This page cannot be edited in SharePoint Designer
By peter.stilgoe
If you are getting this error its because you are trying to edit a publishing page. To edit a publishing page you will need to first detach it from its ‘Master Page Layout’, now you can edit it as you wish but any changes to the master layout obviously will no longer apply to this page.

Save site as a template – missing on publishing sites
By peter.stilgoe
If youve tried to save a publishing site as a template in Sharepoint you will notice the link isnt there. However an easy way around this is to simply append: /_layouts/savetmpl.aspx to the site URL ie
/PATH/TO/SITE/_layouts/savetmpl.aspx
