Saving PDF on computer to read offline on iPhone

Is there a way to save a PDF on my computer so that I can read it offline on my iPhone? Often I am someplace with no phone or wifi service, and I want to be able to read PDFs that I have saved. Dropbox requires a connection to either cell or wifi. Ideas?

Thank you for your quick reply. When I am home, I have wifi and also a cable, so getting the pdf to the phone isn't the issue. It's seeing the pdf when the phone is, say, in Airplane Mode or otherwise without cell or wifi.
I have saved pdfs to iBooks, but they don't seem to show up on the phone. And the ones that are on the phone don't seem to show up in iBooks on my Mac. I have all the sync settings on, but can't make the two talk to each other.
Ideas?
You're a pal to engage on this.

Apps downloaded with iTunes on your computer can be installed on your iPhone via the iTunes sync process as with any other iTunes content in your iTunes library on your computer. This is selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

Saving pdf form with extended Reader rights

Hello,
I want to save form changes without further confirmations in Reader version X ("Save" and not "Save as...").
- If you use a pdf form with enabled Reader rights, you should be able to save any changes made in form field by using the Reader.
- To save changes use "File / Safe" or press CRTL+S
Result:
- Save-as window will appear
- After choosing save button you will be asked to overwrite existing file.
Expected results:
File should be saved without further confirmations! In Reader version 9 there was no problem with that.
Does anybody had the same problem and found a solution?
Regards,
Christian

OK, it seems to be a typical "it's-not-a-bug-it's-a-feature"-problem. But I found no way to avoid the overwrite question during saving. I noticed that the question appears only the first time when you click on the save button. If you do further changes in form fiels and click a second time on the save button the document will be overwritten without additional warnings. Maybe it's a feature to prevent users from overwriting empty forms by asking for a new filename and so on..
However, we are using the reader in conjunction with a document management software and the overwrite warning disturbs our enterprise workflow. So the only insufficient solution for my problem is to downgrade all users to version 9 again.
Hope next version of reader will be better in disabling unwanted features ;-)
Regards, Christian

Saved pdf forms empty in Reader, filled in Preview

Today I was informed that pdf forms I've filled and saved/emailed with Preview are empty when viewed with Reader 9 (Win or Mac). If the recipient sends the form back to me, Preview shows the form just as I've filled it. Reader 9 on my MBP also shows the form empty, emailed or not.
Seems to me, that Snow Leopards Preview has some bugs. I hope these are redemied in 10.6.2.

HI,
Try deleting this file.
com.apple.Preview.plist
~/Library/Preferences.
Move that file to the Trash and restart your Mac.
If that did't help, try deleting this file as well.

Saving PDF forms in Adobe Reader 8 and below

Hi everyone,
I've created a PDF form for a survey using Acrobat XI Pro, and I've also Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in and save). I've tried it on Reader 9, X and XI, and I'm able to fill out the form, save it and email it back to myself. I've also emailed it to a few of my friends to try out the form and email it back to me, and most of them are able to do so.
But the problem is one of my friends who's using Reader 8 is unable to save the completed form. This message comes out when he tries to save it:
"This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
I've tried reading about this problem online, but I can't seem to find a satisfactory answer anywhere. I'm not sure if anyone knows of a way to overcome this, or if it's just simply that Adobe Reader 8 and below are unable to save a PDF form.
Please help, I'm really at my wit's end.

Windows Vista.
I'm trying to make sure my form works for every one of my respondents, as I can't be sure what kind of Reader versions each respondent will be using.

