This looks like the file doesn't have write permission. That has nothing to do with PDF, it's your file system. As the message indicates, you can try to fix this using Finder. It may also be that the folder you want to save to does not have write permissions for you.

THe only problem is when I try to save a version of the document with notes and highlighted text, I keep getting a message that I cannot save it as I do not have permissions for that pdf. document. (this includes trying to save or export the document in the variety of options given in the document). Given that virtually all the pdfs. that we use are locked, is there someway of saving it with notes and highlights? > > Otherwise skim is pretty pointless. > > > > Thanks, > > > > Cormac. > > You should be able to just save, as that just saves the PDF data unchanged. I have no problem saving protected PDFs with attached notes. You may not be able to Export with embedded notes for protected documents. Perhaps there is some problem with the permissions of the file on the disk, or the type of disk you save to? What exactly is the error message you get? > > Christiaan |
