Saving pdf files on my mac that were originally created on a pc deletes all previous input.

Hi, I have a Mac and a PC on my workplace. We frequently use PDF files. So to make work easier i connected them via our network so we could be more efficient. But I have a big problem. When i create .pdf files on my computer and then transfer them to the mac i cant save them on the mac without deleting all the work i did on the computer. This is highly problematic. I have tried a few different thing as to fix it. I have restarted both computers and also insted of  moving the files via the network i transfered them via an USB stick but to no avail.
any help would be tremendously appreciate
Thanks /Didiuz

Hi didiuz,
What version of Acrobat do you have on your Mac and PC? And what version of Windows and Mac OS do you have?
What sort of changes are you making to the PDF on Windows that aren't being saved when you open on the Mac? Can you please walk me through the process that you're using? It sounds like you're able to open the files on the Mac, but lose your work when you save them? Are you working with PDF forms?
So many questions, but I need a bit more information to go on. I look forward to hearing back from you, so we can figure out what's going on!
Best,
Sara

    This information is correct for Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents.
    It's also correct for Outlook if the Outlook Calendars where exported in the ics format.

    Hi..
    Thanks for the reply..
    My original I Phone 5 was running IOS 6.12
    My I phone 5S currently runs IOS 8..When I upgraded it, it had IOS 7 on it which made the I Photo app compatible with everything below IOS 8...( which the photo app is not compatible with ) so I just connected the I Phone 5S to my computer and thinking the new phone had IOS 7 on it that these was nothing to worry about..I thought all 900 + pictures in the photo stream would transfer but somewhere in the process, I Tunes decides to just go and install IOS 8 which requires that you run a " Photo Migration App" to transfer photos from IOS 7 & below. The problem was is that I didn't want IOS 8 on my new 5S so I thought I wouldn't have to do that part..
    Anyway the phone emerged with IOS 8 on it and the only photos that remained were the ones that were actually on the phone..The 900 + I had in the stream didn't transfer because the Photos that works on IOS 7 and below isn't compatible with IOS 8..I guess you have to use the photo migration app that comes with IOS 8 & I phone 6..But I didn't ask to upgrade to IOS 8...It just did it on it's own!
    I still have the I Phone 5 Back up that I did just before giving it back to Verizon but if I try to restore the I Phone 5S running IOS 8 those photos in the stream will not go back on the phone because IOS 8 isn't compatible with the I Photos" that ran on IOS 7 and below..
    So I have an I Pad mini that runs IOS 7..should I try and erase it...and put that I Phone 5 backup on it and pray the photos that were in the stream come back on it so I can transfer them back to my computer...then erase the I pad mini again and restore it using it's original backup that I have on the computer and the in the cloud?
    I know this sounds confusing but I'm at a loss as to what to do..This is what I found ...http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201386
    but it doesn't help me..

  • Where do I input my code for redeeming free copy of Mountain Lion? I have received it (with this secure pdf file) but in Mac App Store see only function "Buy". Where do I input this code to get my free copy?

    Anyone also knows why this update is so ridiculously weird? Snap your bill, send us picture - looks so in contrary to Apple's core principle of simplicity! I'm very disappointed.

    My guess would be to open the AppStore, then in the QuickLinks panel on the right of the first screen you should be able to choose Redeem to redeem a code.

  • How do you delete a saved pdf file in adobe 10

    How do delete a saved pdf file in acrobat reader 10

    I never knew of any difference between deleting a PDF file and deleting any other file.

  • 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

  • Have saved pdf files to creative cloud but ipad cannot see any files

    I have saved pdf files from my Windows desktop to the Creative Cloud. They are visible there when accessed from my desktop. However when logging onto the Creative Cloud on either my iPad or iPhone it says there are "no documents to display".

    I hope you're referring to the iWork program Pages for Macs since that is the forum you posted in. If you want to view Pages documents on your iPad, you'll also need to get Pages for iOS from the iTunes App Store. While you're doing that, also download the free iBooks app. There are other PDF readers, but I use iBooks.
    You can use iTunes to sync documents between your Mac & your iPad. For PDFs you use File > Add to Library & they will appear under "Books." For Pages documents, you can use the File Sharing section of iTunes like in the screenshot below. You can also use iCloud.com to upload from your Mac but you will need to have your iPad connected to the internet to transfer the files from the cloud to the iPad.

