acroread 9: you do not have permission to write to this file

I have the same problem.
With previous Acrobat reader it worked properly.

I could save any programs with Firefox to directories, located on a mounted ntfs or FAT32 partition, but could not save any files with Acrobat Reader into them.

Affected lines from /etc/fstab :
UUID=4839-85AC /media/data vfat defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
UUID=60BCC7D1BCC7A040 /media/marci_kulso ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1

Output of 'ls -la' in the directory of /media:

drwxrwx--- 14 root plugdev 16384 1970-01-01 01:00 data
drwxrwx--- 1 root plugdev 4096 2009-09-03 16:16 marci_kulso

I'm in the group of plugdev and I can read and write these mounted partitions without root permissions.

I wounder if I could give Adobe Reader plugdev rights could solve the problem...

Still have same issue with Acrobat 9.2

Here's my /etc/fstab line used for mounting my windows partition (where acrobat can't save):

UUID=AA840CBC840C8D4F /media/win ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 1

There doesn't seem to be a gui front-end for fstab, so I don't know if my fstab line is exactly perfect and proper. I've never had any issues until this though.

I have the sam issue
using Ubuntu 9.10 „Karmic Koala“ and Acrobat 9.1

I cannot save on my FAT32 partition

I have the issue too.. using both kubuntu 9.10 and 10.04 beta1 with Adobe 9.3.1. I am trying to save in an ntfs partition.

My fstab line for the drive is:

UUID=6C44A61844A5E4D4 /mnt/wind ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

It affects me as well. I'm using ubuntu 10.04 and acroread 9.3.3. I'm also trying to save to a ntfs partition.
My fstab line is:
UUID=248EEFB22D79C452 /media/ntfs1 ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 0

Also affects writing to AFS Filesystem.
We are using Ubuntu 10.04 and acroread 9.4.2.
Is still somebody working on this case?

Status please.

Adobe Reader 9 still can't save to ntfs partition. Saves fine to ext4 though...

Ubuntu 11.10
acroread 9.4.7
fstab: UUID=B84CE75E4CE715C2 /media/windows ntfs defaults 0 0

If browsers like Opera or Firefox have rights to save to ntfs, why not acroread?

Hello all,
I have the same problem with "Document Viewer 3.2.1" but, first of all, it's impossible to create a new folder in the "save as" dialog window. Of course, I can create the folder outside the program (with nautilus).
What is wrong with this program ?

affects me as well, tried writing to a encfs filesystem. Will need to uninstall as it's not usable in this state.

Hi, a new acroread release (0.9.4) is available for update, could you give it a try and tell us if the problem persists?
If you still have this bug please set back the status to "new"
thanks

I have the same problem. Can't save to vfat partition.

Ubuntu 13.10
acroread 9.5.5
fstab: /dev/sda6 /media/data vfat utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
