Saving PDF Files

The one circumstance in which you can save an updated document is when the PDF file is enabled with usage rights. Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional users can enable PDFs with usage rights for the purposes of comment and markup. Enterprises may use the affordable Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions to add usage rights for saving form data and adding digital signatures in addition to adding comment and markup. When any of these usage rights have been added to a PDF file, both a Save command and a Save As command appear in the File menu.

If you don't have a file with usage rights enabled, use the hawaiiNewsletter.pdf file from www.peachpit.com/adobereader7.

To save a file from Adobe Reader:

1.	Open a PDF document that's been enabled with usage rights for Adobe Reader, or open the hawaiiNewsletter.pdf document. Note: If the file you open doesn't have usage rights enabled, the Save command won't appear in the File menu.
2.	Make your edits to the document. If the file is enabled for comment and markup, try adding a comment to the file.
3.	Select File > Save or press Ctrl/Command+S. The file is updated. Note that no dialog opens when you select the Save command.
