Reader asks to save some documents

Sometimes (I think older pdf-documents) the reader 11 asks me to save the document even if I haven't done any changes.
How can I stop this?

That I couldn't do. I'm a freelance web designer, not an Adobe employee. I just volunteer here. The "prevent security breaches" came from a release note I read some time back. It's generic for "we fixed some things we missed the first time" as far as I know.

Anytime I click on a .pdf I am asked to save the document rather than allowing me to just view it.

Anytime I click on a link to a .pdf I am asked to save the document. I would like to simply view most. I have been unable to determine how to change this. I am not sure whether it is a setting in Firefox, Acrobat, or my system. In the dialogue box that asks whether I would like to open or save the file, I had checked the box indicating that the files should always be opened, but this did not happen. It kept asking whether to "open file" or "save file." Then I had a file I wanted to save, so I clicked that radio button and saved that file. Now, it will no longer allow me to open files.
Thanks for your help...

Please update to the most recent version of Firefox:
*[[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
[[How to fix preferences that won't save]] or reset the saved setting in the Applications panel-> [[Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files]]
Or set it as default:
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac).
#In the Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac) window, select the ''Applications'' panel.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right hand side you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

How to not be asked to save unchanged documents?

New MacBook with Leopard Snow. Files from an old iMac Panther. In Pages, opening old Claris Works .cwk files, when there's no changes I'm asked to discard or save changes. When there have been changes made I can't just just save, I'm given the save dialogue box as if I said save as, and it doesn't even remember where the document was from, I have to refind it. Both of these things are asoundingly annoying.
Can anyone tell me please, how to stop this happening? I guess one way is to install Claris Works. That way the person who uses it will never be able to upgrade OS though as Leopard Snow is the last to be able to run older software. So I'm wondering if there's something I can do to Pages?
Thanks.

When you open an Appleworks (previously ClarisWorks) file in Pages (or Numbers) you're creating a new document. If you discard changes, the Pages document will be deleted; the change was the creation of the document.
If you accept the save, you will get the normal dialogue asking for a name and location.
You will then have a Pages document and an AppleWorks document.
There is no further need to open that particular AW file again
It will occur each time you open a AW (CW) file in iWork, once per file unless you discard the changes and then open the same file again.
You could if you wish install AppleWorks 6.2.9 if you can find it. However, once converted to iWork formats the only use for the old AW files is as an archive.
In other words, no you can't get round it, but you only need to do it once per file.

Adobe Reader Asks for "Save as" Rather than saving changes in the file

Hi everybidy,
I have a fillable PDF form designed in Livecycle designer and it is reader extended. When I fill that form on MAC it let me fill and save the form as amny times as I like. Everytime I make any change I just click the save button it saves changes in the same form. BUT is is behaving differently on Windows. After filling the form out when I click on save button it opens up "Save as " dialogue box to save a new copy with those changes. I have Adobe reader XI and Adobe Acrobat XI installed on windows. I know I can do that with Acrobat but I want that in reader for users who dont have acrobat.
Please help me.....
Thanks

Hi Gilad,
Can you please explain what do you mean by preview?

Microsoft Office 2004 (Word) unable to save files
I have been running Office 2004 on my Intel iMac with Snow Leopard for some time and all of a sudden I cannot save a document. Word just stopped responding and I have to force quit. I can open Word and create a new document but I cannot save it. I reinstalled Word but that didn’t help. Then went to the Internet and found at least one other Mac user having the same problem which it suggests is caused by a recent Mac Security Update:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2004-macword/word-2004-wil l-not-open-or-save-documents/b04eb870-9b0d-4f3b-bb47-b122301e36f6
So I check for a new Mac Security Update and sure enough there was one. I downloaded it and now Word seems to be working, as it should. I can both open and save files. The only problem remaining is that when I open Word I get the following error message “An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library”. I contacted Apple but they were unable to help.
How can I get rid of this error message?

Look, I realize you might have to get your machine working, so this is how you revert back.
Restore proceedure to pre-Security Update 2012-001 v 1.0 & v 1.1
#1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
#2 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk of your internal drive (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway) or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
#3 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001 v1.0 or v1.1
Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
#4 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason as they are missing the part they installed into OS X.
If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

That's it really.

Adobe Reader 11.0.5 asks to save every file I open...

