Why can't I save a pdf page?

Why does Apple disable the "SaveAs..." option when it comes to saving pdf web page? It didn't disable it in earlier versions? Most PDF files are publicly accessible downloadable files (not protected or have any intellectual property protection) not much different than any HTML files, so why does Safari disable the SaveAs option?
It is irritating that you have to use FireFox or other browser to save a simple file.
There are many other types of file that Safari disabled the SaveAs option, such as audio and video file format.

Is this Safari 3 or Safari 4?
You have to wait for the PDF to be 100% loaded before the Save As option is available.

Why can't I save a PDF from email to my Photostream?

I'm trying to save a PDF image from my email (accessed on my iPhone) to my Photostream so I can message it. So far it only lets me open in iBooks, which doesn't allow me to save to my phone from there either (unless I"m missing something).
I want to message a PDF because I'm hoping the text within the PDF image will be able to be highlighted (the text is an email address).
---- Is there a way to save a PDF format to Photostream to be able to message it?
---- Also, does anyone know for sure what format allows text to remain live or highlightable for copying/pasting?
Thanks so much for your help!

Not true. I add PDF screen shot clippings to Photostream from the Finder all the time. You can do this via iPhoto or Aperture. I created a "Work" photostream to which I add clippings and PDF documents from the Finder so that I have access to them across all my laptops and iOS devices.

Why can't I save a home page in Yosemite?

I have tried several times to save a home page in the preferences folder, but Yosemite reverts to its own search engine.

Since installing maverick, why can't I save anything in pages?

Since installing Maverick, I can't save anything to pages. That includes amended documents and new ones. What's the solution?

I just found the answer, I think. In Safari > Preferences > Security under Internet Plugings, click the "Manage Websites" button. Find Silverlight and select it to run in "Unsafe Mode."

Why can't I save a PDF

After updating to the current version of reader the ability to save PDFs I am viewing has essentially gone away. This is horribly and completely unacceptable.
For a while clt shift s seemed to work; but even that no longer seems to work.
How and I save a PDF I am viewing from an online source? This seriously needs to be in the main stream of right click, and any other approaches to a PDF. There is minimal utility to viewing but not being able to save.
Using Win 7 64 bit and Firefox.
The problem seems to be confined to Firefox. I downloaded the same file with IE and was able to save it using clt/shift s. Just like I used to be able to do (a week or so ago, maybe) with Firefox. And as far as I know I have not updated anything related to Reader. Might be related to a Firefox add-on update.
It is stupid that I have to use those keyboard shortcuts to do something that was always avaialble on the Reader screen; but now even those shortcuts don't work. Adobe really has never gotten used to the idea that Windows exists. They certainly have disdained the common usage rules of Windows. Like download/update etc. But this sucks a lot.
Short note to Adobe - user accounts should not be the email address and then have the user name as another field. The account needs to be under the user name. If you insist in doing this your way, at least display the fact that you, among very few other net sources, use the email address when presenting the login screen. That IS NOT the same as user ID.
Yall just don't get it. Hire a Windows person. Please. Please.
Do not assume I think Windows is superior in any way except market domination.
Keep in mind, this is my PC; not yours.

Why can't I "save as" a page in Dreamweaver without the layout staying in place?

Hi,
I'm using Dreamweaver 5.5 on a Mac. When I "save as" my template page ends up all out of order, for instance, the horizontal menu ends up vertical which distorts the whole page. This only happens in Dreamweaver for the Mac. I am using a template by Project Seven Developers and it works fine on a PC. Does anyone use these templates or have problems "saving as" another file?
Desperately need help!
Thanks
Marilyn

Glad it worked. I knew it would
If we designed products based on Dreamweaver's rendering capabilities,
we would be doing pretty primitive stuff - much like what Adobe does for
its starter pages and such
Column Composer Magic uses what's called a Design Time style sheet,
which is a Dreamweaver feature that allows a style sheet to be used just
by Design View. It is not used on the web by browsers. We use this style
sheet to dumb down our CSS to Dreamweaver's rendering capabilities.
When you do a File - Save As, the connection between the original page
and the DT style sheet, which is carried in an Adobe Notes file, is not
rolled over to the new file. We have no way to prevent this. What we can
do, as covered in our user guide, is to allow you to run our interface
on your new page. When you do so, a new connection is made between the
DT style sheet and your page.
We are looking into different ways to deal with this, while continuing
to hope Adobe finally modernizes Dreamweaver's Design View each year.
It's only been about 12 years, so we are still hopeful.
Seriously, in most other respects beyond Design View, Dreamweaver has
advanced very well. Unfortunately, a lot of designers associate
Dreamweaver's Design View with their actual design and wind up severely
limiting themselves.

Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 8, for the simple reason it was
created much before it and Adobe could not participate the changes to the
OS that Microsoft implemented many years later on. You need to buy the
current version for compatibility.

Why can't I save text I've entered into a PDF file? When I hit "Save As", only the PDF document is saved, but not the text i typed into the document. I'm using Windows 8.

I have an iMac(mid2010) running Pages v5.5.1 on OS X 10.10. Why can I not save or share documents. The error message is You can’t save the file “TEST.pages” because the volume is read only.
I get the same message when using Numbers so I presume it is a OS problem

Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

What happen ?why can't i print a pdf any longer ?? very very frustrated uninstalled reinstalled 3 times ??????????

What happened ? Why can I no longer print PDF on my mac pro???????? Uninstalled reinstalled 3 times very very frustrated

I cant print anything now from my computer to my hp printer. Never had this happen until November or December. Then it seemed to be OK. now today I cant print one thing. not from my gmail, or the Matrix portal I use as a realtor. My office partner is connected to the same printer and his is fine. Mine prints nothing. All I get is a print screen that says loading preview... and the .. keep moving and nothing ever shows up. If I try to to to a PDF (which is the only way we could print anything after some update last fall from the Matrix portal) it just spins ... and nothing happens . WE use to be able to print without having to save everything to a download and that changed. now I cant print anything. I need help fast.... I can't get my work done at all and I'm getting very frustrated.
I uninstalled the adobe reader and re-installed it and nothing helps. We have 2 others printers in our office and it wont let me print to them either or allow me to save it as a PDF so I can print it out that way.;
I need HELP!!! Can't work this way and not sure what happened to cause this problem as things were fine earlier today.

Why can't i save the same bookmarks in different locations?

Why can't I save a bookmark for a particular site in multiple locations? If I already have it saved, for instance, in the bookmarks menu, and I then try to save an additional copy into the bookmarks folder, the copy in the bookmarks menu will disappear. This is incredibly frustrating. Thanks.

Using the "star" at the right end of the Location bar, you can only save to one location.
Using the Bookmark Sidebar (CTRL+B opens and closes the Bookmarks Sidebar), you can drag the icon at the left end of the Location Bar to other locations, one at a time, into a folder (will be placed at the bottom of the items already in the folder) or into any position, including a position within a folder. The image below demonstrates; the image is old, but the method still works. This is the only method that I use for Bookmarking, as I place some Bookmarks in multiple folders and I keep the Bookmarks Sidebar open most of the time for easier access.

Why can't i save contacts

why can i not save contacts ??
and on settings, 'mail,contacts and calendars' - i can not access this page ????

When you zoom you're not chnaging the image at all, just looking at more closely, like using binoculars. Using binoculars doesn't actually bring the object closer. So with zooming. I think you might want to explore cropping.

Why can't I save Tab Groups from one session to the next? When I restart, tab groups are cleared.

Why can't I save Tab Groups from one session to the next? Is there a way to save Tab Groups from the last session to the next time I start up?
Mark Kipperman

Yeah, if this is the way it's supposed to work its a useless and, dare I say, stupid "feature". Wouldn't the whole point of this be to have quick access to groups of pages. If I have to select them each time to create the group what is it doing for me?

In the new iphoto app, why can't i save multiple images to camera roll at once?

why can't i save multiple images to camera roll at once? it seems i can only save one at a time and its very frustrating..
the options seem to be there, they are just greyed out and i cant click on them.
at first i thought its because the images were too big, so i tried it with smaller images but same thing.
APPLE HELP!

I can confirm @khaniff's original post the option in iPhoto for iOS is greyed out in conflict with the referenced article that follows:
Save to the Camera Roll
Tap a photo, album, or event and tap .
Tap Camera Roll.
Confirm or change the photos you want to share by tapping an option.
Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
Select a range of photos: Tap Choose, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
To use your photo in another app, open the app and select the Camera Roll album.
