Saving In Preview

I am unable to Save or Save As any of the information I type into a form in "Preview". Once I have filled out the form and saved it, when I reopen it the new information is missing in the saved document. Why is this happening? I never had this problem with older Previews.

I experienced the same problem. The only way I could save a filled out form was to "Save as PDF" from the Print dialog box.

  • Horizontal Lines in saved AVI preview file

    Hi all,
    On another thread I was asking why I was getting an error message when trying to export and save a movie, but now I was able to get a temp AVI file after hitting enter and saving a preview file, but this AVI preview file, which is normally of the same quality of the full saved file I think, has horizontal lines in it that are very obvious compared to the original file... below are the sample still screenshots to compare...
                                                    Clean original 720x480 30 fps AVI file
                   Horizontal lines showing in this Premiere 720x480 30 fps AVI preview file
    I have a file imported in to the timeline and it is set to play in  reverse via the speed setting being set to -100 and it plays back in the  preview window correctly, in reverse, when I click the play button.
    But when I do a  "File>Export Timeline>Movie" command I get an error message saying "An error occurred while making the movie. Error writing file (disk full?)"...  but my hard drive is not nearly full, with over 30 gigs left open on  it... and my RAM usage gadget shows over half of my RAM capacity is  unused.
    But I got a temp preview file that was generated after hitting enter to play the preview after I wasn't able to save, and that's how I got this file... and I think the temp files are normally just as sharp as the final saved files because they take just as long to generate when previewing by hitting enter as they do when doing and export and save.
    Also, this process saved an 8.5 gigabyte AVI file from a 1.5 megabyte AVI file using the CamStudio codec.
    Another try using the MSU lossless codec produced a 3.5 gigabyte AVI file that looked better, but wouldn't play any faster than about one frame per second after an hour and a half of saving time.
    Does anyone have any solutions?... also I see that the new file from Premiere shows a larger screen size, though it was saved at the same 720x480 size as the original was.
    Thanks,
    numetro

    Yes, that's what I started with, but it wouldn't render a working file  of reversed video for anything over 2 minutes or so... so that's when I  started trying everything else in the world... including these ridiculous attempts and resulting problems with Premiere trying to handle the complex task of saving a video file correctly.
    If Apple can make a simple "REVERSE" button in its user friendly iMovie app, why can't anyone else?
    Originally there was Xander's Video Time Reversal, that worked for me  before and still works for some files, but just won't work on other  slightly longer files and produces blank or unusable files 75 percent of  the time, and Xander's French forum admin committee was asleep at the  wheel while I waited for approval to ask a question.
    Then there was "Rehan's" method of using two different apps (VirtualDub and Avisynth) and writing AVS script files in notepad... compared to this, it may be easier to have the desired video clip re-enacted in reverse with professional actors and a special effects team than it would be to use Rehan's method.
    Then there is Stupeflix.com, which seems to be all the name implies since they were bragging about a webpage with an upload button to upload a clip to, and then a download button to get the reversed clip from... but the link for this magic page is nowhere to be found in the conversation on the blog site that was talking about it, and Stupeflix.com itself currently shows no feature of the kind.
    Then finally at the long awaited end of this of my odyssey, after Premiere and before going back to XVTR, there was "K-5 Video Reversal Tool" and after reading the description about the needed codec pack and deciphering which download button is actually for the Video Reversal Tool and not one of those trick "Download Here" buttons that takes me to a virus laden site in Siberia, I did find a download link for it that is from Cnet.com... but then that app didn't work at all, even for very short, uncompressed AVI files, which it was supposed to handle with no problem... but it would flash a command prompt screen for a quarter second, then give a message stating that it produced the reversed file... which of course, it did not.  And the guy that coded this gem has a chat thing on his K-5 website that he keeps responding to my original question about and he just can't admit that the app doesn't work.
    I feel like... I've wasted a day and a half... now two days after writing so much.
    Thanks,

  • Error in SmartForm to PDF while Saving with Preview option.

    Hi,
    I have created a report to convert Smartform to PDF.
    I want the user to Preview data, if user is interested, then they can save the file.
    When user clicks the Back button in SmartForm Print Preview, user can select the path of PDF file to save the data.
    My code works fine, if Preview is disabled.
    In the sub-routine createpdffile, I am getting error while creating PDF file.
    The program works fine, if I disable the preview option i.e. if I uncomment
    cparam-getotf = 'X'.
    How can I have the both options in my report?
    1)     Preview SmartForm.
    2)     Save the SmartForm as PDF.

  • PDF saving in Preview with IRS forms ruins PDF

    I am trying to save my tax form after filling it out in preview and when you "save as" the entire pdf shifts to the top right margin cutting off the edge. It prints correct and if you print - save as pdf it is also correct. However, print -save as pdf destroys the editable fields.
    Tax form 1040
    www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf
    Thanks for the help,
    J
    macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Phew, I'm glad to find out that it isn't my Preview. I am trying to do the exact thing, and got the same issue. But I'm glad to hear that it prints correctly at least, although I haven't tried it myself. It's VERY annoying why the pdf shifts like that.
    Regarding why the editable fields are destroyed, I'm almost certain that it's just how Preview is. I'm quote-ing the help from Preview Help. Topic is "Filling out PDF forms."
    "... However, after you save the document, you can no longer edit any of its fields. Before filling out a form, you may want to create a copy of it, so you can go back to the original. And before saving the form, be sure it's filled out completely and correctly. ..."

