for me was Chase.com. I called their online rep and they had know ideas.  Hope the workaround works for you.
Here is the link where I found the workaround.

Subject: PDF won't save to computer
Hey Reepercheep,
Just a note...  I have been experiencing this problem with one of my accounts since back in Reader version 8.x. The second account only started paperless before Christmas. I was willing to put up with it from one group but two with the same problem broke the camel's back (it started to become a trend!). Hopefully someone has found the magic bullit to solve this. Cheers

  • Itunes won't download, binary file won't save to computer.

    Every time I click on the "Download Now" button, I am able to select what folder I want to download the binary file to.
    Once I click save, nothing else happens. I am taken to the "Thank you for downloading itunes" screen, but there is no record of my download anywhere, and the file is simply not saving.

    So weird...I don't know why so many folks have this problem. Why won't the silly file download from Apple? When I click "save file" absolutely nothing happens. A dialogue box should pop up asking me where to save it.
    My solution was to finally download it from one of the many file servers. I used one called "filehorse" and it downloaded right away.
    How can one use their nifty iOS device if they can't install itunes on their computer?!
    I tried the recommended "fixes", one of which included deleting the "temp" folder (which was not so easy to delete, required booting to safe mode command prompt) but made no difference. This was all using Firefox. IE is the only other browser on my computer, which seems to be permanently broken (most sites do not show properly even after using IE's "reset" feature).
    I refuse to install Chrome, I tried it once and it sucked. Hopefully Apple will fix this silly issue so that next time I need to download iTunes, I can do it. Thank you!

  • Reader enabled PDF won't save to Word

    Hi,
    I'm sorry if I'm not putting this question in the right place, but I can't find a better location.
    We have a PDF that's reader enabled for editing with the typewriter tool, and we want to save it as a Word document.  Whenever File > Save as >  Word doc is clicked, we get a message that Acrobat has stopped working.  This is only with this particular PDF, as we've tried 'plain' ones that converted beautifully.
    How can I save the reader-enabled PDF as a plain PDF?
    Thank you!

    Thanks for replying!
    There is no 'Save a copy' in the File menu; maybe that option is just in
    Acrobat, not Reader.  I solved it, though; what I did was print to Adobe
    PDF.  As we know, that doesn't actually print anything, it just saves; and
    it was saved as a plain PDF!  Well, that was a lesson learned...and enabled
    PDF cannot be converted.
    Thanks anyways!

  • PDFs won't save in iBooks

    I used to be able to open in iBooks and my PDFs would save into iBooks.  It was a great system.  It appears ios5 has created issues with this. I try at least 4-5 times per PDF and it still doesn't work.  It for a split second appears to work then it disappears.  I have rebooted and restarted but still doesn't work.  I am saving PDFs to kindle currently which over comes the problem however I want my iBooks back.

    Sorry to hear that the problem is back.
    I don't know if you have a problematic pdf file causing the issue, an app conflict, iBooks just can't handle the load - or who knows whatever at this point.
    I don't know what else to try except to go back to the basics. Why don't you close apps and restart - if you haven't tried this already. You shouldn't have to close apps at all - unless of course one of your apps is wreaking havoc for some reason with iBooks. See if that makes any difference.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • 300,000pg PDF won't save after combining is finished

    Hello-
    I'm attempting to create a 1.6GB PDF that continually errors when saving. The error states that i've run out of memory but i'm using a machine with 8GB of RAM and 30-70GB of virtual memory (another post said this may help). We have successfully created other files nearing 1.4GB at 250K pages with success.
    Any ideas?

    I don't have the answer on the size change. So say there is no size limit, but the effects I and others have seen suggest there is a limit. I don't have a good answer for you, sorry. Maybe others will be by with some ideas.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format

    HP Officejet Pro  8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format
    The scanner scans the document without a problem but when I select 'SAVE' and
    specify a location and file name, a system error 'The HP scan application was
    unable to save the file to the specified location'.  It will save a regular PDF file
    or a  JPG file with no problem, but trying to save an searchable PDF or .rtf file
    results in the above mentioned system error.
    This problem occurs either from HP SCAN or from the 8600 scan panel.
    The computer is running Windows XP and the I.R.I.S. OCR software is
    loaded.

    Hello TrailsEnd,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're receiving an error message "The HP scan application was unable to save the file to the specified location". I will do my best to assist you!
    First, I would recommend downloading this tool called the Print and Scan Doctor. This tool diagnoses and helps resolve common printing, scanning, and connectivity problems, including: (This information is stated here.)
    USB: Verifies that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.
    Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working correctly.
    Device Status Test : Checks for device errors such as out of paper, paper jams, carriage stalls, and paper feed issues, and then provides instructions for fixing the error.
    Driver Check : Checks for missing or corrupt driver files.
    Device Manager : Checks for problems in Device Manager that would prevent printing.
    Device Online : Checks if the product has been paused or set to offline, and then sets the status back to online if necessary.
    Print Queue : Checks for and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a log of print jobs waiting to print).
    Port Match : Checks the port settings for the HP product.
    Device Conflicts : Checks for conflicts with other drivers, such as other printer brands.
    Ink Issues : Checks the cartridges and ink levels for issues that affect print quality.
    Print Settings : Checks and adjusts the print quality settings.
    Test Print : Prints a test page for print quality evaluation, and provides options for cleaning and aligning the printhead if necessary.
    Scan Tests : Checks the scan mechanism, drivers, and registry entries.
    Let me know if this tool fixes a scanning problem on this post. If this doesn't resolve your issue, then I am going to recommend uninstalling the software. Please follow this HP document on Uninstalling the Printer Software. 
    Once this is complete, you can perform a clean boot on your computer. I will provide a Microsoft document here to help you. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program. Now, you can install the full feature software from the HP website here.
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

