Unable to save an edited PDF file

I have some PDF files that I need to sign, whenever I place my signature and click save I get an error message saying "The file may be read-only, or another user may heve it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder". I am currently using adobe Pro 9 with windows 7 64bit and Im trying to save it into a network drive.
Doing a little research, I found that there is a bug on the application, if the file is selected/highlighted on the folder where I opened the PDF, I get the error message, and if I unselect the file or close the window from which I opened the file, I am able to save it with no problems at all.
Is there any patch or is adobe going to fix this?

Como indica el encabezado del foro, se trata de un foro en español.
Has instalado todas las actualizaciones de Acrobat?, creo que la mas reciente es la v. 9.5.
Sobre una futura solución a ese problema (en el caso de que no se haya resuelto aun), dependerá de Adobe, esto es un foro de usuario, que no suelen anunciar si seguirán apareciendo actualizaciones y
en que momento, de versiones antiguas de su software.
En el caso de Acrobat XI, lo hacen trimestralmente al menos.

  • Unable to save as a PDF File

    When I save a file from gmail it saves as a MHTML file which i am unable to open due to the cookies browser settings problems which I cant fix by going to my Advance Privacy settings or my Chrome settings.
    How do I save the file as a PDF??
    Can someone please help me?
    Regards,
    Aldo.

    You need Acrobat Pro, unless you have a Mac, and then you can "Save as PDF" from the print settings.

  • Unable to save a 'smallest size file' pdf from illustrator 5.5

    We recently insalled Adobe Standard 5.5
    I often save PDF files from Illustrator using the built in PDF options available from the PDF drop down menu bar when saving files. Usually I will save a visual as a 'smallest file size' or make use of the 'high quality print' option for other files etc.
    Why cant I do this on CS5.5?
    In addition, the colour is not acurate at all!
    Please help

    Hi Scott - I found the following thread on the net. So I had a look on my time machine back-ups and copied the files from there, which I then pasted into my Settings folder as you suggested.
    Ta da!! All working again!
    Any idea how I could restore these settings from a backup?
    Thanks!
    The PDF presets reside in Root/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings/
    After I had installed 10.6.5, 6 preset files were removed from the Settings folder. The folder tree itself remained, it was just that some of the contents of "Settings" were deleted. I have fixed the problem by copying the deleted settings files from a backup.
    These are the files which were deleted:
    Smallest File Size.joboptions
    Press Quality.joboptions
    PDFX4 2008.joboptions
    PDFX3 2002.joboptions
    PDFX1 2001.joboptions
    High Quality Print.joboptions
    These files were not deleted:
    Standard.joboptions
    PDFA1b 2005 RGB.joboptions
    PDFA1b 2005 CMYK.joboptions
    Oversized Pages.joboptions
    Somebody at Adobe community support for Indesign directed me to restore these files from a backup, which solved the problem.

  • Unable to Save After Editing

    Ok, so I am using Adobe Acrobat X Standard on a Windows 8 operating system and I am having the slight problem that I am unable to save a document after editing it. If I change the colour of text in a pdf and then attempt to save it, Acrobat stops responding and will not save. I have been getting around this by shutting Adobe down using task manager, recovering the document, and then saving the recovered document; amazingly, this works fine! However, the last time I tried this, Adobe failed to recover the document, so this is not a viable solution. I have searched extensively online and have not found a solution to this problem. I have attempted unchecking enhanced security, but this has not worked. I am starting to understand that Adobe support is of a very poor quality, but perhaps some other Adobe user can help me. If there are Adobe employed moderators on this site, please look at this issue: being unable to save an edited document renders Adobe Acrobat completely useless for the purposes of my organization and, after all, we paid for this program. If this problem cannot be solved I will encourage my own organization and anyone with whom I confer on the subject to try other software, as Adobe is clearly inadequate.

    What exact version of Acrobat do you have?
    Does it work if you try to save the file under a new name?

