Unable to save edited PDF from IE

We have several PDF forms that users fill out from the web.  The forms are presented with ColdFusion.  There are 2 scenarios.  The users will sometimes pull up an already existing form to edit and saveit.  Other times they need to create the form from PDF templates. it is presented with a cfpdfform tag. 
When the user opens an existing form with a link and Adobe Reader is set up to open within the IE browser they cannot save the edited file.  A dialogue box pops up stating the file alread exists, would you like to replace it. If you answer yes to this another dialogue box pops up stating :"The document could not be saved. This file is already open".  If Adobe PDF is set to NOT open in the browser and the form comes up in Adobe then the save works fine.  However, setting Adobe Reader to not open in the browser doesn't work well when the user needs to create from the PDF template. When the file opens in Adobe the user can save it however, all file pathing and filenames are lost.  it generates temporary filenames and wants to save it to ...Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\SWGQJPOR. 
A couple of questions. Anyone know how to get the already existing PDF to save when opened from within the browser?  or if not, anyone know how to get the pathing to stay on the file when it is opened in Adobe? 
I'm using Acrobat X to build the template and IE 7 and IE8 for browsers.  Any help is definitely appreciated. thanks

Thanks! I tried that and tested and it worked!  Such a simple solution to a frustrating problem!  Thank you again!

  • Unable to save edited pdf.

    After editing a pdf file, it wont save with the same name - says document is read-only or another user has it open (both not true).  After saving to another name, I delete the first file.  It appears to go away, but when I refresh the screen, it comes back.  Using Acrobat XI (11.0.06) on Windows 7 Pro.

  • Preflight keeps saying  "Unable to save the PDF File after post processing"

    I'm at a loss how to overcome this. Spent almost a whole day, together with another person, trying to fix it with no success!
    I use Adobe pro CC on a PC
    I usually receive pdf files from this one client who edits and formats a book in Mac Pages. Up until a few days ago I had no problems converting the client's pdfs into pdf/x3, but the last three versions of the latest file have stumped me.
    Just to test, I first just tried to convert the file (33MB), unchanged, to pdf/x3 using the save as other option - message reads  "the document has been saved, however, it could not be converted according to the selected standard profile: convert to PDF/X. Please use preflight with the profile "Convert to PDF/X" in order to identify those properties of the document which prevent it from being compliant to this profile"
    if I then choose under Profiles - convert to PDF/X3 - it says no problems found, and appears to have saved the file. If I try to save again as a pdf/x3, just to make sure, it then tells me it's not pdf/x3 compliant
    OK - so then I go back to preflight - and choose the standards function - then pdf/x3, then continue with the default colour profile. About halfway through the conversion, at the point of saving the file,  I get the message "unable to save the pdf file after post processing"
    So far I've had no luck figuring out what this is.
    I then choose the option of "verify compliance of ppdf/x3" - message reads "pdf/x3 version key (GTS_PDFXVersion) missing", and "Trapped key not true or false"
    Help!! How can I be sure the file converted / or not?

    Yes I was/am aware of Preflight's inability to play nicely over cloud technologies in certain cases, especially wrt Standards technologies, this will be partially addressed in an upcoming version of Preflight without saying too much.  But the same thing could theoretically have happened if the file was also located on another local network client or server.  Leaving aside the argument that this may violate the Acrobat User Agreement - since purchasing the software, the user agrees to employ its functionality on a single host system and precludes host-client-based scenarios - this simply is not a supported use, meaning the user may not have expectations that it will work at all, if the applications requirements are not observed.  There do exist server-solutions for Preflight files within networks, but Acrobat and by extension Acrobat Preflight is not one of those solutions, and (still) belongs in the single host-based desktop environment.
    However most (99.9%) functions within Acrobat <-> acrobat.com file exchange are supported, file syncing across multiple devices will soon be supported, but Standards compliance is still admittedly a problem at this point.  Some testing has been done using 3rd party cloud technologies starting with enterprise-based solutions, such as Office 365, and this will continue to ramp up to include other 3rd party products.
    As for the second point, Preflight will usually change the PDF version to be complaint, are you saying that it was unable to do so in this case?  It seems that this error should have popped up during the normal Preflight conversion attempt.  Personally I think solving a workflow problem using the print path is a little bit of a heavy-handed approach, but if helped and the results are acceptable, then that is good.  Since that path is non-existent on a Mac, as one needs to Save as Adobe PDF from the Print dialog's PDF drop-down menu, I am assuming your workflow involved file creation on a Mac, then further processing on Windows using the PDF printer.  I am wondering if a simple resave/Save As... to PDF with overwrite on a Mac, or Preflighting the file using a PDF version compatibility profile before the PDF/X conversion would have helped.  Since there are such a multitude of methods that a PDF can be created, there are also many ways within Acrobat that a user can shape the file to be compatible with the expected workflow, ie, 'many ways to skin a cat', without being morbid.

