Trouble saving as PDF

I'm trying to save a large job to PDF for the person to review and I keep getting the warning "The dimmension of this page are out-of-range". Any help would be greatly appreciated I'm starting to pull my hair out.

The limit seems to be 200 inch in AI CS5. However, I am able to save artborads larger than 200 inch with AI CS3 as pdf. That's peculiar.
I have had similar problems when exporting large artworks to jpeg. Sometimes I just use the PrintScreen button to do the work.

Trouble saving a pdf from In Design with Illustrator files linked.

I have trouble saving a pdf from In Design. Most of the files i've linked are Illustrator files with size up to 70mb.
I am getting out of memory message The In Design file isn't that big - about 9mb.
HELP!!!!!!

It did not help to close and reopen it.
Not sure what you mean with exporting in chunks but if you mean exporting page for page , so it didn't work either.
I think that i'll try to reduce the size of Illustrator files , but I 'm not sure what will be the optimum size for that In Design won't crush again.
Or maybe i should make the presentation in illustrator instead? It take some time to save pdf from illustrator when the original file is about 90mb, but still it works.

Trouble saving encrypted PDF to MAC

I am having trouble saving my EStatement to my computer - but only when I try to "save as" to my home MAC. I don't have any trouble saving the exact same EStatement it to my work PC (without having to enter any password). I have saved several EStatements in the past from the same source to my MAC without having to ever enter a password. Now when trying to save the PDF EStatement to my MAC a window pops up asking for a password from owner. Apparently it in encrypted BUT ONLY WHEN I TRY TO SAVE IT TO MY MAC. Any ideas?

Figured it out. I needed to open the download in ADOBE on not save it from Preview.

Trouble saving certain pdfs with Adobe x

I have just upgraded to Adobe x and am now unable to save certain pdfs (eg journal articles). They are not protected files and I was able to do this with the previous version. Same issue as previously asked and also running Windows 7:
"I am unable to save copies ofcertain pdfs in Reader X (10.1.1). The pdf (from an academic journal) opens without problem but when I click on the Save a copy icon in the tool bar nothing happens. I'm told to click Shift+Ctrl+S and then get a "Bad Parameter " message. If I click on the Print icon there is no problem. I'm running Windows 7"
Help would be great - needing to get study done!!
Thanks
Kelly

After installing Reader 10 (aka Reader X), I had exact same problem --trying to save multiple documents via Firefox browser (up-to-date version 3.6.13), only first document can be saved -- attempts to save 2nd document results in nothing happening. Uninstalled and reinstalled Reader 10, problem same. After closing browser, waiting a couple of minutes, could then save 2nd file -- but then could not save 3rd file right away, etc. Gave up -- uninstalled Reader 10 and went back to Reader 9.4 -- no problems with old version. Based on other comments on this forum, it seems like Reader 10 is not ready for prime time.

Trouble saving a PDF

I just downloaded Adobe Reader 8.1.2 for Mac OS (10.4.11) and used it to fill out pdfs and saving them as PDF (with the filled in info intact) . Then all of the sudden it stopped letting me save the PDFs. Does anybody know what I can do? The Save as PDF function on the print menu is not working either.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Adobe Reader, when you do SAVE on a form, does not save the form data
(and will warn you in advance of that) EXCEPT for specially prepared
forms. Maybe the forms you used in the past were special.

Trouble saving edited PDF

I am editing a multi-page PDF. I occasionally need to replace existing pages with updated pages. However, after I open the document, insert the replacement and go to save, I get a message telling me I can't save the file, that it's already open. No one else has it open. Any ideas what may cause this?

As I understand it, you have used the Document>Replace Pages tool, or the Document>Insert Pages tool. The former is useful if you are replacing individual pages, particularly if you have added markup. The markup (like form fields) will remain if you use the replace option. If you can't save the file, then just use Save As. I often use Save As to overwrite the current file. The advantage of Save As is that it strips out the old changes that Save keeps. If you use Save, the file will often become bloated. You can also do a Save As to a new file name and then delete the old file when done.
I don't have an answer to why Save is not working for you as it should, unless you are playing with a PDF/A file or such, or the file is protected from changes (security setting -- You can often make changes in the document and don't find out until you try to save that it is locked). So check for either the archive format (PDF/A) or security setting. That is all that I can think of that is blocking the save.

