Save .PDF back to SharePoint, Acrobat is renaming files

My problem is that Acrobat is renaming and also creating a new PDF file with both a random filename, when I save a .PDF file witch is checked out in SharePoint.
I'm trying to find a way around the problem that we cannot save a .PDF file back to SharePoint. Because Adobe Acrobat cannot handle Webdav, I’m glad that Microsoft SharePoint haves a build-in features that enables us to open files in explorer, just like you access a network dive. So I`m using this option to open a .PDF file and save it back to SharePoint.
This all works but only when a file is not checked out in SharePoint. When a file is checked out (by me) and I save the file. Acrobat gives me the error: “The document could not be saved. Cannot save to this filename. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder.”. It then first creates a new file with the name “aaa04588” (without the .PDF extension). And then it renames the original file to “aab04588”.
The file “aaa04588” contains all the changes I have made. The file “aab04588” is the same (old) file and is still checked out (by me).
I have no clue what Acrobat is trying to do.
When a file in SharePoint is checked-out by another user, adobe acrobat gives me the nice notice “There was an error opening this document. Lock violation.”. It then refuses to show me the document, where I would expect to open in read only mode.
I have tried to simulate this with other programs, but they all handle correctly by just overwriting the file or open in read only mode. This is also what I expect.
I`m using the latest version of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, version 9.3.3. I have tested It on MOSS 2007 and SharePoint 2010.
I hope someone could help me find the problem that causing this.

There is also a free plugin for Acrobat called “Swiftwriter” from the company omtool. The disadvantage of this plugin is that it does not remember from where the .PDF file is opened. Therefor you need to click trough the complete SharePoint sites and lists to save your work back to SharePoint.

Save PDF form to SharePoint

Hello Experts,
This is my 1st question in this forum (& regarding Acrobat as well).
Here's the scenario;
We have SharePoint 2013 environment which is used for lot of things around documents, workflows, projects etc. In one of the projects, we have a requirement to use PDF Forms. These forms will be provisioned as part of the Document Set (inside document set), we are able to convert word/excel forms in to pdf & setup the columns, validations etc and all is well so far.
Here's the Problem:
When the user opens the pdf form > fills in information > click on save > Points to local machine documents folder VS. we prefer to set it up in such a way where the form holds on to the link from where it was opened and saves it back to the same location. Of course, user may get a prompt that the file already exists and thats completely fine.
I have been trying to get around this since last week and haven't made any progress and finally thought of asking the experts for help.
Please help, your time and efforts are highly appreciated. Kindly let me know if there are any questions.
Regards,
Chandra

SharePoint Integration was introduced in Acrobat X. So the signers will have to be on Acrobat X (latest patch 10.1.4) and above, to be able to check out the form from SharePoint and sign it. Just saving the form to SharePoint server and checking out from there should solve your purpose with Acrobat/Reader 10.1.4.You dont need to even distribute it.

Saving changes in PDF back to sharepoint

I have a pdf on a sharepoint server that I want to add a note to, but when I try to save it the save function is not available. I can only use Save as... and then the file is saved locally on my computer not on the sharepoint server. Is this a "Feature" or is something wrong? If it is a error is it with sharepoint or Acrobat?
I can save changes to word files back to the server without any problem.
Thanks for any help.

Geo,
A bit of time has passed on this topic, but I, too, would like to know how to patch Sharepoint so that Adobe Acrobat files can be edited. Specifically, we would like to post Acrobat files enabled for commenting to Sharepoint, and have users check out the files, add comments using Acrobat commenting functionality, then check them back in. Can this be done? Any light you can shed will be greatly appreciated.
Thx,
GMc

Hi Dharmender ,
Did you try to repair your Acrobat once ?If not please try the same and check if that helps you out .
Launch Acrobat >Navigate to Help >Repair Acrobat Installation .
Do you get any error message or any prompts when it hangs and become unresponsive ?
Does this happen with any specific PDF or all the PDF'?
Also you could try to uninstall Acrobat once and they re install it if the above step does not work .
Please restart your machine once as well.

Getting an Error when checking a PDF back into Sharepoint 2010

Hi,
I seem to be getting an error every time i want to check a document back into Sharepoint 2010. Error attached for you.
Does any one have any ideas why this may be happening?

Sorry - I am using Adobe Acrobat XI

I am trying to convert a PDF version 1.4 (acrobat 5.x) file to a Mircosoft word file?

The converted file comes back a formated in some type of garbled document.

