Save as PDF file... doesn't save

When I print as a PDF file a document (webpage, word ecc.) the process does'not work.
It starts creating the file (I can see the file name created on the destination folder) but at the end of the process the file is cancelled by the system and I cannot find the file anywhere.
Everything happened after I upgraded the OSX to 10.4.4. Before it was working fine.
Do I need a fake printer to print PDF (like PDF driver in windows).
Any suggestions
Many thanks

Make sure you have sufficient permissions to write to the chosen destination directory (i.e., use some place inside your home folder). Try repairing permissions as well.
Printing to PDF should just work, you don't need a separate driver.
Which physical printers do you have installed?

Failed to save the PDF file into the open location as default

Hi all,
Please help me!
In Acrobat XI professional, while save the PDF file using the SAVEAS option it shows the previous file saved location path.
But i need the current opened location path while save the PDF file.
Please help me to solve the issue.
Regards,
JayaKrishnan

What an awesome idea, Bernd...
I've just encountered the same situation and it's irritating the hell outta me. Adobe's always gotta screw something up to irritate us. As if having the rent their software isn't irritation enough.
The problem is when you open a file and then Save As it has always, and in every program known to man (at least that I've used), offered to Save As in the same folder where the file was opened from. Now it wants to save it in the last "saved to" directory.
While this could be convenient on occasion it's a PitA most of the time.
Any actual solution to this misbehaving Save dialog?

Strange that I can save a pdf file created in windows 8.1 to my cloud storage

Strange that I can save a pdf file created in windows 8.1 to my cloud storage, but then I don't see it when I open my account. What is strange is that when I try again to save the file, system ask me to change the file name or over write current file. But file not present in my drive. Any help would be much appreciated

Hi jeffjn,
Please log out of your account, clear the cache, and then log back in. If that doesn't work, please log in using a different web browser. (See System requirements | Acrobat.com for a list of supported web browsers.)
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

How can I save a PDF file sent to me in an attachment to my iPhone 5s

How can I save a PDF file or word file sent to me as an attachment directly to my iPhone 5s so if I want to read it I don't have to dig into my ail every time?

You will need to select the attachment and open in another app. If you do not have any apps that support PDF, Adobe reader for iOS is free.
For MS word files, you will need an app that supports those, like Documents to Go.
There is not generic file storage area in iOS, so you need to "open in" an app that supports that file type so that app can then add the file to its sandboxed local storage area.
If you need to markup the PDF, some good apps are GoodReader, iAnnotate, PDF Expert, GoodNotes - there are numerous others as well in the App Store.

How do I save a pdf file to my hard drive ?

How do I save a pdf file to my hard drive ? My CC statements are sent as a pdf file and I would like to save them.

The same way you save ANY email attachment... which is going to depend on the email program you use... so check with support for your email program (or the help file to learn how to save an attachment)
When you OPEN a PDF attachment, what program are you using... Acrobat or Reader... both have options to save files

Save as is back again - available - in Mavericks by hitting the Option key while in the app's File menu (duplicate will change to save as).

Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error, so you can load Firefox again.

Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error. I have Windows XP (Media Center Edition) and all updates (Firefox, Adobe PDF, Microsoft, virus protection, etc) are installed. This has only been a problem since Firefox 4, and isn't a problem in Internet Explorer.

Hi David,
Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

Get msg disk is full when trying to save a PDF file

Running windows 7 and latest version of Adobe Reader. I get the following message when I try to save a PDF file to disk.
The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files is full. Free some space on this disk & try again or save to a different disk. The disk I am trying to save the file to has over 200gb of free sapce!!

I found a workaround online, here's the a linkhttp://www.thedailydecibel.com/2011/10/adobe-reader-disk-full-error-message.html
I was having the same issue with Adobe Reader 11.0.2 plugin for Internet Explorer. So the directions in the above link are slightly different for Reader 11.
Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced)
Uncheck the box for "Enable Protected Mode at startup".
I have no idea if there are any negative consequences with turning this option off.

