Save As in Preview?

The Save As command under File in Preview has disappeared since I upgraded to Mavericks, so I can't save a downloaded PDF to the folder I want to. Is there a way to restore the missing command or some other work around? Thanks.

A lot of people agree with you. That's why they put it back two and a half years ago. If you hold Option down while viewing the File menu, Duplicate changes to Save As…
I know several people that switched to Windows because of the removal of "Save As".
Anyone know of a method that would electronically hold the option key down?

  • How differs soft proofing in View - Proof Colors and Save for Web - Preview?

    Hi, I'm currently confused with one inconsistency. My working space is Adobe RGB and I use calibrated monitor. After I finish my work on image I go to View -> Proof Colors -> Internet Standard RGB. Image looks terribly with the overall violet/purple hue. Then I open Save for Web dialogue, I check Convert to RGB and from Preview options I select again Internet Standard RGB. Now the previewed image looks as expected. The same results I get if I manually convert image to sRGB before soft proofing and saving for web. So... what's the difference between preview in Proof Colours and in Save for Web? Thank you for your opinions.

    Hi 21, thank you for your input. All what you say makes perfect sense, it is exactly how it should work and how I expected it works. My problem was, that while testing this theory in practice, I have come to different results. I expected, that if I stick to the theory (meaning keeping in mind all rules you perfectly described) I should get the same result in both soft proof and save for web preview. But... it was not the case. Save for web preview offered expected results while soft proof was completely out of any assumptions and colours were totally over-saturated with violet/purple hue. Also, Edit -> Assign Profile -> sRGB gave another result then Soft Proof -> Custom -> assign sRGB (preserve numbers), but the same as save for web preview.  What troubled me was why this is so.
    Today I've made tests on hardware calibrated monitor and... everything works exactly as you describe and as I expected.
    Then I went back to another monitor which is software calibrated (both monitors are calibrated with X-Rite i1 Display Pro). And again... I received strange results described above. So I did the last thing I thought and disabled colour calibration on that monitor. And suddenly... both soft proof and save for web preview gave the same result.
    Probable conclusion: soft proof and save for web preview (together with Edit -> Assign Profile) are programmed to use different algorithm which is evident on standard gamut monitors with software calibration. Question can be closed.
    Gene and 21, thank you for your effort.

  • Where is " SAVE ALL " in Preview?

    In M. Lion, " Save All " in Preview disappeared, so how to use this function after editing a pack of photo???

    This has not been my experience.
    When, in this test case, I select and change the size of 4 image files, and the do as you say, clicking on "Save" in the drop down menu under "File" while all are still selected, I do see the file sizes change in the folder they're in.
    However, when I close the window (above), then the laborious saving of each, individual file still pops up, and one by one each must still be saved.
    It was so much easier just to "Save All" before. This seems to fall under the proverbial, 'fixing what ain't broke.'
    Either I'm not explaining myself clearly, or I'm not clear on some simple step/s here ... or Preview has, indeed been made harder to use.

  • Please give us back "Save as" in Preview

    I typically save high-quality PNG images from my 3D software, but send clients JPG images as proofs, during a working process.
    The lack of "Save as" in Preview means extra steps for me now. I have to first create a "duplicate", then save it. "Versions" is a wonderful idea, but please let us have "Save as" too, so I can keep my faster workflow.
    (I've submitted this directly to Apple, but in case staff members read these posts, thought I'd add it here too.)
    Thank you.

    Sorry LionDeveloper but I'm not buying that explanation. What more do I need to know about "how files work"?
    I've followed 4 or 5 "how to" suggestions including Duplicate but none will allow me to actually save my resized image. I can get to the Save dialogue box but when I try to save the resized image it tells me I don't have permission to save it.
    I am so incredibly frustrated with this I'm seriously considering reverting back to Snow Leopard!
    For now I'm having to do all this work on my PC because I can't do it on my Mac anymore (since upgrading to Lion)!
    Signed,
    One (now) frustrated Mac user
    EDIT: OK, I've found that "Export" will allow me to reduce then save like I want to do but I still want the old "Save As" functionality back. Thanks

  • How do I change the default save location for Preview under Lion?