  • Unable to print to pdf from any of my applications

    Hello,
    I am running Acrobat 8.0 on windows 7. Toshiba Qosmio 64 bit. I am unable to print to pdf from any of my applications. Office, Mozilla, Lotus 1-2-3 and others. When I choose the print option. And from the drop down menu choose Adobe PDF as the printer. And when I click to continue I get the little metered bar showing it's working, but then I get an error in the printer que. I don't even get an option what to save it as or where to save it to. It just goes straight to the metered bar showing its working. And it does this for all my programs where I can print to pdf. Can anyone help me? Also, this is a student version. Could the student version be unable to do this?
    Thank you,
    JimmyJoney

    Although Acrobat 8 is not supported on Win 7, you can try a few things. First, apply all updates to Acrobat 8. If this doesn't help, check to make sure that the PDF port was created. If not, you can try:
    Open Control Panel, select Printers
    * Click Add a Printer
    * Click Add a local printer
    * Select Use an existing port (should be preselected), change the port to "Desktop \*.pdf (Adobe PDF Port), click Next
    * On the next page, click Have Disk...
    * Click Browse and browse to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF (or wherever you have Acrobat installed), click OK.
    * It should now show a series of "Adobe PDF Converter" entries. Select the first one and click Next
    * Change the printer name if desired, uncheck the box to use it as a default printer, click Next
    * Do not print a test page, click Finish
    * Find your new printer in Printers. Right click on it and select Properties, Advanced
    * Click "Print directly to the printer", click OK
    These last steps are detailed in the following discussion.

  • How to remove "Save as PDF" from context menu

    The item "Save as PDF" leads to a commercial site called NITRO. I am trying to eliminate it from the context menu. I installed the add-on Menu Edit and changed the item Save as PDF from visible to hidden on my Windows 8.1 PC with Firefox 30. However, the item did not disappear from the context menu. Yet on my PC with Linux Mint 17 with Firefox 30 for Linux Mint the item is gone from the context menu. My PC s linked with Firefox Synch.
    How can I remove this?

    Such an entry in the context menu is likely added by a PDF related extension, so check your extensions.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

    fats vee,
    Please take a look at my replies and screenshots in the following forum post to transfer a PDF email attachment from the Gmail app for iOS to Adobe Reader for iOS.
    How do I save a PDF attachment from Gmail to Adobe reader?
    As I mentioned in the forum post, it requires many extra steps to transfer a PDF document from the Gmail app.  This is because the Gmail app for iOS does not support "Open In..." as many other iOS apps do.
    Please let us know if you have additional questions.

