Save a pdf?

I just started playing D&D with some friends. Instead of printing out our updated charactor sheets we have one friend (with a mac and adobe pro) save them as a pdf and email them to us.  I have the free adobe reader and when i try to save those sheets to file as a pdf, i can't and it bugs me.  I am using Window 7 OS. Is the save as pdf only a feature of the pro version?

How are you opening the PDF's?
If you are opening them in Reader (and they aren't opening in a browser) you should have File>Save As PDF.
If you are doing something else, tell us exactly what steps you are taking, what version on Reader and what exactly happens.

  • Aio remote only allows save to pdf when trying to print picture

    brand new HPm MFP M127 fw.  have web services enabled and all the other stuff noted in the printer installation.  Installed aio remote on galaxy s3 with droid 4.4.2.  went ahead and installed HP print services from GP as well. 
    Browse to a photo in the gallery, select print and the print setting dialog appears, but no option to print.  only save to PDF.  When I try to go ahead and let it save, to see if it will let me print after, it fails.  What am I missing here?

    Hi,
    The HP Laserjet Pro M127 is not supported by the HP All-In-One Remote app, therefore it won't allow printing to the printer, as you may find listed within the HP Consumer LaserJet printers section:

    You may print using the HP ePrint app or Print Solution for Android as listed below:

  • Using javascript to save a pdf to a different directory and generating a new filename based on form fields in the document.

    I have built the following script in an attempt to create a submit button that will automatically save the document in a different directory on my computer. It will also use the form field data "customer" and "date" to generate the filename. I printed out the variable myPath and it looks like it printed the correct string. I keep getting the following error:
    TypeError: redeclaration of const path
    any help would be much appreciated.
    var customer = this.getField("Customer").value;
    var date = this.getField("Date").value;
    var path = "C:/Users/awilliams/My Documents/Test/"
      var reg = date.match(/(\d+)\/(\d+)\/(\d+)/);
    var myPath= "C:/Users/awilliams/My Documents/Test/" + customer + "_" + reg[1] + "." + reg[2] + "." +
    reg[3] + ".pdf";
    this.saveAs(myPath);

    "path" is a keyword within a PDF you should not use keywords as a name for any other object as a general rule.
    Have you checked the PDF Reference to see how to create a file path name within a PDF,  3.10.1 File Specification Strings page 118?
    Did you carefully read the Acrobat JavaScript Reference for the saveAs method?
    The notes following the description:
    Note: This method can only be executed during a batch or console event. See Privileged versus non-privileged context for details. The event object contains a discussion of JavaScript events.
    (Adobe Reader S): This method is available in Adobe Reader for documents that have Save usage rights.

  • TURBOTAX 2014 CD DOES NOT PERMIT OFFLINE PRINT OR SAVE TO PDF.  YOU CAN ONLY SAVE TO PDF OR PRINT IF ONLINE.  BIG SECURITY ISSUE.  INTUIT IN WSJ ARTICLE BLAMES APPLE, SAYING APP STORE SOFTWARE RESULTED IN THIS.  TRUE?

    Starting this year, Turbotax CD/download versions will not permit people to print tax forms when offline. If you try to print while not connected to the Internet, you receive the warning “There was a problem connecting to Intuit’s Secure Print Service.  Please check your Internet connection or try again later.”  Indeed, Paragraph 9 of the Intuit Software End User License Agreement states:  "You may save your return as a PDF file and understand it may be processed on Intuit servers, not as part of the Software."
    Even if you wish to protect your data by not exposing it to the Internet, Turbotax will not let you without sharing your entire return first with them.  They prohibit you from only printing locally on home, cable-connected printers.
    The result of this is that people who tried to be safe by never going online with tax data, are this year being forced by Intuit software to expose all their sensitive tax information files to the Internet and Intuit print server, even though they do not wish to. Turbotax is putting you at risk.
    On Feb 19 the Wall Street Journal quoted an Intuit spokesperson blaming Apple:  According to Julie Miller, an Intuit spokeswoman, TurboTax made the change “because the Mac product requires a special, third-party code library to support offline printing.” And she says, “based on Apple App Store guidelines, we could no longer distribute the third-party library with our software.”   She said the change in the TurboTax Mac software was first made for 2013 tax returns, but last year customers had the option of printing returns without being connected to the Internet.
    So is Apple to blame that I now have to expose my sensitive tax data to Intuit just to be allowed to save to PDF on my hard disk?  And it's all Apple's fault?
    Can anyone clarify this?

