Can't save (overwrite). Forced to "save as" every time

I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro. I used to have the ability to scan and save a document as a pdf file. Then edit that saved document and re-save as the same file name. I recently got a new computer and re-downloaded the program. Now every time I make changes to a document, I cannot simply "save". It forces me to "save as" every time (thus, creating a 2nd file). I'm sure I'm just missing something in the settings but I can't find it.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Pam

Go to the Edit menu (or under the Acrobat menu on a Mac computer) - Preferences - Security (Enhanced) and uncheck the "Enable Enhanced Security" box, as well as "View in Protected Mode", "Run in AppContainer" or anything else with a similar name.

    Thank you for the suggestion, but that didn't work. I even re-booted  afterward and ran the "repair installation". Still getting this msg:

    Here is what my security (enhanced) screen settings show:

    Yes, I have the preview pane on. I'll have to test that theory (and yes, silly that the program would think that, but not silly for suggesting it - thanks!)


    Let us know if it works.  I get the same error as you do when this the preview pane is on and I'm on the document I'm trying to save.
