When saving a PDF file, it saves multiple of the exact same documents, why/or how do I change those settings?
When savind a PDF file, it saves multiple of the same document, why? Are there settings to adjust or what am I doing wrong?
This might help - I'm not sure:
Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar). Click "General" and check "Always close windows when quitting an application."

Reader v11 will not open in Windows Explorer (or browser) when clicking a PDF file; just a flash on the screen. I can open Reader from Programs then open the file. I'm using a laptop upgraded to Windows 7
I do no understand "flash on the screen"; could it be http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529 ?

I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 on Windows XP, SP3
I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 All-in-One.
I have an (obsolete) Windows XP, SP3 computer. Obviously, no updates from Microsoft
have occurred that might have impacted my Canon Pixma MX479.
When I attempt to send 1 or more pages from a PDF file to the printer, I don't even get the
Canon PIXMA popup that would allow me to cancel the print job.
Yet the Print Queue icon appears in the lower right corner of my monitor.
If I view the Print Queue, the print queue shows "spooling" and does nothing more.
If I attempt to CANCEL the print job in the Print Queue, it simply changes to "deleting -
spooling".
I cannot cancel the print job that shows NOT RESPONDING via Task Manager, either.
In fact, the only way the Print Queue icon disappears is if I totally reboot my computer!
"Luckily", I can still print e-mails, Word documents, and even my downloaded PDF of my
bank statement.
So, I was thinking that it was *only* PIXMA'S OWN SCANNED PDFS that could not be
printed ON THE SAME PIXMA 479.
However, I have since realized that I also cannot print USPS Signature Proof of Delivery
PDFs that I received from USPS via e-mail.
So why can I print *some* PDF files, but not *all* PDF files, like I previously could do?
THESE SCANS ARE OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS, SO I WILL LIKELY HAVE TO E-MAIL
THE REQUISITE, PREVIOUSLY SCANNED PDFS TO FEDEX TO PAY FOR *THEM*
TO PRINT THEM.
NOTE: I *have* tried turning the PIXMA off, unplugging it, rebooting the computer, plugging
the PIXM in and restarting the PIXMA - still no ability to print PIXMA-scanned PDFs.
And, I find it very strange that e-mails, Word documents, and some other PDFs print with
no problem "around" "NOT RESPONDING" PIXMA print jobs.
I have owned Canon printers for years, including the MX420, and the MX340.There may be some security issues related to the USPS PDFs.

I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

Does anyone have a solution for this???
"I cannot view pdf files on Safari, instead they download and open in viewer. How do I change this?"Back up all data. Please read this whole message before doing anything, so you'll know what to expect.
Open Safari's preferences dialog and make notes of everything you would need to recreate the basic settings, such as your home page. That includes the settings of Safari extensions, if any are installed.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste (command-V) into the box that opens and press return. A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
Launch Safari. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. Your bookmarks, history, and AutoFill data will be preserved.
Test. If Safari now works as expected, recreate its settings and delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place. Post your results. -

How do you change the default save as directory when saving a PDF file to your hard drive?
This is the on-line help instructions on this site:
Downloading a PDF file to your hard drive
You can download a PDF file to the hard drive from a web page's link. Downloading PDF files doesn't require the ActiveX plug-in file to be installed. (If you want to open and view the PDF file after downloading it, you must have Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or Acrobat Reader installed.)
To download a PDF file from a link:
1. Right-click the link to a PDF file, and then choose Save Target As from the pop-up menu.
2. In the Save As dialog box, select a location on your hard drive, and then click Save.
My issue: I want to save several pdf files (from the Adobe Reader in my browser) one at a time and each time it defaults the save as directory to the desktop and I have to go looking for the directory I last saved a pdf file in. I got lots of directories and I wish I could change the default setting for the save as directory. Just a minor thing but irritating as other programs usually will allow you to switch the default save as directory to one of your choosing.There is not a way to set the default location from all the forums i searched in the last couple days.

