Possible to access earlier versions of a saved PDF file?

Hi, I have a Macbook 10.6.8.  I was having some issues with Preview so I was using a trial version of Wondershare PDF Editor to make some edits on a PDF.  After saving my work, however, it stamped a big watermark onto each page of the PDF, making a part of each page difficult to read.  Opening up the PDF in another program does not make the watermark go away.  I only have one copy of the PDF and would like to revert back to an earlier version without the watermark.  According to Wondershare, the only way to remove the watermark is to purchase the program, which I don't want to do.  Does my Mac allow me to access earlier versions of a saved file?
Thanks!

Hmm!!!  You know what, I do have an old version!!  However, the PDF I want already has edits from Preview on 100+ pages.  The version on Time Machine is completely blank without any edits.  I guess the blank is better than nothing so if I don't find any other answer, I'll do that.  Thanks!!

  • Accessing saved PDF files

    What is the operating system of that device?

  • Custom "Save as PDF" directly to a destination folder overwrites previously saved PDF files

    Custom "Save as PDF" directly to a destination folder overwrites previously saved PDF files
    As many of you will know, within Mac OSX it is possible to "print" any document off as a PDF.  You simply prepare your document then invoke the "Print" command and in the resulting print dialog box, click the "PDF" button in the bottom left corner which spills out a menu with various options including "Save as PDF..." as shown in the image below:
    Selecting the last option "Edit Menu" permits users to add specific folders to which a PDF of the document will be saved.  As you will note from the image above, I have created a number of destinations such as "Bank Transfers" (for anything on screen in Safari I wish to preserve when using my on-line banking facility); "Bind" (which I use with an Automator workflow to consolidate many PDFs into one long document); "Officeworks" (for stuff I need to copy to a USB stick and have printed on on large plotters); "iPad" (for anything I need to put on my iPad through "iAnnotate" or "Documents") etc
    The problem I have discovered is that with the introduction of Mountain Lion, PDFs that get saved directly to a destination folder get overwritten by later versions of PDFs that are produced from the same document.  This is fine when working on a single document that you may want to have the latest print of a document but not so when you produce many different PDFs from the same browser window in Safari as you surf through a number of websites etc.
    Prior to Mountain Lion, pervious versions were never over-written but rather preserved them with new versions having version number suffixes added e.g., untitled.pdf, followed by untitled1.pdf, untitled2.pdf, untitled3.pdf etc.
    Does anyone else have this problem?
    Does anyone have a solution to this problem? (other than a workaround like switching to Finder to rename or move files around)

    The "Save to Web Receipts" bug existed for a long time - here's a MacOSXHints article offering a workaround in 2007.  Here's another reference to it in 2009.  Your contention that:
    Prior to Mountain Lion, pervious [sic] versions were never over-written.
    is, I'm afraid, wrong.
    Apple fixed (worked around) that bug by using a .pdfworkflow, as I indicated.  As I also indicated, this file can't be opened with Automator (or I just don't know how, which is no great surprise ).  But it's the answer to your problems.
    You can either wait for Apple to fix what is, admittedly, a huge bug in their PDF Services feature, or you can find a way of implementing the same fix they did for your own folders.
    I should be doing the same, as I use PDF Services regularly, but I'm too lazy and have had too little success with Automator in general to give it a shot.  You may have more success than I did.
    Good luck

  • Get "Access Denied" when click open a PDF file

    Hi Friends,
    Get "Access Denied" when click open a PDF file linked from SharePoint 2013 page.
    What are the route causes any one is remove the permissions are stopped the inheritance permissions of the library.
    Can anyone face the same issue please help me.

    Hi,
    If you are able to open the same document earlier,then  anonymous access enabled on your doc library then.
    If you are facing this problem in first time,then you do not have required permission (may be custom permission level has been set ) on it.

  • Have saved pdf files to creative cloud but ipad cannot see any files

    I have saved pdf files from my Windows desktop to the Creative Cloud. They are visible there when accessed from my desktop. However when logging onto the Creative Cloud on either my iPad or iPhone it says there are "no documents to display".

    I hope you're referring to the iWork program Pages for Macs since that is the forum you posted in. If you want to view Pages documents on your iPad, you'll also need to get Pages for iOS from the iTunes App Store. While you're doing that, also download the free iBooks app. There are other PDF readers, but I use iBooks.
    You can use iTunes to sync documents between your Mac & your iPad. For PDFs you use File > Add to Library & they will appear under "Books." For Pages documents, you can use the File Sharing section of iTunes like in the screenshot below. You can also use iCloud.com to upload from your Mac but you will need to have your iPad connected to the internet to transfer the files from the cloud to the iPad.