    Thank you for this an the other posts.  Particularly for Barney,
    I have just discovered that Turbotax actually permits you to print (and save to PDF) documents from the Help
    Center built into the program, even when you are OFFLINE.  Works just like normal printing is supposed to.  It just won't let you print actual tax forms. So I guess they were willing to violate Apple’s rules when you print information from their help center offline, but you just can't do the same with your own tax forms.  Clearly this shows that what Intuit told Forbes was a fabrication.
    They do in fact have the proper code in the program for printing and saving to PDF.  They just deny you usage of that code for printing your tax returns, which they want to copy.  I don’t think there can be any doubt about what they are doing.  Surely they are not deceiving apple by allowing the limited print function?
    We can only hope that a brave journalist will challenge them on this, since Intuit will not respond to customers.
    Thank you for any views on this points.

  • Help!!! I can't save multiple PDF documents into one single PDF!  Need answers!

    Hello!
    I'm trying to save a very large PDF file.  I'm using Adobe Acrobat X Pro.  There are about 200 plus pages and I'm trying to save merged PDF files as one single PDF document.  I've compressed the PDF's as much as I could prior to saving.  For some reason, the process of saving it as a single file takes a long time and usually doesn't work.  Will a higher version of Adobe be faster?  I was told that Adobe X is a 32 bit program and that could be why it's running slow.  I'm unfamiliar with how it all works so I'm hoping someone could offer a simple explanation as to why this is happening and a solution on how to make something as simple as saving a document, go faster.
    Thank you!
    c

    Best to keep the replies in the other post, but I wanted to comment on something you said "I was told that Adobe X is a 32 bit program and that could be why it's running slow." Yes, it's a 32 bit program. No, it's complete nonsense to say that 32 bit programs run slow. There seems to be a general belief that 64 bit is better because, well, because, um, because it's a bigger number so it must be, right? Sorry, I'm not mocking you, but there is such nonsense about this, that I think software makers are having to put a lot of effort into making 64 bit software for no good reason at all.

  • When i save as pdf I only get half of a page

    I am trying to save as a PDF and when i open the saved file only half of the data is viewable. I cant figure out how to View/print/email a compleate document.

    What program are you trying to save as PDF *from*? Adobe Reader only shows PDFs on screen, it doesn't make them.

  • Trying to save as PDF/A-1a: "Structure tree root entry missing" and "MarkInfo missing"

    I would like to convert born-digital documents originally created in Word 2007 to the PDF/A-1a standard.
    From Word, I am only able to Print to PDF/A-1b. I did that, opened the resulting PDF in Adobe Acrobat 9.3 Professional, and tried running the Preflight to save the PDF as a PDF/A-1a. I received the following two errors:
    "Structure tree root entry missing"
    "MarkInfo missing"
    I'd like to know if there's a way I can remedy this situation, either from the Word doc or the PDF doc. Thank you.

    I imagine that the original poster would like for a solution that simple to work.  I also imagine that s/he gets the same error message I do every time I try to create a PDF from a Word document in the suggested way:
    "Acrobat could not open '[file name].doc' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
    To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF or use the Acrobat toolbar found in Microsoft Office applications."
    Is there any way to convert the PDF you get from printing to PDF to PDF/A-1a successfully?

  • Can I save as pdf when printing from a Java applet on a webpage in Safari?

