You don't have permission to save in this location.
Contact the administrator to obtain permission.
Would you like to save in the %USERPROFILE% folder instead? Yes/No" Note: %USERPROFILE% = C:\Users\MyUserName\
- Given that I am the Administrator, this message is very annoying.
- Solution: To open MSIE, right-click on its shortcut and select "Run As Administrator". You will now be able to use MS-Internet Explorer to print a Webpage to a PDF file anywhere on any drive.

- You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers. You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.
- Renewal is not possible before the end of the Adobe CC subscription. Wait for the subscription to end, then renew.
- Adobe Creative Cloud - download
- Adobe Canada
- Renewal. After renewing the subscription by using your new activation/redemption code, you must sign out of CC and log in again. This causes your computer's CC installation to sync with the Adobe server. If you don't do this, you will get errors.

- Able2Extract | PDF Converter, Convert PDF to Excel, Word Conversion. Free 7-day Trial. - USD$130 | Thanks to Paulina Gibson for recommending this site.
- Aside from all other distinguishing features, this Pro version offers the advanced OCR technology for the maximum quality of any newly converted document which source was a scanned PDF file.
- Please keep in mind that OCR recognition is an automatic algorithm and that sometimes heavily scanned documents aren’t recognized as such, but instead as an image. Before testing this feature, make sure to click on Edit- OCR Options - Perform-image Based Conversion. This function will ensure that the file is recognized as a scanned PDF, in the event that the default setting doesn’t work. However the default setting is recommended because it preserves the original layout best.
