Toolbar -- Seriously, no "save" icon???

Guys -- seriously... there's no way to put a "save" or "save as" icon on the toolbar? Now look, I love Pages, totally appreciate the speed and minimalism, and could not have been more happy to delete the awful (and absurdly slow) Word 2008 from my mac. But to not even offer the OPTION to put a SAVE button on the toolbar? it's such an obvious one. I mean, what's the issue? Was Steve worried adding an extra button would throw off the look? I don't always want to hit command S to save. You have options for far less-frequently used buttons to add to the toolbar (which could also be substituted with keystroke combinations, yet you still offer them) but not one of the most obvious and frequently used buttons? What's the deal? How hard could it be to add?

I did tell them, thanks for the info though. I appreciate "everyone has their own needs"... but we're talking about a "Save" button. My guess is that it actually IS a common requirement. there's a huge proportion of computer users who use that button and have come to rely on it, since it has appeared in virtually every program's toolbar since, let's say, the dawn of time.
Here are buttons that Toolbar DOES allow you to add: "Media", "Data Editor", "Instant Alpha", "Chart", "Inspector".... the list goes on and on. I'm just talking common sense here -- but I don't think there are hordes of people out there saying "Whew, I'd be lost without that 'Instant Alpha' button" and "I type only correspondence on a daily basis and really wish I had a 'Save' button, but thank god for that 'Chart' button."
Yes, there are different ways of working, and to each his own, but it makes little sense to me to not offer one of the most common and rudimentary buttons on a toolbar since the concept of a visual toolbar was even invented. Nothing against you heavy 'Chart' or 'Adjust Images' users, but I actually use a word processor to process words...

  • Why Doesn't the Acrobat File Toolbar Have a "Save As" Button?

    One of the most frequently used functions in Acrobat is located under the File menu where you can select "Save As" to select from a number of different file formats and then save the file in a specified folder.  The File Toolbar includes a "Save" icon/button that saves only a pdf formatted file to your Documents folder (or whichever folder you specify in Preferences) instead of to whatever specific folder you might want to file that particular document.  Another problem is that when you receive a pdf document by email or download it from the internet, it usually comes with a file name that you wouldn't want to use for the file.  Once the file is open, you'll want to rename it and save it somewhere.  However, if you have not changed the document in any way like editing or commenting, the only applicable icon on the File Toolbar, the Save button, is greyed out and can't be used until you alter the document.
    As such, the easy access to the "Save" button on the File Toolbar is wasted in that it will rarely be used when it's not greyed out, and when it might be used before any editing or commenting, it remains greyed out and inaccessible.  My request is to make an Icon or even just the label for "Save As" available for selection to go on the File Toolbar where it could be easily accessed.  Also, let the user decide if he wants to do a save before altering a document, skip the greying out of the buttons, make them always available for use.

    Unfortunately it's not a realistic possibility, because the Save As menu has two sub-levels across several nodes. A drop-down button can't handle that.

  • Saving a pdf without a "save" icon in the toolbar.

    I'm using Adobe Reader and Windows XP.  Most times I locate a pdf document on the web, I can save it by clicking the save icon (the one that looks like a floppy disc).  But, sometimes, I'm presented with a version of a pdf that allows me to print it, but has no save icon in the toolbar.  Can I save such a pdf to my computer without the chore of printing it out and, if so, how?  Many thanks for any help.

    Thank you SO MUCH Bernd for this ideal solution, it has made my life a good deal easier!!!

  • Disable the save icon of pdf document?

    Hello,
    My gool is to disable the save icon of pdf document when i open the pdf document inside flex application.
    Have you any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,

    This isn't something that can be managed from the Flex end of things. You have to configure the document DRM.

  • There is no save icon in acrobat reader 9

    hi i am running acrobat reader 9.2 on windows vista 64 bit ultimate edition. i recently had installed adobetechnical communication suite but it did not work and i had to remove it. after i did that the floppy disk icon disappeared from the tool bar in reader. i have tried re installing it but it still will not show it. i deal with very large pdf files and it is not cost efective to print them out. i only have three options, print,share or create. there is no save icon that i could find. other people in this office running the same version of software have the little floppy icon while looking at the same document i do not. what do i need to do to be able to save online pdf files to my pc.

    Truthfuly, I didn't think there was, but it seemed worth a shot.
    Is the missing Attendee List pod happening just in this room, or is it in multiple rooms?
    If it is just this room, I'd recommend that you delete (after moving any recordings and desired content to the Content library) the room and recreate it to see if that resolves the issue.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions:
    Exactly how did you delete it?
    Not knowing what computer or OS you are using, it's not possible to provide any help. We need more info and a filled-in profile.
    You can always restore the system from your backup.

