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.

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

Troubles saving PDF Files

Error states
The document could not be saved. The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open.
This goes on in every document for all administrators in the office, even when we know no one has it opened. This didn't happen until we started using Pro

I'm unsure how to disable the Preview option in Windows Explorer

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.

Problem Saving PDF with Opacity Masks in Illustrator CS3

I'm having trouble exporting an Illlustrator CS3 file to PDF. I have two layers in the the .ai file that have opacity masks applied. When I save the file as a PDF, the two layers with opacity masks seem to disappear (or they are flattened down to white/100% transparency.) They do not show on screen nor when printing. I've tried opening the saved PDF in Illustrator to investigate, and the layers are still there, but with no opacity mask. Where am I going wrong? I've tried a new file with a simple shape and a simple opacity mask, and it exports fine to PDF. So something is wrong with my file set up, but I can't pinpoint what! I have also tried exporting to various versions of PDF, and nothing works. Help!
Screen cap from Illustrator:
Screen cap of PDF:
Correct (Illustrator) with subtle starburst effect:
Wrong (Acrobat PDf), no starburst!
Thanks for looking!

Not sure what's going on in your file, but it's definately having a problem with the Steaks layer. Trying to release the clipping mask and ungrouping all the layers is having a problem so it might have something to do with the way the streaks layer was built.
Using your file I replaced the streaks layer and put a starburst that's clipped to the icon shape. I've attached two files. One is for Illustrator CC so you can retain the gradient fill on the stroke which is only available in newer versions of Illustrator. The other has the starburst I created expanded so that you can open the file and retain the startburst look.

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.

Saving PDF Fill in document

I have created a PDF fill-in document. My clients are having trouble saving their work. How can they save their work?

We had a similar issue with a few of our customers who did not want to buy software to save data in the form and we do not currently have the latest version of Acrobat. The work around was to find a pdf creator for the customers that allows them to print to a pdf. The one we tested was PDF Creator from Sourceforge.
In our scenario we have a pricing catalog with our dealer costs. Our dealers wanted to fill in their selling prices for their customers without haveing to buy Acrobat. We created the form fields using Acrobat. They would fill in their retail prices and print to a pdf to save the data they filled in as a new pdf..

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.

Saving .pdf file to desktop screen

Having trouble saving a recently converted .pdf file to my desktop...any ideas? Tried as many angles that I knew but still no option for saving to desktop screen (even with the right click option)...any assistance is greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Hi, SCOUSEinOZ. Aside from using the Adobe Reader app, have you tried sharing the documents with the help of the PDF Reader app? There's an option to upload it to your OneDrive from the PDF Reader app > ... > share > Sign in. After signing into your account at onedrive.live.com on your PC, you may now print out the files. Note that once you download the PDF attachment via email, it will be stored and will be opened using any PDF app on your phone. Keep us posted.

Saving PDF to last folder

I have Adobe Reader X 10.0.0, PDF Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x). I have been saving PDF's for years, and each time I save, it goes to the last folder I saved to? The other day, I had approximately 15 PDF's that had been scanned to me, and after I had saved 5 of these documents normally, it then started going straight to a temporary folder, and has done ever since, which means I have to go through all the folders to get the one I desire? I have spoken to our I.T. department and they believe its a problem with PDF and not with our system, and I believe otherwise. I can use Recent Places, but when you have done the same thing for years, and the amount I do, change is not always good
Has anyone encountered the same problem, and can help?

Hi Kat,
This is a bit geeky, but the signature appearance that you see on the page is not the signature, but just a graphical representation of the actual signature. The actual signature is a blob of hex encoded data in the PDF file that you don't really see. That aside...
When you create a digital signature the first thing Acrobat/Reader will ask you to do is select a digital ID to sign with. Acrobat then reads the digital ID and amasses some information to use to create the signature appearance. It then fills in the form field (a signature field is just a special use form field) with the appearance, BUT the signature still hasn't been created. The next thing Acrobat does is asks you to Save the file to disk. This is more geekiness, but it much safer to compute the signature byte range on disk then it is in memory. The simple explanation is it's harder for the bad guys to manipulate the bytes on disk then it is for them to control the bytes in memory and because a digital signature provides document security we err on the safe side and require the file to be written to disk before the signature is created. The other safety item is, we want to sign the signature appearance so that someone can't come along later and modify the appearance without breaking the signature, so it (the appearance) has to be created before the signature proper is created.
So at this point you've seen the signature appearance and thought that the signature has been created, but it hasn't. When you try to save to the network folder something is preventing Acrobat from saving the file and what ends up happening is the file is rolled back to the pre-signature state and the signature appearance is removed. The file is in essence untouched.
All of that aside (which is probably more than you really wanted to know) the real question is why can't the file be saved to the network folder. This isn't really a digital signature issue, but rather a network permissions issue.

I saw the responses on the page to opening and saving pdfs but it is cumbersome to shut down the function in Mozilla and work around it. Is there a fix coming?

Until the Firefox 23 update I had no difficulty opening or saving pdfs in Firefox, but since the most recent update (Firefox 23) I often get error messages about damaged files when I use the download button and try to open or save files. I've checked with another browser and they open or save fine. I've tried disabling the pdf but it is cumbersome. I am using MSWord 7 if that makes any difference. Is there a fix coming for this?

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select Adobe Reader Plugin for Netscape (or something similar). Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Trouble opening pdf's - I have received several pdf's from a friend via e-mail (Thunderbird). Some of them open just fine but others give me the message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."

Trouble opening pdf's - I have received several pdf's from a friend via e-mail (Thunderbird). Some of them open just fine but others give me the message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." My friend made sure that the files in question opened without issue on his computer (a PC). Further, I was able to open one of these "damaged" files on my Android phone, but I cannot open them on the Macbook Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
