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

Where you are going to "Save" change the file location there, rather than

have Vista prompt you for it. And make sure you are saving it in the folder

for the user you are logged in as.

It seems to make no difference which folder I select, including desktop -

the error message repeats !

I am the sole user of the machine

Christopher,

Agreed. I see the same thing. MS says that our disk drive was formatted

under XP and that we need to reformat our root drive using Vistas NTFS. How

stupid a suggestion is that? Does it make you think that the MAC commercials

are correct?

Just in case you didn't see MS stupidity:

I will keep searching for the answer and will get back with you. If you

find the answer first, please let me know. I am a Vista power user and use it

constantly.

Okay, Christopher, I have a work around.

This may actually be an Adobe Acrobat problem, since they provide the Adobe

PDF print driver.

I also own the PDF995.com PDF software (it's free). PDF995 provides its own

print driver (PDF995). This work without a hickup.

I may put in a ticket with Adobe and will let you know.

Okay, I have the definitive answer.

It is an IE Microsoft and Adobe Acrobat problem. You can fix it in IE, but

you compromise security to some degree. You will be able to print just fine

after you do this:

Disable Protected Mode in Internet Explorer.

1. In the Control Panel, open Internet Options.

2. Go to the Security tab.

3. Uncheck Enable Protected Mode for the security zone covered by the page

you are printing.

4. Close all Internet Explorer windows.
