Problems saving open files

I've recently been having troubles saving an open PDF file. I'm getting the error message: "The document could not be saved. The file may be read-only, or another user may have it opened. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder." This happens randomly and happens on more than just particular one file. Currently I'm running Acrobat Professional 9.4.1 on a Windows 7 Ultimate operating system. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

You may look here:
Click "Start," "Control Panel," "Appearance and Personalization," then click "Folder Options."

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/

Problem saving gif file over the net

I am using a simple loop to save files using a URL Connection. It grabs html files fine and they look right but when I used to to download an animated gif it had an error. It saved the file but when I tried to open the image I got a "drawing failed" message.
I compared it to the working image and the sizes were identical. I also compared the characters in notepad and the beginning and end characters were identical. I looked at the preview in "My Computer" when you select it and it drew only the first line or so. This makes me believe it is a problem with how it switches lines when saving. I checked the ends of the lines though and they also seem identicall. Any ideas? Here is the code. Thankyou.
FileWriter fileName = new FileWriter(saveFileName);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(
newConnection.getInputStream()
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(fileName);
for (;;) {
int data = in.read();
// Check for EOF
if (data == -1) break;
else {
System.out.print ( (char) data);
out.write(data);
}

GIF files are binary files and can be corrupted if you use the Reader and Writer classes. Use the *Stream classes, like FileInputStream and FileOutputStream.

Problems saving a file in Adobe Reader 11 after highlighting

Hi,
Has anyone come across a problem where Adobe Reader 11 seems to have problems in saving certain files after highlighting some text?
One of our processes involves checking information and to do this we open up a saved PDF file in Adobe Reader 11 and highlight the relevant text to confirm the amounts have been checked, and then save the file.
This is all done in Adobe Reader - not the full version and not using any external helpers etc, and running under Windows 8 64 bit.
However one of our users is having problems with certain PDF files where, when she goes to save the file after highlighting, it comes up with an error saying that it can't save to this filename and requests that a new filename is entered. If we then save to a new file, and then save as to the original file it works.
So basically this user is having to save the PDF file twice after highlighting - which is annoying.
The strange thing is it appears to only be happening with PDFs created from certain applications on our system (payroll software and BACS processing software) whilst other PDFs work fine. Another user, also using Adobe Reader 11 and also using Windows 8 64 Bit, can open up the problem files, highlight text and save the changes without any problem at all, so it doesn't appear to be the files themselves.
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Adobe Reader without any success.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks

I'm getting something similar, but the message I get is "...pdf already exists. Do you want to replace it?" I click 'Yes' and the document is replaced under its original file name. This is using Reader 11.0.10.
Sorry - I should have been clearer.
She gets exactly that question, but when she clicks yes, then she gets 'The document could not be saved. Cannot save to this filename. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder.' At this point the name of the document as shown at the top of the screen has changed to a ???????.tmp filename.
Trying to save this document over the top of the original now works.
It looks like something is locking the original file and only releasing it after the attempted save, which then allows the original to be saved over.
Also using 11.0.10

Photoshop Elements 8 crashes when saving/opening file

Hello,
Since a day or two my PSE 8 crashes when i want to save or open a file.
It just closes without a crash reporter.
Is there anyone who can help me with this?
Regards,
Djmaster329

I am using a macbook pro running OS version 10.9. My version of Adobe Elements 8 came free with my purchase of a Wacom Bamboo drawing tablet.
I have the exact same problem.
- Creating a new blank image and saving it causes a crash. However, saving an existing image does not.
- Using the (File > Open), (File > Save) and (File > Save as) menu options causes a crash.
- Using the File > Save for web causes a crash as soon as I confirm.
So, I create a new blank image in Gimp with the dimensions that I want, export it as a .psd file, and open it by right clicking the blank .psd and selecting (Open with: Adobe Photoshop Elements 8). At this point, (File > Save) and (Command-S) save the image without causing crashes.
However, it's anoying that I have to use two programs to make one image. PSE 8 synergises well with my drawing tablet, but Gimp can create new images. It's really frustrating.
I think I reset my PSE preferences properly, but I'm not sure. Is there supposed to be a dialogue box confirming that my preferences have been reset? I'm not seeing one.
I'd really appreciate some help regarding this issue. Perhaps I should submit a ticket to Adobe support. Can I do that? I'm new here.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to read this long post.

PROBLEM SAVING LARGE FILES ON ACROBAT READER XI

I download a largish document (70 - 100 MB) from the on-line storage folder of a friend. But am unable to save it on my PC. I have the recent version of Acrobat Reader 11.0.5 on a PC using Windows 8 and this opens this or any other pdf file without problem. But as soon as I go to save the large files the programme crashes with a 'There's a problem' notice. I then discover it has saved a file name but without file content. Any ideas how I can tackle this problem? Colin

"Online storage" - does that mean a website that is accessed via a browser? If so, you can download the document by right-clicking on the link to the PDF, then select 'Save link as' or 'Save target as'.

