Hi,
I've just acquired a new 64 GB iPad and was trying to save a copy of the user guide which
I d/l from the Apple Store. Each time I hit "save as" I get a window saying the "The document
iPad_user_guide.pdf could not be exported as iPad_user_guide.pdf"
I don't understand the "exported" bit as it that doesn't appear in the Safari-file window.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can save a copy to my iMac for reference?

I don't know if the Adobe Reader plug in is installed in your version of Safari - but when I download the file this is what my Safari window looks like and I can click on the blue disk icon in the upper left to save the file to the desktop.
Or try this. Go here.

Right click on the iPad User Guide for iOS 5.1 and then select "download linked file". That should work for you.

You might also, on your computer, be able to 'right click and save as' which will download the PDF that you can then use reader to open or put it into the iBooks app so you can read it on the device.
Hi Demo & Skydiver,
Problem solved.
I do have the Adobe Acrobat plug-ins installed in Safari, however I don't seem to have a blue disc in upper left to click on and save.
When I try a right click all I get is "add texture, select tool, hand tool, marquee zoom,rotate, print, find document properties, and page display prefs."
To overcome this problem, I noticed under Tools (right hand side) there is a send files/attach to email which already has the iPad user guide in the select file box. Clicked on attach button which then opened up an "how would you like to email this document? window . I chose "send copy" and an email page opened with the file
listed. All I then did was to drag it to the desk top. Bingo its saved.
This is a bit long winded way of saving the guide but at least it worked.
Thanks for your help
Alan
It is also available in iBooks.
