How to Use "Save As" With Adobe Reader
Adobe Reader has a built-in functionality that allows you to save PDF (Portable Document Format) files either as text files or as PDF files. Adobe Reader does not allow you to edit a PDF file, so saving a PDF file as a text file is a useful method since you can edit it using a program such as "Notepad" or "WordPad." The "Save As" functionality in Adobe Reader is very similar to what you will find in most other Windows-based programs.

Type the name that you would like to associate with the file that you are about to save into the "File Name" field. By default, Adobe Reader only saves the file in the .txt extension, which means that you can only open it in programs such as "Notepad" and "WordPad." If you want to save it as a PDF file, click the "Save as Type" dropdown menu and select "All Files." Remove the ".txt" extension from the end of the file name and add ".pdf" (without quotes) instead.
