Can't save changed PDF to system i IFS folder

I'm using Acrobat XI Pro on Windows 8 Pro, have unchecked the "Enable Enhanced Security" and have turned off Windows Explorer preview option.  
The scenario is this:  
I open a PDF generated by a system i (AS/400 or i Series) application.  
I place a dynamic java script stamp on the document and attempt to save.  
I receive the following message:  
"The document could not be saved.  The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open.  Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder."
I can't save the updated PDF or do a "save as".  I get the same message in both cases.  I can save the document to my windows desktop no problem.
I'm a domain administrator and "own" the IFS folder....  any thoughts/ideas would be appreciated.

Hello
Where is IFS folder located?
The path
Avatar of AirVentIT

ASKER

QDLS/reports/etc../etc..
Before QDLS?
full path please
Nothing is before QDLS.
The files are saved directly to windows system or access them via network path?
\\AS400\QDLS\PUBLIC\REPORTS
Okay - now I understand what you meant by full path...  The REPORTS folder is shared so the path is \\AS400\REPORTS\etc.\etc.
Ok nice

Have you tried to copy the pdf as is, to desktop let's say, before placing the java script stamp, and then change it?
Yes I have done that.  I am able to copy the pdf to my desktop, apply the stamp and save the changes to my desktop however I'm unable to moved the changed pdf back to the IFS folder.

I figured out the solution on my own.
Normally I deserve the points, because my direction, as seen from the solution, was a permission-security matter
honestly I don't care one way or the other.  

You're welcome to the points.
