Acrobat DC forces Save As

I'm on Acrobat Reader DC 2015.010.20059, Windows 10 10586.104, and saving my PDF's into a synced Google Drive folder.

I'm filling out forms that were created in Acrobat for Word.

From time to time, I'll make small changes to an open form, then when I go to save it, or close it (which prompts for a save) Acrobat forces me to Save As, instead of simply save the filled out form. Sometimes stuff gets overwritten with this Save As stuff, and I end up appending a .2 to the end (and so on) to avoid overwriting other documents with the Save As.

Why would Acrobat insist on Save As vs a regular Save if I've only made small changes to an open document?

thanks, drew

No dice there. Looks like other folks have been having this problem too.

I have run into the same issue, and it is very frustrating, never mind how impractical and unproductive it makes normal work!! My machine is running windows 7 professional SP1 and running Acrobat DC 2015.020.20039. This 'unable to simply save a file in its current location' only started after the upgrade to this version.

This is the only post i have found addressing this specifically. So hopefully this helps you and/or someone else down the line.... i have since downgraded to Acrobat Reader 10.1.4 from oldversion.com. So far it has been a far better option than the latest version of Reader DC.

Adobe, please fix this or let us know what the secret handshake is to fix it!
