Save feature on PDF download not active?

I downloaded a PDF and it is in reader mode only and does not allow me to save.
I have been able to save PDF's to my computer before.

Save as Reduced Size PDF and Save as Optimized PDF do not reduce the file size. What gives?

Save as Reduced Size PDF and Save as Optimized PDF do not reduce the file size. What gives? I used Acrobat 9 to do this for a long time. I recently received new laptop loaded with with Acrobat 10 and it does not work the same. I typically scan 8-10 pages of receipts, combine the files in Acrobat, and then optimize to reduce the size so I can upload with my expense report. Typically, my files were reduced to 200-400 KB. I have a 2 MB file that will not reduce at all.

Bernd, thank you for your attempt to help but the option dialog windows do not contain the same options. There are numerous other posts on this forum about this issue and there is no answer. Clearly, there is an issue. I have submitted this issue to our internal help desk.

Word 2007 "Save as Adobe PDF" - Pictures not showing up in PDF

Good Afternoon,
I have run into this error recently when using the "Save as Adobe PDF" to publish Word 2007 report.
Each report has an table - pasted from Excel 2007 "as a picture - when printed". The reports have a ton of other jpg pictures.
After creation, when I open the PDF, some of the tables appear to have become transparent. Where the picture used to be is a selection box, as if there were a picture there, but it's merely blank. All of the photos, frames, and Word-based tables show up. Some of the pasted-from-Excel tables also show up, not these ones.
Is there a reason for this discrepency? Is there a way to resolve the issue? I used the search bar and found nothing that matched my issue. All of my software is up to date.
Thank you for whatever help you can provide.

did you ever solve this issue? I have the same problem and "view large images" is the only answer I can find and it DOES NOT WORK.
I posted the question elsewhere, but nobody has replied. here's my situation:
When creating PDF documents from any software (Illustrator, Corel, InDesign, etc), color objects over 50% of the page size have white fill. If object has an outline, the outline will appear normally, but the fill will be white. I've searched forums everywhere and have found no answer. Most forum topics on this are issue focus on settings in the program that exported the PDF. I am 100% sure this is not an export problem, but is something in Acrobat itself (a missed setting? Corrupt program file?)
To provide the best information, I've done a little scientific research. Here is what I know:
Currently running Acrobat Pro 9.5.5
This is only happening on ONE install of Acrobat 9. Documents display correctly in Reader X and in Acrobat 9 on other machines.
Started happening a few weeks ago, I have no idea what changed.
"Show Large Images" in preferences dialog is checked. Unchecking it and rechecking it does nothing.
Have installed all available updates to the software
I experimented with different object sizes. At 50% of page size, objects appeared normal, at 51% filled object disappears.
Does not affect photos, only affects vector objects.
running this on Windows Vista 64 Bit

Can't create PDF, Acrobat not activated

I recently needed to move my system over from XP to Vista since programs were unresponsive due to virus infection. Re-installed CS3 Design Premium which comes with Acrobat 8 Professional.
Had no problem previously creating PDFs, but now sometimes I can and sometimes I can't. When attempting to print from a report obtained from www.intellicorp.net (background check) I get an error message that says the software has not been activated, but it has been. I can print to Adobe from my Windows Calendar.
Tech Support's solution is to deactivate the suite, remove the programs, install Acrobat 8 then install the other components of CS3.
Does anyone have a solution that doesn't involve reinstalling.
Thanks,
Anna

Acrobat 7 just isn't compatible in the Windows 7 64-bit environment.
An excerpt from a KB article from the days of XP x64.
[ http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331732.html ]
Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Setup was unable to create a new item: Adobe PDF Port Printer," when you install Acrobat 7.0 or Acrobat 3D. The Adobe PDF Printer will not be created. Therefore you will be unable to print to the Adobe PDF Printer to create PDF files. Additionally, other PDF creation paths that use the Adobe PDF Printer will fail; this includes the PDFMaker functions in MS Office applications and AutoCAD and the Create PDF From Multiple Files option in the Acrobat file menu.
To create PDF files, create PostScript files and open them in Acrobat Distiller 7.0 to convert them to PDF. For instructions on creating PostScript files for use with Distiller, see document , "Install the AdobePS printer driver to create PostScript and printer files in Windows applications."
This KB article has a link for 64-bit compatibility of Acrobat 7.x, 8.x, and 9.x respectively.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403291.html
In a Windows 7 64-bit environment if Office 2010 applications are used and it is desired to use Acrobat's PDFMaker then Acrobat X is needed.

