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

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

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.

Hello Christopher,

Have you tried right click on the file, click Run As administrator,

then save it to Documents or whichever ?

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.

It's not advisable to save to the root of the C drive. Is there any

particular reason why you are trying to save there and not in a created

folder?

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.
