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

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.

How can I turn document saved in Acrobat PDF back into multipage AI PDF document.

I accidentally saved my multipage AI PDF document in acrobat.
Now i can't open it in AI as it original multipage AI PDF document.
How can I access tye document in it original multipage AI PDF document format?

You are welcome, groupie.
Crossposting, I was writing an edit, as follows.
It is always safest to save (copies of) versions underway, and to make copies away from your work folder (and preferably also the harddisk/computer) regularly, preferably at least once a day. To choose what suits you best, you may think of whichever mishaps may occur, including unfortunate file operations, sudden loss of power, (any kind of) breakdown of harddisk(s), and (some of us are silly enough to consider) serious external events.

Saving changes to PDFs in Preview

So I make annotations to and highlight PDFs using Preview, and it works to my liking. The only issue that I've been encountering is that when I save, it always asks that I save as, instead of just save. Is there a way that I can circumvent this?

I have this same situation. Some PDFs allow me to save with edits; some do not at all -- if I do command+S, the 'save as' comes up and there is no way to keep edits. Someone posted people should get the trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro to get around this, but when I checked Adobe, the trial version is ONLY avail for Windows. So, no use there. It's so annoying.

Day Light Saving Changes for Europe

Hi,
We are using SQL Azure databases in North Europe location.
When trying to use GETDATE() function, it is not considering the day light saving changes and brings back the time less by an hour.
Is that something that we need to or can do on the server or database
Having issues in saved records even for auditing purposes.
Any help will be highly appreciated
Many thanks

When trying to use GETDATE() function, it is not considering the day light saving changes
Hello Deepu,
All SQL Azure server in all Azure locations (America, Europe, Asia, etc) returns for GETDATE always the same value: The current UTC date time. No time zone offset, no daylight saving, always UTC only. You can simply check it with this query:
select GETDATE(), GETUTCDATE()

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:

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.

How do I get a refund? I have tried to use this converter to change a PDF to a word document or excel document three of four times and it always fails.. I want my money back but don't see any way to communicate with Adobe.

How do I get a refund? I have tried to use this converter to change a PDF to a word document or excel document three of four times and it always fails.. I want my money back but don't see any way to communicate with Adobe. i really just want my money back. Very disappointed. Also disappointed that it is so hard to find a way to communicate with Adobe that I have to resort to asking this question in this forum.

You need to use the CHAT link in support to reach Adobe staff. Be sure you know the product name you are trying to cancel, Adobe have lots of products, several converters etc. I think it is ExportPDF you have, most likely.

A PDF is really an electronic print of your document & is not intended for future editing. You should always save a copy of the original document in the program that created it & use that for edits. You can then export or print the revised document to PDF, again saving the original.

File created with Document Content Type will not be saved back to Sharepoint library

Recently some of our users, after upgrading to Windows 8.1 with Office 2013, intermittantly are not able to save files created using document content types template back to sharepoint library. Instead the location is set
to their local storage. The same templates used by Windows 7 users with Office 2010 are working fine. Setting the SP sites as Trusted location in IE and Clearing IE Cache did not help. Adding the SP site in Word Trusted Location did
not help. Any suggestions how this can be resolved is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not save office file back to the SharePoint Document library.
It may have to something with your Word Settings. When you click new and it opens in MS Word, word treats it as unsafe because perhaps it is not saved. To make it work:
Go to Word (2013) -> File Menu -> Options -> Trust Center -> Trust Center Settings
-> Protected View Tab -> Uncheck "Enable Protected View for files located in potentially unsafe locations" (2nd option)
Here is the similar post, you can take a look at:
http://blogs.interfacett.com/word-2010-not-saving-back-to-sharepoint-2010-by-default
If the issue persist, you can also check the event log and ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
To check event log, click the Start button and type “Event Viewer” in the Search box.
For SharePoint 2010, by default, ULS log is at:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS

Might be corrupted preferences ..
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.desktop.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac and try changing the desktop photo.

Saving a fillable PDF so that others cannot edit it

Hi,
I'm relatively new to using Adobe Acrobat pro, However i recently made a fillable PDF that i need to be able to fill out, then send to clients who can view it, print it but not edit it. Please can anyone advise me how to save the PDF once it has been filled in so others can see the information, but not change anything.
I use Mac if this makes a difference.
Many Thanks
Tom

In Acrobat X, first use Save A Copy on the file menu to remove the Reader extensions*, then you can flatten the form using a script or extension (e.g. I've got a free one here) - alternatively you run Tools > Protection > Remove Hidden Information and tick only the form fields box.
*You will need to manually open the copy you saved, it doesn't automatically update in Acrobat.
If you're not bothered about accessibility, you can also print the PDF back to PDF - a process we call refrying - which will flatten everything and remove scripts, metadata, calculations and hidden content (but in the process removes all your tags and structure).

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.

Hi Melbus_SE,
Are you downloading files from your Acrobat.com cloud storage? If so, what browser are you using, and are you on Mac OS or Windows? Has something changed on your system since you were able to download/open PDF files successfully? What version of Acrobat or Reader are you using to open these files?
Sorry to ask so many questions, but your answers will help us get to the bottom of this issue.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara
