Save Existing PDF in Adobe Reader XI

I've just installed Adobe Reader XI on a bunch of workstations and I'm confused on how to save an existing PDF. For example, if I open a PDF from My Documents, stamp or make a comment, and then try to save, it brings up the Save As box. The same thing happens if I pull up a PDF from our SharePoint site, stamp or comment, and try to save. How do I just save the changes I've made to the existing PDF? It can't be that difficult but I feel like I'm missing something. Thanks!

I don't know why this happens; sometimes it helps to disable Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
Or check if the new Adobe Acrobat Reader DC works better.

  • How to save filled PDF in adobe reader 9.0

    Can you please tell me how to save filled PDF in adobe reader 9.0 with all the filled details

    You cannot buy 8 or 9.
    In X (10 - which you can't buy either), you can do File > Save as > Reader Extended PDF > Enable additional features.
    Important notes:
    1. KEEP THE ORIGINAL. Once rights are added many kinds of editing are permanently locked out.
    2. THERE ARE STRICT LIMITS on the number of people who can save a form. Details in the EULA: check it carefully (or have a lawyer check it).
    Also note that Reader XI can save forms with no special preparation.

  • How do I save a pdf in Adobe Reader XI (11.0.06)?

    Does anyone know how to save a pdf now from Adobe Reader?  If I try to save now it gives me the option of either save to online account or to Acrobat.com but neither of those work when I want to attach the pdf to an e-mail.  The only place I can see the pdf is on the Mac that I'm working from.  It cannot be accessed by anybody I send it to despite them all having Adobe Reader.  I'm sure this wasn't the way it was before and this is driving me insane now.  So many hours spent on what should be a really simple task
    Thanks

    I've never found technology to make life easier. It mainly offers the promise (often unfulfilled) of making it cheaper or quicker. This didn't happen when the Girl Guides put a form in an envelope and posted it. But they probably laid off the person whose job that was with the promise of everything being easy on the internet.
    PDF has, curiously, become a victim of its own success. A few years ago, you could say to people "You need Adobe Reader" and it was the only serious game in town. So they got it and it works. Now everyone is making their own PDF reader for whatever reason, fewer and fewer people can be sure of having Reader. (PDF readers come at least with every Mac, every Windows 8 system, Chrome and FireFox, which covers a LOT of ground).
    This is coupled with a bizarre decision Adobe made a few years ago to have two kinds of form, one of which all the other software fails with (and, as I noted, even Adobe's own software on iPad and Android fails). This was a neat idea which was designed for big corporations. Then the really big mistake: giving everyone with Acrobat the tools to make these new kinds of form, and making it seem they were preferre or the only game in town. This is finished now (Acrobat 11 doesn't include this big boy's software) but the damage is done, oh how it is done.
    Even regular forms tend to only work properly in real Adobe Reader. The fact is, if you make or distribute PDF forms you need to tell people to use Adobe Reader, and to know exactly how to help them do that. If people can't do that or their users won't be motivated to bother, then PDF forms are no longer a suitable choice. Sad but true.

  • Save editable pdf in Adobe Reader?

    I have made an editable pdf. I want my colleagues to fill in this pdf. But they have Adobe Reader… Is there any way (in Adobe Reader) that they can make changes, save it and then email it to customers?

    If you are talking about a form they would need to fill out, Adobe Reader XI can do that or if you have Acrobat, you can add form fields that all versions of Reader can fill out.
    If you are talking about any other type of edits, Reader cannot do that.

  • Cannot save many pdfs with Adobe Reader X

    Hi,
    I download lots of articles as pdfs for teaching, and ever since I updated Adobe Reader to version 10.0.1, I am having trouble saving copies of pdfs for many journals. I have to email myself a copy instead. Is this a problem with the journals not being updated somehow, or is it the Adobe Reader version?
    Thanks,
    Meghan

    Here is a URL that will not save in Reader X:
    http://samplepdf.com/sample.pdf?meaningless=1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456 789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456 789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456 7890/&blah=blah.pdf
    However, if the last slash is removed or encoded as %2f (which should not be necessary, as it appears in the query portion of the URL), there is no problem.

  • Why can't I fill out a PDF in Adobe Reader and email it with the saved information?