  • Unable to print to pdf from a pdf

    We're having a issue where we're unable to print to pdf from a pdf with acrobat 9 std, so far a 64bit machine. We get the following errors
    "the document could not be printed"
    "there were no pages selected to print"
    We see the issue with all pdfs. Acrobat 7 std works fine, as does printing to pdf from other applications with 9 std. So far it only effects acrobat 9 std. We've repaired the installation and updated to the latest. We do have however only see this with one machine, but we haven't looked past this one machine yet...Any ideas?
    thanks all,
    cg

    XP pro 64bit. Just updated to 9.3.3, still have the error being thrown.
    The user fills in a form from our intranet and then prints it with the adobe printer creating the illusion that its write protected. I'm not one to stop them, given the forms are low value and all. Possibly if the process is uncomplicated (that's key here) then saving the document to the desktop and making the change and write protecting it there before transmittal might be an alternative, as long as it doesn't rely on passwords and keys...
    Sorry I'm an adobe noob.
    thanks,

  • Unable to "save as pdf" using Excel

    Hi,
    This problem concerns SharePoint 2010
    We have an issue with "save as PDF" option to the library on one particular site, it appears to work but the .PDF file never appears in the library.
    We can save as PDF to the desktop then upload to the library.
    Word will save as PDF to the same library without issue.
    Would very much appreciate any ideas you might have or help you can give,
    Thanks,

    If you are able to save as PDF from Word, but not from Excel, it could be a bug in Excel.
    Have you checked to see if there are any Excel updates/patches that you do NOT have installed?  This kind of thing is usually fixed through a patch.
    I trust that answers your question...
    Thanks

  • How to Make Editable Pdf from Photoshop

    Hello
    I have more psd page design.  I want to make a editable pdf from Photoshop.

    Please define "editable"? Do you mean "fillable", so that a person can easily type in the blanks? That doesn't seem the right job for Photoshop.

  • Unable to save a PDF created from a secure webpage in Acrobat X

    Hi,
    Our Acrobat X standard won't 'save' or 'save as' PDFs created from a password secured website. Same symptom on two machines here. Other PDFs work fine.
    The workflow we're using is opening acrobat, selecting create pdf from website, and then specifying a website with an https address and entering a username and password to access the site. This generates a pdf which looks great, all the links work etc... but when you click 'save as,' absolutely nothing happens. You're left just looking at your PDF with no save window or anything opening.
    This gets done every day in the office here. I suspect the latest update may have caused the issue?

    Hi Bill@VT,
    Thanks for your reply!
    I checked document properties and security is off. I've also unticked "Enhanced Security" under Security (Enhanced) in the Edit > Preferences menu.
    This issue is only affecting our acrobat 10 and acrobat 11 users. I still have a couple acrobat 9 users here and they're unaffected.
    The Save As button is not greyed out -- it's available but clicking on it just closes the file menu and does not open the save as dialog box.

  • Is it possible to save a non-editable PDF from InDesign CS6?

    Wehave an issue with our printer and would like to start giving them files that are non editable. In Illustrator it's as simple as checking and unchecking a box in the PDF settings dialogue. I've tried multiple ways that I have across the net but they all are editable once opened in Illustrator for example. We would like to give them flattend/non-editable PDF. We would prefer not to use any passwords or security features.
    Is there a way? Thanks for the help.

    Are you worried that they are opening the PDF in Illustrator and might accidently edit or move/delete something?
    All printers would have either Acrobat or Adobe Reader which is free, so there is no reason for them to open your PDFs in Illustrator.
    Perhaps they are opening them in AI to correct problems in your PDFs. Ask them if there are any issues, it's possible your InDesign or PDF creation process is wrong for digital printing, (for example, Rich Black text that needs to be converted to 100 Black only, etc.)
    Or maybe they are doing imposition.
    However, opening PDFs in Illustrator is still not a good idea. Illustrator is NOT a general purpose PDF editor.
    In Acrobat Pro there are Preflight Profiles and Fixups that may correct some issues.
    PitStop Pro is a better choice for correcting issues in PDFs. And there are also third party Acrobat plug-ins for impostion purposes.
    A RIP with software specifically designed for it will also help fix PDFs without resorting to Illustrator.
    Since your printer is in-house, I suggest you have a meeting to ask if they are opening your PDFs in Illustrator and why they are doing so.
    Perhaps some guidelines should be agreed upon by both sides and enforced by some rules.
    I have a feeling that some additional training (possibly on both sides) is needed to straighten out this situation.
