Hi,

 

Just having signed a document I am trying to save it but I get this error and it won't save it. I've tried renaming and saving but that doesn't work.

I can't see anything wrong and have signed a similar doc before with no problems.

Correct answer Stu Janis

I tried completing the form again and saving it before making the changes you suggested and for some reason, today it decided to save with no problem. No idea why.

Same issue here, except I'm using MacOS Mojave. It's an interactive form I downloaded from the federal government (Office of Personnel Management Form RI 20-7). It requires a hand signature, so signing wasn't an issue in my case. I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC v2019.010.20091

Hi Rosee and StuJanis,

As you get the "A number is out of range" error message, please try the steps provided below:

- Go to Acrobat Preferences > Documents (For Windows, go to Edit > Preferences > Documents)

- Uncheck the box for "Save as optimizes for the fast web view".

- Click on OK button at the bottom of the preferences window.

Check if that makes any difference.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,

Meenakshi
