Error msg 14

Question

This situation is typical of hundreds of PDFs on computer.  I have a book in PDF about 225 pages, which I annotate constantly (presently 583 comments) and bookmark (about 140).  I am now getting an error message 14.  I have had problems saving other files, but in the past it always worked the second or third try.   I am now using Acrobat (Pro DC) on Mac.  If the problem is with Comments, then I am screwed, because I need to keep the comments separate from the content of the text (for example, some PDFs are of medieval manuscripts, where I need not to alter the source image), so using Edit would not help.  What do I do to save the file and years of work, and to continue working on this PDF?  Do I have to give up a successful research practice of 15 years?
