Saving a PDF file in Sharepoint 2013

 Basically, the PDF files will not allow my reviewers to add a post it note comment and save it automatically back to Sharepoint. Instead it is causing them to add the comment, resave on their desktop and reupload the file. In other words it creates
too many steps. :) 

The first thing to ask is what version of Acrobat are you using?  And with which browser.  If it's Acrobat 9 and earlier (I think, the community will correct me if I'm in error) than they're not on very good talking terms.

  • Disable IRM for PDF files in SharePoint 2013

    Hi,
    Do anyone know how to disable PDF protection in SharePoint 2013. Earlier version they did not have it OOTB, so users were using same library to upload office documents and pdf as well expecting that only office docs are protected. But now PDF protection
    is enable by default.
    Please let me know if anyone know how to disable IRM from PDF docs only and keeping other Office docs protected as it.
    Thanks,

    I had the same issue, as my customer was not prepared to implement IRM on PDF documents, and there seems to be only a third-party solution PDF viewer which supports AD RMS. I was surprised to find this enabled by default, but it can be removed. Delete
    the key below from the registry, and then run 'iisreset' from an elevated command prompt.

  • Upload Center 2010 error when saving Powerpoint 2010 file to SharePoint 2013

    I'm experiencing an issue when attempting to save a Powerpoint 2010 file to our SharePoint 2013 farm.  If a user opens the file in Edit mode, when saving the file Upload Center 2010 complains the upload failed, and PowerPoint 2010 displays a message
    "Upload Failed  The server version of this file was updated by another author" and 2 buttons are displayed "Keep My Version" and "Keep Server Version".  This is incorrect though, because I confirmed on the server end
    the changes have been made.  If a user keeps hitting save, sometimes it won't fail during the upload.
    If a user opens a file in Read Only mode, then clicks on the Edit button in Powerpoint 2010 and saves the changes, they are then prompted by the error "Refresh Required  This file needs to be refreshed with updates.  Click Save to refresh
    and retry uploading your changes." Once again this is incorrect, as the changes have already been made in SharePoint.
    I've recreated this error on multiple workstations, have tried re-installing Upload Center 2010, and have tried complete repairs of Office 2010.  The occur continues to persist.  This only occurs with Powerpoint 2010 though, and none of the other
    Office 2010 products.  I feel this is a bug in Upload Center 2010 with SharePoint 2013, because when I save from PowerPoint 2010 through a WebDAV connection over file explorer, it saves fine without any issue.
    Has anyone run into this problem before?  Below are some screenshots of the errors.
    Here's the error when opening in Edit mode:

  • Generate PDF file in SharePoint 2013

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to create .pdf file while one item is submitted to list/library in SharePoint 2013.
    It means when employee inputs his/her data and after submit one pdf file will generated with the summary/relevant data.
    Can any one help me to figure out this scenario.
    Is it possible with SharePoint out of box feature?
    Please help if any solution.
    Thank You

    you can not achieve this out of box, custom development with integration of 3rd party controls is required to generate pdf files. There are paid components available but i will suggest you to use iTextSharp which is a free open source library to generate
    pdf files.
    You can refer below link to generate pdf on basis of your requirement.

    As the “Download A Copy” button was available when the users(View Only permission) clicked a PDF file, you can try to hide the “Download A Copy” option based on user permissions.

  • Can't open Excel files from Sharepoint 2013

    I am having an issue with opening Excel files from SharePoint 2013. If I click on an excel file it comes up with the error below.
    If I click Try again I get the message below also:
    If I try to open Word or PDF files they open correctly in the appropriate client and I have the option of checking them out and editing them. Any ideas why this would only be happening to Excel files?
    Thanks,
    Shaun

    Hi Shaun,
    I understand that the Excel files cannot be opened from SharePoint in Microsoft Excel.
    Can these files be viewed in the browser?
    I recommend to download a copy of the files with issue and then open them in Excel to see if the issue still occurs.
    If above cannot work, I recommend to repair Office.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

  • How do you change the default save as directory when saving a PDF file to your hard drive?