Every time I open a file just to look at it: When I exit, Adobe Reader asks if I want to save the file. This happens on every file I open, regardless of the source or type of PDF. It also happens when I open those files in Adobe Acrobat Pro, version 9. This has only started relatively recently. I didn't pay much attention at first, because I had other things on my mind, but now it is starting to concern me.
This reminds me of (way back in the day) when there were Word viruses going around which tried to install themselves in every Word document you opened.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this, or how I can get it to stop?

This phenomenon can happen with PDF files that have errors in them. Adobe Reader or Acrobat may be able to fix these errors, but if you close the application, it will ask to save the corrected file. If you save it once, that should no longer occur when you open it again.
This is just one explanation, but it doesn't explain why that happens with every PDF you have.
Test: does it also happen with a PDF that is not supposed to contain any errors: http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/adobe_reader_reference.pdf ?

InDesign (10.0.0.70) always asks to save every time I open an existing document (no legacy) even if I don't make any changes, why?

Literally EVERY time I open an existing document that I created myself before InDesign brings up the "Save" Dialog when I close it. I'm working with the Creative Suite like forever already and only had that sometimes, very rarely before (up to CS6). Now at my new job with CC set up this phenomenon appears. ALL files are saved on local hard drive!
Any idea or is InDesign now set to ask all the time?
Thanks for any tips!

I totally understand version issues, BUT I did create tons of new documents in CC2014 already and still every time I've been ask to save it only when opening and closing them! Like I said it happens EVERY time and I'm working constantly with InDesign. Up until now I only kinda accepted what it is and didn't have time to deal with that problem...

Not Working: Enable Reader to Save the Document

I'm having a problem that's mentioned in the first post on this knowledgebase thread: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/3D/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7e0d.w.html
I have Acrobat Pro 8.0 and Acrobat Reader 8.0 installed, so I should not be having this issue. After I've enabled reader to save the document within Reader, and I test it within Reader 8.0, I get this message:
Outgoing Message Notification
An email message with "documentname.pdf" attached has been given to your default email application. If your email application is configured to send email automatically on a schedule, the email will b sent automatically.
If not, you will need to send the message manually.
But my default email application (Outlook) doesn't open an email up. I've checked the "internet properties" for my browser, and Outlook is set as the default email application, so I'm not sure why it's not working. PLEASE HELP!!!

As Graffiti said, I am just trying to help you from going down a frustrating path. You can enable Reader Right's in Acrobat (if you designed the form in LiveCycle Designer, you may have to follow a slightly different path) to allow the full form to be saved. However, you can have the form data (XML or FDF) submitted and that does not require the save step. The issue with the save is that you are limited to 500 uses by the EULA (looks like your form was a general use form and you would likely exceed the limit).
The submitted data can be imported to the form and so you can easily have the same results as getting the full form with data.
The problem with e-mail submission is that it is dependent on the client machine, something you have no control over unless you are in a controlled environment and the machines can be controlled as a result. MAPI is the Windows interface that allows other programs to access e-mail. There are at least 2 versions of it and many folks do not activate it. Thus, those without MAPI activated would flood you with the complaints about it not working. You are welcome to try to set up instructions to tell folks how to activate it, but they would likely have something else to say to you or simply get lost -- a good way to lose business. If you do not need the data formatted, you can have it submitted to cgi-mail or formmail that may be on your server. In that case you will have to have the data formatted in an HTML form (one of the options in Acrobat forms, not sure about Designer). Then the data would be submitted just like on a web form to the mail script. These scripts require hidden fields to know where to send the mail and such.
What I meant to say is that it is unfortunate that the manual suggests e-mail when it is not a good method to use for form submission. We address this issue 3 or 4 times a week with folks. There are several forum topics that relate to your question, all saying pretty much the same. Sorry if you do not like the answer, but that is the way it is. Use e-mail submission if you wish, but be prepared for complaints. At least you know why you will be getting them. Apparently some MAC users have some similar problems with e-mail submission. I have no idea about UNIX users in general. It even sounds like you don't have things set up correctly on your e-mail and you are expecting it to work for other folks? That's the problem!

When I save a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then open it, I am unable to read it

When I save a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then open it, I am unable to read it because it is gibberish with all kinds of symbols and numbers. I understand it has something to do with Adobe Reader. Has anyone else had this problem and how do I correct it?

