Save a PDF document
With all the possible modifications that can be done to a PDF document, it is important to save copies of
the original document as well as the revised and edited versions. Saving frequently can prevent you from
losing your changes, and can enable you to perform comparisons between different document versions
with the parallel viewing options.
Saving a PDF document retains all your additions (for example, markup, annotations, form field data, and
typed text) as editable elements, which you can modify individually at a later stage.
For more information, see Annotation layer and content layer and Multiple documents in parallel view.
Save your PDF document
As you are working on a PDF document it is recommended to save your progress. This saves any changes
into the original file without creating new copies.
To save your PDF document:
1. Open your PDF document
2. Make the necessary changes
3. In the File menu, click Save
TIP: You can save your PDF file with the Save button in the Quick Access Toolbar. For more inform-
ation, see The Quick Access Toolbar and Explore the Nitro Pro 9 user interface.
Save As a new version of your PDF document
If you received a blank form that you want to fill-in, you can save a separate copy which includes your
changes. This allows you to obtain two copies; the original blank form, and your copy which includes
additional data after you populated the fields.
To use Save As to create a new version of a PDF document:
1. Open your PDF document
2. Make the necessary changes
3. In the File menu, click Save As, and then choose:
l Nitro Cloud: Upload the PDF file to your Nitro Cloud account. You must log in to your Nitro
Cloud account to upload files.
l Computer: Choose from the available options to save in a Recent Folder or click Browse to
pick another destination.
4. Rename the file to prevent it from overwriting the original, and select a location where you wish to
save it
5. Click Save
NOTE: If you Save a PDF file, Nitro Pro 9 makes incremental changes to the existing file. This is faster,
especially for large PDF files, but can increase the size of the file.
If you Save As, Nitro Pro 9 creates a brand new PDF file with a new file name, and discards any old