Trouble saving pdf - adobe reader X

Does anyone else have trouble saving some PDF files? I'm looking at academic papers and certain databases have PDF files that will let me open and print them, but I can't save them to my computer. Please help!

Sure thing. I can't save the PDFs from this (and other) journals whether I open them in a new window (default) or I force them to open in a new Firefox tab in my current window. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/01918869
Here's a direct link to one paper: http://pdn.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=MiamiImageURL&_cid=271782&_user=965532&_pii=S0191 886912000128&_check=y&_origin=browse&_zone=rslt_list_item&_coverDate=2012-04-30&wchp=dGLbV lk-zSkWA&md5=638882bd5747e10dc26e326478c5812c/1-s2.0-S0191886912000128-main.pdf

Trouble saving PDF

I'm trying to save an illustrator file as a PDF to send to a client and when it saves, one of the letters shows up much darker and thicker than the rest. Just one. The type is in outline form and the .ai file looks fine. I've tried saving the PDF as a high quality, press quality, all of the presets but the dang letter (l, btw) keeps showing up like this. Am I doing something wrong? I've saved tons of PDF and never had this problem before.
Thanks very much!
Amy

Zoom way, way in, Amy. Does the letter still seem heavy?
You might be looking at a screen rendering anomaly, which is not reflected in printer output.
In what version of Reader or Acrobat are you viewing the PDF? The most recent versions are better than earlier ones with regard to this issue.

I'm having trouble saving my file in adobe acrobat pro 9

I'm having trouble saving my file in adobe acrobat pro 9. When I attempt to save I get message saying,"Bad File Handle". There are several pictures on this file I'm trying to save...dont know if that has anything to do with the problem, just thought it would be helpful information. Would really appreciate any insight anyone has to offer.
Thanks in advance

I am having a similar problem with a simple pdf form. I have made several changes to the pdf and when I go to save, I get the message that I can't save the file due to a "bad file handle." I have opened, altered, saved, and closed the form several times before, just not now. No one else was working on the form. The file format is still a pdf and nothing has changed.

Trouble with Exported .pdf Files

I created three 20"x30" one-page documents (with iPhoto-sourced images) which saved as 24.7 MB, 19.4 MB, and 10.7 MB files, respectively. I needed to send JPEG files to my service provider for high-resolution prints. Since Pages '08 doesn't have a JPEG-export option, I exported each of them as .pdf files. My plan was to open the .pdf files in Photoshop and save them down as .jpg files. The same path had worked fine with a fourth Pages '08 layout of a 2.25"x3.75" document. With the three 20"x30" files, however, I ran into trouble.
My laptop didn't have enough memory to open the exported .pdf files in Photoshop Elements without suffering some image gray-out. I didn't think that was a problem until we discovered that my service provider couldn't open the files at all (running the current Photoshop on a souped-up system). Arghhh.
I switched to a service provider who can print straight from the .pdf files, but that also brought trouble. Though I could open the files easily in Acrobat 5.0, and they looked great, the service provider (running the current full version of Acrobat) could not open them; all he got was what looked like a blank page.
I don't think the trouble is related to file size, as the business-card document which sailed through without trouble saved as an 11.2 MB Pages file.
Could it be sheet size? That's the only thing I can figure. And why would the files open in Acrobat 5.0 without trouble, but not in the current Acrobat (or Acrobat Professional, which we also tried)?
I ended up "printing" the Pages files as "Save PDF to iPhoto," then exporting the iPhoto image as a maximum-resolution JPEG. The only trouble with that route was that the best I could get was a 200 dpi. When I went through Photoshop (instead of iPhoto) with the business card file, I ended up with a 300 dpi file.
Am I missing something obvious here? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I don't know if this is the correct answer, but you can open a PDF in Preview and save the document as a JPEG and JPEG-2000. I know that Leopard will also have some neat functionality about this as well. You might also want to look at printing as a postscript file rather than a PDF and then open in Photoshop. I talked with a FEDEX/Kinkos employee yesterday about my book at he stated that Macs use 1.5 while Adobe's Acrobat is 1.7. Leopard should also fix this, but it may not help right now.