Put your cursor on the icon of one of your scanned documents. Click on the right button of your mouse. In the list that will appear, put your cursor on Properties and click on the left button of your mouse. In the window that you'll get, read and make a note of what you see next to "File type" and "Opens with". Then post here what you saw.
If you don't understand these instructions, please ask for more details.

Why are some of my links not opening when I save a document as a pdf? They are opening in word.

The links are opening in microsoft word documents but when I save the document to a pdf some of the links are not opening. The links are containing % or lots of extra numbers. How can I prevent this from happening?

What is your operating system? Reader version? How do you convert to PDF?
You write that "some" of the links don't open; what's the difference with links that do open?

Why Reader X is asking to save?

When I open PDF from gmail (received as an attachement) just to view it, and then close it, Reader X asks for saving the file. Does anyone know how to disable it?

It could be that someting in the file (such as a JavaScript action) is causing a change, so Reader asks if you want to save the modified document. I'm not aware of a way to prevent this.

How do you save Pages documents so that someone can read them when e-mailed to a pc

Unable to save Word documents when accessing them directly from the site because the document never converts from a read-only even though the User chooses to enable editing

Issue has only popped up recently and cannot reproduce in a Test environment. Unaware of any SharePoint changes, so hoping someone can point me in the correct direction.
Previously Word document did not have to be physically checked out, but rather the editing of the doc also checked out the doc in a document library. This is the way we want it to remain –
no manual check-out process. Now if a doc is edited without being checked-out, there is an issue with the process as the application thinks the doc is read-only (message received when trying to save the doc) even if enable editing is selected. The
following message appears when you try to save the document:
This message can appear if you have been editing a file that was opened as read-only. A file opened as read-only will have (Read-Only) appended to the file name as it appears in the title bar of Word. You can still save the document, but you must
save it by using a different file name. If you use Windows Explorer to change the read-only properties of the file, while the file is open in Word, it will not enable Word to save the file. Word must open a non-read-only version of the file in order to save
it by using its original file name. If you have not made any changes to the file, you can close it, and then use the following steps to make the file writeable. 1. Click the File tab, and then click Open. 2. Browse to the file and right-click it. 3. Click
Properties, and then clear the Read-Only check box. 4. Reopen the file. If you have made changes to a read-only file, you can save it, and then use the following steps to give the modified file the original file name. 1. Click the File tab, and then click
Save As. 2. Enter a different file name, and then click Save. 3. NOTE: Adding "Rev1", or "Mod1" to the original file name may help you to remember it later. 4. Click the File tab, and then click Close. 5. Open Windows Explorer. 6. Browse
to the original read-only file. 7. Rename the read-only file. 8. Browse to the new file. 9. Rename the new file to the name of the original file. Do not delete the read-only file until after you have determined you no longer need it.
Previously, when check-out was optional, a file was checked out automatically when someone opened it for editing, unless it was already checked out. The editing commands notified the User that the file is being/was checked out. The real issue is the
word doc can no longer be saved as the application still believes the doc is read-only.

Hi,
According to your description, you give the domain admin full control over files on the old file server, but you cannot move the files to the new file server. After pull the files from the old to the new file server, the domain admin can only read the files
on the new file server.
How did you move the files from the old file server to the new file server? Did you setup replication between the two file server or use robocopy?
Please check the files permissions on the new file server to see if the permissions are changed, then share the folder on the new file server to everyone to see the result.
Regards,
Mandy

Which API can use to save PDF document with Adobe Reader 9?

Hello,
which API can use to save PDF document with Adobe Reader 9? It is said that "CosDocSaveWithParams" can't be used.
thanks!
jimmy

Unless the PDF file is "READER ENABLED for SAVE" (see the adobe product pages on LiveCycle Reader extensions server)
You are not able to call a Save at all, if the document is reader enabled then you need to use the JavaScript call to save the document,
As you appear to be wanting to do this in a plug-in you would need to call the script from a plug-in, this can be done using the AFExecuteThisScript () function call.
Please note that this does will fail if the document is not reader enabled for save and you need to include the Forms HFT in your plug-in,
This plug-in would also have to be approved by Adobe to be used with the reader and as you are implementing a function that is available in the full Acrobat product this may not be a straight forward approval.
