cant save my PDF the way I did before....it has an editing toolbox around it and I dont want that

I'm really not tech savvy ....I just want my old PDF files back without that stupid editing toolbar

If I understand you correctly, you want to see the top menu (File, Edit...etc) and the tool menu on the right side of your pdf files when you open them?

If so, be sure you are opening them in Reader the you can toggle them on and off using your F8 and F9 keys.