    I have to modify about 200 PDFs.
    When I make a duplicate of a PDF in Preview it always suggests saving it on the desktop. Instead I would like it to ask me if I want to save it either where the original file is, or where I saved something last.
    Note that Default Folder X doesn't yet work with Preview. And even then it wouldn't solve my problem.

    What I meant is turn off Documents and Data in iCloud in OS X. Keep it on on your iOS devices. iCloud will sync documents between the iOS devices and make them available on the iCloud web site, but it won't mess up iWorks' open and save dialog boxes. It also won't assume that you want all your documents in iCloud, which I think is undesirable anyway.
    Keep iOS and OS X separate, and use the web site to move files between the two as necessary.
    iOS iWork is different from OS X iWork. There are fewer fonts on an iOS device. iOS iWork programs have slightly different feature sets than OS X iWork programs, and the file formats are different. iCloud automatically converts the file format when necessary, but if you make a habit of saving things directly to iCloud, you are limited to the lowest common denominator between the two versions of iWorks. So why would anyone want iWork on the Mac to open and save documents on iCloud by default?
    If you want to store files in the cloud and sync them on your Macs, SugarSync is a much better solution. It lets you choose your sync folders, it doesn't make you reorganize your files, it lets you sync all file types, it doesn't convert files to a different format and back, and it stores everything in the cloud, too. Just the simle act of saving a file backs it up and syncs it. I wouldn't live without it. iCloud is best with iTunes purchases and synchronizing Mac settings and iOS files; I woudln't live without it. The two make an unbeatable combination.

  • Save for web preview not working in Photoshop CS4

    Hello all.
    I'm having a problem with Save for Web in Photoshop 11.0.2. Basically, whenever I move to save an image using "Save for Web & Devices," the preview window is stuck in GIF mode. I can move the Preset settings to any of the choices, and also change to any of the 5 image types underneath, but only a GIF setting at 100% dither/Selective palette/256 colors preview will show in the preview window.
    I have trashed both the Adobe Save for Web 11.0 Prefs and the com.adobe.Photoshop.plist files, and have repaired permissions, but this doesn't resolve the problem.
    Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
    --jody radzik.

    I fixed the problem by erasing "Save for Web" from within Photoshop rather than outside in the file tree.

  • How can I change Save defaults in Preview?

    In Preview, I am copying pieces of pictures and making new documents out of them.  I then have to save them but every time I do, Preview want me to save to iCloud in PNG format.  I am doing hundreds of Saves and want the Save box to open into the same folder on my computer every time and in jpeg format.  Can I make preview do that?

    set the popUP menu at the top to "Show All"

  • Save Data on Preview

    Dear all,
    Does anybody knows if is possible to save data entered by user on Interactive Form (In preview - ABAP Program) ? I know we can "Save as" another file. If was a Web Dynpro application I think it will be possible because the PDF Data will be on context, but I've a doubt about pure ABAP program.
    Best regards

    Hi Otto,
    The form is Interactive, I can change the TextFields without problem, but the only option on Preview is "Save as" file, not Save. I would like to save the information that i've inputed without save to another file on user computer.
    Best regards

  • I would like the ability to save a thumbnail preview for use by the OS on image export.

    Hello,
    I have been using Lightroom for about three years and one of the many features I would like to see is the ability to save a thumbnail for the image while exporting an  image.  This is an option available in other leading software, and also happens when you save an image in Photoshop.  It isn't a huge issue when using a Mac because you have the option for the finder to force an image preview.  It is however an issue when your client uses Windows since the OS doesn't allow the user to force a thumbnail preview.
    The client is king, especially with the economy and market the way that it is.  If the client wants thumbnails on their images in their OS, the photographer needs to be able to deliver.  I don't expect myself or any other photographer to have to open files in Photoshop and save them to force a thumbnail for the image.
    This software is in no way as expensive as Photoshop and it does have amazing features, but it is also not cheap and is intended for working professionals.

