Basics > Saving a document

When you have completed a document, you should save it to retain it permanently. To do so, click on the command File | Save.

Tip: This command can also be found by default in the Quick access toolbar below the ribbon.

If the document does not yet have a name, FlexiPDF automatically prompts you to assign a file name to it before saving it.

Saving under a different name or in a different location

FlexiPDF also has a command called File | Save as. This also saves your document, but you can first assign it another name or select another folder in which to save it.

Saving all open documents

If you have multiple documents open at the same time, you can choose the command View | group Documents | Close all to save them all at once. FlexiPDF checks whether the documents have been changed since they were last saved and saves only those that have been changed.

Further options for Save as

To the right of the command File | Save as, a submenu opens with a few more options for saving:

▪Save as final

Changes to the file will no longer be displayed the next time you open it. For more information, see Track changes.

▪Save as (reduced size)

This option reduces the size of the document by resampling all images in the document. For more information, see Resampling images.

▪Save as (convert text to outlines)

This option converts the text into vector outlines (contours of letters) if you have trouble printing certain PDFs because of incorrect fonts or glyphs. For more information, see Converting text into outlines.

▪Save as PDF/A

You can use this command to create a standard-compliant PDF file in the PDF/A standard. This standardized format allows the long-term archiving of documents and is considered a prerequisite when documents must be stored in a non-editable manner and in an identical format to the original documents.
