Save as PDF file path dialog

Again, another odd operation that Adobe has added to Acrobat Professional DC for Mac. When I Save, or Save As in Acrobat DC, the next window is an Adobe Save As PDF window with several, helpful options. There is a list of five or so Recently Visited folder, options in the sidebar to send this to a Cloud and a giant button "Choose a Different Folder". This button is so large, I actually, have trouble locating it.
Usually, I'm working in a current document and the folder I wish to save that document to, percolates to the top of the Recent Folders. That's handy. However, when you click that selection, actually any selection, even Choose a Different Folder, the OS X Finder window always opens up to the same folder. The folder is named, simply "T" for temporary. If you save anything there, and close Acrobat, you have lost your work my friend. I have figured that out, now. But my question is, why ask where my destination folder of choice, if you never locate it anyway? That window is a waste of space.
This is obviously a bug between the new DC version and the Mac Finder system. The action in the Save As PDF window need to have the file paths updated.

Hi
I accessed to a website from my uni library computer using my student account and download a pdf file in there. However, that pdf file contains a line of words saying "Accessed by ... University Library on 30 Mar 2007". This line is printed vertically and on the left side of the page.
Do you know how to remove that line? I think the website just embedded that line into the file.
Please help.
Thank you very much.

How to remove "save pdf file as" dialog in startdoc with adobe acrobat 6

We set up pdfWriter as default printer and hope to generate pdf file with startdoc call. The existing code worked great on Adobe Acrobat 5. However, after we upgraded to Adobe Acrobat 6(complete install), the same code behaved differently. Somehow, startdoc always popped out a "save pdf file as" dialog box and ask for the file path but ignored the input path parameter(the pdf file was generated at the path that user manully input in).
W do not like this dialog box at all and expect silent action. How to remove this annoying dialog box and make the old code working (taking the parameter as pdf file path)?
Thanks for your help.

Avoiding the 'Save PDF File As' dialog when printing to the adobe PDF printer from a service

Hello, can someone please help.
I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro installed.
I have an in house application which (among many other things) effectively monitors a directory and prints the file to the default printer. It works fine when run as an application.
I have set the defaults on the Adobe PDF printer to put the output PDF file into a directory and not to open it so it works silently without prompts.
When I run my application as a service, it brings up the 'Save PDF File As' dialog and I would like to avoid this. My impression is that if I put the right registry key in then it will work.
I do not want to do any scripting if I can avoid it.
Thanks for all constructive help given.

Thank for your help Bill, but changing settings in the distiller did not seem to work. As my application prints directly to the default application without using anything specific to Acrobat, I was hoping there was a simple way forward. A colleague suggested copying registry entries from the account I logged on as to the S-1-5-18 entry, then rebooting. This had no effect as the prompt still comes up.
Aandi, I don't have the Acrobat SDK or any experience of it.
Also I'm not sure where any code/script would sit since the application is stable and so I would rather not change it.
If it amounts to a few lines of javascript sitting outside the application then that would be of interest.

Save PDF File As dialog box not appearing

I am running Acrobat 8 Pro on Windows Server 2008. I'm having a problem with the Adobe PDF printer. When I attempt to print a document to this printer, the "Save PDF File As" dialog box does not appear. The dialog box does open, but it is either hidden behind the running application or is minimized. I have to click the icon on the taskbar to bring the window to focus. This problem only occurs the first time I attempt to print after logging onto the computer. On subsequent print jobs the dialog box shows up fine.

Is there a registry setting or anything that I can set to get rid of the 'Save Scanned File As' box.
No.

Preflight keeps saying "Unable to save the PDF File after post processing"

I'm at a loss how to overcome this. Spent almost a whole day, together with another person, trying to fix it with no success!
I use Adobe pro CC on a PC
I usually receive pdf files from this one client who edits and formats a book in Mac Pages. Up until a few days ago I had no problems converting the client's pdfs into pdf/x3, but the last three versions of the latest file have stumped me.
Just to test, I first just tried to convert the file (33MB), unchanged, to pdf/x3 using the save as other option - message reads "the document has been saved, however, it could not be converted according to the selected standard profile: convert to PDF/X. Please use preflight with the profile "Convert to PDF/X" in order to identify those properties of the document which prevent it from being compliant to this profile"
if I then choose under Profiles - convert to PDF/X3 - it says no problems found, and appears to have saved the file. If I try to save again as a pdf/x3, just to make sure, it then tells me it's not pdf/x3 compliant
OK - so then I go back to preflight - and choose the standards function - then pdf/x3, then continue with the default colour profile. About halfway through the conversion, at the point of saving the file, I get the message "unable to save the pdf file after post processing"
So far I've had no luck figuring out what this is.
I then choose the option of "verify compliance of ppdf/x3" - message reads "pdf/x3 version key (GTS_PDFXVersion) missing", and "Trapped key not true or false"
Help!! How can I be sure the file converted / or not?

Yes I was/am aware of Preflight's inability to play nicely over cloud technologies in certain cases, especially wrt Standards technologies, this will be partially addressed in an upcoming version of Preflight without saying too much. But the same thing could theoretically have happened if the file was also located on another local network client or server. Leaving aside the argument that this may violate the Acrobat User Agreement - since purchasing the software, the user agrees to employ its functionality on a single host system and precludes host-client-based scenarios - this simply is not a supported use, meaning the user may not have expectations that it will work at all, if the applications requirements are not observed. There do exist server-solutions for Preflight files within networks, but Acrobat and by extension Acrobat Preflight is not one of those solutions, and (still) belongs in the single host-based desktop environment.
However most (99.9%) functions within Acrobat <-> acrobat.com file exchange are supported, file syncing across multiple devices will soon be supported, but Standards compliance is still admittedly a problem at this point. Some testing has been done using 3rd party cloud technologies starting with enterprise-based solutions, such as Office 365, and this will continue to ramp up to include other 3rd party products.
As for the second point, Preflight will usually change the PDF version to be complaint, are you saying that it was unable to do so in this case? It seems that this error should have popped up during the normal Preflight conversion attempt. Personally I think solving a workflow problem using the print path is a little bit of a heavy-handed approach, but if helped and the results are acceptable, then that is good. Since that path is non-existent on a Mac, as one needs to Save as Adobe PDF from the Print dialog's PDF drop-down menu, I am assuming your workflow involved file creation on a Mac, then further processing on Windows using the PDF printer. I am wondering if a simple resave/Save As... to PDF with overwrite on a Mac, or Preflighting the file using a PDF version compatibility profile before the PDF/X conversion would have helped. Since there are such a multitude of methods that a PDF can be created, there are also many ways within Acrobat that a user can shape the file to be compatible with the expected workflow, ie, 'many ways to skin a cat', without being morbid.

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?

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 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.

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.
