Question

Can you please help me to save an existing PDF as a PDF?????

When I open a PDF that was created in a scan on my main computer and want to re-save it to a different file by hitting "save," I get a blank screen. I am unable to save a PDF as a PDF. That means that I cannot store it as a PDF at all unless I use one of the options, such as making it an archivable PDF. Any ideas, World?

I can't speak with certainty on a PC but on a Mac you have both the option of "Save" followed by "Save as..." The latter option will let you save that file to any other location you want as well as to change the name of the file while selecting a new location.

Is that what you're looking for?

Let us know,

When the file is opened it means it already exists on your computer, even if as a temporary file only.

You can find its current location by going to File - Properties - Description and looking at the Location value.

If you click it, an explorer window will open to that folder, and that file will be selected.

Go to Edit (or the application menu if you're on a Mac) - Preferences - General and disable "Show online storage when saving files" and "Show online storage when opening files".
