We are trying to create PDFs of word, excel and powerpoint documents and save them to a SharePoint (2007) team site. Once there, the idea is that the responsible individual can then sign the PDF digitally rather than printing, signing with a pen, scanning and uploading again.
However, Acrobat X doesn't seem to want to let me save a newly-created PDF to SharePoint, giving me:
"You cannot save in the folder you specified. Please choose another location."
This is the same regardless of where the .DOC file is opened from - c: drive, network drive or SharePoint itself.
I also tried signing digitally at the same time as creating the PDF, but I got the same message. I'm wondering if Acrobat X understands SharePoint at all.
I'd appreciate any ideas anyone may have.

Sharepoint has a database managing all of the content. Unless you configure Sharepoint to allow the processing of PDFs like an MS Office document, you will need to upload the PDF to Sharepoint through the Sharepoint UI.
This is not an issue of Acrobat understanding Sharepoint, but Sharepoint recognizing PDFs as a registered file type. Converting Word Documents to PDF Using SharePoint Server 2010 and Word Automation ServicesOr uupgrade. Extending PDF support within Microsoft SharePoint

Our problem is attaching a pdf file in SharePoint to Oracle/Primavera Contract Manager, then opening the pdf from within that program. .pdf opens an IE dialog asking if you want to save the document. .doc, .xls, and .xps all work fine. I think it's a trust issue between Oracle and SP2010/IE8.
I've also noticed that the Adobe checkout/checkin procedure does not work like the Adobe X video shows it. We only see native SP2010 checkin/checkout.
It's all very perplexing and, very frustrating.