    I am trying to use a webpage that is running a Java applet. A dialog comes up that asks me, "Do you want to run this application?" The dialog also says, "This application will run with limited access that is intended to protect your computer and personal information." I select "Run". The applet generates an image I want to print.  There is a "Print" button on the applet.  I select "Print". A Security Warning dialog comes up that says, "The applet has requested access to the printer. Do you want to allow this action?" I select "OK".  The Print dialog comes up.  I choose the PDF button in the lower left corner. I choose "Save as PDF...". A second Print dialog comes up.  I input a title in the Save As box.  I choose Desktop in the Where box.  I do not change anything else and select the "Save" button. A dialog appears that says, "Print Error while printing." There is an icon with paper, a pencil, a ruler and a paintbrush on the dialog. 
    Is this an issue with Apple and Java security?  Does "run with limited access" mean I can't print and save as PDF? Should I upgrade to Mavericks?  It seems like others have not been happy with Mavericks and have had problems saving as PDF with Mavericks. How do I let Apple know about this error?  The error dialog is useless. 
    I am on a Mac running OS X 10.8.5 and Safari 6.1.2.  My Java version is 7 update 51.
    What other information can I provide to help solve the problem (if it can be solved)?
    Thank you for your help!

  • I publish a 41mb newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separa

    I publish a 41mb InDesign newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separately, have gotten the file size down to 16mb and it drops to 7mb, 45% of original.
    I have gone back and saved Feb and March and it saves to 10% of original, as it did before, and I use the same mechanism to save now.
    I have gone to Acrobat Pro and optimized down to 8.8mb, but the quality is not acceptable.
    What other variable is there that I haven't discovered?

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • Any Way to Save a pdf User Manual?

    I seem to recall that in previous versions of FCS apps, including Motion, you had the Help option to open (usually in Preview) a pdf User Manual. From there, via the Print dialog, you could do a "Save as PDF", into the folder of your choice.
    I often like to have a searchable User Manual which I can access without having to launch the app itself. So I created a special folder into which I would save separate pdf copies of user manuals which had been incorporated into the apps themselves. But in Motion 4, all I'm seeing is an HTML Help Document, and trying to "Save as PDF" via the Print window only seems to let me save the one currently visible page, nothing more.
    So -- is there still any way to create a separate, searchable User Manual for Motion (and for the other FCS3 apps), or have even pdf help documents gone the way of those two-ton paper manuals of yesteryear?
    Thanks,
    John Bertram

    Yeah, the PDF functionality is lost within the FCS3 apps themselves. The Pro Apps team wanted to be able to continually update the Help files, so they were made (exclusively) web-based.
    That resulted in a bit of an outcry. Thankfully, the team listened, we have to now visit the Help pages for each app (here's the one for Motion) and open/download from the View as PDF link.

  • SYSTEM CRASH with 'Save As PDF' in Safari

    Since installing 10.6.4 my MacBook crashes whenever I attempt to "Save as PDF" in Safari. I am unable to force quit Safari or use any other application as the spinning beachball of death works its magic. I removed Safari 5 and replaced it with Safari 4.05 (using Time Machine) but this has no effect. All I can do is a hard reset to get my MacBook back from the abyss. I've just tried 'Save As PDF' from a Pages document and this worked fine.
    Any ideas?

    First thing I would do if I were you is find your Snow Leopard installer DVD, boot from it, and when you get to the point where there is a menubar across the top of your screen, go into Utilities and run Disk Utility's Repair Volume option. If errors, run it over and over until no more "file system was modified" messages are reported. Then run the Repair Permissions option. That one reports errors that never go away so don't worry so much about them. Then reboot, and google "10.6.4 combo update." Download the combo update and reapply it.
    No Sno installer DVD? Then boot while holding down the ⌘s keys. When you get to a user prompt, type fsck -fy and run it over and over until you get no more "file system was modified" messages. Then type exit so the computer reboots. You can continue with the repair permissions and combo update bit after the computer has rebooted into GUI mode.

  • Problem with save as PDF with FrameMaker 12

    Hey,
    I just received FrameMaker 12 and I like it.
    But I'm having problems when I use the save as PDF function.
    It takes very long time to generate the PDF (at least 30 minutes for a book)
    The fonts and spaces are messed up in the finished PDF. Some text blocks have paragraphs running over the margin
    I have tried a couple of different things:
    saving as MIF and back to FM
    uncheck rely on system fonts only, do not use document fonts
    but nothing have worked yet, please help I'm getting frustrated.

