Item 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER
   

This Amendment No. 4 amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 13, 2017, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on 11/27/17, and Amendment No. 2 filed 1/18/18, and Amendment No. 3 filed 5/21/2018. With respect to the common stock, no par value per share (the "Common Shares"), of Aberdeen Total Dynamic Dividend Fund (the "Issuer"). This Amendment No. 4 amends Items 3, and 5 as set forth below.

   
Item 3.

SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

   

Funds for the purchase of the Common Shares were derived from the subscription proceeds from investors in the Saba Entities and the capital appreciation thereon and margin account borrowings made in the ordinary course of business. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account, which may exist from time to time. Since other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Common Shares reported herein. A total of $57,823,975 was paid to acquire the Common Shares reported herein

   
Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

(a)

See rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D/A for the aggregate number of Common Shares and percentages of the Common Shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons. The percentages used herein are calculated based upon 107,593,339 shares of common stock outstanding as of 4/30/2018, as disclosed in the company's Certified Shareholder Report Form N-CSRS filed 7/9/2018.

   
(b)

See rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D/A for the number of Common Shares as to which each Reporting Person has the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition.

   
(c)

The transactions in the Shares effected since the filing of the Schedule 13D/A Amendment 3 by Saba Capital on behalf of the Saba Entities, which were all in the open market, are set forth in Schedule A, and are incorporated herein by reference.

   
(d)

No person other than the Reporting Persons and the Saba Entities is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, such Common Shares.

   
(e)

Not applicable.
