Description Frederic Van Assche 2009-08-24 00:11:10 UTC 
Version:           0.9 (using KDE 4.3.0)
Compiler:          gcc 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Reproducing:

1) Open any file in Okular
2) Click File->Save As...
3) An empty 0 byte file is created, and Okular displays an error
----
4) Try again, but click File->Save Copy As... this time
5) The file is saved correctly with the specified name

I get this bug on both a 64 bit Archlinux system, and a 32 bit Kubuntu 9.04 system.
Both a "Save As" and "Save Copy As" entry seems a bit redundant. Maybe make the "Save As" entry work, and remove the "Save Copy As" entry, or is there a reason for the separation?
Comment 1 Albert Astals Cid 2009-08-24 01:03:02 UTC 
Save as saves any possible modification you have made to the file, save a copy does not save modifications, the problem is that you are trying to save a file that poppler (the underlying layer in the system that handles pdf files) doens't know how to save, so saving fails.

Not much we can do here unless someone fixes poppler. (And i'm the poppler maintainer and i don't think i have time to fix that)

Save as works for me on current trunk (r1023958) with poppler 0.10.7
Comment 4 Gabriele Tozzi 2010-02-26 12:13:29 UTC 
Same for me using okular 0.9.4 on KDE 4.3.4
Comment 5 Gabriele Tozzi 2010-10-26 08:32:18 UTC 
This books looks to have been solved sometime.

It works fine on lastest kubuntu (okular 0.11.1)

Closing as WorksForMe, if anyone can still please reproduce with a new Okular (KDE >= 4.5.1) please reopen the bug.

Thanks for using Okular