Trouble view Mac pdf

I am having trouble viewing a pdf that has been created on a Mac. The text is in the form and if I highlight the area, the text will appear.
I am trying to view information in a pdf form that was created on a Windows based machine and then completed on a Mac.
The Advanced Document Properties show the
DF Producer: Mac OS X 10.7.5 Quartz PDF Context
PDF Version: 1.3(Acrobat 4.x)
I am using Adobe Reader XI on Windows 7 and have the same problem on a Windows 8 machine using the current version of Adobe.
I can open the document without an error message but the form appears blank. When I left click on one of the form fields I can see the text in the field. I can only see one field at a time and the from prints blank fields. I thought the text might be a white font on a white back ground, but can not find an area for text formatting.

The user filled out the form using Mac Preview which breaks the form. Here's more info: Correcting PDF Form Field Appearances after Saving with Preview on the Mac

Trouble saving files in Illustrator

Only recently I'm having trouble saving files in AI. It will take forever or just crash while saving especially when saving as a .pdf. Has anybody ran into this? I'm wondering if it's a recent thing all around or just me. I've been using this for almost a year now and have no worries until now. Please help!

things to check for:
Check disk for errors
Do a defrag
Check you fonts for corruption
Check your preference file for curruption (easiest to just replace it)
Check for enough drive space for the file itself plus the virual drive space need for your OS.
think if any other programs are showing signs of file errors.
As a last resort try reinstalling illustrator.

AICS3 objects outside trim not included in saved-as .pdf

I often have objects (marks, info text) outside of the document trim but within the bleed allowance set for a page that I want to be included when I print. The trouble is, when I save the file as pdf, some of those items drop out.
So, printing the doc to a printer or as .ps to Distiller the objects are retained. Saving-As pdf objects are lost.
Does anyone have info on this or know if it is an issue resolved in CS4?
Thanks, Dan

Of course the other way is to save as EPS with hand-made crop marks and bleed. Then use Distiller and you don't have to bother with the artboard. Have it as big as you like. An old-fashioned way, but it still works :-) If you save your EPS With Placed Images you don't have to bother with embedding unless you're using effects. No need for a preview either. Distiller does just about everything for you as long as you select the right settings.

Trouble opening a PDF of an impositioned booklet

I've saved a PDF of a booklet created in InDesign (CS4) I want to print. When I try to open it, Adobe reader (9.3.1) gives me this message:
Adobe Reader could not open 'BookletTitle.indd.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).
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm probably missing some setting... Everything I have came in the same package.
Has anyone had success saving and opening an impositioned document as a PDF? I'd appreciate the help. How did you do it?
Anne

I've read things on the boards that take both sides. I'm just looking for a solution. PageMaker was so much easier to use than InDesign in many ways... but I need to use InDesign CS4 for compatibility issues with other people.
There's a lot of discussion about not being able to make PDFs at all in Snow Leopard on http://indesignsecrets.com/acrobats-adobe-pdf-printer-replaced-in-snow-leopard.php - incuding some suggestions I will try. And yes, I read the whole series of comments... you suggested this discussion.
Fortunately, I haven't had the trouble many of those folks had creating a simple a PDF. But when I go through the Print Booklet menu in InDesign CS4 I get a booklet.indd.pdf file that won't open. I can print an impositioned booklet directly to my printer, but I need to send it as a file to someone else, and that's where my trouble lies.
So I need to struggle find out how to make this work. Jinny Coyle's solution appears to be the best. I guess it's time for me to learn Distiller.
I just expect things to work even when they're upgraded, and for Adobe and Apple to work together. I don't care whose particular fault it is - this affects a lot more people than just me.
Thanks again for that link.

How do you change the default save as directory when saving a PDF file to your hard drive?

This is the on-line help instructions on this site:
Downloading a PDF file to your hard drive
You can download a PDF file to the hard drive from a web page's link. Downloading PDF files doesn't require the ActiveX plug-in file to be installed. (If you want to open and view the PDF file after downloading it, you must have Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or Acrobat Reader installed.)
To download a PDF file from a link:
1. Right-click the link to a PDF file, and then choose Save Target As from the pop-up menu.
2. In the Save As dialog box, select a location on your hard drive, and then click Save.
My issue: I want to save several pdf files (from the Adobe Reader in my browser) one at a time and each time it defaults the save as directory to the desktop and I have to go looking for the directory I last saved a pdf file in. I got lots of directories and I wish I could change the default setting for the save as directory. Just a minor thing but irritating as other programs usually will allow you to switch the default save as directory to one of your choosing.

There is not a way to set the default location from all the forums i searched in the last couple days.
