What happened to "Save As" for pdfs in Lion?

What happened to "Save As" for pdfs in Lion? Now there's "Save a Version" which doens't appear to do anything, and Duplicate, which seems redundant...
How is this new approach saving me time?

It's not, but it's Apple.
Apple's approach with its Versions and Autosave features is to do away with the need to Save As altogether since the system's default "Save" feature already does this.
As you make changes to a document, the system should continuously save all prior versions of it automatically, and you should be able to access these at any time and then duplicate it to continue working. In this way, the system is to an extent always performing "Save As" commands and leaving prior versions in the past, so instead of proactively saving a new copy to preserve your current layout, this layout should exist as-is which you can go to by browsing the saved versions, and then duplicating to a new document to continue working if needed.

  • In Pages I used to be able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file".

    In Pages, In the past, I was able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file". And I can no longer open the actual template, when template is clicked, it automaticaly opens an "untitled" version???

    In your description you say the first document opens as the Title you gave it.
    Templates always open as Untitled so it sounds like you have saved a regular document, perhaps into your templates folder which is possible.
    Since you have already worked on it and it has been previously saved, Lion will now Save for you and Save a Version is available
    The other document does open as Untitled so sounds like a real template and as Peggy has pointed out will not have either Revert nor Save a Version until you Save it and have changed something in it.
    This is a classic example of just how Apple's supposedly "simplification" of the process, is leading to confusion of what has happened. That the conditions and resulting actions from those conditions is so convoluted says it all.
    It all reminds me of the Monty Python Life of Brian sketch with the "simplified" John Cleese instructions to the class, as to if you have a brother in an older dorm whether to hang your hat and bag on the hooks provided. The trouble is Apple does not get the joke, that it is transforming itself into a frequently self contradictory bumbling bureacracy. The price of unchallenged self appointed geniushood.
    The incoherent half baked stumbling juggernaut has reached new triumphs with its edict on enforced Sandboxing on developers when it is unable to follow even its own instructions.

  • What happened to Save As RTF?

    What happened to Save As RTF? I don't find it in FM8, though it is mentioned in several places in the online help. I hear it's not in FM9, either.

    It's at the bottom of the drop-down list for the SaveAs options:
    It's also still in FM9 & FM10.

    That will only work in Mountain Lion not Lion.

    Apple introduced Auto Saving in Lion along with Versions and removed Save As from the menu.
    Menu > File > Duplicate > Save the duplicate with new name
    does much the same thing as Save as.

  • What happened to "Save As"?

    Good grief - what on Earth happened to "Save As"? Why is saving a file under a different name now involve several confusing steps? I suppose this is just a complaint so there is no technical fix except revert to a previous OS. But what the heck? Why take such a simple and perfectly functional concept and screw it all up? They must be very bored in the Mountain Lion department at Apple....
    I am referring specifically to Text Edit, but I've seen this with other applications like Pages too I think.
    Do I now "Duplicate" the file, then "Rename" it? Or do I just "Rename it"? When you Duplicate and Rename, then Save the file, it doesn't prompt you for a location or file format. So do you then "Move To" the file? How do you change the format? This is absolutely ridiculous... A perfectly simple and workable process, ruined.
    Can someone please educate me on how to now properly "Save As"? Thank you.

    Hi there,
    Hold down the "ALT" key when in the "File" menu and you will see "Save As".  Then it all works almost as simple as before.
    Regards

  • What happened to 'save as' command in Pages?

    I recently upgraded my Mac OS to Mavericks along with upgraded iWork software.  The 'new' Pages software appears to missing the 'Save As' command in the File menu. This is creating a major problem for me.  What happened to the 'Save As' command, and what do I use to accomplish the same thing in the newer Pages software that is missing the 'Save As' command?

  • What happened to scanning software for the HP 3050A?

    After scaning succesfully for 2 years from my HP 3050A to my Macbook Pro I got a "Scanning software for this printer is currently unavailable" message on my laptop today when I tryed to scan from my laptop.  And when I press the "Scan" button on the printer it say "Computer not found" (even though it can find my computer quite nicely for print jobs).  What happened?  How can I get my scanning software back?
    This question was solved.

