Using PhotoShop CC v2014.1.0 I can't save files as PDFs - I get a program error

I have tried a couple of different files now. In the past I could save my files as PDF copies, but just recently it has been generating errors. I thought the first one was due to the size of the file but I just tried it again on a small file with the same "program error".

So the question then becomes, what do the files that won't save as PDF have in common but at the same time they don't share with other files.
And when I said that a font would cause the issue, this was in regards to using a specific font. Generally one that is corrupt in some fashion or was poorly created. First, try the steps here: Troubleshoot fonts | Photoshop CC, CS6, CS5

Can't save file from .pdf file opened in browser?

Before, on my old laptop, with Vista or XP, when I opened up a .pdf link from a browser site, I had the option of saving the .pdf file, printing it, etc.
Now, I can print the file, but I can't save it. It looks like Adobe wants me to purchase acrobat.com.
Is there a way to save the files? Thanks.

While that may be true for you, it is not a common problem for all users. I use both Reader and Acrobat (along with many other Adobe applications) without issue daily on multiple computers with multiple Operating systems so your statement is way to generalized to be helpful.
Have you tried getting help in this forum before?

Using Photoshop CS6 and after printing approx. 10 cards on an Epson R3000 printer the program gives me a dialog box saying "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents." Even after closing and reopening the program, the print command is greyed out so I cannot select any printer. This also happens with a Brother laser printer. Both printers will produce a test page out side of the Adobe product. Help!

I cannot get any help either. I get the message "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents." I have reinstalled all drivers, powered off/on all printers (2 of them - a Brother HL - 4040cn and an Epson Stylus Pro 7890 - which all worked fine until this morning). There appears to be no path to a solution. I have read all the forums and tried about 20 different suggestions all to no avail. Reboots, changing cables, reinstalling printers and drivers and Photoshop CS6 - ALL TO NO AVAIL. On a macbook pro retina with 10.10.3. This issue is out there and some get solutions - but not all - that's my crowd...the not all crowd. I have yet to be able to print from CS6 any more. This is a show stopper and my patience is wearing thin. And I'm tired of stupid questions like "is your printer powered on?" give me a break. This appears to be an adobe photoshop cs6 problem - as I can print from every other application. Anyone have any ideas? Adobe should have something?... Adobe system info below:

Can't Save - File In Use Or Left Open

So, got the oft-reported error just now. Still using CS4, until Monday or Tuesday.
The file was a placed image in InDesign, and opened into Photoshop using the Edit Original feature. Made my changes, hit Save, got the "file in use" error.
Used What's Keeping Me to see what process was preventing me from saving the image... drum roll please... it's InDesign.
So, how to use the Edit Original feature if you can't save your work to update the link when you're finished???

This message is a reply to the first "Spiers" reply to my post, not the one referring to Windows.
Which widget are you referring to? The mini icons to the right of my forum ID at the top are New, Your Stuff, History and Browse. None of these offer anywhere to go related to my post. They just dump you in another random area of the forums or to your own post or account history.
However, there is to the right, a sidebar that reads: "More Like This" which offers links to posts that DO relate to my problem. But, they DO NOT offer a solution. You, like the moderator in the PS forum, are basically telling me the same thing: Please take your issue somewhere else.
Why can't I get a direct answer, maybe like "Abobe is aware of the problem and is working on a patch" or "as obvious that it appears to be a CS issue, the problem is actually with OS X, etc." Don't give me the bum's rush.

Updated photoshop cc and I can't save files now

Updated photoshop cc and I can't save files now

No, but before anyone can help you, you'll need to tell us what version of Photoshop you are using, and what your new update status is. Plus we need to know what your operating system is.
[edit]
Whoops. Just noticed that you mention CC, so I guess you are talking about 14.1. So what is your OS?

I'm using CS5 extended on a Mac and can't save png's

I'm using CS5 extended on a Mac and can't save png's. The program stops responding and I have to force quit.

Thanks.
I am in RGB colour space, but when I try to save a PNG photoshop stops responding and I have to force quit.
I have found a way to save PNG's using Preview, but it is worrying that PS crashes on me.

Hi, I am using HP11 and iPlanet web server. When trying to upload files over HTTP using FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" that are bigger than a few Kilobytes i get a 408 error. (client timeout).

Hi, I am using HP11 and iPlanet web server. When trying to upload files over HTTP using FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" that are bigger than a few Kilobytes i get a 408 error. (client timeout). It is as if the server has decided that the client has timed out during the file upload. The default setting is 30 seconds for AcceptTimeout in the magnus.conf file. This should be ample to get the file across, even increasing this to 2 minutes just produces the same error after 2 minutes. Any help appreciated. Apologies if this is not the correct forum for this, I couldn't see one for iPlanet and Web, many thanks, Kieran.

