Reader X (10.01) locks up on Save As... (with workaround)

I wouldn't normally be posting this because frankly there are enough users of Reader out there who can post bug reports. However, I found a really strange workaround that I wanted to make sure was "out there" in case someone else in the community might benefit.
The situation is: Acobat Reader X locks up after Save As...
In my particular situation these were pretty large single-page PDFs, probably saved directly out of Photoshop or Illustrator. I had added all sorts of annotations using the Note Tool. After Save As... the Save dialog box didn't go away, even after half an hour.
However, just as I was about to give up and use Task Manager to force quit, I opened up Photoshop CS5. Instantly Reader unfroze and the file was saved and everyone was happy.
The next time the same situation occurred, I didn't even bother waiting. I just relaunched PS5 and it freed up Reader again.
So if you have CS5 installed and you run into Reader locking up, why not try launching one of the CS5 apps? Worked for me.

The only place that we use secured PDFs is through a website called readinga-z.com.  Which you need a paid account to access their PDFs.  I cannot provide you with a hotlink directly to their files.  I sent you a private message about this as well.   I have multiple employees having the same issue.
I have contacted readinga-z.com's support and they have not had any other reported issues similiar to what we are having. They directed me to contact adobe which is why I am now here.

  • Locking fields on save

    Hi there,
    I need to create a simple interactive form for my company. The form contains a few free-text fields and drop-down boxes. The only logic involved will be A) some fields being visible or invisible based on previous selections and B) once the form has been filled out, a button can be clicked to "lock down" and save the completed form.
    By lock-down I mean that each field will become read-only and non-editable (essentially want it to be a static PDF at that point) for distribution.
    My questions is how I can set the various object's value type attribute via javascipt? (the attribute I mean is the one that can have values of "User Entered - Optional", "Read Only" etc).
    I'm assuming this would be the standard way to do this, but to be honest I've only started using Lifecycle today so if there is an easier way to do this please let me know!
    FYI I'm using Lifecycle Designer 8
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    You set the access property to "readOnly". For example, in JavaScript for a field called 'firstName', form1.page1.firstName.access = "readOnly";

    This java class has no error.Then it should work - not only at compile time, but at run-time too.
    Because it does not, it means there are errors. And as the error you've posted is not an Oracle SQL or PL/SQL error, your question is off-topic to this forum.
    Why would the code not work at run-time? Numerous reasons, including environmental ones. Java inside Oracle are subjected to a number of restrictions and limitations that do not exist in a Java VM outside Oracle (for good reasons).
    So you need to consider that too - and that is why I referred you to the documentation... which is IMO mandatory reading for all Oracle developers.

  • How can I do a Save As with Adobe Reader Touch?

    Is there a way to do a File Save As with Touch?

    The Save As button is always available in the bottom toolbar of the document window.  In contrast, the Save button is visible only when a document has changed.
    To open the toolbar, you can
    Touch: Swipe up from the bottom edge.
    Mouse: Right-click with a mouse.
    Keyboard: Press the Windows key + Z.
    then tap/click the Save As button and select the new location.

    Hi, I was working on a PDF writing comments using Adobe Reader on a Mac.  I clicked save and got a 'cannot save' message.  I then clicked save as instead, Reader froze and my PDF disappeared.  The only version saved has only my first comment.  Does Adobe Reader save to temporary files that I can access in order to recover my work?  Is there any other way to recover it?  Thanks!

    Hi @Pat Willener,
    since I got the same problem as pdfprincess I hope you can help me. The 'Automatically save document changes to temporary file...' is enabled in my adobe reader.
    A file I worked (commented) on a lot crashed. When I reopened the file, adobe reader didn't ask if I want to restore my changes in this file, as it is written on the help.adobe.com page. Is there any possibility to restore the changes manually from the temporary file?
    Thanks in advance - it is really important for me to restore these changes!!

  • I have adobe reader X. Is there no way to save, print or e-mail changes to a secured pdf?

    I have adobe reader X. Is there no way to save, print or e-mail changes to a secured pdf? I've inputted changes and have digitally signed, but none of my edits seem to save?

