So who created the pdf (and what version of adobe may have been used) doesn't seem to make a difference.Before starting this procedure, it is recommended that all open documents have been saved and any open applications have been closed.ġ. OR if its a document from someone else from email we'll open it, date and sign the pdf, then SAVE the final version. So if it's our document we'll draft it in WP, SAVE as a pdf, then edit the pdf by inserting a signature and SAVE again as a finalized pdf version. We use Word Perfect X9 for word processing. FYI Windows 10 came with this computer and regularly get updates for it and Adobe. Have tried to analyse if it works best SAVING via the FILE menu option of SAVE AS, or selecting the toolbar SAVE, or any other alternative steps we can think of to change around - but nothing seems to be a permanent fix and know of several others with the same issue. At which point we relent to the old ways of printing the original unedited file, signing/dating the hard copy, then scan it back in to have a final pdf version to email back. But eventually after signing/editing a few documents, CLOSING, then saving the edited version to our harddrive Adobe will once again freeze up during the SAVE process, won't clear itself, so we have to shut down again. But when it takes 2 or 3 times and it's still freezing we've restarted the computer as that seems to clear Adobe Reader for awhile and allow it to work properly.


Sometimes we'll use TaskManager to End Task for adobe, then going back in and editing the document a second (or third) time then selecting SAVE again will work. Just keeps spinning and spinning and not proceeding.

After selecting CLOSE, then SAVE, it freezes between the action of selecting SAVE and moving on to the list of folders in which to save it.

We have the problem of freezing when trying to save a file after editing.
