saving pdfs

i am increasingly frustrated by the inability to save items that are pdfs. for example, i use bankruptcy software that prepares the petition and allows me to view it as a  pdf. before all of these changes  to adobe, i had NO problem  whatsoever saving it as a pdf and emailing it to my clients for them to review before filing. NOW, it is as if my only option is printing 60+ pages and scanning them or emailing them a link. there has to be a way to get back to the old adobe when i could simply "save" or "save as." someone help please!