    Hi Jeff,
    After I realized that I didn't make the setprint.ini file, I did that and deleted the printer=adobe pdf in the .dll file. But it still doesn't work. I save to pdf anyway, I was just trying to optimize my usage by making the default printer in FM the adobe pdf printer.
    Anyway, the .dll file from above has the below information in it. I don't know what it means, but it has errors all over. Does this make a difference and what does it mean?....Thanks!

  • Firefox 6.0.2 crashes when I attempt to save a pdf

    When I have a pdf in my firefox browser and I click to save it, as soon as I click on the "UP" folder on the screen to navigate to the folder I wish to save the pdf in, an hourglass appears and firefox stops responding. I can't close firefox or open another browser. I have left the computer in this condition in excess of 20 minutes and nothing changes. If I go into Task Manager "Dumprep" is using nearly all the resources. I have gone into msconfig and disabled Reporting to see if this resolves the issue. I am not in a position to reboot my computer at the moment due to certain programs that are running and can't be interrupted. I will report back when I get the chance. I can use IE8 to download pdf's and there is no issue, so I know it is firefox causing the crash.

    It would appear that this problem was caused by my disabling Java as we have been recommended to do for security reasons. I updated to the latest version of Java, and re-enabled it, and the plugin checker now works fine.
    Could someone please confirm that this would cause the problem I have been seeing?
    Thanks.

  • Save as PDF in Excel rewrites file when saving multiple sheets

    Hello,
    I'm having issues saving Excel files to PDF when multiple sheets of a workbook are active. I constantly need to print multiple sheets of a workbook for a service report, but when multiple tabs are highlighted to print/save it will save each sheet as the output file but immediately overwrite the saved file with the next sheet. So if I have four sheets active and go to print/pdf/save to pdf I will briefly see a "processing page" message box for each sheet but in the end I will only have one pdf file of the last active sheet. A single sheet will save beautifully but it's kind of a pain to constantly string together the pdf files. I looked through the Excel forum, but it seems they point anything pdf related back to OS X. I'm running XL 12.1.5 and OS X 10.5.6. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I've been having the same problem... after not finding a solution on this page, I finally found an answer that worked for me. As the Adobe support link below states... change the "Print Quality" to be the same for all sheets, then use the Print dialog box rather than the Save As dialog box. In the Print dialog box, choose the "save as PDF" option" (on the lower left for me). This finally solved my multiple file problem.

  • Excel save as pdf hangs when launched through a watch folder

    Hi there,
    I've configured a watch folder to launch a batch file which launch a .exe file I've written in C++
    In this application I launch Excel which open a .XLS document which contains macros.
    At the end of the computations there is a macro which save as pdf.
    At this point everything hangs and I have to cancel the job I've created for the watch folder.
    If I disable the watch folder and I place the starting file inside the watch folder
    and I manually launch the .bat file (which usually is launched by the watch folder) everything works perfectly.
    I really really hope there will be someone here coming with a solution for me.
    By the way on the windows forum I've got a very disappointing answer where they stated it was probably a fault of my application.
    Well fortunately that was not the problem because
    I can reproduce the problem even removing my application from the equation so now we have cleared
    the issue is not casued by my application.
    So if you want to try it yourself just follow the steps below:
    1) create an excel document so that after you open it it automatically run a save as pdf operation and close excel. (let's call this document "PRINT_TEST.xls")
    2) create a batch file named "Excel_launcher.bat" and write the command
    ""C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15\EXCEL.EXE" "C:\teststampapdf\PRINT_TEST.xls""
    3) Now create a watch folder job that execute that batch file.
    something like "C:\watchfolderX\Excel_launcher.bat"
    4) now create a watch folder that uses that job and for file filter use "*.txt" enable it and start it
    5) now launch manually the batch file and you'll see that it print the pdf and closes itself
    6) drop a txt file inside the watch folder you've created and you'll see it hangs at the save as pdf operation.
    This is something that have to be fixed and it's due to excel.
    I can launch and save documents with all the application I want but excel so that's the problem.
    Please take a look and keep me updated I badly need to find a solution for this issue.
    THANK YOU in advance,
    Davide

    Hi Davide,
    This is no the right forum for your issue. I think you can consult this issue on some Excel end-user related forum.
