Okay...

I FINALLY managed to locate and download the OLDER version of Adobe Reader -  ver 8.0 -  and that WORKED!

I have Windows Explorer 8 and Vista Home Premium 64 bit on two pcs. I can save all downloaded pdf files on one, but can't save my bank statements and credit card statments on the other. I can save pdf files that aren't from protected sites. I have installed all updates to no avail.

I can save my bank statements if I turn off the protected mode, but can't get in to my credit card accounts with the protected mode off.

I discovered the same problem after getting a new computer running Win7 64bit, Office2010, Adobe 9.4.0 MUI...Microsoft store installed the latest Adobe Reader version.  I don't know what MUI is, stands for, etc... All I know, is until I got this new computer, I could open any pdf and do a 'save as'...and now I can't! Is there a solution here Adobe???

Yes, that is exactly what I did and still nothing.  The save option had disappeared from both the web based reader as well as the desktop one.  I went into the settings and changed it for the desktop one to bring back the save option.  I even restarted my pc after that to see if it will have any effect on the web based one.  But nothing.  This is getting really frustrating now

For me, the problem is present in both IE and Chrome.  My OS - Win 7  32 bit.

I was having same problem with inability to save from some sites - especially utility statements.  I had Adobe Reader 9 and just upgraded to Reader X.  When I open statements online now, I CAN save them as pdfs.  You don't see the "normal" pdf menu (like the Save icon) but if you go to the top menu, you can do a Save As.

Vista, IE 7.

  i have this problem too,i don't know what happen .internet explorer or the Adobe??

My problem got resolved by uninstalling all Adobe components, restarting the

machine and giving a fresh start to installing the Adobe components.

Now everything is working fine

No tool bars, menus etc show up, just the form.  The mouse turns into a hand and has either an up arrow or down arrow depending on whether you've moved to the last section of the form or back to the top.  Right-click, or left-click, either one only moves you to another section of the form; you don't get a related menu, options, or anything else that is helpful.

Although not a direct solution, I found a solution today.  In the source of the PDF (before opening pdf.) right click on download link, & select save as to your desired location.  It's an end around, but it works.  It would be nice if Adobe would address this issue.  My files are supposed to be printable according to the properties in the PDF Reader.

I had the problem of not being able to save some PDFs opened in IE8 using Adobe Reader X ("save" button was greyed out on the toolbar); also tried upgrading to IE9 (running on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, but had the same problem running in XP virtual mode).  It seems that PDFs open using an Adobe Plug-in rather than the full program by default.  To solve the problem, I opened up the Adobe Reader, went to "edit", "preferences", then unchecked the "display PDF in browser" box of the "internet" tab.  Now when opening a PDF in IE, the "save" icon is still greyed out, but since the full Reader is open I have the toolbar at the top and can click on "file", "save as".  (Note in IE9, when you click on the PDF link you will first be asked if you want to open or save.  If you just chose "save" the document will automatically be placed in your "downloads" folder).  I hope this helps someone!

I also have this problem.  I get around it by printing the file as a PDF, but it's incredible that Adobe has not fixed this issue.

I go to   Edit>Preferences>Internet   and uncheck the box that says Display PDF in Browser. However, once I leave the preferences, it automatticaly goes back to a check in that box. I can't find any APPLY or similar button to make the uncheck stick. Any suggestions?

Kudos to AL the MN Realtor!!! I was frustrated by the exact issues of being unable to save plus being unable to access the properties on my network printer using the embedded Adobe with Explorer 9, Adobe Reader 9.4 in Windows 7 64bit. I did as mentioned above adding the siteI was having troubles with to the trusted sites list and Voila!! works like a charm! Two thumbs up.

Some one helped me to identify my problem - I post it here and maybe it could be useful for someone else.

Quoted from the help:

====================================================================== =======

Is your Display setting set to "Make text and other items larger or smaller > Larger - 150%" (Win7: Control Panel >  Appearance and Personalization > Display > Make text and other items larger or smaller > Larger - 150%)?  If it is, then try the following:

1. Launch Reader

2. Choose Edit > Preferences > General > uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at startup"

===================================================================== =====

This was exactly what you expected! After I did what you suggested, it works now! My many thanks for your suggestion.

Following this, I have to change the display setting to 125%. This change solves everthing: inactive toolbars within IE9 as well as the blurry font problem of Adobe Reader outside of IE9!!!!

Do you have any further solution to the problem associated with 150% display setting? If yes, it would be my bonus - my sight reading needs larger fonts. Otherwise, I can live with the 125% setting.
