Guest Christopher Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 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 Quote
Guest Dave Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 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@lambo.org> wrote in message news:4A00D509-ABF0-42D7-9871-22C98C21B7CA@microsoft.com...<span style="color:blue"> > 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 </span> Quote
Guest Christopher Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 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.

Guest t-4-2 Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Hello Christopher, Have you tried right click on the file, click Run As administrator, then save it to Documents or whichever ? -- t-4-2 Quote
Guest Christopher Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 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@unknown-email.com> wrote in message news:7ee71532e6416f4d69a675bdf239c14f@nntp-gateway.com...<span style="color:blue"> > > Hello Christopher, > Have you tried right click on the file, click Run As administrator, > then save it to Documents or whichever ? > > > -- > t-4-2 </span> Quote

Is there any particular reason why you are trying to save there and not in a created folder? Quote
Guest Christopher Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 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.