  • Filling out PDF forms & Saving with Preview

    I've been having some frustrations with PDFs & Preview.
    1.) Recently I had to fill out the IRS W9 form.  With Preview I filled it out, added my signature and saved it.  Again when I sent it to someone else, they could only see my signature and not any of the stuff I filled out.  On my end, I could see everything.
    2.) Also recently a colleague sent me a PDF form, which he filled out and saved with Adobe Pro. He needed my signature, which I added using the new signature feature of Preview.  Saved it and sent it back to him.  When he opened it on his end, all of the information he had filled out had disappeard, and only my signature remained.  If I opened the same file on my end, I could see everything. 
    So, the new signature feature is great, but what good is it if I can't sign a PDF document and send it back to someone without it making everything else filled out on the document invisible to them?  Yes, I can do Print ==> Save as PDF as a work-around, but that still doesn't answer the question.

  • Size of PDF grows after saving in Preview

    Greetings,
    At my work we have a photocopier that also has a scanning feature that emails the scanned document to me as a PDF.
    I frequently have to make minor edits to the PDFs in Preview--like flip them 180 degrees, delete blank pages, etc.
    I've noticed that most of these documents are 2.2 to 2.3MB in size when I first receive them. After I edit and save them in Preview, they jump up to 3.6 to 3.8MB. Why are they growing when, if anything, they should stay the same or decrease in size???
    TIA.

    I'm not sure what exactly is going on, but many apps avoid re-writing the whole file by appending your changes and leaving it at that, if the file format supports it. So instead of saving a new PDF with pages removed, for instance, it is possible (again I'm not sure) that what Preview is doing is marking the pages deleted but not actually deleting them. So instead of "document - pages = smaller file" you may be getting "document + instructions to ignore pages that are not really deleted = larger file."
    Are you simply doing a Save after your edits? If so, try doing a Save As to a new name. In many apps, this will write out a whole new file that's smaller because all unneeded data is finally thrown out.
    Another example of this is Microsoft Word's "Allow Fast Saves" feature; if it is on, changes (even deletions) are appended as additional instructions that only make the file grow. To set everything straight you would have to Save As a new name.
    It is also possible that Preview is using different, less compact PDF compression than the app that saved it before.
    If your office has a Mac copy of Acrobat Pro, it might be worth seeing if it saves smaller PDF files since it does not handle files exactly the same way Preview does.

  • TS3991 where are documents saved in preview?

    Where are PDF documents saved to icloud in Preview? Either on icloud.com or on any ios Device?  Honestly, where do they go?

    This is configurable... We can store the documents at file level other wise inside Database also.

  • In/Out not saving in preview clips

    I can't get the IN/OUT trim points to save on preview clips, am I doing something wrong:
    1) In "Organise" mode
    2) Double click the clip - preview window is displayed.
    3) Drag in/out markers to right place
    4) Click the "X" top right to close it
    5) Re-open the clip, in/out not saved
    6) Drag to timeline, in/out not saved
    What am I missing here?
    These are quicktimes from Canon 5D MK II if that makes any difference.
    - Simon

    You're trying to trim in Organize mode.
    Instead, click on Project to open the media panel. Double-click your clip in the Project media panel and set your in and out points in the Clip Monitor. They should stick.

  • CS5 confusion about saving and previews

    I'm adjusting to the recent upgrade to CS5 but have reached a hiccup. I'm on a Mac Pro (2010) with OS 10.6.4. Previously, when I've saved a file (whether it was a jpg, tiff, eps, png., psd...), a preview was created. If I double-clicked on it to open it, even if Photoshop wasn't opened, the document would open up in the native Photoshop software. Now, after saving a tif, jpg. or eps., upon double-clicking, the document opens up in the generic Macintoch preview window and will not initiate the Photoshop software. I checked my preferences for document handling and the "Always Save" in: Icon and Windows Thumbnail are checked. There is no longer a save in Macintosh Thumbnail, as in previous software versions. I hope this explains my full dilemma and that a member will see the discrepancy to help me out. Is there something I need to change that I can't recognize?
    Thanks,
    Al

    I'm a bit confused by your explanation, is the problem that when you save the file it doesn't have a thumbnail? If so, are you running Photoshop 12.0.1? There was a fix on the 12.0.1 update to fix this.
    If the problem is that when you double click on a file it doesn't open in Photoshop, then you just need to change a preference in Finder. Select the file you want (say, a .tif) and go to File>Get Info (or Command+I). On the "Open With:" option, choose Photoshop CS5 from the drop down menu. After that, click on the "Change all" button below it. You'll need to do that to all the extensions you want (.jpg, etc)
    Hope this helps!

