PDF files that I used to be able to edit to are now suddenly read-only. Across the top bar, it says "The file you have opened complies with the PDF/A standard and has been opened read-only to prevent modification." How do I change that so I can make edits? Under Security Properties, it says Signing and Filling Forms is allowed. I have Adobe Reader X.

Correct answer Bernd Alheit

In the preferences of Adobe Reader disable the PDF/A mode.

There is nothing to take tense about it is very simple to make it editable. If in some you can edit it, you convert your pdf file into doc file by online. You can do it by many tools such like Smallseotool, smallpdf.com and ilovepdf.com are remarkable.

I've suddenly developed the same problem.

When I open a PDF file, I used to be able to save my comments on that file. Now, my Adobe only allows me to save it under a new name. I do not want different versions of the same document. I want one document with all the different comments.

I've changed the preferences as suggested in previous posts.

It hasn't made a difference.

I urgently need help with this problem
