What causes the error "The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document

(131)", when trying to save an edited PDF in Acrobat Professional X (10)?
There are no security settings, no password, and no document restrictions in effect on the PDF.
I am the Windows access-control-list owner of the document and also have full-control administrative permissions for it.
Trying to save the PDF with a different name does not eliminate the error message or the overall inability to save the document.

This isn't a security thing at all. It means that Acrobat found something in the PDF which it didn't like - something which is wrong.

Have Vista and get this error msg when trying to save Doc as pdf. Document created online as result of survey and opens fine, just cannot save it to a file folder for future access.

If not corrupt, it may be that security is set that does not allow changes. So in that case, adding names and such could not be saved.

Set up iMovie Theater and iCloud
In order to take full advantage of the capabilities of iMovie Theater, you must be signed in to iCloud. If you are signed in to iCloud, movies and trailers shared to iMovie Theater are automatically uploaded to iCloud. You can also turn off automatic uploading, and upload just the movies and trailers you want, or delete individual movies and trailers from iCloud. For more information about the Theater, see iMovie Theater overview.
If you sign out of your iCloud account on your Mac, all iCloud movies disappear from the Theater, but they are not deleted; the movies reappear when you sign in again. If you ever run out of space in iCloud, an alert icon appears in the top-right corner of your movie, indicating that you can’t upload new movies. For more information, click the icon. After you upgrade your iCloud storage or clear space, your movies automatically appear in iCloud again.
Hide
Set up automatic iCloud uploading
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and click iCloud.
Make sure you’re signed in, and then select the Documents & Data checkbox.
Click the Options button next to Documents & Data.
Make sure the iMovie checkbox is selected.
In iMovie, choose iMovie > Preferences.
Select the “Automatically upload content to iCloud” checkbox.
To turn off automatic uploading, deselect the checkbox.

Waht is the meaning of code 15 in "There was a problem reading this document (15)"

I write out a PDF based on the format described in "PDF Reference" published by Adobe. Works fine for one page, but for two pages gets "There was a problem reading this document (15)" when I open it in Acrobat. No question it is my problem, but is there any reference to the various error codes so that I can look up the meaning of 15?

Hold the shift or ctrl key during pressing the OK button of the message.

THE FAMOUS ERROR: There was a problem reading this document (15) - Thanks Adobe Engineering team

As a result of this error, I cannot delete pages in a big PDF file I have of 1032 pages.
The error, famous on the web and in Google, is:
there was a problem reading this document (15)
I hope I can find a solution for this, because I cannot delete the unnecessary pages inside the document which is driving me crazy.
Adobe Acrobat X has a very poor quality testing. In fact I don't beleive Adobe test their products, I think they just program them, label them as the finished product, ASK FOR A HIGH PRICE, OF COURSE, and release them to the market creating a lot of nightmares and headaches to the customer.
Adobe Acrobat X crashed several times when the files have flash content inside or formularies. The program, simply, is bad programmed with a very poor engineering inside.
As soon I find an alternative for PDF, I will switch, I promise, in fact I don't promise it, I SWEAR IT.
And if I dont find a solution for this I will put in my car a banner that says "DON'T BUY ADOBE ACROBAT, IS THE WORST PROGRAM YOU CAN FIND!"
I'm loosing days and days of work, this is costing me problems and money.

Yes, there is something wrong with the document. That is the defective programming the Adobe engineering team did. And please, allow me to explain you why it is defective. After you spend millions dollars in 950 engineers and 3100 beta testers, you can destroy Adobe Acrobat X easily just downloading a website rich in flash content. Some animated banners in the downloaded pages from the web, it's enough to destroy it.
Just go to a website where you have animated banners, and press Shift+Crtl+O to download the pages...
Save your PDF document and then try to work with it.
If the document has a big size, let's say 1000 pages approximately, and many of them have flash content... Adobe Acrobat X crash automatically just moving from one page to another.
As simple as that.
Is the most unstable program I've seen in all my life. And please, don't tell me it's my machine, because I've tested it in other computers. The same!
But there is more! yes
Forms fields also destroy Acrobat X
In a big PDF file having several pages inside with forms, just go to Tools, Forms and Edit, then in the list of pages try to delete the forms fields selecting them and pressing the Del key... crasshhhh Acrobat X die.
What kind of betatesters you chose to test your products? For sure are people that are working with light documents of 5... 10 pages and no more.
For sure are not people working extensively with Adobe Acrobat, as I do.
And what happens when Acrobat X crash miserably time after time? that the Error 15 comes, because the file becomes corrupted.
This is not serious.
Is this the kind of performance and stability that Acrobat provide to the customers? having the risk to lose important documents and data, due how unstable is the program?
You can tell me you hired NASA personnel to do this program, but customers need results, and crashing the program just pressing one key is not serious.
And talking about complains I don't want to remember the last update of the Acrobat 9 !!!
And you know what? a simple tool as NitroPDF don't crash!
Sadly NitroPDF is not an option for me, because I embed videos in the PDF documents and NitroPDF don't allow me that.
I am using Adobe Acrobat X because sadly I don't find another alternative, the day I find it, I'll switch for sure.
Or perhaps we can get a miracle, and your programmers could focus in what is IMPORTANT: STABILITY AND PERFORMANCE.

11.0.10 Update Issue - Problem saving documents - getting message "This document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (21)." The PDF documents are being created by Esker VSIFax and the problem is only occuring with updated vers

Our IBM Unix system uses a program called VSIFax (Esker) to create PDF documents such as invoices. Users that have updated to Acrobat version 11.0.10 can open the PDF but then when trying to save the document the get a message "This document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (21)." The problem is only occuring with updated version 11.0.10 (11.0.9 works fine).

A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially.
I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.

The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (114).

After adding some sticky notes to a PDF in Adobe Reader i went to save it and it comes up with "The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (114)." and will not let me save it. Please can you advise if there is anyway of saving this document with the sicky notes in?

The problem is most likely document corruption. Try to work on a new copy from the original source.

Cannot save error, "This document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this doc...(8)"

Cannot save file. Get error message, "This document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (8)". What does this mean and how do I fix it? The file opens normally, so how is there a problem reading this document?

Hi MarkStabler,
It appears that your document gets corrupted, try printing the file through Adobe PDF printer and then check the issue.

After 11.0.10 update Save as gives the error "there was a problem reading this document (21)"

We have some PDF reports that are generated from Microsoft Dynamcs AX.
When we try to "Save as" we get an error.
The client PCs that have Reader 11.0.08 do not have any problems.
The PCs that have Reader 11.0.10 give the following messages on save as:
"The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (21)"
when I click OK to that error I get "Out of memory error"
I read that holding down CTRL when clicking OK would give additional information, and it told me this: "This direct object already has a container"
No older versions of Reader have had any problems with these same PDF files.

Yes, we have it on multiple documents. As mentioned, they are reports that are generated from Microsoft Dynamcs AX. I have found out that not all reports get the error. PDFs from Office or Autodesk AutoCAD do not get the error.
These are the errors it displays:

Please check whether all the elements have been selected or not.. You can check this out in SE09 under your request.

That doesn't sound right. It sounds as though you are trying to create a new ID, which of course you shouldn't be doing if you are trying to restore from a previous back up.
