Conflict files / Multiple files save

[Alexander37952205uah9]

every time I make edits to a pdf and save it, adobe saves it as a new seperate file. How can I fix this?

Go to the application Preferences and disable everything that's selected under the "Security (Enhanced)" tab.

Will I then save the file or will it automatically do it? The only option I have on the app is "save a copy" which the forces me to create a new file.

That usually means the file has the Extended Reader Rights applied to it, which prevents editing it in some ways. Saving a copy of it removes those rights.

Either that or the file itself is set as Read-Only.

Ok. They are pdf books that I have downloaded. I am only  but not editing them. Essentially, I am just looking to do that across my iPad and laptop. Do you know how to change the file from read only?
