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.

    Having trouble opening a pdf with Adobe...keep seeing an error sign "acroExch"  does anyone have a way to fix this?

    Hmm, "Use Adobe Reader" should launch the PDF outside of Firefox in the stand-alone Adobe Reader application, so seeing it in a tab is something of a puzzle.
    Could you check your version of Adobe Reader? For Windows 7, you normally would have the Reader XI series (Reader 11), which has had several updates. From inside Adobe Reader, you can use Help > Check for Updates to make sure it's current.
    In Firefox, could you check your Adobe Acrobat plugin version or possibly versions? You can view that on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins. If you find multiple versions, this can cause problems and may need to be cleaned up manually (post back on that for suggestions).
    Sometimes, the settings file which stores those download handler preferences becomes corrupted and there's not much else to do than to rename or remove that file and let Firefox rebuild it.
    To do that, open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This will launch a new window (Windows Explorer window) listing various settings files.
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * (menu bar) File > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
    Start Firefox back up again and "PDF Files" should be back to their default setting of "Preview in Firefox". Try changing that to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" and test to see whether there's any improvement.

  • Trouble saving multiple documents with Adobe Reader 10

    I am unable to download and save multiple PDF documents from a web site. Since I upgraded to Reader 10 this has been a problem.
    The first document saves with no problem, However I can't save a second document (have tried using the icon on top of the page as well as the one on the new bar on the document).   When I log off the site and go back in I still can not download the second document.
    However, when I log  out and shut down the browser, and then restart the browser I have no problem downloading the second document but can not download another PDF.   I use Firefox 3.6.13 as my browser.
    Is there a solution other than trying to reinstall Adobe 9?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How do I remove a blank line in a pdf with  adobe pro XI?

    How do I remove a blank line in a pdf with adobe pro XI?
    Can I combine text blocks into one paragraph that are now given line by line?
    Is there a way to add a paragraph to an existing pdf and have the remaining text flow to the next pages?

    You can't, no, and no. Acrobat is not a word processor, and trying to use it as if it is will lead to enormous frustration and disappointment. Maybe you need to convert this document to Word if you want to do this sort of editing, but don't expect fancy layout to be preserved.

  • Can't open pdfs with Adobe Acrobat X

    I can't open pdfs with Adobe Acrobat X. I get this message:
      Warning: Distiller will not process .Log, .PDF or .JDF file extensions
    What do I need to do to be able to open .pdf files? I could open them previously.

    What are you getting the message in response to? Was this a creation of a PDF that resulted in the message? What are you using Distiller for? Distiller can only open PS and EPS files for processing to create a PDF.
    PDF files are opened in Acrobat. For opening PDFs, Distiller has nothing to do with the opening. So I really have no idea. It sounds like you may just be having a creation error since you mentioned a log file. If you were creating a PDF, have you checked the LOG file for the errors? The log file is usually located where you were going to create the PDF, but is created as Distiller processes the file (part of the general Acrobat creation process) and is deleted if successful.
    If you were trying to create, go back to the original application and print to file with the Adobe PDF printer. Then open that file in Distiller to create a PDF. Any errors will be shown in the window and an indication if the PDF was created or not.

    Hello,
    How can I give a answer back in the discussion on Adobe.com?
    I don’t see any link?
    1.      We have a subscription.
    2.      Im converting a newsletter from the web to PDF.
    3.      Sometimes I put a weblink behind the image in the newsletter. Most of the time PDF wont take the links behind the image.
    Only the tekstlinks are OK.

    Acrobat has NEVER been free. Reader (formerly called "Acrobat Reader") has always been free, but the Creation/Editing software has always had a price tag.

    Hi gignc,
    You can't merge comments using any of the Acrobat.com online services (ExportPDF, Adobe PDF Pack, and so on). But you can with an Acrobat subscription. Please see Adobe Acrobat X Standard * Publish comments from other reviewers from instructions.

  • HTTP Link in PDF with Adobe Reader X

    Hie everybody,
    I'm facing a problem with adobe reader X.
    When i open a pdf and try to open an http link within the PDF, it takes up to 30 seconds before a popup comes up asking me if i want to trust the site.
    When i open the same http link in the same pdf with Adobe reader 9.3 it only takes 2 seconds ....
    Is there a way to solve that issue on Adobe X ??
    Thank you very much

    hey watchon,
    did you work this out? do you have a solution?
    i have exactly the same problem on windows server 2008 r2 with adobe reader x. in my case, there are + signs in the http-link and then it behaves like you mentioned. a file without any special characters in the path does not do any problems - it just opens as it should...
    thanks in advance!

  • Opening PDFs in a certain folder with Adobe and all others with Preview

    I know how to right click and use "open with" and how to set the default application under Info.
    What I want to do is set all PDF files in a certain folder to open with Adobe's Reader when I open the file. However, I'd prefer using Preview for the other PDF files not in that certain folder or sub folders.
    Is this possible?
    Message was edited by: RWSmith

    Yes but that is just for a particular file or group of files. I add files to that folder often.
    I need to be able to apply the change to the directory level, not just the file level.
    Thanks much anyway.

  • Trouble Viewing 3D PDF with Windows XP  after installing Adobe Reader X

    Hi,
    I have updated my Adobe Reader X last week ( April 2012 ) and since then I am having trouble viewing 3D PDF on my web browser, both IE 8 and Firefox. I am using Windows XP.
    The warning message I got are shown as follow:
    "Some features have been disabled to avoid potential security risks. Only enable these features if you trust this host: (and the hosting website of the 3D PDF goes here)"
    Adobe Reader X will allow me to view the 3D model when I select "Trust this host one time only", but it does nothing if I choose to "Trust this host always".
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Peter H.

    Hi Ankit,
    Here is an example: http://www.catalogds.com/db/service?domain=newport&command=showProduct&category=root&produ ct=sl51bm
    Just click on the "View 3D Model" button and it will bring up another window/tab with a 3D PDF.
    I will try changing the setting in the Trust Manager panel when my Windows XP computer is available later today.
    Thank you.
