Why cant I save some PDF files?

Why is it that for some PDF files under "Files" the "Save As..." function isnt working!

Ronda, Thanks again for your support. However, I would like to mention that doing it your way there is a particular issue. I have now realized it saves the document in question with the same file name, as the last document saved on that particular day, and not in the file name as you received te document!
This has a major implication, because you will not be able to quickly locate the document if you need it. The strange thing than is, you will discover the same document being listed in your "home account" Mac username folder in the file name as you receive it. I save all my documents that I donwload, into my download folder, and not into any other folder!
Do avoid this, one needs to specifically change / rename the document as one want it to be. But this greatly slows the speed of processing considering that few similar documents everyday!
Do you know a way to speed this process of saving PDF files, and only into one particular folder?

  • Why cant I save some pad files as pdf's in CS5

    I have a PSD file I cant "save as" a jpg, I alsi get nothing when I print it and save for web and devices is greyed out...

    Could it be you're using 32 bits/channel?
    If so, down convert to 16 bits/channel, then you should be able to print and save as a JPEG.

    Highlighting only works on text documents; a scanned document (image) cannot be highlighted.

  • Why cant I delete some Folders / Files transfered from external HD? to!

    I am trying to figure out why I cant delete some folders / files, that I transfered from an external HD to my Macbook!
    Some of these folder / files are text, video, and pic's based. Surely, going through those video / pics / text files, those I dont need anymore I would like to delete. Some of these appear to be deleted (in trash).  But few days later I do realize, that they were not delete, or only few of the deleted files were properly deleted!
    Why is this, this way - and how can I solve this issues! I just want to delete stuff either in form of folders or files, that I dont need anymore!

    How are you trying to transfer them? What kind of external device?

  • Why cant I save a cs4 file as cs5 in adobe flash cs5

    When ever I try to save a cs4 file as CS5 the adobe flash cs5 will stop responding for no reasons
    also, some times and only for some files when I save the cs4 file as uncompressed cs5 and then save that uncompressed cs5 to normal cs5 the conversion works and some times not.
    ofcourse any of the cs5 files cannot be saved as cs3 or cs2 for no reasons..
    p/s: microsoft office can be saved to any previous versions.. adobe should learn something from them..

    oops...posted this in the wrong thread.

  • Why cant I print a pdf file?

    I can no longer print a pdf file.  I cannot figure out what the problem is.  How can I check to make sure Adobe and Reader downloaded and installed correctly?

    Please provide some details: operating system, Reader version, online PDF?  Browser?  Error message?
    You write "a PDF"; so it's only one PDF you cannot print?  Is printing allowed in the document properties?

  • Why cant i play some avi files an other avi files work ?

    where can i get the codecs to watch avi files ? i can watch some avi files but not all why is that ?

    There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs (there are at least four that I'm aware of, none of which have been ported to Mac OS X) or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime. 
    If you want to try "hit and miss", Perian, which rolls several codecs into one package, might work. If not, you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you. Do not install both Perian and the DiVX/3iVX codecs at the same time. 
    If you just want to play the movie any way you can, you can also give this player a try:

  • Why cant textEdit save as .txt files?

    It does not save to plain .txt. Why?

    The text itself may be universal but the end-of-line characters are not. TextEdit on the Mac uses a line feed character (LF = 0x0A) as it's end of line character... the standard on Unix systems. Windows uses a combination of both a carriage return and a line feed (CRLF = 0x0D0A). It's the lack of the carriage returns that's causing the Windows machine to treat your text file as a single line. (Note that pre-OS X Mac apps used just a carriage return (CR = 0x0D) as their end-of-line character... so there are actually three variations you might run across).
    Some editors can deal with all three types of end of line characters and will also let you convert a file from one type to another. I'm not sure if TextEdit can do this. I believe the editor built into Xcode can though and probably BBEdit or TextWrangler. I'm sure there are probably some Windows editors that will also deal with different line endings.

    Why are pdf files opened automatically in iPad email?  I need to save the pdf file itself, so I can re-read them for later.  ANy fix.  Some pdf files I send are saved as pdf files unopened.

  • Hello, I have installed Reader, Adobe Acrobat, trial versions of Photoshop and Illustrator. Some more than once. They work for a few days at most then I am told to re-install. I cant look at any pdf file even though I can still see reader in my programs.

    Hello, I have installed Reader, Adobe Acrobat, trial versions of Photoshop and Illustrator. Some more than once. They work for a few days at most then I am told to re-install. I cant look at any pdf file even though I can still see reader in my programs. What is going on and what can I do to fix this?

    Unfortunately no, It says "Adobe not responding" as well when I try to open a pdf. It has done this a few times where I had to uninstall and reinstall. Also, Illustrator tells me to uninstall/reinstall as well.

  • Some PDF files will not display Why?

    When I try and display some PDF files they only open up a blank screen. Any ideas.

    I am having the same problem with Safari, I will save Adobe Reader to desktop quite it and try to open it again and get a blank and it telling me it doesn't recognize it. Then I copy it from Safari, and paste it into Firefox and it will open in Safari and anywhere it want to open it. I just use this instead of trying to open it again in Safari.

  • Why does reader freeze while opening some pdf files and others open instantaneously?

    I use pdf files created from CamScanner and shared from DropBox.  In DropBox, many times (over 50%) while opening the PDF the process freezes and the error message is Adobe Reader is not responding.  If you close the program, and re-open the file, it opens fine.  I have saved these files to my computer and the same issue occurs.  The files are 100-500kb, so I do not think size is the issue.  I have reinstalled Reader (11.1.10) and there is no improvement.

    This appears to have reduced the time to load a document.  Thanks Jimb      From: Anubha Goel <[email protected]>