  • Can we call a report on the 'SAVE' icon ?

    Hello,
    I want to call a report when i hit the 'SAVE' icon on,lets say 'Create Sales Order screen' or  FB60 .. how can i do that ?  please guide me
    Thanks...
    Shehryar

    Hi Dahar,
       When you want to do some validation for the 'SAVE' icon, in a standard program definitely there will be a save_exit provided, where you can do your own validation. I dont know for which transaction you are using so for your std. transaction pls find the save exit and code accordingly.
    Hope this soves your issue.

  • Location of Save Icon after Scan from HP 8600 to Mac

    After scanning a doc from my HP 8600 via wifi to my Mac, I am prompted to save the doc by hitting the Save Icon.  I cannot find the Save Icon.   Where is it?  I cannot find the scanned doc anywhere on my Mac.  Suggestions please.  Thank you. 

    Hi RickP777,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I gather that you cannot find the Save Icon while scanning with your HP Officejet 8600 to your Mac. I am happy to help you with this scanning issue! I have some questions for you:
    What program are you using for scanning?
    Are you scanning from the computer, or the printer?
    What Mac OS X are you using? OS X: Finding your OS version and build information.
    In the meantime, please take a look through the How to Scan guide for your Operating System. Scan.

  • How disabled the save icon of pdf document ?

    Hello,

    Have you any idea?
    Thank you

    You can not.
    But you can apply document security or apply Digital Rights Management.
    If you can get the users to add a special Acrobat/Reader application folder JS file, you could remove the button, but you would still have the menu items for 'Save' and 'Save as' and the keyboard short cut of '<Ctrl> + S'.

    If you click on the bluetooth icon in top right menu bar and scroll down to your mouse it will show the battery % left.  You can also download the mighty mouse widget and it will show status in the dashboard.

    Hi,
    Make sure you have sufficient authorization to have the Save Icon enabled.
    Else, you may try changing the number range from SNRO by selecting the required object.
    Also check the followiing, if it helps.

  • How to disable save Icon?

    We have a legal requirement in our bank that in our intranet site whatever document we show it should have save icon disabled? [thought there are lot if ways we can capture the contents of it even with save icon disabled]
    Is there any way of implementing the save icon disabled...I spent almost three hours with no result.... My coding will look like this
    int permissions = ~(PdfWriter.AllowPrinting | PdfWriter.AllowCopy | PdfWriter.AllowModifyAnnotations | PdfWriter.AllowFillIn | PdfWriter.AllowAssembly | PdfWriter.AllowModifyContents | PdfWriter.AllowScreenReaders);
    PdfEncryptor.encrypt(reader,fos,true,"","",permissions);

    I have pasted my code below
    We are creating a new pdf and applying permissions for that....
    I searched for more than two hours and couldn't find a way to disable save icon in the API we use
    com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfEncryptor;
    com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader;
    com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter; [you can paste this in google which will explain this API]
    I thought this as a constraint with this API, hence searching for other API's which has this feature...in most of the forums I saw implementing this as not possible....hence thought of checking in Adobe forum where people might suggest some other API...Please let me know whether this feature [if it is really a programmable feature] is available in API's you have used...Thanks Aandi Inston!
    byte[] documentBytes = document.getContentBytes(); //which will get the content of a pdf
    File newFile = File.createTempFile("tempPdfFile", ".tmp");
    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(newFile);
    reader = new PdfReader(documentBytes);
    int permissions = ~(PdfWriter.AllowPrinting | PdfWriter.AllowCopy | PdfWriter.AllowModifyAnnotations | PdfWriter.AllowFillIn | PdfWriter.AllowAssembly | PdfWriter.AllowModifyContents | PdfWriter.AllowScreenReaders);
    PdfEncryptor.encrypt(reader,fos,true,"","",permissions);

  • Save icon

    the save icon in reader does not just just save the pdf file it acts like a save as, asking the file name and if i want to over wright it. i had it fixed on my old computer where it would just save with out asking any questions or prompts. i cant seam to figure it out.

    You are correct. It actually is "Save As".  When you click the Disk icon ( a.k.a. Save file ) note the title of the window that pops up.  It says "Save As".  If you want to simply "Save" then you can use File>Save.  This is true for both Adobe Reader X and Adobe Reader XI.