    By what kind of security I meant what is allowed and what is not allowed under the security tab that I mentioned in my last post?
    You can look at that and see if it restricts what you are trying to do. If it does then yes, you need a version of Acrobat (and the password of course) to change it.

    Dear Brian:
    Create a Play List in iTunes.
    Control-Click and open "Export" in the highlighted Playlist in iTunes.
    With "Export" opened:
    1. Click on "Format" and choose "M3U";
    2. In "Save As" name your "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u"; and
    3. In "Where" tell the program where to send your "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u".
    You are done creating the Playlist.m3u in iTunes.
    Open "Subsonic Web Page".
    Left hand column open "Import playlist".
    In "Import playlist" click "Choose File" and open the "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u"; you created in iTunes.
    The "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u" should now occupy the space between "Choose File" and "OK".
    Click "OK".
    The file should now be in the "Playlist" on the left.

  • Pages 5.1 error "This document is too old. To open it, save it with Pages '09 first."

    When trying to open a Pages '08 file from a MacBook Pro in Pages 5.1 on an iMac, I get thr error message, "This document is too old. To open it, save it with Pages '09 first". I cannot locate a Pages '09 to use.  I can export the file from Pages '08 into a Microsoft Word Doc file and can open it then. How I do I solve the problem and open files in Pages 5.1?

    It is A solution that works if you don't have too many Page files to convert, but is very poor solution if trying to move everything off of the MacBook Pro to the iMac.  I don't necessarily need to open the 5 years of files, but if I need to look at something archived, I'm dead in the water.
    It doesn't make sense that a Mac can open a Microsoft product but cannot open a Mac product.  I can understand that a program is not forward compatibale, but almost all programs are backward compatible. This same problem appears with Numbers 3.1.
    Apple needs Microsoft as a solution?

  • HT204150 Cannot save contacts with no name in iCloud in Outlook.

    I cannot save contacts with no name in iCloud in Outlook.  The error messages are generic.  This is an issue, since most companies do not have a dedicated name to go to.  iCloud was always bad with contacts with no name.  The issue has gotten worse.  Also, this is a defect, since before you could do this, and now you can do this in iPhone and web iCloud.  This is one of many issues introduced by iCloud 3.

    I now find these USA type errors are only on the Address Book that comes up on my iMac when I go to iCloud.com    possibly because the iMac does not support iCloud
    My iPad and iPhone4 seem to be syncing OK re Contacts on iCloud  EXCEPT I have Duplicates and on my iPad I can see one Group relates to "iPad" while the second or Duplicates relates to " Unified"
    Is there any way via my iPad that I can eliminate all Contacts from this "Unified" Group and thereby eeliminate the Duplicates?

  • HT1750 Pages, This document can't be opened because it's too old.  To open it, save it with Pages 09 first          still can't open pages document

    I recently purchased a new Mac and I am having difficulty opening older Pages documents.
    Pages, This document can't be opened because it's too old.  To open it, save it with Pages 09 first          still can't open pages document

    Either you have access to Pages ’08 v3, Pages ’09 v4, or neither. One of these older, but more functional versions of Pages can open, and export the document in question to Word. Preview on OS X 10.9.5 and Yosemite can view Pages ’08 documents (in my experience). It is not obvious to me that Preview may be using the installed Pages ’09 v4.3 to assist in opening these '08 documents.
    Once opened in Preview, you can select/paste text into Pages v5.2.2, or v5.5. If you want the images from the PDF, then export it from Preview as PDF, and then drag/drop onto latest free LibreOffice icon in the Dock, which will open the PDF for editing. Select, copy, and paste the images into Pages v5, or incorporate into Text boxes, or Shapes. When pasted, images will be in their original size/resolution, not necessarily as small as they appear in the PDF.
    If the second paragraph is a chore, then follow Peggy's advice above on the sources for purchase of Pages ’09.
    In the future, I would not recommend trusting document architecture to Apple, and use a more accessible format (.doc/x) for better cross-platform access, longevity, and application choice. You may find LibreOffice, or Office for Mac 2011 a better choice for features.