    Hi Yakatack and welcome to the HP forums!
    I'm sorry to hear about your scanning woes with the Deskjet 3050a but I'd be happy to help once I've gathered a bit more information
    1. Which version of Mac is on your computer?
    1. a) Did you recently upgrade to said operating system?
    2. Is the printer connected via USB or wireless?
    3. Have there been any software changes/updates that you're aware of recently?
    4. Are you able to scan through System Preferences, Image Capture or Preview at all?
    If you have not recently upgraded your operating system or changed anything else on the computer, and the printer is wireless to the Mac, please power cycle your network. This entails turning off the printer and the Mac, pull the power cord on the router for 30 seconds and then when it's back up, turn everything else back on and try to scan once it all settles.
    Hope to hear back from you soon

  • What happened to English definitions for Japanese words?

    I have an iPhone 4S.  When I was using iOS 5.1.1 I was able to hold my finger on a Japanese word in an email message and buttons would pop up, one of which said "define."  When I touched that button I would see the definition in English as well as in Japanese, and the correct pronounciation.  Now that I have upgraded to iOS 6 I can only see the definition and pronounciation in Japanese, the English definition no longer appears.  Do I need to change a setting to get the English defnitions turned back on?  What happened to this incredibly useful feature??

    I think it is gone.  Tell Apple what you want via

  • Looking for a way to set my own destination for default save as for pdf's

    Adobe reader always wants to save files I open online to a temporary directory and I would like to set a specific location on my C drive. It wouldn't be so bad, but Adobe resets after I save every file to trying to save to the temp directory even if I have another copy open that saves to the directory I want.

    None of the above.
    First, the specs for gigabit Ethernet would seem to be fast enough, but Ethernet is a packetized delivery system and the packets of data do not always arrive in the same order they were sent, and then they need t be re-ordered for video playback. Potential result: Dropped frames.
    Second, a PC cannot be used as a file server for Final Cut Pro editing.
    Third, having 5 or 6 computers banging away at a single computer would also tend to result in dropped frames.
    What you really need is a SAN, a Storage Area Network. Those tend to be pricey. There is an alternative that might be a bit more budget friendly, but it cannot be used the way you have specified.
    You could install external drive arrays on all computers and a gigabit Ethernet switch. Then use the Ethernet to copy needed files between systems. It is sometimes possible to edit from one workstation to another using gigabit Ethernet, but it invites dropped frames, so I don't recommend it.
    BTW, when you say SD, do you mean uncompressed 601 video, or DV? Uncompressed 601 video is 21 or 28 MB/sec/stream. DV is 3.6 MB/sec/stream. Big difference in overall bandwidth requirements for what you'd like to do.
    IMO, your best bet would be to bring in a consultant/technician who can spec out a system for you. Don't try to do it yourself.

  • Save versus Save As for PDF Forms

    Windows 7 (x64)
    Adobe Reader 11.0.07.79
    I download a PDF fill-in form.  Opening it with Adobe Reader, I see just below the tool bar a banner that says: "Please fill out the following form, You can save data typed into the form." 
    I partially insert data.  When I select Save (NOT Save As), I get the Save As navigation window.  If I do not close the fill-in form, and insert more data, the next time I select Save, it saves without the Save As navigation window. 
    To demonstrate, try the U.S. individual tax return Form 1040, which can be downloaded from http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf. 
    I reported this same problem a few years ago, citing Windows XP and an earlier version of Adobe Reader (version 10.?).  Is there a plan and schedule to fix this?

    Free Hex Editor 5.14.0. 4787
    Icon Cofiguration Utility 5.0.0.0
    All of the applications listed above -- just a few of those I have on my PC -- silently save when I request "Save" for an altered EXISTING file.  Note that, contrary to comment #6, Word (from Office 2007) is among them. 

  • What happened to save as in the latest pages?

    How can I save my Pages documents in a particular location? It was so simple in the previous version of Pages. Ever hear of 'if it's not broken don't fix it'?

    Apple has fixed it. The "fix" is to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    If you originally installed iWork from the retail box you can go back. First, you need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user. Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip. Then you need to manually download the iWork 9.0.5 updater & apply it.