    When I fill out a PDF in Adobe Reader and "Save As" to desktop the filled out information goes blank when I attach it to an email. Additionally, I can't save to word or excel except for online. What can I do to fix this?

    Try using Adobe Reader XI (fully updated).

  • Problems opening PDF in Adobe Reader

    When I try to open a PDF using Adobe Reader the Adobe Reader page opens but not my PDF. The computer freezes for a few seconds and then the Sdobe Reader page shuts down. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no sucess. If it makes any difference I am using Firefox but I tried Explorer as well with the same result. Please help if you are able.

    Hi,
    Welcome to Adobe forums.
    Are you trying to open the PDF in web browser, or you are trying to open a PDF locally in Adobe Reader application ?
    - please save a PDF file locally and then open Adobe Reader to view the PDF file.
    Please share the result with me, so that I can help you accordingly.
    If you are able to open the PDF file locally, please see the document (to open the PDF file in Web Browsers) : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html

  • Disable Save As Prompt in Adobe Reader XI

    Hi, we upgraded our Adobe Reader 9 Installations to Adobe Reader XI. Now in multiple pdf-documents we are getting a save as dialog by exiting the PDF. We never made changes to this documents.
    The PDF-Documents having this problems are generated with a Visual Basic Application. The PDFs are published with PDF Standard 1.1
    If we overwrite the Version 1.1 PDF it will be converted to Version 1.6. After that the Warning-Message disappears.
    Is it possible to disable this message without editing our Visual Basic Application? Thank you for your help.

    Your application is probably making PDF files which are slightly incorrect. When this is detected, Adobe Reader attempts to repair the file. If this is successful, there will be a prompt to save on exit. Adobe Reader could not save files in earlier releases, so the effect of incorrect files was not discovered.

  • How do you encrypt a PDF with Adobe reader, not Adobe Acrobat?

    I would like to encrypt PDFs using Adobe Reader. However, all instructions for encrypting a PDF require me to use Adobe ACROBAT, not Adobe READER. How do I encrypt a PDF using Adobe Reader?
    Extra Note: I use Adobe READER version XI and Mac OS X 10.9.

    Adobe Reader does exactly what its name says: it reads PDF files, nothing more.

    I have created a PDF and password protected it for view. However, when reading the PDF in Adobe Reader app on the iPad the commenting and annotation options are not available. Is there a way to allow commenting and annotation in the app while password protecting the document?

    Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features?  I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option

  • Printing a PDF in Adobe Reader  v8 does not print watermark

    In our office we have PDFs created with Adobe Acrobat Professional version 7 that have a lighten watermark which say "confidential". These PDF documents print fine with Adobe Reader 7.0.8. Our office has now converted to Adobe Reader 8.1.1. When you open the PDF in Adobe Reader v8.1.1 the watermark displays on the screen but when you print the document the document prints without the watermark.
    I have checked the knowledge base and can't find this issue. The document has no trouble printing, it just doesn't display the watermark. I have tested Adobe Reader versions 8.0, 8.1.1 and the new version 8.1.2 all display the watermark when you open the Reader, but none of them print the watermark. I have gone back and verify and the watermark does print on Adobe Reader v7.0.8.
    If anyone has a similar issue or solution please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Mary Mendoza

    I have the same problem. The watermark does not print out even though I can see it in the print preview. Anybody...?

    Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

    Yoh, what is FSCCommanr ? sorry man I am an absolute beginner in Flash. I tried the code:
    /* Click to Go to Web Page
    Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.
    Instructions:
    1. Replace http://www.adobe.com with the desired URL address.
       Keep the quotation marks ("").
    instance_name_here.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
    function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void {
      navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com"), "_blank");
    this is the same code I used before and it opens a pdf file in a web browser, and it doesn't open an AutoCAD file.

  • How to create a non downloadable pdf in Adobe reader X?

    Hi,
    How can I create a non downloadble pdf in Adobe Reader X. Please help.
    Regards,
    Shreya

    Good day,
    To Bernd's point, you cannot stop someone from downloading your PDF (or any file for that matter) if you put them onto the Internet.  There are ways of limiting how long a file can be viewable for through some server side software options, but ultimately, to your original question, you cannot create PDF files with Adobe Reader.