Can you post a screenshot of the garbled result?
[topic moved to ExportPDF forum]

Unable to save PDF. The disk used for temporary files is full.

I just started getting the "Document could not be saved. The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files is full. Free some space on this disk and try again, or save to a different disk" message.
I am running Windows 8. I've seen fixes for this on the Internet for previous versions of Windows on the Internet, but haven't seen one that works for Windows 8. Help, please.

Same problem here. Any ideas?
Saving with Shortcut "CRTL+SHIFT+S" works just fine.
Using IE 11.0.9600.17728 and Adobe Reader 11.0.10

Can open a SharePoint Word document but do not have option to save back to SharePoint.

Office 2013. I create documents in Word and save them to a folder in SharePoint. Certain users can click on the file in SharePoint, and open/edit the contents. But when they save the document by clicking the Save icon, the document is saved to the \temp
directory. When they select Save As and then select SharePoint, they have to browse to/find the directory (it is one of hundreds), and when they finally try to save it to the correct directory they over-write the document that is there, erasing all changes
from other editors.
I have 6 people contributing to my documents on SharePoint, and 2 of them have this problem. All other users are fine.
I checked the Trusted settings on their computer but it seems they are carried over from the document I created...so I am stuck.

Hi Kokiafan,
According to your description, my understanding is that some users could not save documents back to SharePoint by default.
You mentioned that you have checked the Trusted settings, where was the Trusted settings? Was it from IE or Office?
Please uncheck “Enable Protected View for files located in potentially unsafe location” in the Trust Center of Office, compare the result.

How to sign a pdf file and save it directly back to sharepoint site?

Hello,
I own a Sharepoint site for testing. It is installed in my computer with Sharepoint 2010 (WSS). What I want to do is to find a way to achieve a signing function for pdf file type on sharepoint.
By refer to this site below, the site has been able to recognize pdf file type and open it and edit it directly on the sharepoint site.
http://www.portalsolutions.net/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=40
I can edit the pdf file by checking out and then the modification will be save directly back to the pdf file in the shared document library when I am done. Now the problem is, I cannot save the pdf directly back to sharepoint after I inserted a digital signature
to the pdf file.
Everytime I inserted a digital signature to the pdf file, a "save as..." window would pop up and asked me to save the signed pdf file as another file in my local computer, so the changes were not applied to the original pdf file on the shared document library
of my sharepoint site. I have to upload the local signed version back to the site and replace the old one manually.
Any suggestion? Thank you.
Mengxin Wu

Hi,
According to my analysis, for Digital Signatures: Adobe has changed the behavior around digital signatures and SharePoint-hosted PDF files. Now, when digitally signing a SharePoint-hosted PDF file, it will be saved directly to SharePoint if that PDF file
is already checked out. If not, the user will be prompted to check it out. When digitally signing a SharePoint-hosted PDF file in Acrobat X, Version 10.0, the user would be prompted to save that file locally and would then need to upload it separately to SharePoint
as a new version.
I suggest that you use Acrobat X, then check the result. For more information about Acrobat X, please refer to
http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfitmatters/2011/06/whats-new-in-acrobat-x-version-10-1.html
In addition, you can also consider the following third-party tool:

WIN 7/32-bit, Acrobat Standard 9, can't save pdf in "libraries" folders

I am running Windows 7/32-bit with Acrobat Standard 9.3.2, the operating system is fully patched and updated.
For some odd reason, when I try to convert an office document (working in Office 2003) via the "convert to PDF" button in the "acrobat PDF" toolbar I can't save the document in my "libraries" folder. This folder of course contains "my documents" and is where I prefer to save most of my PDF files. I click on "libraries" to select the place to save the PDF but all that comes up is "no items match your search."
Alternatively, if I try to print the office document to the Adobe PDF printer I get to the menu where it asks where I want to save the PDF file and again, I cannot access the libraries folder. Other locations work fine, such as the desktop, network folders, accessing the C drive and doing down the tree to "my documents', but not the actual libraries folder. Acrobat almost seems to think it is blank.
I'd appreciate any ideas, as I have several users under me in the same position.

