Acrobat permission issues

English Applications

Dear all,

I was wondering if you could help me with the following issue.

When I try to save a pdf from Acrobat Reader to my windows partition I get the dialog from acrobat with error:
“You do not have permission to write to this file”.

Here is my fstab entry for the relevant partition:

/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_(numbers here)part5 /windows/E ntfs-3g users,gid=users,fmask=113,dmask=002,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0

I have no problem saving to this partition using other applications (including pdfs with evince). Also, acrobat saves without problems to my suse drives.

I am using 64-bit openSUSE 11.0.

Any ideas what settings I need to change?

Thanks.

For what it is worth, my copy of Acrobat reader will not allow you to save a PDF file outside of my home area either. However, I can copy the file somewhere else using Dolphin with no problem later. I just save PDF’s while in Firefox in my Documents area if I viewed them with Acrobat reader and move or copy them later to my NTFS partition. This seems to be some kind of security setting in Acrobat reader.

Thank You,

Thanks. It looks like the problem is not specific to my setting but a general feature of some versions of Acrobat Reader on Linux systems.

I am the some problem, but only with openSUSE (11.2).
In Ubuntu works without any problem.

Does everyone have read write access to the NTFS files. I believe that by default Suse only provides read access to users