Problems saving a file in Adobe Reader 11 after highlighting

Hi,
Has anyone come across a problem where Adobe Reader 11 seems to have problems in saving certain files after highlighting some text?
One of our processes involves checking information and to do this we open up a saved PDF file in Adobe Reader 11 and highlight the relevant text to confirm the amounts have been checked, and then save the file.
This is all done in Adobe Reader - not the full version and not using any external helpers etc, and running under Windows 8 64 bit.
However one of our users is having problems with certain PDF files where, when she goes to save the file after highlighting, it comes up with an error saying that it can't save to this filename and requests that a new filename is entered. If we then save to a new file, and then save as to the original file it works.
So basically this user is having to save the PDF file twice after highlighting - which is annoying.
The strange thing is it appears to only be happening with PDFs created from certain applications on our system (payroll software and BACS processing software) whilst other PDFs work fine. Another user, also using Adobe Reader 11 and also using Windows 8 64 Bit, can open up the problem files, highlight text and save the changes without any problem at all, so it doesn't appear to be the files themselves.
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Adobe Reader without any success.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks

I'm getting something similar, but the message I get is "...pdf already exists. Do you want to replace it?" I click 'Yes' and the document is replaced under its original file name. This is using Reader 11.0.10.
Sorry - I should have been clearer.
She gets exactly that question, but when she clicks yes, then she gets 'The document could not be saved. Cannot save to this filename. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder.' At this point the name of the document as shown at the top of the screen has changed to a ???????.tmp filename.
Trying to save this document over the top of the original now works.
It looks like something is locking the original file and only releasing it after the attempted save, which then allows the original to be saved over.
Also using 11.0.10

New document alert: How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS

Opening PDF Files in Reader for iOS (iPhone and iPad) has been very helpful to many users of Adobe Reader for iOS. However, Apple has drastically changed the user interface in iOS 7, which made the original document obsolete.
According to Apple Developer Support's App Store Distribution page, 89% of devices connected to the App Store are using iOS 7 during a 7‑day period ending June 29, 2014.
Because of the exceptionally high iOS 7 adoption rate, Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.3 now supports iOS 7 only.
Here are the new How-To documents for iOS 7.
How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 version)
How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 version)
(It had to be split into two separate documents because each contains way too many screenshots.)
Hope these documents are as helpful as the original one.
Please let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions on the topics for other help documents/tutorials.

Dennis (or any Adobe rep),
Any updates to the OP's question? I'm with a large government agency, and we're moving away from GoodReader for reasons I can't go into here, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks within the app is a mandatory feature for the document reader we select. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.6.1) installed on my government iPad, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks still seems to be missing. Does Adobe have any plans to add this feature, or is it already present and I'm simply overlooking it?
Thanks,
Cam

After saved to computer, Adobe Reader could not open 'filename.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

What is your operating system? Reader version?
Saved from where? What is the file size of the saved document?

I cannot open any pdf files that are saved to my computer. Keep getting error 507:507

Every time I try to open a pdf file from a website or through an email it will not let me opne the file. I can open files that are saved to my computer but that doesn't do me much good in some scenarios. I run IE 10 on Windows 7 Home with Adobe Reader XI 11.0.04. I have tried unsinstalling and reinstalling. It works fine for a few days then the errors start again. HELP!

Thank you Pat!!!

Preview problems: PDFs that the computer had read as English are now read as gibberish

I download a PDF, and I open it with Preview on my Mac or GoodReader on my iPad (all synced with SugarSync): initially it's text; I can search for text in the PDF, I can highlight text and copy it, and all is well.
Then, I make annotations, maybe once, maybe a few times. Suddenly some PDFs, while still looking the same to me, are no longer "read" as English text by the iMac/iPad: when I search for a term that's obviously on the page in front of me, it's not found. If I highlight text from the PDF and copy it, the copying doesn't work - sometimes it's gibberish, sometimes it's just blank. Note that it's not read as a picture - I can still highlight words and phrases - but the computer/iPad doesn't recognize those phrases. "Eric" for some reason has become I7CK;BH$:;B7DO. To me, it's still totally readable - it's just that the computer doesn't copy/read it as English.
Has anyone had similar issues?
I've tried using PDFPen to "re-OCR" the document, but it won't let me do that, I suppose because the computer still reads the file as text - just not English text. I haven't yet figured out where in my workflow this is happening - the different steps are I suppose annotating in Preview (on the iMac), annotating in GoodReader (on the iPad), and syncing with SugarSync. At the moment I think it's editing with Preview first that somehow renders the file non-English, but I'm not sure of that at all - nor do I know if this is happening after one time annotating, or more.
I almost always make duplicates of PDFs (princially academic articles) before annotating, so I can usually go back to original clean PDFs, but it's more than a little annoying that all the previously-English annotations are suddenly unreadable.
This thread from the archive ...
Copy and paste from PDF in Preview results in gibberish
... seems to be related, but doesn't seem to have any real solutions, unfortunately.
Two things I'm mainly concerned with: (1) stopping it from happening again; (2) taking the now-gibberish annotated PDFs "backwards" so they become English again.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