    This is the on-line help instructions on this site:
    Downloading a PDF file to your hard drive
    You can download a PDF file to the hard drive from a web page's link. Downloading PDF files doesn't require the ActiveX plug-in file to be installed. (If you want to open and view the PDF file after downloading it, you must have Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or Acrobat Reader installed.)
    To download a PDF file from a link:
    1. Right-click the link to a PDF file, and then choose Save Target As from the pop-up menu.
    2. In the Save As dialog box, select a location on your hard drive, and then click Save.
    My issue:  I want to save several pdf files (from the Adobe Reader in my browser) one at a time and each time it defaults the save as directory to the desktop and I have to go looking for the directory I last saved a pdf file in.  I got lots of directories and I wish I could change the default setting for the save as directory.  Just a minor thing but irritating as other programs usually will allow you to switch the default save as directory to one of your choosing.

    There is not a way to set the default location from all the forums i searched in the last couple days.

  • Print to PDF - using Snow Leopard (Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose

    i have a PDF form that i created that is used as a custom proposal that my company sends out to potential clients. the form in its editable state is only used internally. we recently upgraded to snow leopard, but prior to the upgrade, we were able to fill the custom proposal form out using adobe reader, and, as you well know, we weren't able to save that edited document as a PDF with the custom form fields filled out. our work around using adobe reader was to print to a pdf using the adobe pdf printer in the printer dialog. with the addition of snow leopard, however, instead of choosing the adobe pdf printer, we were to choose PDF from the bottom left corner, then Save As PDF, and it would spit out an uneditable pdf that then allowed us to email it to the potential client without them being able to edit it as well as have an internal, digital copy for our records instead of having lots of paper floating around (i know this is also doable using security that disallows the client certain editing privileges, but printing to a pdf is much quicker and more efficient, and the pdf security isn't really that secure at its best).
    in any case, i came across this gem of a post here on the support forums that installs another option from the PDF drop down on the bottom left of the print dialog menu that reads Save As Adobe PDF and is supposed to do exactly what i am trying to get it to do...print to a pdf file from adobe reader.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html    
    once i updated to acrobat 9.2 (as the link above suggests 9.1), however, the Save As Adobe PDF does appear in the print dialog menu, but it still gives me the same error that acrobat 8 - 9 gave me while using Snow Leopard — Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save — and as i've already explained, you can't save an edited pdf form in reader (as i am the only one in the office with acrobat) and still keep the fields as you've entered them in. the only work around is to print to a pdf but is apparently having some recent problems.
    using acrobat, however, i know that i can save the editable pdf as a new file with the fields customized as i have left them, but it still saves it as an editable pdf and the print to a pdf option still remains the best option...that way we have digital copies internally that are uneditable that can be printed at any time or emailed to the client.
    how can i do print to a pdf, based on what i've written above, using snow leopard and acrobat and reader?

    A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

  • Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File Save.

    I am using Mountain Lion (10.8.2) and I was using Adobe Reader version 9. In the past, I've always been able to print to file using the File -> Print dialogue but all of a sudden it stopped working. I read somewhere that installing the latest version of Adobe Reader (version 11) would remove the old printer, so I did so. It took me about an hour on version 11 to even find the pdf print to file option, but I am getting the same message. For what it's worth, when I try print to file from Microsoft Word, I have no problem. I have no idea why things changed all of a sudden, but does anyone have any idea how I can get this working again?

    I checked with Adobe.  No luck. 
    Allow me to clarify my problem: 
    I have Adobe Reader XI. I also use a Mac--imac and a MacBook Pro.   My adobe was updated on 12/24.  Prior to that point, I could open my print dialogue box and there was a PDF tab on the bottom left.  In the drop down menu there were many choices, including but not limited to Open in PDF Preview, Print PDF, Save PDF, email PDF.  If I selected one page of 30 pages from a document saved in Adobe, I could extract just that one page and save it or email it, without having to send the entire document.   After the update, when I open a PDF file using ADOBE READER XI, and then open the print dialogue box, and follow those same steps, I get the message "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save."   My question is why is this feature now unavailable and is there a way to fix it? 
    The answer I got from Adobe was that Adobe never had this function, so it must have been via my print or preview programs..which are apple.  Does anyone have any thoughts?
    Thank you.

    Hi Guys,
    I upgrade from leopard to snow and now I don't have the possibility anymore to to print PDF as a PDF.
    Before I was going to print and then choose save as a pdf and everything ok.
    Now after the upgrade to snow every time that I am going to print a pdf from a pdf (acrobat 9 and X) I received this msg "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save "
    Why that happened ? how can I fix it?
    The thing is that I have a pdf form (contract) that I have to fill up and print it as a pdf.
    Now I can't do that I can save only the form with the fields unlock.
    thanks you in advance for your help.