Hi,
You didnt mention which version of IWS. follow these steps.
(1)Goto Web Server Administration Server, select the server you want to manage.
(2)Select Preference >> Perfomance Tuning.
(3)set HTTP Persistent Connection Timeout to your choice (eg 180 sec for three minutes)
(4) Apply changes and restart the server.
*Setting the timeout to a lower value, however, may prevent the transfer of large files as timeout does not refer to the time that the connection has been idle. For example, if you are using a 2400 baud modem, and the request timeout is set to 180 seconds, then the maximum file size that can be transferred before the connection is closed is 432000 bits (2400 multiplied by 180)

From your statements above, it sounds like you never tried to burn a CD for at least the first year that you owned the laptop, as it had a one year warranty on it. While you might have used it frequently to install software, play DVDs, Blu-Ray disks, etc, that's unclear from your statements. Nonetheless, it might just be dirty-dusty. So, before deleting-uninstalling any software, and given they're cheap, try a CD-DVD Cleaner Disk first and see if that resolves your problems.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.

How can i save a large pdf document in two parts

how can i save a large pdf document in two parts

i cannot figure this out, either. and i am also not able to set a custom page size to tile (in this case, tabloid/landscape). the dialog box defaults to my ppd for my epson printer (max size = letter) even when i select the drop down for "printing" to a post script file. I've been using illustrator since it's first release and i'm really surprised that this is rudimentary step in finalizing docs for release has been complicated.

Can't save an edited PDF to the same folder it originated from

Can't save an edited PDF to the same folder it originated from. Error "cannot save the document is read-only or is open by someone else" and then it prompts to save the document to another folder or change the name of the document. This is not what I want to do! Using WIndows 7

Hi JC_AUS,
Thank You for posting on the forums. This can happen if the preview of the document is opened in preview pane in Windows Explorer.
Kindly switch off the preview pane and then try the same.
Thanks,

Cannot create a Photoshop .pdf because of a "program error"

I make Photoshop .pdf files all the time, but today I couldn't create one. The original file was a large .psd image (26 mb). I get this error message: "Could not save as “sandybell for desert shakedown 02.pdf” because of a program error."
It doesn't say what error! However, I wonder if it's because the file is so large. I just tested Photoshop and made a .pdf file of a .png file that was 221k.
Is there a limit to the size of file you can make into a .pdf? If so, what is that limit?

Your file hardly qualifies as a "large file". Its size is not the issue.
The error message is too vague to be of any help. All it tells you that the failure was due to some program error as opposed to an OS or file corruption or hardware error. Could be a missing support file, a faulty installation of the application, etc.

Can't save file with futura font?

Hi
I'm having a problem saving a file that contains the futura font. This is a font my company had to buy. I never had a problem with CS1 or CS2 using this font.
Once I place the font in the document it will let me save it once. After making changes and trying to save again I get a window that simply says "can't save file". I've tried unchecking the pdf compatible option and the compression option with no change.
I found one thread on this site about clearing out the font cache (by deleting the file C:\windows\system32\FNTCACHE.dat) and that didn't make a difference.
When I'm done with the document I'll be converting the text to outlines but I need a fix will I'm working on the doc.
Thoughts?

Mike,
Glad you got it sorted out. After I sent you back the regenerated fonts, I discovered something which I'm posting here for everyone's benefit.
Myle nailed it when he suggested an "an issue with font embedding." The fonts you sent me were all embedding-restricted. It's possible you could have saved your documents had you turned off the PDF compatibility option, but it's moot now.
It's doubtful the fonts I regenerated for you will solve the problem because putting them through my font editor did not remove the embedding restriction. I would bet dollars to doughnuts that your replacement fonts do not have embedding restriction.
To check for the embedding restriction, you don't need a fancy program. Just download this Windows extension from Microsoft and install it. Then, right-click | Properties on any font file will give you a lot more information about that font, including licensing/embedding restrictions.

I have a 5s and am on iOS8.2. I used to be able to play iplayer/4od on the tube but now I get a connection error. It seems to only work if I have wifi/4g. Any ideas? Thanks.

It's a Finder feature, related to Quick Look. You can hit the space bar in the file list to get a preview.
If that doesn't work, you may have an issue witha preference file or similar. I find rebuilding the launch databse works quite well resilving tis kind of thing, as does trashing Finder preferences

Can't export file as pdf?

trying to export idd cs6 file as pdf and get message "cannot save to the file... you may not have permission or the file may be in use. I tried closing the idd file but then cannot save -- catch 22!!!

In a situation where you cannot save the file and close it you can try and export to .idml (see Remove minor corruption by exporting) and if that also is unsuccessful, try a force quit on ID, then restart ID and hope the autorecovery works. You really haven't got anything left to lose at that point, and you have some chance for recovery on the force quit where cloing without saving loses all your changes.