    Your original links were ok, two JPGs and one PNG.  BTW,the resizing wasn't necessary because the warning about it is only for viewing the photo in the message.  You can always click on the photo and see the full-sized version, as long as it doesn't exceed the filesize limit, of course.
    On my Windows 7, both JPGs show a Windows Picture Viewer program icon when set to the default settings, and both JPGs show a thumbnail icon when the icon-size is increased.  This is a function of Windows, not the contents of the files, as far as I can tell.
    No thumbnail Icons using the default view:
    Thumbnail icons when switching to the next larger sized icons:
    On the Mac the two images act differently, but you're asking for Mac-specific things to occur, and Adobe may choose to not do it based on it not being different on Windows.
    For what Windows scenario does the PS-saved JPG show a thumbnail-icon instead of a program-icon when the LR-saved one shows only the program icon.  I'm not asking about the Mac where your screenshot shows the difference, I'm asking about Windows.  Is it only when you e-mail pictures or is it on the customer's hard-drive, somehow, and what is the customer using the view the images?

  • How can save/convert a preview file into a Microsoft Word/.doc file?

    Basically, I've open some email attachments and they've opened in 'preview'
    I have tried to save them as a .doc file so that I can open them in Microsoft Word, but have been unable to do this.
    I have tried 'save as...' but it doesn't come up with a .doc option
    I have also tried the 'Open with' in the get info pop up, and have changed it to microsoft word but when I then try to open it, it comes up with a 'Convert File' box.
    I have tried some of the options available but none of them work
    Am I missing something? or am I going down the wrong route?
    Is it even possible to do?
    I'm not great at computers and so answers with obvious steps would be great!
    Thanks!

    Are these PDF files that you're attempting to save a .doc (or .docx) files. Preview won't do it. You can use a number of third-party application to accomplish what you want, but none of them are that inexpensive.
    The least expensive application may be PDFpen - you can save Word documents from PDF files with it, amongst other things.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • A question about Auto Save, Versions and Preview.

    I haven't upgraded to Lion (yet?). I'm trying to understand what impact Lion will have on my workflow.
    Do I understand right that it is not possible to turn off Lion's Auto Save?
    And that the autosavings are stored in a hidden sqlLite data base?
    I use Preview for... err... previewing files (PDFs and image files). Nothing I open (preview) in Preview I save.
    Is Lion's Auto Save going to save every file I take a look at in Preview?

    I think is more a pro than a con to upgrade ..
    The idea of Versions looks good to me, it certainly is not a 'con to upgrade'. The amount of disk space it uses and where (on which disk) is a bit of a concern to me. But by the time the applications I work with implement this feature that probably will be sorted out.
    there's more to upgrading though.
    Not so much on topic:
    I do want to upgrade. Eventually. Although I do worry about the direction Apple are heading in, I don't want to get stuck in the past.
    I'm disappointed AirDrop is not for my computers. And the treatment Spaces and Exposé got really withholds me of upgrading any time soon. Maybe a third party developer dives into this matter. Working with an external display connected to notebooks has changed in Lion and is not particularly handy for everyone. (While using the external display only, opening the lid of the notebook in Lion turns on the display of the notebook. This was not the case before Lion.)

  • Grayed Save and Save as in Preview

    Hi,
    I have noticed that some downloaded PDF documents are unable to save or save as. There seems little predictability as to which documents this occurs with. Is this a function of the document or a setting i have yet to discover in Preview and can it be undone?
    Thanks

    I am having the exact same problem under 10.4.11 - there are sites where a certain downloaded PDF has the "save" and "save as" options greyed-out. This isn't the case with all PDF files - only, in my case, files from a particular site.
    In my case, I noticed on the very same file on another machine running 10.3.9 that the "save as" option is in fact available. Same thing on my work WinXP PC with Acrobat Reader. So it looks like it's the combination of the file plus the machine which is causing this to happen.
    This isn't 100% critical as the files in question are in fact already saved on the disk, as when they're initially clicked they get downloaded before they are opened with Preview. However this is a curious phenomenon.
    Anyone have any ideas?