I am not sure how you have set up your PDF printing but I received the same error and depending on the type of report, I had to assign column aliases in the SQL for the PDF to open properly. The thread I posted is:

Featured News comp not activating state on rollerout of trigger

My Featured News composition is not activating the rollerover state on "rollout of trigger" I have a previous version of my composition which I am using as a menu which displays the correct state until I rollout of the trigger area yet my newest version with many new pages added to my site does not work. I have tried opening both compositions and even copying the working menu to the not working menu Muse file but then I have 2 menus that do not display the rollover state when the mouse is over the display area. I am very confused as to why one file works and one does not when all the setting for the Featured News composition are the same.
Has anyone else had this happen? If so how did you fix it?

Hello,
Please send your .muse file to [email protected] We'll need to take a look at the file. If the file is large send it using some file sharing service like Adobe SendNow, Dropbox or WeTransfer.
Please make sure the subject of the email is ATTN: Parikshit. And I am creating a case for this issue, we'll investigate once the file is received.
Thanks

PDF files not saving/missing and leaving "aa12345" and "aaa12345" files??? - Solution

risscand: I have workers that are unable to save and they are seeing an "aaa04916" type file in their working folder. This is causing us to lose work (because we are unable to save over the original file) or send out incomplete documents.
Mudassir: As I understand when you try to edit and save a document, it directly opens "Save As", is that correct?
risscand: No. When the user saves normally. Ctrl+S or the "Save" icon via the disk at the top of the page it appears to save however the PDF does not actually rewrite
risscand: This results in an aaa12345 file in the folder, but an unchanged PDF.
Mudassir: Okay.
Mudassir: Thank you for the information.
Mudassir: I will be glad to help you with this issue.
risscand: Excellent
Mudassir: May I know if you are chatting from the issue facing computer?
risscand: I am not currently experiencing the issue but many of the employees in this office are.
risscand: I can review the issue and see the files however, our worked is based off of a server.
Mudassir: Okay.
Mudassir: Marissa, this error often occurs due to a confict with Acrobat application and Windows Preview.
Mudassir: In order to resolve the issue, you need to disable the Windows Preview in the Windows Explorer
Mudassir: Follow the steps below to fix:
Mudassir: Go to “Computer” or a windows explorer window, click on the “View” tab and then make sure the “Preview pane” is unselected. Then try saving your PDF document again.
risscand: This option was not used by the users
risscand:: I just asked one of the individuals who was experiencing the issue and she has never used that option.
Mudassir: Just a minute.
risscand: Thanks
Mudassir: Thank you for your patience.
Mudassir: Are all the users using Acrobat or Adobe Reader to save the PDF files?
risscand: Acrobat
Mudassir: Is that PDF file saved on network?
risscand: Yes
Mudassir: Does that users have the complete access to the network drive and are all the users use that PDF at a time?
risscand: The PDF's are used one at a time. The individual who combines the reports that the workers probably does not have complete access to the network.
Mudassir: To re-write the PDF which is saved on network, the users need to have complete access. If not, they will get the save as option and they can save that PDF file on their local drive
Here are the options I got from Customer Service - Hopefully it will help some of you!

Hi risscand,

Photoshop CS5 - Save as Adobe pdf doesn't appear

HI, I AM TRYING TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WHOLE DAY. I HAVE MAC OSX 10.6.5 UPDATED, ACROBAT PRO 9.4.1 UPDATED, PHOTOSHOP CS 5 12.0.1 UPDATEM. BUT WHEN I WAS GO TO PRINT-PRINT SETTINGS-PDF THERE WHOLE UNDERLINE PRESETS DO NOTHING. /MEANS MAIL PDF, SAVE AS ADOBE PDF, SAVE AS PDFX, SAVE PDF TO IPHOTO/. NONE DIALOG FROM MENTIONED UNDERLINE ITEMS DOESN'T APPEAR IN PHOTOSHOP. NO ERROR, NOTHING. WHEN I TRY TO USE PDF-SAVE AS ADOBE PDF FROM IPHOTO DIALOG BOX APPEARS. I TRY ALSO OPEN IN ROSETTE ETC. ITS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO CREATE ADOBE PDF, NOT PHOTOSHOP PDF. BECAUSE PS PDF IS HUGE AND CAUSE FAILS ON SOLID SHAPES. THANKS FOR ADVICE. PS: SORRY FOR CAPS, WRITTING FROM HANDY

Hi, thanks. I now that this would be alternative, but photoshop PDF causes white places on the fonts and object where must be color or style layer. And as I wrote file is huge and not possible to print from it via offset printer. Downsampling cause bad quality. The problem is not to find alternative way.
Problem is why these function do not work. Its basic function of acrobat pro and I want to use it. Distiller creates high quality PDF with no errors nad small size. "Save as adobe PDF" works everywhere like iPhoto etc ect. and in Photoshop dialog box does not appear. It would be great if someone with PS CS5 and acrobat pro 9.4 can test it also, if it is not a bug.
Now I must only generates distiller PDF via windows because mac osx 10.6.5 do not support old version Adobe PDF printer and alternative Save as adobe PDF does not work for me.
From the time I bought mac I am very disappointed of it, many many problems that I do not know on windows platform. Bugs from adobe-repair update, mac os update-another bugs, adobe update, mac os update-another bugs....magic circle.
Thanks.