First, please find a window based PC with iPod updater pre-installed, connect your iPod with it and click Restore, please note it really does not matter it can complete the process or not. Wait for 5 minutes and reconnect it with your Mac (may be you need to put it in disk mode). Do the following
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”

Once I've saved a PDF document in Adobe Reader is there a way to add additional documents later?

Once I've saved a PDF document in Adobe Reader is there a way to add additional documents later?
If not is there a way to combine lets say 100 documents into another PDF file at once (Batch export) in PDF Pack software or do I have to add each document one by one drop and drag style?
Thanks

What has this got to do with Photoshop?
In Acrobat Pro one can combine pdfs (Combine Files into PDF) and Photoshop (not in CS5, but again in CS6) offers File > Auromate > PDF Presentation to combine Photoshop files in one pdf.

Unwanted duplicates when saving pdf's in Reader

Compared to other problems, more of an inconvenience -
but time consuming none-the-less:
using Adobe Reader 10.1.1
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74):
when I request to "save as" a pdf,
Reader will save a duplicate copy -
to both the location I specify (with a chosenfilename.pdf)
as well as
to my desktop (with originalfilename.pdf).
This has been happening for the last several itterations of Reader,
but did not happen with Reader version 9.
Suggestions on how to augment this duplication so that
only my specified copy, with specified location and filename,
is saved?

There is nothing Reader is doing that could be the cause of this. Where are you doing a save as from? Where is the original file? The two possible causes or human error (we can figure out if you are doing something to cause this) or machine error (your hard drive is corrupt with cross directories, this means you need to either erase your drive and restore from backup or try to boot from your hidden OS X.7 Restore partition and try running Disk Utilities.) Let us hope that this is just something you are doing inadvertently.

I just installed Airport Extreme. It works as a wireless network on my Macbook. It won't connect with my Windows Visa PC. Message reads: "settings saved on this computer for the network don't match requirements of the network.

I just installed Airport Extreme. It works as a wireless network on my Macbook. It won't connect with my Windows Visa PC. Message reads: "settings saved on this computer for the network don't match requirements of the network." I seem to need to enter a security key/passphrase to connect to the PC. Where do I find them?
Thanks for your help.

I assume that you have Wireless Security enabled on your AirPort's wireless network. The issue maybe that the PC is unable to use the WPA password itself and will require using the Equivalent Network Password instead.
To get this password, you will use the AirPort Utility from the MacBook:
Start the AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort base station > Manual Setup
Now, before doing anything else, go up to the utility's menu bar at the top of the screen, and then, choose "Base Station," and then, Equivalent Network Password from the drop-down menu. You will see two items: 1) WPA Password, which should look familiar to you, and 2) WPA Pre-Shared Key. It should be a long hexidecimal set of numbers and letters. Jot down this second item.
You will want to use the value you just jotted down when entering the password from the Windows Visa PC.

Adobe Reader XI does not reopen saved PDF files

Reader XI will not open PDF files saved. Opens PDF saved using earlier version of Reader. Using MAC.

Good News and bad news.
The bad news is: The PDFs are irreparably damaged and you'll need to delete them.
The good news is: you can prevent this from happening again.
Download the ollfine Reader 11 installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Save the DMG - DO NOT mount it or run the installer yet.
Quit Safari.
Go to: Mac HD/Applications
Trash the Reader 11 app from there
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin file
Trash the AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin file
Empty the trash
Mount the DMG and run the Reader installer.
Open Safari and go to: Safari>Preferences
Under the Security Tab, make sure "Allow all other plugins" is checked.
You can now redownload the previously "damaged" PDFs and they will open.
