[Bug 414862] [NEW] acroread 9: you do not have permission to write to this file

[Doug Holton]

Public bug reported:

Using acroread 9.1 from the Canonical Partner repository (acroread is no
longer provided by medibuntu).

When clicking the save button in acroread to save a copy of a pdf, it
sometimes gives this error: "you do not have permission to write to this
file"

See this thread with many others having the same problem with acroread 9: 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1141801

It looks like it might be a thing with saving to NTFS or FAT drives or
something.  So far their only workaround is to downgrade to acroread 8.

My workaround is to use the Firefox save as dialog instead, or if
reading a pdf locally, just control-drag a copy of the file to the place
to copy it.