PS Elements 8 - "Save As" PDF File Sizes Huge

In Photoshop Elements 8.0, Photoshop PDF file sizes are huge when using the "save as" function, using JPEG compression.
No matter which "Image Quality" is used, the resultant PDF is huge. At "high" quality the file is 20 MB. At "medium" quality, the file is 15 MB. At "low" quality, the file is also 15 MB, much too large. This was not a problem in older versions of Elements. File sizes were typically just more than 3 MB.
If I save the image as JPEG files using "maximum" (10) quality, "medium" (5) quality, and "low" (3) quality, I can insert the image(s) into Word and use the Acrobat Pro PDF printer driver to get PDF file sizes of 1.8 MB, 1.3 MB, and 1.1 MB. These PDF files are perfect. Even the lowest quality is perfectly readable for my purposes. The older versions of Elements worked fine so I didn't need to take the step of saving in JPEG format, importing to Word and then printing.
Does anyone know if Photoshop Elements Version 8 is capable of saving PDF files in the smaller file sizes? Is there a plug-in I can purchase that would give better results?
Photoshop Elements Version 8.0 (20090905.r.605812) with all updates applied.
OS = Windows 7 Enterprise (6.1, Build 7600).
Thank you for any help or adevice.

I'm dealing with the same situation.
With Photoshop Elements I use to scan a picture at 300 dpi, save as PDF file, jpg compression medium low
quality and alway got files under 5 Mb, even lower than that. Colour or black and white pictures.
Now with Photoshop Elements 8.0 did the usual procedure but the pdf are huge, larger than 8 Mb, even more
than 10 Mb !
Am I missing any detail in settings program, perhaps ?
Thanks for any suggestions.

PDF file won't save

Hi guys,
I got the Adobe Acrobat X program and whenever I try to save a PDF file and replace the existing file it would tell me "the file may be read only or another user may have it open".
I've been using adobe for 2 years and it has never showed this error message.
I uninsalled and reinstalled it- Didn't work.
I checked if it's on read only mode- and it's not..
It all of a sudded popped up this year..
And... I don't know what to do anymore!!!
Would love to get some help.

Windows Explorer has Preview turned on in most cases. You can either close Windows Explorer or turn off the preview feature. Apparently windows is setting a flag with the preview that says the file is open and that is what Acrobat sees (or maybe it is something about Acrobat, don't know). In any case, the preview function usually causes this problem. You should still be able to save it to a new name, but that means an extra step.
Oh I didn't know what you meant by saying Windows Explorer at first, until I googled it and realized it's this window. Shame on me.
So yeah I started using the preview feature, it's really comfortable to use, and when I closed the feature it worked! No problems! ThanksBill@VT!
But is there any setting that I can change so I can leave the preview feature on and not having trouble with the saving thingy?

Hi,
In the documentation for the saveAs function it has the following params
cPath The device-independent path in which to save the file.
cConvID (optional, Acrobat 6.0) A conversion ID string that specifies the conversion
file type.
cFS (optional, Acrobat 7.0) A string that specifies the source file system name.
bCopy (optional, Acrobat 7.0) A Boolean value which, if true, saves the PDF file
as a copy. The default is false.
bPromptToOverwrite (optional, Acrobat 7.0) A Boolean value which, if true, prompts the user if
the destination file already exists. The default is false.
In order to get a text file saved you need to specify the correct cConvID.
See the documentation for the valid convID's - http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/10/Acrobat10_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.519.html
Please note the Acrobat SDK contains all the information and does not require much installing ( as it is a zip file(on windows) and a disc image (on Mac) it just needs extracted)

How do I save a pdf file in version 1.3?

I'm currently using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 PRO.. and I need to save a PDF file in version 1.3. How do I do it?

Use either Reduce file size (under the Document menu now in AA8) or the PDF Optimizer under the Advanced menu.

Save a pdf file without Adobe automatically adding "-Copy" to the end

How can I save a pdf file without Adobe automatically adding "-Copy" to the end of file name?

If you have actually made any changes (e.g. adding a Sticky Note or filling out forms), the Save button will appear in the bottom toolbar. It will save it as the same name.
"- Copy" is added only when you tap/click the Save As button. You can change it to something else, if you'd like.

When I save a pdf file and try to open it I get an error message

When I save a pdf file and try to open it I get an error message, "Adobe Reader could not open 'file name.pdf' 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)."
When I try to open it with Preview I get this message, "file name.pdf” could not be opened because it is empty."
I am running Maverick OS X 10.9.1. What's up with this?

Good question (I'm not a Mac guy these days).
But Adobe Reader is only viewing the file as it has been saved. If it happens to all pdf files from all sources, I would begin to investigate your OS (and possible permissions but I'm not sure) maybe in the Apple forums.