  • Saved .pdf files won't open

    On MacBook Air running OSX Mavericks I've saved .pdf files from the Web and from documents I've scanned.  For many .pdf documents I get a dialog box that says, "Contact your computer or network administrator for assistance." 
    That's nice, but I'm the only one here.  These are important documents I’ve saved for a reason.  Any ideas how to get them open?

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    After more poking around I discovered the Sharing & Permissions setting in the Get Info dialog box were set to No Access.  I have no idea how that happened, but next time I save a .pdf I'll find whether the setting is part of the Save As dialog or not.

  • I have paid for Adobe Acrobat XI Pro OCR but it will not recognise a letter in the serial number for me to update my adobe account and any of the programs I have tried using to convert a PDF file on a Mac to a word doc it is converting file with funny sym

    I have been supplied info in an email to copy and paste for a new product purchase "Adobe Acrobat XI Pro OCR" but am unsure how and where to copy and paste to. There is also a link below the serial number. I have tried entering serial number into my Adobe ID but it is not recognising one of the letters in the 24 Digit serial number??? Also I have tried other products previously downloaded to convert a 7 page PDF file on my Mac and convert it to a Word doc but everything I have tried is converting the file to display some text correctly but also displays random symbols and fonts in place of the handwritten info filled in on the form... also getting blank pages included instead of the info??? Would appreciate some help... I am older generation and not always tech savvy, and it is doing my head in haha.

    Hi Jock,
    I've checked your account, and all is well there. Please make sure that you're logging in with the same Adobe ID/password that you used when you signed up.
    Then, clear the browser cache, and try logging in directly to https://cloud.acrobat.com.
    Please let us know how it goes.

    How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad, How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad

    Yes you can definitely do this. You'll need an app on the iPad that handles PDF viewing and editing. There are many around - two of the best I've seen are GoodReader and PDF Expert.
    In iTunes when you iPad is connected to your PC, go to the Apps tab and scroll down and you'll see the File Sharing section. You can drag files to there to share them to your iPad.
    You could also look at online file sync services like PDF to ePub Maker if you prefer not to have to connect your iPad to a PC

  • Thin lines in pdf file displayed on mac

    Hi,
    I don't know if this is the right place to bring this up.  So redirection elsewhere is appreciated!
    I've noticed a problem with displaying certain pdf files on a mac.  The files are 2D filled plots produced by the free scientific software Yorick (http://yorick.sourceforge.net/).  It happens when I view it in Preview or Powerpoint on a mac.  But not if I use a pdf viewer on a unix system.  The yorick source code for a simple example is below.  I can't find a way to attach files to this messages or I'd include the pdf's.  Is there a way to do this?
    Both png's are fine, and the pdf of the pli plot is fine.  pli assumes uniform grid spacing, is fast, and must use different graphics primitives than plf, which does not assume uniform grids (i.e. you can have non-square elements).  In this case both x and y grids really are uniform.  The problem is with the pdf of the plf plot.  Look at it in Preview, you should see some thin lines.  Put it in powerpoint and the same.  If you put some solid colored box in back of it, you'll see the color.  So the lines are transparent or something.
    David Munro, the creator of Yorick, suggests it's an issue with anti-aliasing.
    Anyway, the problem isn't that severe in this example, but in others (which don't have simple source code) it's more annoying. 
    Either way, any advice on this, or the right people to report this to, is appreciated.
    Cheers,
    David

    As I suspected, the problem is that the other viewers are not savvy enough to handle the "stitching problem".
    What looks like a single image is really a WHOLE LOT of single squares.  I took a snapshot of the Edit Object tool in Acrobat with all the objects selected.  See <https://photos-3.dropbox.com/i/o/R6asqv64sEP1Tf7eIEBfNbFbMw0F7qKEaFwfnXQVKLo/1644474/12950 96400/0fa9181>.
    As you can see from that, each square is a separate image that needs to be rendered and if the viewer doesn't understand how to proper stitch the pieces together then you will get empty pixels (which appears as white lines).
    Either contact the author of the program that authored the document and see about getting that fixed (if it's not you) and/or contact the other viewers about improving their products.

    I cannot open any pdf files on my mac book air.  I used to be able to open them.  It was suggested that I get OS Mountain Lion and I did.  still can't.  Any ideas? 

    You can download Adobe Reader from adobe.com.  The Mac OSX uses its "reader" to open PDF files without the Adobe Reader.  If you downloader adobe reader, it should open all PDF files.  Hope this helps.
