Where do my saved pdf files go?

I keep creating a PDF file from a publisher file and it says it is being saved in desktop but when I go to look for it, it is not in there, in fact I did a harddrive search and cannot find it. Where does it go?

that's a system setting, not an adobe setting. generally, after an initial save, files continue to be saved to the same location.
and you can always use 'save as..' to designate exactly where you want files saved.

Where is my saved PDF file?

I viewed a PDF fle in preview ... and then saved it in Icloud .. but now I cant find it anywhere. It's not in Iwork or on my HD anywhere that I can find.
Doesnt Icloud support PDF files? (This is on a Macbook Pro)
Thanks in advance ...

Thanks Lady Designer, your method works. However, it's too many steps for what I'll need to do. I have approximately 200 e-mail messages to print to file. It'd be much faster to select a message, Command+P, Enter, and continue with the next message. Your method requires the additional steps of clicking on the PDF button and selecting Save As PDF.
You're probably thinking, "Why doesn't he just select all the messages and print once?" I tried that.
When I choose to the PDF button and Save As PDF, no matter how many multiple messages I choose, only one of the messages turns into a PDF file. The other messages, despite being (apparently) processed, do not become PDF files. In fact, they become nothing; I know what happens to them.
When I choose to print using Adobe PDF 9.0 as my printer, I'm not given the opportunity to select a destination for multiple files; they automatically print to the Desktop. All the messages, however, do become PDF files.
Unless there's a way to select a file destination to which the Adobe PDF 9.0 printer can default, my choices are to either print-to-file each message one at a time; or print all the messages at once with the one method that works, but that will flood my Desktop with a couple hundred file icons. Although the mess lasts as long as it would take to gather the files into a new folder, I prefer to save myself the trouble.

Custom "Save as PDF" directly to a destination folder overwrites previously saved PDF files

Custom "Save as PDF" directly to a destination folder overwrites previously saved PDF files
As many of you will know, within Mac OSX it is possible to "print" any document off as a PDF. You simply prepare your document then invoke the "Print" command and in the resulting print dialog box, click the "PDF" button in the bottom left corner which spills out a menu with various options including "Save as PDF..." as shown in the image below:
Selecting the last option "Edit Menu" permits users to add specific folders to which a PDF of the document will be saved. As you will note from the image above, I have created a number of destinations such as "Bank Transfers" (for anything on screen in Safari I wish to preserve when using my on-line banking facility); "Bind" (which I use with an Automator workflow to consolidate many PDFs into one long document); "Officeworks" (for stuff I need to copy to a USB stick and have printed on on large plotters); "iPad" (for anything I need to put on my iPad through "iAnnotate" or "Documents") etc
The problem I have discovered is that with the introduction of Mountain Lion, PDFs that get saved directly to a destination folder get overwritten by later versions of PDFs that are produced from the same document. This is fine when working on a single document that you may want to have the latest print of a document but not so when you produce many different PDFs from the same browser window in Safari as you surf through a number of websites etc.
Prior to Mountain Lion, pervious versions were never over-written but rather preserved them with new versions having version number suffixes added e.g., untitled.pdf, followed by untitled1.pdf, untitled2.pdf, untitled3.pdf etc.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? (other than a workaround like switching to Finder to rename or move files around)

The "Save to Web Receipts" bug existed for a long time - here's a MacOSXHints article offering a workaround in 2007. Here's another reference to it in 2009. Your contention that:
Prior to Mountain Lion, pervious [sic] versions were never over-written.
is, I'm afraid, wrong.
Apple fixed (worked around) that bug by using a .pdfworkflow, as I indicated. As I also indicated, this file can't be opened with Automator (or I just don't know how, which is no great surprise ). But it's the answer to your problems.
You can either wait for Apple to fix what is, admittedly, a huge bug in their PDF Services feature, or you can find a way of implementing the same fix they did for your own folders.
I should be doing the same, as I use PDF Services regularly, but I'm too lazy and have had too little success with Automator in general to give it a shot. You may have more success than I did.
Good luck

HT5678 I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari. I don't have this problem with firefox

I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari. I don't have this problem with firefox.

do they save ok if Safari - Preferences - Security - Allow all other plug-ins is unchecked ?
If so, likely an adobe or other pdf plugin
Re-check the setting above & quit any browsers,
Look in this folder by triple-clicking the line below, then ctrl-clicking it & choosing Services - Open
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
remove anything with pdf in the filename & test again
Sometimes, plug-ins can be in the User Library folder :
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/

Saving PDF files from illustrator

Hi
Can anybody help we are having an issue with illustrator cs3 and cs4 when saving pdf files
as you can see this is the file in illustrator and the images butt togeather with a black line down the middle when we then save the pdf and we have tried different options it moves the image, the images are placed eps images. This is not file specific as we have tried other files/images.
Can anybody help

Yes I think I understand the problem and I believe it is expected behavior and I will explain.
You must convert the images to cmyk in photoshop first before placing them in Illustrator or convert them after but since they are linked the conversion has to take place in photoshop by using the link panel to edit the original.
Now it should work as expected but I did this without the using a black key line on the rectangle I used for my clipping so once you have the rectangles position if you still find you have this problem then go bak and redo the clipping mask without the black stroke.
This is my result in Acrobat with the images converted to cmyk so I am positive you stated with RGB and did not convert before placing.
As you can at 6400% magnification it is fine. This is the top edge of the two butted images when saved as pdf after converting the files to cmyk in Photoshop. PDX 1a supports CMYK.
This is what it looks like when using the inked files when they are rgb

