1. click on the Edit tab

 

2. Click "Combine files"

 

3. Click "Add open files" (you just want to add the 135 error pdf)

 

4. Click "Combine"

 

5. You should get a Binder1.pdf that you can then save correctly, and will preserve all markup, comments, and editing that you did on the original, unsaveable PDF

The link is archived. I'm struggling with the same ( 135). Can you please upload an updated troubleshooting link.

Hi @Victor32432247bip5 

 

Hope you are doing well.

 

This is an indication for a corrupt PDF file. When you hold down the CTRL key when you click on the OK button, you will get a more technical explanation of the error. Please try to recreate the PDF from the original source file and see if that works.
