| | Unable to save I am 'printing to pdf' to save a web page in that format. I get the following error message C:\filename.doc You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission. Would you like to save in the 'username' folder instead? When I click on YES, I get the same error but with the 'username' in the address. I am administrator OS is Vista Business Acrobat is 8.1 Standard |

| | Re: Unable to save Vista doesn't want you to save files into the root (C:\) folder. It doesn't matter if you have an admin account. Try saving to a different folder, like C:\PDF or C:\Users\youraccount\Documents -- Vista Home Premium 32 SP1 http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview "Christopher" <chrissie@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:4A00D509-ABF0-42D7-9871-22C98C21B7CA@xxxxxx Quote: > I am 'printing to pdf' to save a web page in that format. > I get the following error message > > C:\filename.doc > You don't have permission to save in this location. > Contact the administrator to obtain permission. > > Would you like to save in the 'username' folder instead? > > When I click on YES, I get the same error but with the 'username' in the > address. > I am administrator > > OS is Vista Business > Acrobat is 8.1 Standard |

| | Re: Unable to save Thanks for your response Dave but Vista won't let me save it anywhere !!! I get the same error message wherever I try to save it. I do hope that it's not another AVG 8.0 problem. "Dave" <dave@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:uUZupimvIHA.3680@xxxxxx Quote: > Vista doesn't want you to save files into the root (C:\) folder.

| | Re: Unable to save Hi t-4-2 That does not really apply as I am 'printing to pdf' so the file does not exist until you have told it where it will be saved. 2-4-t "t-4-2" <guest@xxxxxx-email.com> wrote in message news:7ee71532e6416f4d69a675bdf239c14f@xxxxxx-gateway.com...

| | Re: Unable to save As I responded above, it makes no difference where I tried to save - created folder, desktop, etc - the error remained. My solution has been, as I suspected UAC was to blame, to either turn off protected mode altogether [not a good idea] or to place the web site from where I wished to save a pdf, in Trusted Sites. This worked. Any pdf created from a trusted site [protected mode off] saved without problems.