Problem saving .ai file into a pdf

Hi, I've been saving .ai files into .pdf's forever without any problems but now I can't and I can't figure it out. I am working in CS4 with a CS4 file. Here is the error I am getting. Maybe its just been too long of a day.
This is an Adobe® Illustrator® File that was saved without PDF Content. To Place or open this le in other applications, it should be re-saved from
Adobe Illustrator with the "Create PDF Compatible File" option turned on. Thisoption is in the Illustrator Native Format Options dialog box, which appears when saving an Adobe Illustrator le using the Save As command.
I can't find the 'This option is in the Illustrator Native Format Options dialog box, which appears when saving an Adobe Illustrator le using the
Save As command.'
Help!
thanks

When you save as a native .ai file you should get a option dialog box to select options. Here is what the dialog looks like on the Mac OS.
The first check box under Options is what I'm guessing you want to check.

Numbers - problem to open files with iPhone.

Hello! I have a problem to open a numbers file on Iphone. this file is made with Mac and use the function "SE". I understand tha t the problem is on a table where I use this function. If I delete this part I'm able to open with the Iphone. I try also to cut the expression on 2 different "se" but not work. I'have a dubt about the possibiliy of use the "se" function on the numbers on Iphone.
Someone have a problem like this? And find a soluction?
Can you help me?
Thanks
Paolo

Hi, I see your answer but I don't agree for 3 reasons:
1 - On numbers on mac the functions with ";" work good;
2 - I try to put the comma like your suggestion but the system show me an error on the formula with the red triangle
3 - I read another time the online help about the instruction and is correct the ";"
Follow I put a short screen-shot of the instruction help:
SE
La funzione SE restituisce uno dei due valori specificati a seconda che il suo risultato sia il valore booleano VERO o FALSO.
SE(se_espressione; se_vero; se_falso)
Thanks for your help but for the moments i follow to don't solve my problems.
bye

Illustrator cs6 "this file cannot be found" problem when open file from network

I used to install the trial version of Illustrator CC on my desktop and then when the trial run out I decide to go with illustrator CS6 instead, So I decide to buy &
install Illustrator CS6 on our desktop and everything seem to be fine except
the problem is our .ai file is located on the network shared drive of the design team,
When we try to open the file from the network drive with illustrator CS6, it said "This file cannot be found"
- we try to copy the file from network drive to our desktop and file can open without problem
- if we directly double click the file from the network drive to launch the illustrator CS6 with that file. It's also fine, no problem at all.
- but if we open the illustrator CS6 first and try open.. and then browse to that file on network, then "This file cannot be found" happen again.
- Illustrator CS6 have no problem open file in the local harddisk.
- Illustrator CC never have this problem open file in our network drive, try reinstall the Illustrator CC trial again and it can open without problem
- I try using Adobe CC Cleaner tool to remove everything before reinstall the Illustrator CS6, still no luck.
- Try remove the Adobe relate folder in user/user/Appdata and then reinstall, still no luck
- Try right click and open with --> Illustrator CS6 , yes if we double click the file directly it's ok, but as mentioned if we open illustrator first then browse for the file, the problem happen.

Trying to create multithreading problems when opening file dialog

Warning: Newbie to Labview...
I have a problem in a rather complicated VI where bringing up the open file dialog halts some background operations.
I would really like to reproduce this behaviour for various reasons, but am unable to. I've created a simple VI with a for-loop where the index feeds a sine converter which in turn feeds a tank indicator. This produces an oscillating behaviour. To this VI I've added a file dialog control.
Regardless of the multithreading setup, I'm unable to get the oscillating of the tank indicator to stop when the dialog is open. Is there something I can do to get this behaviour? I realize it's unusual to try to break things, but it is rather important for me.
Tha
nk you,
Nigel

Hi,
The for loop (all loops by the way) is halted until everything in it is
finished.
Try this:
+ Make a while loop
+ wire TRUE to the stop criterium.
+ Put an indicator on the 'I'.
+ Put a MS Wait in it (e.g. 80 ms), to prevent 100% processor time.
Run it, and the indicator will increase fast.
Now put any dialog in the while loop. E.g. a message box.
The indicator will increase everytime you press 'OK'.
Note: stop by pressing CTRL+. and clicking 'OK' several times.
Regards,
Wiebe.

Problem to open files

I can not open files (tiff, jpeg ...) in photoshop by double-clicking or by dragging and dropping (the alert is: "The document could not be opened. Photoshop can not open files in Adobe Photoshop JPEG file format") I can open just with the open menu.

You have to provide system information and other details.

Problems saving AI file to an EPS

I am try to save an Illustrator file as an EPS, and I keep getting the message: NOT ENOUGH MEMORY OR IMAGE IS TOO COMPLEX, CHANGING THE DOCUMENT WINDOW MAY HELP. I am using CS6. I have done this over and over for years. Now as of two days ago I keep getting this message and it's starting to affect the business flow because I can not come up with a solution. I have looked around online for two days without any luck. Can someone help me please?
Dan

I am using a PC with Windows 7. What I'm doing exactly is taking a high res. image in Photoshop CS6. Flattening the image, creating channels for my specific colors and then saving the file as a DCS 2.0 file. After that, I'm placing that EPS file into a predetermined art board size in illustrator. Once I have it in place I am then saving that illustrator file as an EPS to run it thru a RIP program. It sounds a little weird all the jumping around but it is necessary for what I have to do. And it has always worked just fine until two days ago. When you say I don't have enough scratch disk space, are you referring to Photoshop? I can not find an option in Illustrator to adjust? Thank you very much for all or any help with this.
