This worked for me! File, print, choose Adobe pdf as the printer. Then hit print. It will ask you to save it...save it under a different file name. Boom! It worked for me! Hope this helps.

Same error, on MAC, trying to reduce file size - Fixed by opening in preview, exporting to PDF with new name, Opening THAT PDF to reduce file size.

If you are a Mac user, use Preview to avoid the issue or avoid Acrobat.

I had the same error. This is what worked:
1. Rename the original pdf.
2. Open with... Google Chrome.
3. Print --> Save as PDF

Having the same issue. Every time I try to save as new PDF (even with new filename), I get this error. I tried to export to .ps, but this gives a different error about annotation objects. I cannot believe that Adobe Acrobat and the PDF format remains the standard document format of the world. This needs to change.

Received a PDF file. Opened using Acrobat Pro 2017. Needed to save with a new name to comply with standards at work. Every time I tried got this error message: The document could not be saved. A number is out of range.) Was able to resolve by extracting the pages. Then had no issues saving the file.

I was able to fix this error by going to Edit>Preferences and turning off protected view and checking "Automatically trust documents with valid certificates"

I did a Google search on just "A number is out of range", and found the following solution at https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/a-number-is-out-of-range-error-viewing-pdf-deleting-pages.html .
Save the PDF as a Postscript [.ps] file USING A DIFFERENT FILENAME.
Open this .ps file with Acrobat Distiller, which automatically creates a (new) PDF (.pdf) with the new name.
The problem you may have is if you can't save the file to a Postscript [.ps] file and you don't have Acrobat Distiller to open the ps file to create the new PDF.
Really, Adobe should fix this problem . . . which maybe they have in the subscription-based Acrobat -- I'm still using an old standalone Adobe Acrobat Pro on a Mac.
Note: My original PDF had no security options set. It did, however, have fillable fields, which were maintained WITH MY FILLED IN VALUES after the above process!

Is the issue because the pdf file is in protected view? We have the same issue only with some PDF files send from a particular organization.

Saved a document from courts.ca/gov and same issue. Driving me CRAZY! was able to enter a bunch of data and save the form once. Then went back to add in text to a few fields and now cannot save and get this error. These docs have a million fields and has now already wasted an hour and looks like I'll have to retype the entire thing! how to fix?

I got this error after this: I created a pdf of a simple Excel file and sent it to a client. They added some signatures and sent it back. Now I can't save the version they sent back..

I have to submit a departmental registration form at The University Of Florida every semester. I always have the same bug! Immediately before I even edit it, I try and save it and I get the error message: "The document could not be saved. A number is out of range".

This problem has started occuring for me on extracted files only. I extract a few pages to convert to png but it won't export and save the image file because the number is out of range. Ridiculous because I don't even care about the page number for an image.

I compile medical reports on an editable UK Ministry of Justice pdf form, using the latest version of Reader DC.
It has always been easy to edit and save until yesterday.
I now cannot save any edited file.
Usually, the font gets smaller as thge text boxes are filled but this is not happening.
I have looked at a number of suggested fixes from other threads but none work.Any solution?
