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.

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 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

  • 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 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.

  • Can you save editable pdf as read only

    I have a client who's using an editable pdf that I set up in the full version of Acrobat 8.0. They would like to edit the doc in Acrobat Reader and then do a save as and make the doc "read Only" so that their viewers can't edit the document after they have made their changes. Is this possible or am I the only one who can make it readable or not readable with the full version of Acrobat?

    You can do it. They can't.
    If this is something they are going to do a lot of, recommend that they purchase at least Acrobat Standard if not Pro.

  • Unable to save Infoview pdf reports in Windows Vista

    Good morning,
    My coworker needs to be able to save Infoview pdf reports from her Windows Vista PC, but she is presently unable to.  She was able to save the reports fine previously from the Windows XP PC she used to have.
    Following are the steps taken to arrive at the problem:
    1) On a Windows Vista PC, browse to:  https://wyinf.hostams.com/InfoViewApp/logon.jsp
    2) Logon with appropriate credentials.
    3) Navigate to:  All > Public Folders > WY WOLFS Reports > Double-click on one of the listed Adobe Acrobat .pdf reports.
    4) Now the pdf report is open within the web browser, and "BUSINESSOBJECTS INFOVIEW" is the title above the pdf report.
    5) Click on the "Save" button - Nothing happens or appears.  (After clicking on the save button, a window should launch that lets you save the pdf file to a desired location.  This works fine on Windows XP)
    If any of you know of any workarounds to this problem or any settings I could adjust to fix this, please let me know.
    Thanks for any help,
    Tully

    Hi Raveesh
    Apologies but we do not have certification done on Vista yet.

  • PSE 7...Unable to save edited photos in a version set

    I am suddenly unable to save my edited photos in a version set.  The edited photo is being saved on the hard drive but is not linked to the previous photo nor is visable in the open catalog.  This issue in occuring in only one catalog but not in others.  Thanks for any help.

    You may be encountering a known bug.  To troubleshoot:
    1. In the Organizer, select one of the problem photos (the original, not the edited), right-click it, and do Show Properties.  What is the full, precise path of the photo, shown to the right of the yellow folder icon at the bottom of the Properties window?
    2. Do Help > System Info.  What is the precise path given for Catalog Location?

  • Why am I unable to save unsecured PDFs

    I have Acrobat 9 on a new Vista PC. All of a sudden I am having difficulty saving downloaded PDF documents, even tho they are not secured (i.e. Properties/Security shows everything Allowed including copying). Am even in email correspondence with one of the PDF's publishers who can't reproduce my problem - i.e. he also thinks that I should be able to save a download of his PDF document !
    Neither clicking the save icon in the Acrobat toolbar nor picking File/Save As in the Explorer toolbar brings up the usual save dialogue box.
    The strange thing is that the difficulty seems to arise on only some sites/downloads, not all.
    Does anyone have any technical insights into this issue? Anything to do with Vista security or McAfee, perhaps?
    With thanks for any assistance!!

    I found a decent guy at Adobe who is looking into the matter for me, in
    case there are other lurking issues. Meanwhile he suggested an Adobe Acrobat
    9.1 workaround that does seem to solve the problem in the short term. Try it
    - if it's available in Reader - and good luck!

  • Save editable PDF

    Hi,
    I want to create an editable PDF with Acrobat 10 PRO but it's possible follow these things:
    1) I don't want distribute pdf by email or other...
    2) I need the user that open my pdf can input data into a form ad save all!!
    It's very important for me, I hope that you can help me
    Have good day!

    the only way seems to distribute my pdf form, but in this way the user:
    1) view the Send Button on the top-right of the interface
    2) when save the form lose the inputs value
    Distribution way does not meet my needs..

  • Pse 5 unable to save edits

    I have hade pse 5 for several years.  All of a sudden, I can't save edits.  I get error message, "Unable to save.  Computer error."  What to do?

    Thank you for your response.
    I'll reinstall PSE and see what happens.  The error message has changed to "an error in the program has occurred."  Doesn't state which error, but does lead to the conclusion that reinstalling would be a good idea.
    >>> TinkerTinkerUK <[email protected]> 11/2/2009 1:38 AM >>>
    Not clear if this problem relates to all edits or just one or two pictures. My suggested acton is
    1) use Vista to copy these pictures to somewhere safe (CD/DVD, another computer).
    2) make another copy of the picture e.g. copy fred.jpg to fred_xx.jpg; and see if edit works on the new file.
    The key thing at the moment must be to save the pictures.
    Once the pictures are secure then you can worry about PSE. If the pictures are OK then my next move would be to reinstall PSE5 (this will not have any impact on albums or configurations as you are only reloading the source code)
    The fact that you do not have other copies of pictures highlights the need for backups and file management of pictures. My action is always to bring all the pictures (good and bad) from the camera into a picture_download file which is stored on two different hard drives (in my case a separate computer). I then copy the pictures to the Adobe work area and do all the deletions, corrections there. Hence, if disaster strikes, I can always go back to the original.

  • Save editable pdf in Adobe Reader?

    I have made an editable pdf. I want my colleagues to fill in this pdf. But they have Adobe Reader… Is there any way (in Adobe Reader) that they can make changes, save it and then email it to customers?

    If you are talking about a form they would need to fill out, Adobe Reader XI can do that or if you have Acrobat, you can add form fields that all versions of Reader can fill out.
    If you are talking about any other type of edits, Reader cannot do that.

  • Possible to save editable pdf as read only?

    I need to make an editable pdf that I can send to a client. The client needs to be able to open it in Adobe Reader, make changes, save it, and then email to customers. Is there any way (in Adobe Reader) that they can make the pdf read-only after they have made their edits, so that their customers can't edit the pdf?

    You can do it. They can't.
    If this is something they are going to do a lot of, recommend that they purchase at least Acrobat Standard if not Pro.

  • 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
