| I found a solution for Adobe Reader XI. Applicable to Windows XP and Windows 7. |
The following Adobe solution applies to the following operating systems:
Adobe XI Document Could Not Be Saved on a Windows XP or
a Windows 7 machine:
SOLUTION FOUND!
 |
| The document could not be saved. The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files is full |
This error message can happen (and does happen) with Adobe XI installed on a PC running Windows XP or Windows 7. Below is the solution:
You are using Adobe XI and you would like to make changes, then you try
to use File / Save As, to save it as a new PDF file. You receive the following
error message:
 |
| The document could not be saved. The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files is full |
The error message says: "The document could not be saved. The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files is full. Free some space on this disk and try again, or save to a different disk."
The SOLUTION begins here:
1. Close Adobe Reader XI. Use
File / Exit, to close Adobe Reader XI on your system.
2. Find the Adobe Reader XI program shortcut on your system.
If it's on your desktop, it might look like this:
3. Then, select the Adobe Reader XI icon and then
right-click and select '
Properties'.
 |
| The 'Properties' selection when you right-clicked the Adobe XI program shortcut |
Once you have selected '
Properties' you should see this dialog window with these tabs.
 |
| This is the program path (highlighted) for Adobe XI. Here, it's shown on a Windows XP computer. |
4. Click the '
Find Target' button.
Windows should find the target, which is called an 'executable' file.
If you have your settings to display file extensions, you likely will
see the extension 'exe' after the file's name. 'exe' stands for 'executable'
5.
Right-click the
AcroRd32 executable file (it is shown here in red) and
then select
Properties.
 |
| Right-click on the executable file AcroRd32 and select 'Properties' on the list. |
6. When you have selected 'Properties' from the list, you will then select
Compatibility Mode for
Windows 2000. (You should see Windows 2000 when you click the drop-down arrow.)
 |
| Adobe XI: set the Compatibility Mode to 'Windows 2000'. |
6. Make sure you select Compatibility Mode for
Windows 2000. (You should see Windows 2000 when you click the drop-down arrow.)
7. Then click
Apply, then click
OK.
8. Now, you are ready to use File / Save As, and then save the file with the same name, or with a different name. I typically change the file's name.
And now we're done! Yippettie Dooh Dah! (or was that Zippettie Dooh Dah?)
 |
| You did it! You solved the problem! Yay! |