Acrobat 9.5 on Mac OS 10.6.8: How can I save a 11x17 PDF?

In Acrobat 9.5, "printing" to a PDF is done using the "PDF" >> "Save as Adobe PDF" dialog, not through a printer driver. I have been trying to save a PPTX (Mac:Powerpoint 2011) into 11x17 landscape, but the result is not what I want. Typically, the PDF output shrinks to 8.5x11. The PPTX file is setup as 11x17, so I would expect Acrobat to pick that up and produce a 11x17 PDF. Tested this with 2 different files - no luck. I have searched online for a solution and also tested the free CUPS PDF driver. I am beginning to suspect that perhaps this could be a limitation in PowerPoint. Regardless of the root cause for this issue: can you share a recommendation how to create a 11x17 PDF in the stated configuration, from Word or PowerPoint on a Mac? Thanks much.

Ok.. I've another set of steps through which you may obtain 11x17 without having to have the actual printer connected. First of all, remove all Printers from "Print & Fax" in "Settings" (you can always add them later).
This time, I have also put up the screenshot to help you in a better way, Request you to follow each of the steps carefully:-
Step 1:Open the PPTX file in Powerpoint 2011. (I am assuming that the PPTX file is already setup as 11 x 17 in). Go to File, Click on "Print".
As shown below, Click on "Page Setup" button.
Step 2: On the "Page Setup" dialog box, Click on "Options" button. (Refer to below Screenshot)
Step 3:Now select "Manage Custom Size" from the "Page Size" drop down menu. (Refer to below Screenshot)
Step 4:In the new dialog box, follow the steps as described in below screenshot.
Click on "+" sign
Enter a new configuration name, I had used "11x17". Remove any previously existing configurations if you are getting confused.
Enter the required width and height as 27.9 cm and 43.2 cm respectively.
Change all the values in the printable area to 0.
Click "OK"
Step 5: Select the paper orientation as shown below, and Click "OK"
Step 6: Select the Slides orientation as shown below and press "OK".
Step 7: In the "Print" dialogue box that now appears, you must see a drop-down menu right below Presets menu. In this menu, "Copies & Pages" is selected by default.
You need to select "Paper Handling" in this menu.
Step 8:Now the "Print" dialogue box may seem like below screenshot.
Select "11x17" from the "Destination Paper Size" menu. This is the same size that was configured earlier in Step 4.
Click on "PDF" button at left-bottom corner and select "Save as Adobe PDF"
Step 9: Click on "Continue" on the "Save as Adobe PDF" dialogue box and provide a suitable PDF name and destination in next dialogue box.
Step 10: A PDF by that name be produced at the location as specified in previous step.
I have also put up the screenshot of the PDF that I obtained. And, it's size is as expected (11 in X 17 in).
Let us know, if your problem is still not resolved.
Regards,
Shashi

The memo feature will not save on my PDF attachment

The memo note feature on the adobe reader will not save on the PDF attachment. Any Idea how to correct?

If the pdf is part of an email, you need to download the attachment separately. Add your comment to the downloaded email. It will not become part of the email you received as an email.

Firefox will not remember to use Reader for PDF downloads

When using Gmail, I have an email with PDF attachments. For each PDF attachment, there are 3 options: Use the built-in reader, download, or copy to Google Drive. When I select download, the popup says "You have chosen to open:..." and then offers two selections: "Open with" and "Save File". Previously, the "Open with" option would remember that I wanted to use Reader with PDF file. It will no longer does that. I have to browse and find Reader each time, even though I've clicked "Do this automatically". Each time I do browse to Reader, it will use it. It simply won't remember to use Reader the next time. Under Options-Application, it does say that for PDF files, it should "Use Adobe Reader". I have reinstalled Firefox, along with making sure the profile folders in my application data were deleted, so this is a clean version.

Oh boy....turns out it is OK, it's just not obvious.
Even though the download pop-up lists no application next to "Open with" (which I'm pretty sure it used to), it WILL use Reader when I click the OK button.
Another odd thing: When the popup window is not active, as if when I'm using the Snipping Tool to get a snapshot, the OK button is grayed out (that sure doesn't help when trying to get help from you guys), but when it is active, it is not grayed out and is the default button.