    Ah.. this is so annoying filled in a long form.. which doesn't allow saving.. I assumed as normal with this type of form I could print to PDF and at least get a electronic copy.. but no, I made the mistake of installing Adobe Reader.. and it has screwed up the print options.. when I try to save as PDF from the print menu I get the helpful suggestion
    "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save."
    When I do as suggested.. it helpfully tells me that it will only save a "blank form"..
    Adobe has badly messed up their reader.. I now need to print out and then scan this document to get the electronic copy I need.. I will be uninstalling promptly after this fiasco..

    A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
    Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially. 
    I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
    You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.

  • AcroPro9, snow leopard, "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported"

    Hi,
    I have AcroPro9.1.3 (and 8 and 7 and Dreamweaver CS3, and probably other stuff too) on Snow Leopard (10.6.1).
    I've read about de-installing the Acrobat printer and using "save as Adobe PDF" from the PDF button on the print menu.  However, when I try this, I'm told "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported".  Note that this is AcroPro9, not AcroReader.  I get the same message when I try any of the other options under the PDF menu on the printer menu in Acrobat.  In other applications, tho, (eg powerpoint), the PDF button works fine.
    Before the upgrade, the PDF button on the print menu didn't work either (same message), so I used the Adobe printer, but now I can't.  I had always assumed that AcroPro was stopping me from using Apple's PDF generator in favour of the Adobe one.  But maybe some of my settings are wrong.
    I now cannot print to PDF from Acrobat.  Help.  There are 120 fourth year software engineering students who will appreciate any help I get, as I can then post my recent lecture notes for them.
    (What I really want to do is to take my powerpoint slides and print 4-up versions directly.  But the PPT idea of 4up wastes a lot of space, so I generate 1up PDF, and the 4up PDF from that using Acrobat.  At least, I used to.  It was so much easier in the old days with Latex and psnup ...)
    -- Mike G.

    My current solution is to print from Preview instead (which will let me use the Adobe print facility, unlike Acrobat itself).
    In fact, I pretty much have no need for Acrobat at the moment.
    Adobe and Apple between them seem to have some real problems with Snow Leopard.  I can't get Dreamweaver to run anymore without immediately crashing (yes I looked through the help forums, deleted settings, etc etc).  So I'm now looking for a replacement tool for Dreamweaver and will likely use that from now on.
    Adobe is not looking very good to me at the moment.  YMMV.

  • Message error: "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File Save."

    I have 2 problems creating a .ps file.
    As i know, there are 2 ways of creating a Postcript file from a PDF.
    The first is from the Print monitor. I go through menu File/Page Setup i give the exact dimensions from my spreaded pages and after that i go to Print and when this window opens,
    i go down and left and i open the pop-up menu on"PDF" and i choose "Save PDF as Postscript"
    There is where i get the above error message :
    "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save."
    And the second scenario, i get an equal problem.
    If i go to Page setup and give the right dimensions of my spreaded document, after that i go to the File/Save as command, there is choose from the bottom pop-up menu, the option at Format: Postscript
    If i do that i get the following message:
    "The document could not be saved. An internal error occured."
    What is wrong with all this?
    Can anyone help me out?

    Is there any way to deploy the Sandbox solution .wsp file to sharepoint 2013 online publishing site using powershell or CSOM or any other way?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to deploy sandboxed solution .wsp file to sharepoint 2013 online.
    "Add-SPSolution" command is not available in SharePoint Online management shell. So, we cannot use PowerShell to update and deploy a solution in SharePoint Online environment. Meanwhile, here is index of Windows PowerShell for SharePoint Online
    cmdlets for your reference:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161364.aspx
    You can CSOM to deploy solution using helper class from CodePlex. The activation code is as follows: SandboxSolutions.ActivateSolution(siteCollectionURl, cookies, "solution_name.wsp");
    About the Client Side Object Model (CSOM), it is a development related issue, we have a specific support channel for the SharePoint developers, so I recommend you go to our MSDN forum for further assistance.
    Here is a similar thread for you to take a look at:
