What happened to "File > Save A Copy"?

[dianed97898145]

Hi!

I create fillable Reader Enabled pdfs. Up until this past update from Adobe there was a method to save a copy of the Reader Enabled pdf as a NOT Reader Enabled pdf. That function seems to have disappeared with this latest update.

There is a pop-up window in Adobe Acrobat that pops up, when using a Reader Enabled pdf and trying to make any change other than filling it in, that says:

"This document restricts some Adobe Acrobat features to allow for extended features in Adobe Acrobat Reader. To create a copy of the document that is not restricted (and has no extended features in Adobe Acrobat Reader), choose File > Save a Copy."

When I would do that, "File > Save A Copy", the copy would be fully-editable.

This pop-up message still appears now but with the update it seems like the "File > Save A Copy" option is gone, or moved and I can't find it.

Can someone please help me to accomplish the above?

Thank you SO MUCH!!

The instructions are correct. Have you opened the file copy?

Yes. It's still locked.

"The popup help is either incorrect or something else is wrong."

This popup says exactly what I told you above.

Also, you must be sure that this document is not an PDF-XFA made with Designer.

Can you share (part of) this document?

Where did you find a help popup related to Save a Copy?

I never saw it.

First, let me say that I haven't carefully sorted through this whole long thread, so if someone else has said this, I apologize. But I've been having the same problem with fillable forms. I finally found where "Save As" hides -- if you click on the Menu button in the upper lefthand corner of your screen, you will get a list that includes "Save As". FYI, it also includes "Recent Files", in case you have accidentally deleted a file you wanted to keep (like I did while trying to save it!).
