Chapter 5: Saving and exporting PDFs

You can save your changes to an Adobe® PDF or PDF Portfolio in the original PDF or in a copy of the PDF. You can
also save individual PDFs to other file formats, including text, XML, HTML, and Microsoft Word. Saving a PDF in
text format allows you to use the content with a screen reader, screen magnifier, or other assistive technology.
If you don't have access to the source files that created an Adobe PDF, you can still copy images and text from the PDF
to use elsewhere. You can also export the PDF to a reusable format, or export images in a PDF to another format.
Adobe Reader® users can save a copy of a PDF or PDF Portfolio if the creator of the document has enabled usage rights.
If usage rights are enabled, Reader users can also save comments, entries in form fields, or digital signatures that they
have added to a document. If a document has additional or restricted usage rights, the document message bar under
the toolbar area describes the assigned restrictions or privileges.

Saving PDFs

Save a PDF
Use this method to save PDFs, including PDF Portfolios, and PDFs in which you have added comments, form field
entries, and digital signatures.
Reader users can save PDF Portfolios, comment, fill in forms, and use digital signatures only when the PDF creator
has extended additional rights to Reader users. Reader users can save files in PDF or .txt format.
Note: Saving a digitally signed PDF invalidates the signature.
