Perhaps the PDF file was set to not allow saving. If the PDF file you’re viewing is on a web page, right-click the link and choose Save As, Save Target As, Save Link As or whatever similar wording your browser uses.

I have to submitt the FAFSA report as a pdf attachment. So when I opened the pdf file I can see my full FAFSA report. The company asked me to click on save to save it on my pc and then send it as an attachment. I’m running Vista Home Edition and I downloaded Adobe Reader 9.3 straight from their website. It came with something called “Adobe Air”, whatever that is. I have been able to save pdf files before, but this one, when I click on the icon for saving nothing appears ( the box for saving, that is ). I don’t know what to do …

@dl: I never had to output to a .prn file, rename to .ps and then import. Printing to the PDFCreator device makes the PDF file with no extra steps.

You forgot to mention to rename the .prn to .ps to open it with PDF creator then save to pdf

I recommend Foxit Reader – it allows you to save filled forms and add/edit bookmarks. I think it is also a little faster than Adobe, but I’m not sure.

That online service is OK for forms with data I don’t care about. But I wouldn’t use it for things such as tax return forms since the data goes to pdfescape’s servers.

Just something to keep in mind. :) Thanks for the info, Jay.
