Unable to save document - Read Only or Open by another user error occurs when PDF is opened from Windows Explorer

Adobe Pro XI  - using Windows 7 Pro OS
When a PDF document is opened from Windows Explorer, and pages are added, deleted, notations made, any type of changes, it cannot be saved until Windows Explorer is fully closed.  If you try to save the document, you receive the following error - "The document could not be saved.  The file may be read-only, or another user may have it opened.  Please save the document with a different name or in a differnt folder. "   I have confirmed the document is not read only, it is not open by another user, and it is not open multiple times.  Once you fully close Windows Explorer, and try to save the document, it saves without a problem.
Are there settings in either Adobe Pro XI or Windows that will allow you to save documents without closing Windows Explorer first?
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.  This error is a frustration since I open all my documents through Windows Explorer.

  • Cannot open \\psf\home\some_file error message when trying to open some file located on Mac hard drive

    I have trio of 27 inch iMacs in my office and we all use Parallels 8 to develop content in Framemaker.  We have two 3 tb LaCie D2 Network 2 NAS' drives that we need to move our content to  one and do backups to the other.  The backups from the iMacs are working just fine (everything is MacOS, of course it works).  The error in the title is what I am getting after trying to access the NAS from windows  running in Parallels 8.
    Why do I want  to do this?  Our main network server is 500 miles away and so is the DNS server, so when that connectivity is lost  I can't access my work locally (even though I can see file server (a Mac pro running Ubuntu or some such OS (honest, I didn't do it!!)).
    Why?? I just want to have a a little control over my data and some resonable expectation that someone is planning for emergencies by having a robust strategy to file protection (I don't  right now, and I can't risk my hard earned work).
    All my workstations connect to a gigabit switch  as do the LaCies.
    Both LaCies are initialized as HFS+.
    I  know I'm missing something,  I whish I knew what it is ( then the solution is easy!!)
    Ideas?

    I think it's the content of the include that is causing your
    troubles. Somehow you created a menu using Fireworks(?) or
    Dreamweaver(?) and Contribute indicates javascripterrors, not php
    errors...
    Maybe its better, in this case, constructing a menu that
    contains only an unordered list (check out project7 menus, or stu
    nichols css site for more examples). Updating the menu will be
    simpeler and also with less chance of errors by users. You can open
    such a file without any troubles in Contribute.

  • Error occured when try to open the BI report from words (template builder)

    Hi,
    After i LogOn into BI Publisher thru words, successful. But when choose a report to open, error returned as "Error occured. Please check the settings and try again."
    My team had do various of testing, try to reinstall the BI publisher desktop, but not able solve the problems. From the forum, someone comment is due to data loaded too large, so we try to put a query which only select single record from a small database, but still same error.
    then we suspect is due to the proxy setting, because once i reset to bypass the proxy, i able to open the report thru words without any error.
    i found this comment from online doc :
    Have set up the proxy parameters (to avoid any firewall problems with the Web Services and RSS data set reports) in the xmlpserverstart.bat file or the oc4j.cmd file as per your installation.
    Modify the following line, which defines JAVA_HOME. (Observe the proxy parameters in bold.):
    •     "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" %JVMARGS% -jar -Dhttp.proxyHost= <myproxy.mycompany.com> -Dhttp.proxyPort=<Port> "%OC4J_JAR%" %CMDARGS%
    Restart xmlpserver or oc4j as the case may be.
    but i can't found this xmlpserverstart.bat or oc4j.cmd from server.
    Please comment.
    Thanks

  • Error occuring when trying to open links in PDF

    I have recently upgraded to Acrobat X and have been creating links in my PDF documents as I have previously done with earlier versions.  However when other users are trying to open the links via reader (version X) they are receiving the following error or no error at all and are unable to open the linked website.  It appears some users are still able to open the linked sites and there is no consistency.
    The error displaying is:
    acrobat could not run the web browser.  Unknown error (6)
    Would be great if someone could tell me what this means and what I should be trying to fix this.

    What steps are you taking to open it? It sounds like you may be trying to import the project file into your project.
    To open a .prel file, go to the File menu and select Open.
    Also, when creating a slideshow, be sure to downsize your photos to no larger than 1000x750 pixels in size, as I say in my books! This will save you a lot of struggles later.

  • Excel 2007: file opened by another user

    Hi guys. Help me to hunt down a question.
    Then I am trying to open or save a spreadsheet in excel 2007 it always shows me a downloading status bar without any progress. After few minutes the file opens or not. Game of chance. When it didn`t open I get this error message "file
    opened by another user".
    I should notice that I have windows 7, office 2007. I tried to transfer some files to another pc and at first it`s working good, without any troubles, but then still the same problem. Pops up a dialog window with the message. It happens
    on network files only. Of course I have tried to run excel in a save mode and in compatibility mode. But nothing change.
    Give me please any clue what can it be and how can I fix it?

    Try this. Excel Options, click Advanced at the left side of the dialog window. Then make sure that DDE is selected. By this you make enable the Ignore Other Applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange feature.
    And also try the following:  open Tools – Folder options. In the list of the file types choose XLS. Then click the Advanced. Select Open. The Application Used to Perform Action box contains the actual command line used to start Excel.
    You should add in this field a space followed by "%1". Be sure to include the quotes. And deselect Use DDE. That’s all steps you should do.
    Also you can solve this issue with help of third-party program. This is good one, try it -  Recovery Toolbox for Excel

    In principle, this is all that i can reccomend. 

