Saving a pdf to computer hard drive

Someone sent me a pdf file.  I have only an adobe reader and no subscription.  How do I save it to my computer hard drive since when I click on the pdf file, it only allows me to save it to acrobat.com but I need to store it on my computer.

What is your operating system?  How was that file sent to you - via email.  If so, what is your email client?  How do you attempt to save?
Almost all email clients have a feature 'Save Attachments'; have you tried to use that?

    Saving media to a computers hard drive does not slow the computer down.

  • When saving a PDF to the Hard Drive the PDF logo has been replaced with a HTML FireFox Logo where as before it would have a PDF Logo. Is this right?

    It also when opening opened in FireFox not Adobe until i changed it in Windows but the PDF logo has gone and now with the HTML FireFox Logo which now opens in Adobe. Why has the PDF logo been replaced? I hope i make some sense. Thankyou.

    If you set Firefox as the default browser and Firefox detects via a registry scan that there is currently no file handler application that handles PDF files and a few other file types then the Firefox updater/installer registers Firefox as the default application to handle these file types.
    This causes them to show with a Firefox icon on the desktop and in other places like Windows Explorer (Bug 452254).
    You can right-click a PDF file in Windows Explorer and use the open with dialog to change the default application to the Adobe Reader or your preferred application to handle PDF file.
    If the icon doesn't change to the icon of that application then you may have to change the icon on the desktop via other means
    On Windows XP you can check the Windows Control Panel:
    *Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types: .PDFf
    *Registry Editor: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.pdf\ or HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf (Default = empty string)

    How do I transfer all my Firefox saved passwords to my new hard drive and operating system? Going from xp to windows 7. I have the old hard drive hooked up as drive f. Can I copy and paste from old drive directory to new drive directory?

    You need to copy 2 files, key3.db and signons.sqlite, from the old [[profiles|profile folder]] to the profile folder on the new computer.

    Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verifying and repairing it but had no luck. I also tried mounting and unmounting it but still no solution. Anyone to help please?

    Looks bad. I would strongly advise backing up the stuff on the other two partitions as soon as possible in case the rest of the drive goes wrong.
    Beyond that, Disk Utility has limited abilities to repair disks, DiskWarrior uses a different approach and might, emphasis might be more successful. It has certainly done the job for me in the past when Disk Utility could not.

    Hey,
    I am sorry but Acrobat 7 is not at all compatible with Windows 8. For this, you will need to upgrade your Adobe Acrobat version.
    For better understanding, please refer this kb file:
    Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications

    If you have a Mac, it's pretty easy. But you don't (should I make a pitch for you to get a MacBook Pro in the future)?

    Hi Perilman,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that all of your iTunes media is on an external hard drive and you would like to move that media onto your new Windows computer hard drive. The following article has step by step instructions for this specifically. Part 5 in the External drive section is probably what is going to be most relevant to you.

  • I have a macbook pro and time capsule.  Computer hard drive is full and I would like to expand wirelessly.

    I have read many forums that note an external hard drive can be connected to a time capsule, but it sound like that is just a way to expand the time capsule and not the computer hard drive.  The reason I would prefer a wireless option is to keep the laptop portable around the house (we have apple t.v. and home theater system that syncs wirelessly to itunes).  Wireless would allow use of any device even with the hard drive not being hard connected to the laptop.  Are there any options out there or am I just misunderstanding what happens when connecting a hard drive to the time capsule.
    I am not concerned about speed, but would hope any solution would still allow back up to the time capsule.
    Thanks!!

    You cannot expand the computer's hard drive by connecting an external drive to a Time Capsule. All that does is provide separate external storage. It will not expand the size of your computer's drive. To do that you have to buy a larger hard drive for the computer. Or you can buy an external drive then copy files you don't need to the external drive and erase them on your internal drive.
    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion's Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

  • If I add another profile, will that person's content automatically be saved to my Time Machine hard drive or do I need to take further action to ensure that this is saved?

    If I add another profile, will that person's content automatically be saved to my Time Machine hard drive or do I need to take further action to ensure that this content is saved? Thanks for any and all help with this.

    Time Machine creates a back up of the entire Hard Drive, with the exception of Boot Camp or exceptions you have created. So in other words after you create the profile run Time Machine, and a backup of the other user profile will be added to your Time Machine backups.

  • How do I copy existing songs from Computer Hard Drive to IPOD 30GB

    How do I copy existing songs from Computer Hard Drive to IPOD 30GB? I am slightly learning disabled and have been unable to figure out how to add and or update. Thnaks

    If the songs are in iTunes and the iPod is set to sync automatically, the songs should already be on the iPod; if they aren't, follow the instructions in this article and post back with any error messages.
    If the iPod is set to sync manually, drag the songs onto the iPod in the iTunes source list.
