Saving pdf's with highlights and annotations

New Here ,
Jul 11, 2024 Jul 11, 2024

I am using adobe acrobat reader. I want to save my pdf file in adobe acrobat after making a bunch of annotations (using the drawing pen) and highlights, but it keeps asking me "save as" instead of "save". Every time I use the ctrl+s command, or even after deliberately going to the menu and selecting the "save" option, it just asks me to "save as", which means it is not allowing me to simply over-write on my pdf and asking me to "save as" the pdf as a new pdf. In that case, I would already have 1000s of pdfs on my system. This is such an inconvenience! Just to give you some actual tested data, when I earlier used MS Edge for editing using their in-build recently launched editing function, it was a simple one step ctrl+s and done! Much easier! Why does adobe want me to - first ctrl+s, then go to file location, the save the file in that same folder, then windows asks me "do you want to replace the file in the destination" and then click on yes. What a stupidity! And then when I google my problem, then I get some weird - "go to preferences, do this do that nonsense". If anybody from the adobe team is reading this, then please inform to your seniors regarding this and get it solved. If there exists a temporary solution, the please provide.

This is the solution. Have you tried it?

Hi

I wanted to follow up on my previous post regarding the issue I was having with Acrobat Reader's 'Save' functionality. I'm thrilled to report that I've found a solution that works for me, thanks to your suggestion.

 

However, I do want to politely suggest that Adobe could improve the user experience in this regard. As you know, I had to dig deep into the settings and disable the 'Protected View' on startup just to get the 'Save' function working as expected. While I appreciate the added security, it would be great if there was a more intuitive way to address this issue.

 

In any case, thank you for your help in resolving my problem. Your assistance was invaluable, and I appreciate the time you took to respond.
