'You do not have permission to write this file' message appearing

The purpose for "enable typewriter in reader," when using Adobe Acrobat 7 or 9 is to change the font size, etc.  A potential solution is:

1.  Close the document in which you want to type.  Save it.

2.  Go to MS Word.  Create a 1 page document with a title like "solution for my important file."  Save in MS Word.  Then "save as" a PDF document.  You will see that this PDF file is fully editable with the typewriter.

3.  In your "solution for my important file," click the left pane --> click on the page icon --> right click on the thumbnail of your document --> click insert --> select your important file --> save the file.

4.  Alternatively, go to the menu bar --> click "Document" --> select "insert pages" --> insert the important file.  Save the file.

5.  After completing your edits, delete the first "dummy" page.

This could be a solution for many persons seeking to type into governmental and business PDF forms.  Adobe is defeating earlier versions of Adobe Acrobat.

Hello I'm also having an issue with one our employees that's using Adobe X Pro and is getting this error msg?  Is that version still even receiving updates?  She said it was working for her last week and it just started giving her the error earlyi this week.   Any propose fix for that version?

What version of Acrobat does you use?

Hi @AndyD_1965 

Thanks for reaching out.

Have you experienced this behavior with a particular file while saving it as Reader Extended PDF? Or it's with the particular file?

Would you mind checking with a different file, as it could be the document's security issue?

Open PDF>Right Click>Document's security>Document's restriction summary

Alos, try disabling the following setting and check back.

Navigate to Reader>Edit>Preferences>Security (Enhanced)>disable  "Enhanced Security">OK>Reboot Reader

Thanks,
