Acrobat Reader DC will not save files

[albertalligator]

WIndows 7 running on a virtual box VM on Ubuntu 16.04

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 15.017.20053.63404 downloaded today, 2016 Aug 7

I spent several hours today filling in the FBAR report. When I push the save button, or control+s or alt+FS or alt+FA, I get a blank window with "Save As" in the upper left corner, and a close button at the upper right. Repeated tries yield nothing. The report must be saved in order to be filed.

Ideas for saving the file?

Hi albertalligator ,

Please try the following steps:

1. Launch Acrobat Reader DC.

2. Navigate to Edit>Preferences>Security(Enhanced)>and select OFF option for Protected view and also uncheck the option " Enable protected view at startup".

3. Click OK

Let us know if this helps .

My first desire is to save the file; I don't want to redo the form. This has been unsuccessful so far, and may be impossible. Document properties/advanced shows protected mode is on.

I selected OFF for startup, and reconsidered when the protected mode buttons turned gray. The protected view button was OFF; I changed to "all files" and back to OFF, to reset existing switches. Then I again turned the startup off.

No help, still can't save the file. Probably it would work if I reopened the file, but I would lose my work.

The help shows an option message on loading the file. Can I reset this option somehow?

The Save As function does not show the contents of documents attached to emails. Instead I get the same empty Save As window as mentioned by Albertalligator previously. Note, this is a new development within the last week.

My system crashed for non-acrobatic reasons. So, I have to redo the form.

On the redo, Acrobat saved the file correctly.

Acro is working ok now. Could I have saved the file?

Thanks,Sarojini.

Hi paulo65358095

If you are still experiencing the same issue, please got to Edit menu> Preferences> General and unmark the box for "Show online storage when saving files" .

Click OK to save settings and relaunch the application.

Make sure that the application is updated to the latest patch released.

Let us know if it helps.

Thank U ​so much!  I had been frustrated by my desktop PC's inability to save commented files, even tho both my desktop a few months ago and my laptop now (with the same Win 10 release of Reader DC) could do it.  Some glitch had turned on the unwanted view on my desktop, w/o my knowledge.

After starting in protected view, the desktop did not even issue an error msg when I tried to save a commented file.  The where-2-save window just displayed blinking icons forever.  This is a bug in the implementation of protected view in release 2015.017.20053 -- there should be a forthright error msg.  A warning msg at protected startup would be nice too.