  • Samsung 1630w won't save as pdf

    After all the hassles with 10.5 and an hp1012, I just got a Samsung ML1630W. It is wireless, set up with airport (11g) no problems. But it won't save as pdf (in print). It says go to file>save. I hate to jinks a new printer that works, but it seems apple released samsung drivers when leopard came out. I was wondering if this might work. I think this printer is a newer model, though. Any ideas or work arounds.

    Oh, probably just a distiller hiccup. Glad to hear it works now. I have had my share of Adobe background processes problems, too, and I wouldn't have thought to reboot right away either. Make sure to mark this question 'answered' when you get a chance.

  • Acrobat won't save any more links in a PDF. Why?

    I am adding links to a PDF file. I have done several, including the index of the file. Acrobat won't save any more though. Why?

    Sara,
    The Save As allows me to save the changes, but the regular save will still not function. I seem to recall a similar issue with the last version of this document, with a similar number of links.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Reader Version 11.0.10 won't save pdf file as original file name

    We are currently using Adobe Reader Version 11.0.10.
    When we open and existing pdf file then make any changes (using the Fill & Sign Tab at the top right hand side) then click Save it won't save the file.  We have to re-name the file in order to save it.
    This was working ok back in January and wondered if there has been an up-date since then that has made this error occur?
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.  We have tried that but it has not made any difference.  Adobe still requires a new file name to save the file.

    Currently running Adobe XI Standard, i have a PDF that i Save As excel however on my computer it converts it differently than my coworkers computer who has the same Adobe version and same version of Excel 2010. Is something different selected on mine than his? How can i troubleshoot?
    Can provide more information if needed...

    Hello nmohamm,
    To examine the conversion settings in Acrobat, do the following:
    1. Select Edit > Preferences
    2. In the preferences dialog, select the "Convert From PDF" category.
    3. In the "Converting From PDF" list, select "Excel workbook".
    4. Click the "Edit Settings" button to view your conversion settings.

  • I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files.  For some reason, just this past week Image Capture will no longer save the file.  It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.

    I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files.  For some reason, just this past week, Image Capture will no longer save the file.  It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.
    The file name has no special character in it, just letters and no spaces.
    I have done this in the past and it has worked, but now it will not.
    I have not upgraded any software, that I am aware of.
    After scanning, the Image Capture pops up the Scan Results with the file name in the window, but neither the Scan Results nor the Image Capture window responds to inputs.  The Image Capture window is frozen, with only the "Overview" and "Cancel" buttons active (but non-responsive).
    Is this a software issue or a scanner hardware issue?  I am using a HP Photosmart C6200 series printer/scanner on a network using a Time Capsule airport.
    Thanks.

    I had the same problem.
    Got a 90% fix.  Apparently the Mavericks preferences won't work with Yosemite, so I just deleted the Image Capture preferences.
    Unfortunately, the "Scan to" folder seems to be permanently set to the Pictures folder.
    1.  Quit Image Capture
    2.  Go to Finder > Go > Home, which opens up your home folder (named after your user name)
    3.  Open Library > Preferences > com.apple.ImageCapture.plist - Drag this file to the Trash
    4.  Start "Image Capture", click "Details" and change all your settings as you prefer
    5.  Quit and restart "Image Capture".   Notice it remembers all your settings except "Scan to" folder.  It insists on saving to "Pictures".
    That's as far as I was successful.  I tried changing the "Scan to" folder to "Desktop", but on launch, Image Capture always sets it back to "Pictures".
    This is what I tried:
    6.  Download and install "Pref Setter" from http://www.nightproductions.net/prefsetter.html
    7.  Quit "Image Capture".  Right-click on "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist" and open with Pref Setter.
    8.  Search for "Pictures", which finds "~/Pictures" (the tilde character at the start means your home directory).
    9.  Double-click on "~/Pictures" and change it to the folder you prefer.  I like "~/Desktop"
    10. Choose File > Save then Quit from Pref Setter.  Note that re-opening the plist file still shows "~/Desktop"
    11. Start up "Image Capture" -- on startup, "Image Capture" sets "Scan to" folder to "Pictures"
    I consider this a bug.

    What is your operating system?  What is your email client?  What exactly means "did not work"?

  • Form Fields won't save when coworker saves PDF file

    I am on Acrobat pro (mac osx), my coworker is on Acrobat Reader 9 (pc, XP). I made some form fields in a PDF file and saved it. Everytime she changes some of the text in the fields and tries to save it won't save the stuff she entered. Everytime she opens it, it contains my orignal field data.
    What steps do I need to take to make it to where she can enter in her own text and save without losing data.

    You need to Reader-enable the form. If you have Acrobat 10, select: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
