Fatal Error reading PDF File - Adobe Reader

If you get a "Fatal Error" when trying to open a PDF file, this worked for me: Go into Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall or Change a program > Find Adobe Reader (mine was Adobe Reader X) > then right-click, select Change, then "Repair...", Next, Finish.

Save a PDF File

Once you find a .pdf file to save, you may notice there is no "right-click" or save option available in the Toolbar. If you have Adobe reader installed (which you likely do if you are looking at a .pdf), you'll find that if you hover your cursor over the lower center part of the screen, you'll see several options, and one of them is Save!

It looks like this (but you'll only see it if you hover):










You can also click that icon on the far right and it will bring up the standard Adobe toolbar framing the .pdf file with even more options.

(CTRL + SHIFT + S works too)

Sweet! I always seem to forget this...