How to find where iWeb is saving the files?

greetings.
i used iweb last year to make a couple web pages... i normally just edit html directly and don't use this kind of software... i cannot find where it is saving the pages i've updated... the location in ~/Site that has the files from last year do not appear to be updating when saving... the changes are getting saved somewhere because the changes are still there after quitting and restarting iweb... the standard way i use to find where a program is saving the file is to command+click on the title bar to see what path it is saving the file... that doesn't work in iweb...
i edit my files locally on my HD... then when everything is ok, i copy them up to our server... since i cannot find where iweb is saving the files, i can't copy them to the server... i really don't like software that gets in the way of just doing the work or hides everything... :-\
i did a quick search of the manual and this list and didn't find anything on this topic...
thanks for any suggestions-
jeffery
ps: also how does one get rid of that ANNOYING "try mobilme for free" splash screen when starting the program each time? it's enough to make me want to just delete everything and recode it by hand... certainly less annoying and possibly even faster... :-[ sorry for being so cranky-

There is absolutely nothing wrong with iWeb at all. You just need to learn how to use it and what it does and how it publishes that is all.
You just need to know that if you want to update, then you need the domain files and where they are stored and know that iWeb cannot import and that it creates html files on publishing and publishing to a folder will create these. If you wish to make alterations to these files, then you can easily do so with an html editor and then upload directly to your web server.
As with anything, if you learn what it does and how to use it effectively, you can make it work very well for you.

Where can i save pdf files in icloud? Wo kann ich in der icloud PDF Dateien speichern?

Where can i save PDF files in icloud?
Wo kann ich in der icloud PDF Dateien speichern?

I installed a PDF reader.
It allows attaching pdf files to my iPod and synching with iTunes.
But I don't use iCloud, still. I do all backups local to iTunes library.
However, it should work no matter where or what IF you have files attached to an app that allows files.
When I make changes to files attached to apps, they change and show under iTunes - tried renaming a file on the computer and changed on iPod.

Accessing saved PDF files

Have saved pdf files to creative cloud but ipad cannot see any files

I have saved pdf files from my Windows desktop to the Creative Cloud. They are visible there when accessed from my desktop. However when logging onto the Creative Cloud on either my iPad or iPhone it says there are "no documents to display".

I hope you're referring to the iWork program Pages for Macs since that is the forum you posted in. If you want to view Pages documents on your iPad, you'll also need to get Pages for iOS from the iTunes App Store. While you're doing that, also download the free iBooks app. There are other PDF readers, but I use iBooks.
You can use iTunes to sync documents between your Mac & your iPad. For PDFs you use File > Add to Library & they will appear under "Books." For Pages documents, you can use the File Sharing section of iTunes like in the screenshot below. You can also use iCloud.com to upload from your Mac but you will need to have your iPad connected to the internet to transfer the files from the cloud to the iPad.

Saved .pdf files won't open

On MacBook Air running OSX Mavericks I've saved .pdf files from the Web and from documents I've scanned. For many .pdf documents I get a dialog box that says, "Contact your computer or network administrator for assistance."
That's nice, but I'm the only one here. These are important documents I’ve saved for a reason. Any ideas how to get them open?

Thanks for the suggestion.
After more poking around I discovered the Sharing & Permissions setting in the Get Info dialog box were set to No Access. I have no idea how that happened, but next time I save a .pdf I'll find whether the setting is part of the Save As dialog or not.

Error while working and saving .PDF files from Illustrator CS 5.1

One of my partners has been facing issues while working with Adobe Illustrator PDF Files, especially while saving them. We've lost so many hours of work with these errors. We own an early 2009 iMac (MB418LL/A) running OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5). You can see the specs in this link:
iMac "Core 2 Duo" 2.66 24-Inch (Early 2009) Specs (Early 2009, MB418LL/A, iMac9,1, A1225, 2267) @ EveryMac.com.
She works with vectors and images, most of the time. At the moment, working on a Letter sheet sized magazine. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
This is the error shown: http://txs.io/Xnrb

Alvin,
Just to make sure: Where are you/is she saving?
Here it is always recommended to open/save AI documents from/to own harddisk, and to only copy from/to externals such as local server/whatever.
The reason is that with the latter, AI files tend to get corrupted sooner or later, so you may be lucky for a while but it hurts when your luck runs out.

Saving PDF File that allows..

I have created a few PDF files. When I open them in Adobe Reader to write in the text boxes I created it will not allow me to save what is written on the form.
How can I change it to where what I write is able to be saved so I can go back and finish up at a later time?
Thanks.

I would guess the Acrobat Reader says it all, the program is a reading program.
If you Acrobat Professional Version 8 Pro or Extended or Version 9 Standard, Pro, or Extended, then you could apply Extended Reader Rights to the PDF form for a form to be used by no more than 500 users. Above that level, you would need Live Cycle ES server.

Where are the saved pdf websites saved in the phone? (Galaxy S II)
