Your "Steps to Reproduce:" are somewhat not exact, can you please describe exactly the steps you do? That is, what menus you open, what buttons you click, etc?

Al:
Thank you for your comments. I will try to answer you.

1) FILE, SAVE AS, Go to Okular SAVE screen, type in name of file to be saved, hit Save button and you will get a box that says, 'File could not be saved in file:/// home/ken/Desktop/'file'  Try to save it in another location.'
Comment 3 Albert Astals Cid 2010-09-28 20:14:16 UTC
Works for me. Which kind of file are you trying to save? Which poppler version do you have?
Comment 4 ken Johnson 2010-10-01 07:40:09 UTC
popplar version... what do you mean?---I do not understand. My OS is ubuntu 10.04 and I do not know what KDE version is installed...

my files are 95% PDF files emailed me. Other files are OpenOffice files. All the files that were that caused me my headaches were ".pdf ---.pdf.okular" designated files. I don't know of any others.
Comment 5 Albert Astals Cid 2010-10-03 14:09:00 UTC
OpenOffice files? That are not pdf files...

Also you say
'File could not be saved in file:/// home/ken/Desktop/'file'

Is that exact? I mean there is a space between file:/// and home?
Comment 6 ken Johnson 2010-10-03 21:43:46 UTC
There IS no space between file:/// and home. It should be file:///home...
Comment 7 Albert Astals Cid 2010-10-16 00:10:22 UTC
Well, to be fair, it still works for me, and your steps description still is bad, you don't mention how you open okular, what file are you using, etc. etc. etc.

So can you please include a *very detailed* step by step description of all you do from the instant you open okular to the instant you get the error?

I'm afraid Plasma 4.5.1 is unfortunately no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE.

Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one (including for apps like Okular). Please update to Plasma 5.27 or later as soon as your distro offers it to you. If you need support for Plasma 4.5.1, please contact your distro, who bears the responsibility of providing support for older non-LTS releases.

If this issue is still reproducible in either Plasma 5.27 (the current LTS version) or Plasma 6.0.5 (the latest released version), feel free to re-open this bug report.

Thanks for understanding!
