2. Re: Acrobat read-only error message
ChristyGTWE Nov 12, 2013 4:10 PM (in response to ittelligent)I am having the same issue. Acrobat X was working fine for me for months, then out of the blue, it starts having this problem TODAY! (There must be something about the month of November when people have this problem with Acrobat! )
Each time I open a PDF file in Acrobat and make an edit, (such as highlighting text or adding a link to a web page), I cannot save the file by the same name. I get the "read only" error message:
"The document could not be saved. The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder."
I installed the latest updates for Acrobat after this problem occurred, but the "read only" error message persists. In a previous thread, one person suggested turning off Acrobat's Protected Mode by going to Edit/Preferences/General and unchecking the Enable Protected Mode At Startup. I do not see this option in Acrobat X.
The only work-around I've found is to save the PDF file with a temporary name, then after making the edits in Acrobat, save the file as the original name that you wanted the file to be in the first place.
I'd rather not have to mess with work-arounds. I just want to make this problem go away. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
regards,

I cannot remember where I have found this suggestion but it worths a trial.

How would I do this? Where do I disable the preview function of pdf files? (Acrobat? Folder options?)
thanks

Sorry for previous ambiguity. Try to hide the preview pane in forlder (or folder options) and see whether this would help.
Cheers,
Archi
