Cannot change the original document in preview

Hello

After upgrading to Sierra, I can no longer edit a document in preview mode before without making a copy. When I opened a pdf file of Evernote in the preview and change, I get the message, "the original document is not editable, so created a duplicate with your changes." I can't understand how to solve this problem. Any ideas, or is this a bug?

Preview continues to be a viewer and annotation tool, but it's not a PDF Editor. You can add multiple annotations and save the PDF file on itself and leave the preview. When you reopen the document, you can edit your annotations.

I can open a PDF form, enter some content in the fields of the form with preview and then save it back on itself. Reopen it in preview, I can change the content previously placed in the fields of the form. Still no offer to duplicate the PDF file.

Can't reproduce your problem with 9.0 and macOS Sierra 10.12.0 Preview (A 16, 323).

Do not use Evernote.

  • Change the Original Document

    Hi all

    I created a form in Illustrator, it aged like a PDF of AI and used Adobe Acrobat to create a form to fill out...  Is there a way I can change the original form of AI, namely: headers and footers without changing the PDF form fields.

    Thanks in advance, broadband

    What you do is create a new PDF. Open the old one that contains the fields in the form, and then replace the old pages with the new PDF. In Acrobat 11 you would select: Tools > Pages > replace

    How can I make a copy of my new convert pdf word document without losing the original document?

    Hi mariponce,

    What is the Word document you want to make a copy, or the PDF? In both cases, you can choose file > save as (in the appropriate application) and give the file a new name. For example, if you have a file named "HappyTimes.docx", you can choose file > save as and name the file "HappyTimes2.docx." Then you will have two Word files, and you can change one and leaving the others intact.

    Best,

    Sara

  • Cannot change the captions

    I have a form that was created by printing a worksheet excel to PDF, then we are changing in Livecycle ES - the form fields have been added.   However, we cannot change the captions for a group of radio buttons and options as insert text appear grayed out in the menu.   Is it just something weird about it because of how it was created?

    Sorry, I misunderstand the question.  When you import a PDF file (created from Word, Excel or any other application), you are presented with a dialog box that gives you two options... 'Create an interactive form with fixed pages' or 'create an interactive form with a fluid layout.  If you select the option 'fixed pages', a form is created where all the master key is represented as an image and cannot be changed, also, only form 'interactive' objects can be added to the form, such as fields, radio buttons, list boxes etc..  As you have noticed, the "non-interactive" objects like "static text", and "rectangles" are disabled.  In addition, the non-interactive properties such as captions (static text) are also disabled.  LC Designer is bahaving as expected, it is supposed to give the form designer a very accurate copy of the presentation of the original document.

    If you import a PDF file and select 'Create an interactive form with a fluid layout', the 'standard' of the original PDF is editable and properties of objects, and non-interactive form Explorer (legends, etc.) will be available.

  • You cannot change the format of the cursor

    Original title: mouse cursor

    Cannot change the format of the cursor; message says no file found - for example, C:\WINDOWS\Cursors\arrow\_rl.cur

    _rl.cur is not a slider that comes with XP. Nor is the folder named arrow. You must have installed a 3rd slider party system and I guess you are trying to change that.
    Try to reinstall it.

  • Cannot change the name of the file in the file properties.

    Original title: Cannot change the file properties

    Some downloaded files have a value in the box "title" under the details (after clicking Properties)
    I can't remove this 'title' and it appears so when I share the file on my network.
    The file is located on a portable hard drive, but I tried to move some files from problem to my office to see if I could solve these problems there, but nothing has worked.

    I already have
    -taking possession of the object
    -allows full control for all users
    -tried to use the "attrib - r + s' function
    -among other...

    I just want to know if there is a way to change the details of the file. On another windows help page it says something along the lines of "some attributes cannot be changed" I hope this isn't the case.

    Any help at all would be great, if no additional information is needed let me know.
    Thank you

    This information is set when the file is created.  Windows has no native ability to change.  You need a third party program.  For example, see link below.  Note that I have no idea if it's any good or works in Windows 7.  Gives you the link just to get an example of what to look for.

  • Flattening of the dynamic objects to the original document and keep their Hi-Rez detail detail

    Hello, I am under difficulties with ram collapse my Photoshop files, please let me know if this is how to use smart objects for their Hi-Rez details, change your object voluntarily collapse / compress in the original document while retaining all of your changes and detail Hi-Rez to save on ram? If If Yes, what is the procedure?  I searched everywhere on the net and have not found an answer to this question.  I'm under that Photoshop CS6 extended on OSX 10.9 Mavericks.

    Thank you, Warunicorn, I do understand that you lose the benefits of dynamic objects, I guess what I'm trying to ask is to make you lose the appearance that smart objects gave you when you group documents? For me if the image looks still even with objects with or without smart objects their pixelated it does not matter that smart objects or they aren't. I seek only the general appearance, is he always looks good as he has done with smart objects. ?

    Thank you for your help,

    When just flattening? Of course, they look alike. It's when you go to register in a particular format is where things start to get sticky. (As the backup format JPEG.)

  • Good for laptop - cannot change the ISP; keep returning to a previous provider

    Windows 7 laptop of my grandson, I'm migrating FIREFOX (excellent resource!) of my aging XP desktop. An existing Mozilla installation on the guarded device tries to connect to an ISP in Sydney (1000km) which kept out, I guess because the signal is too weak. Too far - on the Internet?

    Reinstalled my new ISP contact, reinstalled a fresh copy of Firefox, copied the old profile XP (just underneath the random string file name), but cannot change the fault. Firefox at startup tries to raise the old ISP (Sydney) and expires, and then allowing me to establish a manual connect with the ISP (my current) new.
    Perhaps a clue: in my Firefox troubleshooting info, change preferences, the browser start page is the address of 'old', with 'override mstone' ignore, what look like prints of registry entries, but I can't change all that - and maybe it's wise! An annoying secondary question: on arrival, the laptop listed no administrator user. So I am me came as an administrator, but I wonder if a past or current even Admin hidden could register (or other) entered resistant to change.

    Late discovery: the laptop is apparently infected with browser pirate btsearch.name. Search Google throws a series of removal procedures, and I'm now working through them.
    What Miss me?

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.