  • Saved .pdf files won't open

    On MacBook Air running OSX Mavericks I've saved .pdf files from the Web and from documents I've scanned.  For many .pdf documents I get a dialog box that says, "Contact your computer or network administrator for assistance." 
    That's nice, but I'm the only one here.  These are important documents I’ve saved for a reason.  Any ideas how to get them open?

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    After more poking around I discovered the Sharing & Permissions setting in the Get Info dialog box were set to No Access.  I have no idea how that happened, but next time I save a .pdf I'll find whether the setting is part of the Save As dialog or not.

  • Is it possible to send a copy of invoice as PDF files to sales agents by e-

    Hi All,
    Please let me know my client needs this below requirement,
    Is it possible to send a copy of invoice as PDF files to sales agents by e-mail triggered by the invoicing or is it only possible manually through ZPDF?
    Best Regards
    Aditya

    Hi,
    Yes,It is possible to send an email as PDF file to desired people.
    For this we have to use the medium as "5(External send)".
    Also maintain the further data as "4".
    Ask your ABAPer to write a code to send the e-mail to sales agents.
    We have a similar requirement in our project also to send a PDF.We have developed a "Z" program and developed a "Z" smartform too.

  • HT5678 I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari. I don't have this problem with firefox

    I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari.  I don't have this problem with firefox.

    do they save ok if Safari - Preferences - Security - Allow all other plug-ins is unchecked ?
    If so, likely an adobe or other pdf plugin
    Re-check the setting above & quit any browsers,
    Look in this folder by triple-clicking the line below, then ctrl-clicking it & choosing Services - Open
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    remove anything with pdf in the filename & test again
    Sometimes, plug-ins can be in the User Library folder :
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/

  • Saving PDF files from illustrator

    Hi
    Can anybody help we are having an issue with illustrator cs3 and cs4 when saving pdf files
    as you can see this is the file in illustrator and the images butt togeather with a black line down the middle when we then save the pdf and we have tried different options it moves the image, the images are placed eps images. This is not file specific as we have tried other files/images.
    Can anybody help

    Yes I think I understand the problem and I believe it is expected behavior and I will explain.
    You must convert the images to cmyk in photoshop first before placing them in Illustrator or convert them after but since they are linked the conversion has to take place in photoshop by using the link panel to edit the original.
    Now it should work as expected but I did this without the using a black key line on the rectangle I used for my clipping so once you have the rectangles position if you still find you have this problem then go bak and redo the clipping mask without the black stroke.
    This is my result in Acrobat with the images converted to cmyk so I am positive you stated with RGB and did not convert before placing.
    As you can at 6400% magnification it is fine. This is the top edge of the two butted images when saved as pdf after converting the files to cmyk in Photoshop. PDX 1a supports CMYK.
    This is what it looks like when using the inked files when they are rgb

  • Is it possible to access a version of the Adobe Reader app that is compatible with iOS5.1.1?

    We use iPads to access PDF prints in a manufacturing environment. We now can't access a version of the app that is compatible with ourhardware. Is there an access point to get the older apps?

    Hi,
    Yes!  The App Store can provide the latest compatible version of Adobe Reader for your iPad running iOS 5.1.1.
    Please take a look at the following forum post to get the dialog with the message "Download an older version of this app?".

  • Adobe Reader XI does not reopen saved PDF files

    Reader XI will not open PDF files saved. Opens PDF saved using earlier version of Reader. Using MAC.

    Good News and bad news.
    The bad news is: The PDFs are irreparably damaged and you'll need to delete them.
    The good news is: you can prevent this from happening again.
    Download the ollfine Reader 11 installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    Save the DMG - DO NOT mount it or run the installer yet.
    Quit Safari.
    Go to: Mac HD/Applications
    Trash the Reader 11 app from there
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
    Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin file
    Trash the AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin file
    Empty the trash
    Mount the DMG and run the Reader installer.
    Open Safari and go to: Safari>Preferences
    Under the Security Tab, make sure "Allow all other plugins" is checked.
    You can now redownload the previously "damaged" PDFs and they will open.
