Saving PDF File that allows..

I have created a few PDF files. When I open them in Adobe Reader to write in the text boxes I created it will not allow me to save what is written on the form.
How can I change it to where what I write is able to be saved so I can go back and finish up at a later time?
Thanks.

I would guess the Acrobat Reader says it all, the program is a reading program.
If you Acrobat Professional Version 8 Pro or Extended or Version 9 Standard, Pro, or Extended, then you could apply Extended Reader Rights to the PDF form for a form to be used by no more than 500 users. Above that level, you would need Live Cycle ES server.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Editable pdf file that can be saved

    Working with Acrobat X. I have created an editable PDF file that i sent to my customer. They enter their information and all is good, BUT they can't save the file only print.
    Is there something else I need to do to make this possible?
    Traci

    Whenever I see "customer" in a question like this I try to remind folks of the limitation of the license for 500 uses. Not requiring the extra step is an option for Reader XI as mentioned. The other way is to have any data submitted as a data file (FDF) rather than the whole form. When you import the data file into the form you get the same result. The customer can just print the form for their records.

  • How to get PDF file that has been transformed into docx into my filing system so I can work on it???

    How can I get the PDF file that was transformed into a docx file into my filing system to be able to work on it and translate it as the customer requested?

    THanks for your reply.
    Well what happens is I bought the program. It gives you a button to click,
    you log in and then a box opens up asking you to select the file, I go into
    my filing system (in Windows explorer) select the file, and the program
    converts it into docx, my choice.  I can read it there and when I try to
    copy and paste it into my file where the PDF version is saved, it behaves
    like an "image", and I can't save it.... or it saves likes something you
    save on the internet, so you have to go into internet every time you want
    to see it.    I have also pressed any amount of buttons to see if it will
    give me the option to save it any other way, and have found nothing.  What
    I would need is a file in docx.format that I can edit.  People send me
    things in PDF and sometimes I can just copy it off the PDF file and save it
    in WOrd, then I can translate it for them. But sometimes the PDF file
    doesnt allow me to copy the text.  If it is in image form, I cannot work on
    it.  It means printing it, so I can copy type it into Word... and for that
    I certainly wouldnt need to buy a program.  Its just double the work and
    ends up that the job takes twice as long.!
    Sorry  if I am a bit dumb with informatics.  But I simply could not find
    any way whatever to  copy the PDF file that was transformed into Word, in a
    format that would enable me to edit it.
    Kindest regards,
    Margery

  • How can I remove a signature on a PDF file that I created using Preview on iMac computer??

    How can I remove a signature on a PDF file that I created using Preview on iMac computer??  I inadvertently hit the icon on the Preview tool bar with an xS and a line through it.  There is my signature in the middle of the PDF file I was editing.  How do I get rid of it?  Cannot select it.  Cannot find any tools that allow me to delete it.  The Preview documentation tells how to create and apply a signature, but not how to remove it.  I think when a signature is added the doucment becomes locked from any editing.

    Hey needadobehelp10,
    Using Adobe Acrobat/Reader, you can simply change your PDF view settings under "View > Page Display > Single Page View"
    Is this really you wish for?
    Please let me know.

  • I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 on Windows XP, SP3

    I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 All-in-One.
    I have an (obsolete) Windows XP, SP3 computer.  Obviously, no updates from Microsoft
    have occurred that might have impacted my Canon Pixma MX479.
    When I attempt to send 1 or more pages from a PDF file to the printer, I don't even get the
    Canon PIXMA popup that would allow me to cancel the print job.
    Yet the Print Queue icon appears in the lower right corner of my monitor.
    If I view the Print Queue, the print queue shows "spooling" and does nothing more.
    If I attempt to CANCEL the print job in the Print Queue, it simply changes to "deleting -
    spooling".
    I cannot cancel the print job that shows NOT RESPONDING via Task Manager, either.
    In fact, the only way the Print Queue icon disappears is if I totally reboot my computer!
    "Luckily", I can still print e-mails, Word documents, and even my downloaded PDF of my
    bank statement.
    So, I was thinking that it was *only* PIXMA'S OWN SCANNED PDFS that could not be
    printed ON THE SAME PIXMA 479.
    However, I have since realized that I also cannot print USPS Signature Proof of Delivery
    PDFs that I received from USPS via e-mail.
    So why can I print *some* PDF files, but not *all* PDF files, like I previously could do?
    THESE SCANS ARE OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS, SO I WILL LIKELY HAVE TO E-MAIL
    THE REQUISITE, PREVIOUSLY SCANNED PDFS TO FEDEX TO PAY FOR *THEM*
    TO PRINT THEM.
    NOTE: I *have* tried turning the PIXMA off, unplugging it, rebooting the computer, plugging
    the PIXM in and restarting the PIXMA - still no ability to print PIXMA-scanned PDFs.
    And, I find it very strange that e-mails, Word documents, and some other PDFs print with
    no problem "around" "NOT RESPONDING" PIXMA print jobs.
    I have owned Canon printers for years, including the MX420, and the MX340.

    There may be some security issues related to the USPS PDFs.