Unable to mark the box 'create Multi-page PDF from page tiles' when saving to pdf-file
I am running Illustrator CS3 on a Mac OSX 10.5.8
I want to print a very large illustrator-file (1000 mm x 900 mm) across mutliple pages of A4-paper (5 x 5 sheets of A4-paper) by saving the file as a multi-page pdf file.
I first followed the instructions provided here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/create-mutli-page-pdf-illustrator.html
When I then tried to save the file: -> File -> Save as -> 'choose .pdf from drop-down menu'
I get to this menu:
I am unable to mark the box that says: 'Create multi-page pdf from page tiles'. I have made a red arrow pointing to the box I want to mark.
I have tried changing the other drop-down menus inside this menu, to see if the box I want to mark could become available, but without any luck.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I would be grateful if anyone could help me set my settings right to allow me to create such a multi-page pdf-file.
Thanks in advance for your helpYour ps file should be good, the problem likely resides elswehere. Maybe in your acrobat install, distillers settings. what error did distiller give?
Mine ran good and got a multi page document, here is a screenshot to help you troubleshoot.
On mac go to system preferences / print and fax / and change your default printer if you have another option. I know sounds like this should not help, but there are problems like Illustrator for example not making .pdfs if you do not have a printer chosen or an old or corrupt .ppd assigned. -
Vector elements are randomly disappearing when saving a PDF file
I wondered if anyone could help us with this.
We make PDF files from Illustrator all the time to send to our clients for approval. We've found that occasionally random elements of the document will not be embedded within the PDF file.
There seems to be no consistency with this, an outlined word on one side of the artwork will vanish one time, it'll be fine for the next 10 iterations, but then a totally different element will drop off on a different part of the document the 11th time I PDF it.
All seems to be fine within the Illustrator document, layer/item visibilty is ok, overprint settings are correct etc.
I have imported an affected PDF file back into illustrator to see if the element was gone or just not appearing, and they're completely absent from the file.
This seems to be particularly happening with items that are coloured with spot colours or white elements sitting on top of spot colours, but this is not certain.
This problem is very concerning for us as we deal with quite large packaging files and it comes that we can't trust the files that we're sending to our clients to be accurately representational of the actual documents. We can't be spending the time to be having to check every individual element on a PDF file every time we make the slightest amend to a file.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys and girls can give.What pdf preset are you using (eg: smallest file size). Are you mac or PC, the pc works pretty good printing to the pdf writer. During your 10 iterations, are you making any changes to the files, or are you saving the same file over and over and the result is different each time. What happens if you go to another computer and try to make a pdf form the same file?
You large sized files, scale a troublesome one down to fit on smaller paper size (eg: letter or tabloid) and make a pdf. Are your PDFs taking a long time to make? Try cleaning up nonused spot colors, and making them global.
I make lots of PDfs and can remember 2 cases where things were acting funny, but resolved this
Embedding a placed 1 bit tiff that was being colorized to a spot color - the pdf span forever and never made itself prior to embedding
Creating outlines on a complex appearance stacked logo, where the corners were missing triangles. -
PDF file size in relation to number of pages of the exact same document
PDF file size of a document for one page is 28kb. PDF file size of a the same document for two pages (1st page and 2nd page are exact same document), also 28kb. Shouldn't it be 56kb??
First of all, you can't use Adobe Reader to add, delete or duplicate pages in a PDF file (unless you use a template object), so you're either using Adobe Acrobat, or some other application entirely.
The size of PDF files is not linear, ie if you have 1-page file and it's 1 MB, then duplicating it will results in a 2-page file of 2 MB, or a 10-page file of 10 MB. Many items in a PDF document only need to be saved once (such as font information, image information in some cases, etc.), so the change in size when adding additional pages is sometimes very small. At other times it can be very big, though. You can have a 100-page file that is 1 MB and then add a single page to it, with a new font perhaps, and the size will jump to 5 MB, just because that font is very large... -
No option in adobe reader 9.2 when opening a pdf file to "save as" a tiff file
Hi, I want to save a pdf file as a tiff file. I have Adobe Reader 9.2 and windows xp. In the Adobe website, it says I can export or convert a pdf file into different formats. However, when opening an existing pdf file, there isn't an option to export or "save as" in the Tools menu or in the Preferences under Edit. The reason I want to save a pdf file into a tiff file format is because when I use the program Microsoft Office Document Imaging to open a tiff file, it allows me the option to move selected pages & save it as a new file. In a pdf file, I have to save all the pages as one file & I don't necessarily want all the pages. My only other option is to print the selected pages I want from the adobe file document and then scan it into a tiff file but I would hate to use paper just for that purpose.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,You can use a tiff printer driver:

This only occurs when printing a saved PDF file. Word and other applications work fine on the first try.

Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

Saving a pdf without a "save" icon in the toolbar.
I'm using Adobe Reader and Windows XP. Most times I locate a pdf document on the web, I can save it by clicking the save icon (the one that looks like a floppy disc). But, sometimes, I'm presented with a version of a pdf that allows me to print it, but has no save icon in the toolbar. Can I save such a pdf to my computer without the chore of printing it out and, if so, how? Many thanks for any help.
Thank you SO MUCH Bernd for this ideal solution, it has made my life a good deal easier!!!

When opening a PDF file I get multiple blank tabs open up instead.
I have installed and uninstalled adobe a few time but nothing changes.
I'm running a new PC with windows 7.See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]
You can have infinite tabs opening if you have selected Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an Open with download window.
Firefox should not be selected as the application to handle a file and you have to remove the action that is associated with that file type.