  • Using Oracle "Import PDF" Extension in Open Office Draw to Edit pdf Files

    I am a fairly new Mac user with OS X 10.6. For several months, I have been trying to find something which would edit pdf files better than Preview does (for example, the content of a text box in Preview can only be "center aligned"). Skim and FormulatePro were two options I tried that were improvements over Preview in many respects, but wouldn't let me paste an image onto my pdf (such as, for example, if I wanted to put my digital signature on a document).
    Then, I "discovered" the Oracle PDF Import Extension which I had installed in Open Office months ago, but hadn't really used. By "discovered," I mean I read on somebody's blog that you could use Open Office Draw to edit pdf files and I thought, "Hey, I wonder if that would work with my setup." (Boy, do I feel stupid.)
    I have just started using this functionality, but in just an hour or so of playing around, I have found that it has far exceeded my expectations and, even, my immediate needs. Besides giving you (a) all the control over text and text boxes that you would expect from, say, a word processing program and (b) allowing you to paste images onto your pdf, Open Office Draw also includes layers!
    The layer function threw me off for a bit, because, at first, I kept finding that my attempts to edit the document resulted in grabbing the raster image and moving it "off" of the underlying text layer (a function, I will admit, that I think will be worth exploiting someday, but wasn't what I was looking for at the moment). Then, I discovered that you can "lock" the layer so as to prevent this annoying occurrence. To create your edits, simply create a new layer (call it "MyEdits" or whatever you want) and you're in business.
    Anybody who has done anything more than drawn a couple of lines and boxes on a page has discovered that editing the overlapping objects can be a real pain - if not an outright impossibility. Separating these overlapping objects through the use of different layers solves the problem.
    The only downside to the use of Open Office Draw as a pdf editing tool that I can see is that you must import the pdf, save your edits in odg format, and then export it to pdf when you're done. I know that we would all like to have the capability of doing everything I just described directly to the native document, but, hey, for all the functionality I have been searching the internet for weeks to find, I think it's a reasonable trade off.

    Try turning off protected mode.

  • I do not get a readable or editable PDF file that has been converted to Microsoft Word.

    In the past I have been able to convert PDF files to MicroSoft Word, and Edit and Save the Documents. Now, the converted files are unreadable and uneditable. How do I correct this problem?

    Thanks for the email, Stacy!
    I don't have an old PDF file that I converted to MicroSoft Word, however the new file that I am trying to convert and edit is the same kind of file that I've converted and edited before; An Invoice from the same Company. Is there a possibility that a download, MicroSoft Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office System, onto MicroSoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 computer might be causing the problem? Should I download to (.doc) or (.docx)? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,

    Hi Joseph,
    I'd like to assist!
    Have you tried converting one of your old PDF's that have worked in the past to see if it still works?
    Are these files scanned to PDF files?
    You may want to try utilizing the OCR solution.
    Let me know if that works.
    Looking forward to hearing back from you!
    Kind regards, Stacy

  • Editable pdf file that can be saved

    Working with Acrobat X. I have created an editable PDF file that i sent to my customer. They enter their information and all is good, BUT they can't save the file only print.
    Is there something else I need to do to make this possible?
    Traci

    Whenever I see "customer" in a question like this I try to remind folks of the limitation of the license for 500 uses. Not requiring the extra step is an option for Reader XI as mentioned. The other way is to have any data submitted as a data file (FDF) rather than the whole form. When you import the data file into the form you get the same result. The customer can just print the form for their records.

  • What do I need to do to read a Windows editable PDF file on a MAC?

    I have an editable pdf file which I can read no problem on various Windows based systems.  However, even after updating to the latest Adobe version for MAC (9.4: AdobeRdr940_en_US_i386.pkg) I can't open the file.  I have OS 10.4.11 on the MAC Book (albeit it is an older version) and Safari 4.1.3.
    Thank you for the help!

    The PDF was likely "optimized" when it was saved, and was not made compatible with Reader 9 or lower. You need to contact the author and advise them to re-save it with the proper compatibility for older versions, since you CAN'T use any newer Reader version with 10.4.

  • Requesting user capability to "Save Response as PDF File w/form design intact"

    Love the new admin "Save Response as PDF File with form design intact" feature, but we really need for our indivual users (i.e. the ones filling out the form) to be able to do this. Our director still needs a hard copy of the form for manual signatures and those who pay by check. Our committee chairs use the online data (from excel file) but we also need the user to print a hard copy to physically turn in to the director. A .pdf file with form design intact that our user could print out and turn in would be helpful.

  • How can i save my work pdf files and personal pdf files separately in my ipadmini

    Hi,
    I would like some help on separating my personal and work pdf files in my ipad. Currently i saved everything in ibook but find it unprofessional when i have to show my clients my work
    Is there any other way to save my work pdf files separately?
    trena.c

    If you still would like to use Ibooks you can add Collections. i.e.. work pdf's
    View your collections, add a new one.
    Now go to the pdf's you want to add to that collection and move them to the new collection you have just created.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi @kitesquid,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that your HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g, does not save a scanned PDF file on Windows 8.1 64 bit. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
    To verify the printer's hardware is functional, are you able to make copies from the scanner glass? Copying a Multipage Original.
    In the meantime, please try our HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know the results!
