Question

"Error occurred when trying to access this service" When trying to save to Document Cloud

Hey Guys,

I'm using the current version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, the free, non-pro version. It's the latest version of the software (Ver: 2015-017-20053). I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64x. I have an account, and each day I see my name in the upper right-hand corner. When I click the pull-down triangle next to my name, it shows two options, My Account and Log Out. I'm reading a PDF Textbook that is password protected against copying. The only changes I'm making to the PDF are highlighting some text and adding sticky notes. I can easily save the changes (highlight passages as I read the book) locally to my hard drive. That's not the problem now.

So, now that we've set set up the background, here's my problem:

About 80% of the time over the past month when I try to save the PDF to the Document Cloud, I receive the message "Error occurred when trying to access this service". I've tried various ways to save the PDF; clicking the little cloud with arrow, (Shift+Control+W) and I even try going to File and Save As then choosing Document Cloud. But none of them work. I can log out and log back in, and I still receive the error message. And it's always after I've watched the grey progress bar "Saving to Adobe Document Cloud" progress from 1% slowly up to 100%, then "Virus Scanning...", then the error message appears or the "Saved Successfully". As I've said, must of the time it's the error message. I think the issue might be at Adobe with their virus scanning software as when the saving progress bar reaches 100% and the "Virus Scanning..." only flashes quickly, I get the error message. If the Virus Scan runs for about 5-10 seconds, I'll know the document has been successfully saved to the cloud.

I've tried logging out and back in and also uninstalling and reinstalling. I still have issues saving to the Document Cloud.

Any help you can give would be appreciated

Thanks,

Steve

Terrific product you have here, Adobe.

Are you wondering why I won't pay for the Pro version? Of course peon users of simple products always get the shaft.