  • Iphoto not accepting jpeg images saved using Preview "save as"

    I have a number of tiff images on my desktop. Am trying to save them as jpeg images directly into iPhoto using the Preview "save as" function. When I do this, I can find no image in iPhoto. When I "save as" jpeg to my desktop, the jpeg image appears there and I can drag to iPhoto, but this is laborious compared with saving directly. Can anyone help me with this?

    TD, thanks for commenting on this, and I think I see your point--I used the wrong term when I wrote "import". However, in Preview there is what I see to be a "save as jpeg to iPhoto" option. Why is this available if it does not work? Or to take it from another angle--what can you do with this option? In the end, I guess my basic question is: Is there a more direct way to get tiff images into iPhoto from the desktop than saving them first to the desktop as jpeg? Apologies for piling question on question.

  • Color signatures not saved in Preview

    Hi all
    When I paste a signature into Preview (using the inbuilt Preview signature annotation) with a colored ink, it is fine on the screen, and also if printed to paper or pdf; but if the file is simply saved, upon reopening, the signature has changed to black, although other color in the document remains.
    Anyone else found this and why it does it?
    Thanks, Paul

    What happens when you try to create a signature?

  • Illustrator saving issues: Previewing off Artboard

    This is a somewhat complicated issue to explain so I've attached some images.
    The basic gist of my issue is that when I "Save" an alteration of an already existing document, the document will preview things that exist off the artboard, and not even my full artboard. This is happening with increasing frequency and I can't figure out the root of this issue. The first picture I have attached to this post is how the file previews in Illustrator; the second is a screencap from the file open in Illustrator, where you can see the artboard in the center, and the art to the left that is being previewed (I have outlined the artboard in pink). The portion of the document that is being saved in the preview is not consistent either, so sometimes I will get no portion of the artboard visible in the preview. The interesting detail is that if I "Save As" my file, and over right the existing file it saves uncorrupted.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue and have a possible solution?

    whiteryanc, there has been a few othe post concerning this issue on the adobe forums with no real answer to why this is happening.  The issue you have is an issue we have also.  It all started once we updated illustrtor to CS6.  We even went a step further and updated to illustrator CC to see if that would fix the issue.  This did not fix it.  There is a work around though.  Instead of just saving the file after altering the file do a save as and replace the file.  This seems to be working on my end.

  • PreE V8: In/Out Clip Set Points Not Saved in Preview Screen

    After I set set in/out points in the Preview area on a clip then click on the X to close it, when I reopen the clip or when I drag the clip to the timeline/sceneline the set points are gone. I have to first drag the clip to the timeline then trim it. But then the trim points are not kept with the clip for reuse if I drag the clip a second time to the timeline.
    How can I get the set in/out points to be saved with the clip when I set them in the Preview panel?

    I am using a Canon HF20 and imported the video files into an a Photoshop album using the Elements 8 Organizer like I always do.
    I can clip in the timline with no problem. Just not in the Preview window and have it save the in/out points.

  • Artboards: saving & file preview issues

    i have started working with artboards and noticed that saving is much slower (illustrator cc). also, previewing a document gives multiple pages of the full document (all artboards, or total work area(, instead of multiple pages with each artboard show individually. this occurs in finder and bridge.
    any fixes, suggestions, work arounds?

  • Illustrator CS5: Random Crashes When Saving Or Previewing My Work

    Hello Adobe Community,
    I tend to get errors when I save my work in Illustrator. A few read as follows:
    "Unknown Error"
    "Can't Save Illustration"
    "Not Enough Ram Available"
    The last error I got read: "Can't finish previewing. There is not enough memory ID = -108"
    These errors don't happen all the time, but they occur often. And when they do occur, more often than not end up crashing Illustrator and can't save whatever I just worked on.
    Not sure what's causing them. Here's what I've tried doing:
    Cleared my Illustrator preferences
    Uninstall the whole Aodbe Suite > Run the Adobe Remover Tool > Reinstall Adobe Suite
    Run disk clean up/defragmenter
    I get some of these errors even when I only have Illustrator and my browser open - no other programs are running except for anti-virus/malware software.
    Here's some trivial information about my machine and the file I'm working on:
    RAM: 4GB
    The file I'm trying to edit is 0.97MB and stored locally on my desktop (as opposed to a network drive)
    Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 8400GS (up-to-date)
    Hard drive has 231GB of free space
    64-bit processor
    Runs DirectX 11
    I'm in the process of validating my fonts as I've read that invalid fonts sometimes cause issues.
    Any other suggestions? Please help me! Thanks in advance!

    Have you considered that this could be something you do in the files thmeselves? Gradient meshes, blends, filters all can consume lots of memory and when AI is trying to save the Preview, their combined requirements may exceed what your system can handle. also your file may simply be "bad" in that it may have corrupted data somewhere. This can happen when it was originally created elsewhere or data inserted from an external source using placing or copy&paste....