    I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
    I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

  • Custom "Save as PDF" directly to a destination folder overwrites previously saved PDF files

    Custom "Save as PDF" directly to a destination folder overwrites previously saved PDF files
    As many of you will know, within Mac OSX it is possible to "print" any document off as a PDF.  You simply prepare your document then invoke the "Print" command and in the resulting print dialog box, click the "PDF" button in the bottom left corner which spills out a menu with various options including "Save as PDF..." as shown in the image below:
    Selecting the last option "Edit Menu" permits users to add specific folders to which a PDF of the document will be saved.  As you will note from the image above, I have created a number of destinations such as "Bank Transfers" (for anything on screen in Safari I wish to preserve when using my on-line banking facility); "Bind" (which I use with an Automator workflow to consolidate many PDFs into one long document); "Officeworks" (for stuff I need to copy to a USB stick and have printed on on large plotters); "iPad" (for anything I need to put on my iPad through "iAnnotate" or "Documents") etc
    The problem I have discovered is that with the introduction of Mountain Lion, PDFs that get saved directly to a destination folder get overwritten by later versions of PDFs that are produced from the same document.  This is fine when working on a single document that you may want to have the latest print of a document but not so when you produce many different PDFs from the same browser window in Safari as you surf through a number of websites etc.
    Prior to Mountain Lion, pervious versions were never over-written but rather preserved them with new versions having version number suffixes added e.g., untitled.pdf, followed by untitled1.pdf, untitled2.pdf, untitled3.pdf etc.
    Does anyone else have this problem?
    Does anyone have a solution to this problem? (other than a workaround like switching to Finder to rename or move files around)

    The "Save to Web Receipts" bug existed for a long time - here's a MacOSXHints article offering a workaround in 2007.  Here's another reference to it in 2009.  Your contention that:
    Prior to Mountain Lion, pervious [sic] versions were never over-written.
    is, I'm afraid, wrong.
    Apple fixed (worked around) that bug by using a .pdfworkflow, as I indicated.  As I also indicated, this file can't be opened with Automator (or I just don't know how, which is no great surprise ).  But it's the answer to your problems.
    You can either wait for Apple to fix what is, admittedly, a huge bug in their PDF Services feature, or you can find a way of implementing the same fix they did for your own folders.
    I should be doing the same, as I use PDF Services regularly, but I'm too lazy and have had too little success with Automator in general to give it a shot.  You may have more success than I did.
    Good luck

  • Overwriting a PDF file that is open on another computer

    Hi!
    Instead of a intranet, we decided to post a PDF file via network mapping to keep the staff updated on the latest news.
    We use a mapped network folder as source for the documents, and one document with links so the staff can navigate to relevant information. The staff opens the PDF-file in IE.
    The problem we have is that whenever someone in the staff has opened the document in IE we are unable to edit the PDF in Word and overwrite the PDF-file that are availible to the staff.
    Is there any way that we can make the file overwritable when someone has opened it, and the person that is reading the file can simple refresh and get the updated information?
    This document will be edited by several departement managers, so it's impossible for us to use other editing tools than Office  (which they are already used to).
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm not an expert on editing files that are opened by another application, but I am not sure it _can_ be done the way you currently have it set up.  At least as far as IE is concerned.  (And I hate IE, too.. never did like it.)
    IMHO, the file should be stored in a database; that way, no matter how many people are accessing it, you can make changes and save them to the binary stored in a BLOB/CLOB datatype.  And if you (exclusive) lock the record as it's being saved, whomever is trying to access it will be "paused" until the save is complete and they will then retrieve the latest update without any corruption of data, or other 'hiccup'.
    If a database is not an option, I'm not sure what to do.  If it were an intranet, it might be different.  But a network share isn't the best solution.  It might be cost-saving or easier to maintain; but there's a saying - You can have it cheap, fast, or good; pick two.

  • Link to a pdf file that requires a login

    I am trying to figure out a way to create a link to a pdf file that requires login/password, but masks it so that the user is not aware that they logged in using credentials.
    Essentially, I am trying to provide links to Monroney labels, which are only available through a dealer login network. If I were to provide the link specifically to that pdf, it should not allow them to access to the dealer network but only that pdf. At least in theory that is where my head is.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Sounds very complicated.  I don't see how you can have it both ways.  In other words, how can you give access to a password protected network without giving access to the network?  You can't.
    I think you would need to put the PDF on your own server and put that file inside a password protected folder -- assuming you want them to log-in to get it.

  • HT5678 I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari. I don't have this problem with firefox

    I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari.  I don't have this problem with firefox.

    do they save ok if Safari - Preferences - Security - Allow all other plug-ins is unchecked ?
    If so, likely an adobe or other pdf plugin
    Re-check the setting above & quit any browsers,
    Look in this folder by triple-clicking the line below, then ctrl-clicking it & choosing Services - Open
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    remove anything with pdf in the filename & test again
    Sometimes, plug-ins can be in the User Library folder :
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/

  • How to find PDF files that have other documents bundeled within them?

    Hello guys
    I need help with the following: we have a huge number of PDF files that have other documents imbedded (bundled, attached) in them. If such a document is open in Acrobat, bundled files show up as attachments on the left. Some of those attachements are .mdi files. This is Microsoft Document Images files. Is there a way to flag PDF's that have those .mdi files in them? I need to find them and convert to PDF. If I need to be more descriptive please ask, and thank you in advance for help.

    Preflight is a complex plugin, it's hard to explain how to use it in one forum post. You need to read the documentation carefully.
    There's no pre-built profile for what you want, so you would first create a new Custom Check that compares the MIME type string of embedded files to what you're searching for (not the file extension but the full MIME identifier, which for Office files is a very long string). You would then place that new Custom Check into a new Profile, identifying it as an error condition. Once you've saved the Profile you can run it against a number of files and specify actions to be taken for pass and fail conditions, such as changing the filename or moving to a subfolder.

  • PDF files that turn into 08 files

    Hi Guys,
    I am a l2 remote desktop support analyst and had a user who was saving pdf files using adobe reader 6.
    When the user saved the files and went back into them he noticed that they were saving as a 08 file and could no longer open them in Adobe 6.
    My question is, is there any way to open these files again and also what causes this issue?
    Thanks