Hi Guys,
I have the solution to your problems and I will go ahead an explain it in detail so that no questions will be raised.
I have struggled to get WINDOWS 7 (32BIT) to run on the Touchsmart 300 PC now for three days (and nights) but I know how you can do it.
The problem lies within the VGA Adapter (Graphics Card) this little buddy has incompatible drivers with the inbuilt functions of the Touchsmart PC in its generic (Windows Preloaded) form. Therefore what you can do is the this.
Step 1: Insert Windows 7 (32Bit) disk and start the setup process and follow it until it hits the problem. (Millisecond of Bluescreen)
Step 2: Once the PC starts booting repeatedly press F8 (I mean it just keep on pressing that button until you can select "Safe Mode")
Step3: Once Windows Setup screen is back it will tell you an error! Which is good. INSTEAD of pressing "OK" (to restart) press SHIFT + F10 (opens the command prompt)
Step4: You should automatically be in \Windows\System32 now enter the following command: CompMgmtLauncher (This is the Device Manager).
(If the default directory is not System32 the navigate to it by entering "cd windows" and "cd system 32" (cd = change directory)
Step5: In the Device Manager (do not worry it will take some time to load) select navigate to "Display Adapters" - "ATI Radeon ..." RIGHT-CLICK on it and choose disable. (To be sure Windows will not have any other troubles you should do the same for all highlighted devices. the once with the yellow triangle)
Step6: Once this is done restart your system and let the install run into the normal mode and finish the install.
Step7: Once Windows starts for the first time. Use the provided ATI Radeon Driver from HP (NOT the original one) from the support download website to install the correct driver.
Step8: Resart and enjoy!
Hope this helps and let me say to AMD/ATI yopu guys really suck at your one product drivers!
Cheers and Out.

Acrobat is forcing user to rename files in order to save edits

I have been using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for awhile to create, edit, and save PDF files. Starting yesterday, Adobe is forcing me to rename each PDF before any edits can be saved to existing PDF files. Can anyone help me to understand why this is happening and how I can fix it? I want to be able to save a PDF as needed without having to rename it. I have found that others in the forum have had the same problem, but I have not found any threads where an answer is offered. Please help!

Make sure you disable the Preview panel in Windows Explorer.

I can't save *new* documents back to SharePoint

I can’t save *new* documents back to SharePoint. We have a SharePoint 2013 development environment, running on Windows Server 2012 and a Windows 7 Client Computer with Office 2010.
Every time I click „new document“, SharePoint opens the corresponding template file in the client application (Word, Excel,…) So far, so good. When i select „Save“, the client application brings up a local save path on the client computer, not the SharePoint
document library.
I did some research and tried many approaches, but none of them worked.
I installed the Desktop Experience Feature on the Windows Server 2012, added the server address to trusted sites, gave the user farm-administrator rights (to make sure it is no security problem) and switched the authentication mode for the web application.
Does anyone know this problem and found a solution?

Hi,
For troubleshooting your issue, you can try to add a registry value to your local registry (on a machine with Office Applications installed through which you are accessing SharePoint sites):
Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Multi-String Value.
Type AuthForwardServerList, and then press ENTER.
On the Edit menu, click Modify.
In the Value data box, type the URL of the server that hosts the Web share, and then click OK.
Note You can also type a list of URLs in the Value data box. For more information, see the "Sample URL list" section in this article.
Exit Registry Editor.

My Adobe Acrobat will no longer let me save PDF documents

I own the Adobe Creative Suite 4 that comes with Adobe Acrobat, which for years has allowed me to save PDF documents. Last month I decided to test Adobe Acrobat Pro for 30 days to see how well it converted PDF documents, and have since decided against it. I did not subscribe or buy a license for it and would like to be able to use my old version of Adobe Acrobat to save PDF documents, but it no longer allows me to do so. I re-installed it from the disk but it still won't let me save PDF files. I do not want to purchase a program that I already have just to be able to save PDF documents and would like to know how to get mine to work again. I work on a Mac.
Thank you to anyone that can help me.

Hi Sara,
the Suite comes with Adobe Acrobat, and I've had it for a few years, I paid full price for the suite. However, it seems that after I downloaded the new Acrobat Reader the old one no longer shows up for me to show you the issue. The new one works. And I think it is very odd that it did that as well. My guess is that the trial version of Pro that I downloaded to test out messed with the old version I had, and it refused to let me use it for a while, then I was able to force it to come up but the "Save" option was just NOT highlighted as an option. I was even having a difficult time downloading the regular version of Adobe Acrobat up until today, after I posted on this website. Every time I tried it said it couldn't because I already had a version in my computer. But today it allowed me. Very bizarre. A definite glitch I think. Anyhow, I don't think we can proceed because I can't get my old version up, the new one probably wrote over the old one. So...thank you again for your interest, I really appreciate it.