  • Can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer on Windows 8.1

    Hello,
    after I've upgraded to Windows 8.1, I can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer (directly double clicking the file). The AcroRd32.exe runs in the background (2x !) as I see the processes in task manager, but there is no user interface visible. I have Acrobat
    Reader 11.0.06, the desktop version (not Metro). I tried uninstalling the Acrobat reader and installing it again but this didn't help. The only way to open PDF files is to close the AcroRd32.exe from the task manager, open empty Acrobat Reader from the desktop
    and then drag&drop the PDF file over that window. This is quite inconvenient. Is there a way to fix this issue so I can open PDF files directly from windows explorer?
    Many thanks!

    I had to install adobe reader, but   PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?
    Windows 8.1 pro.
    thx

  • Lightroom 5, can't open..an error occurred when changing modules

    I got Lightroom 4 with a new camera.  couldn't install on my Mac so purchased  (full price) lightroom 5.   Retrieved my key and downloaded and installed on the Mac.  Lightroom is there, but when I try to open in says "an error occurred when changing modules".  I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times.  Went online and tried some suggestions but nothing works.  I have had no problems running or using LR5 on my PC.  I really like the program...I don't know what to do next. Running OS X 10.9.2.

    Have a Mac Book Air with Lightroom 4 Full Download aboard. Just got an iMac. Wanted to load Lightroom 4 on iMac. Took the Adobe download file off the Mac Air and tried to load it on the iMac. It was successfull but on opening  the message "an error occurred when attempting to change modules" appeared. I removed Lightroom 4 and went to Adobe orders and re-downloaded my original order to the iMac. Same effect. Bought full Lightroom 5 hoping to fix but the same message appeared. What's up! Any help?

  • Unable to save document as (Flash CS5 - BUG - OSX)

    I have upgraded my CS4 to CS5 on MAC OSX and i'm having problems saving new and existing fla files. It doesnt always do it but it's very anoying when you have done some work and are unable to save it.
    I get this message:
    unable to save document as (file name)
    please try saving to a different filename or location.
    even if i try to save as to a different location i get the same message, this ONLY happens in flash CS5 and does not do it on any other application or even flash CS4. To put it bluntly i am absolutely furious with this and when you pay this amount of money should not get this hassle for such a simple action.
    I have tried phoneing the adobe support line and it's a joke, you can't even understand the operator to even get anywhere and i just gave up having to repeat myself and asking them to repeat themselves.
    I would be grateful if someone out there knows an answer to this or have a contact email for adobe support that i can email them direct. As a flash developer it's critical i can get on with my work without worrying if my work will even save.
    Thanks in advance.
    UPDATE: I can save files in CS5 as CS4 documents but not as CS5, this is so annoying.

    I am having this same issue with Window 7 Professional 64 bit.
    It seems I can reproduce it pretty reliably but have only seen it since I started working with trying to import and export runtime shared font libraries.
    I create a new fla
    I create a font asset in the library and set it to import and specify a relative path to the shared swf.
    I save and test my swf and it works.
    I go back into the font asset and change the location of the font swf to another relative path (this file is loaded into a shell so the raltive path will change).
    After changing that import path I can no longer save the file even if I revert back to the previous value.
    I have repeated this process a couple of times.

  • Unable to make members read only in web form.

    Hi,
    I have a webform which has Accound dimension in rows and Period in columns. I need to make only FEW members of account dimension READ ONLY to certain groups of users.
    So i went to the outline (in workspace) and used "Assign Access" option to assign certain groups as read only.
    Then in "Manage Data Forms" workspace in also assigned the same access to that particular webform.
    But still those Account dimension members are writeable. Am i doing anything wrong here?
    Regards
    Leo

    Hi,
    This is surprise to me that even after refreshing the security you are still facing with the same issue.
    Can you check going back to the EAS side to check whether the filters are really applied to the members.You can also try refreshing security from the EAS side.
    I think you just have to right click on Security in EAS and select *"Refresh Security from Shared services."*
    Hope this works...
    Thanks,

  • Alert if document is already open by another user on server

    Hi
    First off, I know working off servers isn't the best practice because who knows if someone else is making changes to the very file you're supposed to be working on. However, we work directly from our server and the biggest concern is two users both opening and saving changes without being aware they're overwriting another persons work.
    Is it possible to run a script upon file open to:
    1. check the metadata of the file
    2. alert the current user if this is open by someone else, and if this isn't true then to update the metadata to say which user has it open.
    File close:
    1. remove user information from metadata, so next user opening will not be falsely alerted
    A while ago I had some joy with step 1, however step 2 required another save of the file otherwise it's metadata wasn't being picked up by the next user. This in turn meant longer working times because the file would open, then save instantly if it didn't find another users name in the metadata.
    Is writing to a log file on the server a better solution which does not require the psd/tiff/eps to be resaved once the curent users info is stored in it?
    If this is a better idea is there a way to write into this log, that should Photoshop crash and the regular close script that cleared the log didnt work so to now clear it upon process termination?
    Simply put, I want an alert to popup when a file is open by someone else. where this queries the files status or looks at tags placed in the file when i use?
    Thanks,
    Tom
    EDIT: FYI i was using IPTC data store the in use or not in use tags with if clauses containg either alert or save methods.

    Photoshop is not a file editor. I would think that it would simply read in an image file decode and create  a document to work on.  Most likely it would the close the file for it has no keep to keep it around.  Thefore if it had a lock on the file it would be released.
    Adobe may have way to work in groups which will enable users to check out and check images back into a shared development project. I have never looked into that do a search. The is also a Adobe Drive preference which I do not check which may be part of sharing
